Lowe: Someone in league texted me and said there's a little bit of buzz about 2 for 11 + Aldridge

You don’t want to openly show your hand. You have to ask yourself if GS is going to trade #2,why did they bother meeting with Wiseman? That could have provided cover for Spurs reps being there, and also wouldn’t count as one of the SA meetings, which are limited.

Good post!!

If the Spurs trade for Wiggins they prolly lose Poeltl this year and one of White/Walker the following year.

Why? All those guys are cost controlled, and DDR comes off the books next year. If they are pitched somehow this year (they’re not), they can shed Lyles easy.

Forgot Walker was still under his rookie contract in 21/22 tbh. Still wouldn't give them #11 since the #2 pick this year would be the 10th pick in most other drafts.

They could absolutely use it on Gay cause he might be the best player available to them to use it on. They either have to use it or lose it.

They could use it yes but Doubt they would as that would be adding a lot to their already high tax rate.

Well, for one thing for sure, & that's PATFO has been coveting Deni Avdija for some time now, & I'm sure that they would love to draft him next week. Of coarse, that would mean for them to move up in the draft to get him. And with that number 2 pick, if they pull the trade trigger, I can see them going after their guy. They already have worked him out, but here is a article about it from Forbes: Teams like San Antonio and Milwaukee would have to trade up from their draft positions to have any kind of shot at Avdija, who’s projected to be take anywhere from 2 to somewhere in the top 10. Do the Spurs trade someone like DeMar DeRozan to move up? Who would the Bucks have to deal in order to be in a position to pair Avdija with Giannis Antetokounmpo next season?

With two weeks to go until the draft, rumors are going to be flying and some of them may even not be total, misleading lies!
I can see PATFO picking Deni over Wiseman, since it seems like they have been scouting & eyeing him for quite some time, & he would be a welcome addition to the Spurs' needs. So, if this LMA to GS is a possibility & if it can be pulled off, then, I can see Avdija being selected by the Spurs over Wiseman. So, come on 11/18!!!

There have been reports that Golden State isn't going to use it unless a player they like comes available. Gay has been speculated as a player that Golden State would like. Since The Spurs are likely rebuilding and are going to be a relatively expensive team, relative to a rebuilding team, so being able to trade Gay into GSWs trade exception should interest them.

Golden State has four trade assets that seem to fit; their 2nd pick in this years draft, their pick next season and Minny's 2021 1st and 2nd round picks. GSW probably isn't giving up a first for Gay-- The Spurs apparently wanted one last season and couldn't get one for him.

Its hard to say how good Golden State will be next season, obviously that affects the quality of their first round pick. It seems likely that their pick be in the early 20's. Teams don't give up good first's for aging vets on expiring deals. That leaves Minnesota's 2nd round pick, which is actually a pretty good asset. That's probably a high second round pick. That makes plenty of sense tbh.

So I will start by saying I thought your post said Minis 2021 1st pick for gay. Yours said minis 2021 2nd. I still this would be high but might be obtainable if GS wanted it. Would more realistically see GS giving us their 2nd. Spurs would be interested I would think as it would be a salary dump for them and help out a player. GS is the team that I could not see doing it. lots of tax on this.

I really wish they could keep LMA and dump derozan for #2 but derozan has no value in the modern nba

One week. The 2020 NBA draft will be held on November 18, 2020.

Spurs arnt gonna forfeit there mortgage maybe they add Luka but there not trading Lonnie and dwhite to take on a horrible contract

I wouldn't be so sure. This front office has done nothing but dumb since the 2017 offseason. I don't trust them one bit

I’ve only heard of the magic being interested in derozan and spurs talk could run that team better then they are imho. Tbh I hope I’m wrong though and someone will take him off the spurs hands

Not good. Hopefully it's nothing to worry about, but I've grown to fear LeGM.

Nice. We usually never hear anything about SA engaging teams in trade talks ever so something is definitely up, especially if multiple front offices are pointing it out. I'm gonna myself if Spurs flip their garbage stars for some solid rebuilding pieces

I think this actually hurts our leverage. That being said sometimes you have to be aggressive to get the trade done.
