The longer it goes, the more I’m believing that it’s either all just smoke and mirrors, or that that team is legitimately trying to get #2 but won’t actually happen.
Sounds more like he's hyping himself up than anything imho

This is the kind of deal that can only happen on draft night unless Minnesota gets involved.
I don’t know if it’s been speculated on but I could see the warriors only doing this trade if Wiseman is taken #1, I think wiseman is the GSWs guy but if he’s gone they’d settle with getting Aldridge + 11 or something
That makes sense for lower picks. With #2 you know all but one player will be available. I would do the deal ASAP so another team doesn’t swoop in with a better offer. I still think the pick swap with Atlanta or Detroit are more possible.

Imho, the only reason this seems plausible is you trade away Wiggins (lengthy and pricey) contract for 1 year of LMA, then the dubs use that cap space next summer to go after Giannis. I think that’s the warriors play.
GS won't have cap space until 2023.
Still not a given because every team is trying to leverage what they have even to the point of some teams taking players they never worked out or talked only because they have insider knowledge that the team behind them wants them. Minnesota holds a lot of cards here especially because they now here Charlotte and Spurs are very high on a guy like Wiseman. Say Spurs make this trade but Hornets get scared and make a trade with Timberwolves for an asset + their 3rd while Timberwolves still might get the guy they always wanted at #3 anyway (i.e. either Edwards or LaMelo Ball). Even then many teams are eyeing those two guards so they could theoretically get even more after that by trading that pick to NY or Detroit who seem to be high on both of those guys as well.
Point is, Teams talk and prepare for dozens of scenarios that could happen until the actual draft and even then curveballs are thrown around everywhere.
Do the warriors use trade exemption on Rudy gay
I don't know if this has been posted already but earlier this year, Wiseman said he modeled his game after DA ADMIRAL. https://news4sanantonio.com/sports/s...a-spurs-legend
"So I am more like a back-in-the-day guy. So I'll say David Robinson for sure."
Another reason why the Spurs would be the ideal fit for him. He could learn from The Admiral himself.
You always want to trade draft rights to the player selected in the first round on draft night. If you trade the pick, you are precluded from trading your next first rounder, should something come up at the deadline. That’s any team.
And that is only if they renounce Klay and Steph. Raymond has a player option for 2023-2024. It’s $27M, and he’ll be 34.
Irony: LMA was drafted #2 overall, and traded on draft night to Portland. NBA Looper.
Ahhh that's right Chicago drafted him I believe...
Yup. Da Bulls!
If you get a 1st rounder in return it negates that rule. Plus isn’t it ok to trade all your future first rounders in separately?
No. You must make a pick every other year, even if you the trade the rights to the player. That’s the Stepien rule.
You were saying . . .
Biden president not Trump
“Of course, in spite of the Stepien rule, a team could still end up without a first-round pick on an annual basis, since the rule only applies to futurefirst-rounders. So a team like Toronto, which traded away its 2013 first-round pick, is now free to move its 2014 first-rounder, if it so chooses. In other words, a team can give up back-to-back first-round picks if the first of those two drafts has already passed.”

lots of ways to cir vent this.
I tend to agree in principle, but in another lost COVID year for the NBA who cares? It’s just paper swapping hands next year, and one more year of Wiggins beyond that. Get your kid at #2, and perhaps make GSW cough up a second. You picked two rooks last year anyway.
This is the guy for us. Just makes so much sense. Hopefully, PATFO can pull off a deal, even if it means getting Wiggins in return, IMO. We'll see.
Aldridge and 11 for Wiggins and #2 probably isn't enough for Golden State. They'd need another asset for them to even consider it, otherwise another team could put together a better package. Also, adding a third team means that they'd need to get an asset to take on 3 years of Wiggins. Spurs can and should take on Wiggins deal to get the number 2 pick, but its doubtful if their package would be enough as is.
If the Spurs trade for Wiggins they prolly lose Poeltl this year and one of White/Walker the following year.
