that 2 pick is being traded
It’s just Pop picking up the phone and saying we like what we have
that 2 pick is being traded
Will Tspence weigh in on what the Spurs are going to do in the draft?
Full circle. Lol.
There definitely could be something to all these trade rumors with Golden State. Or, Steve Kerr is trying to do Pop a solid by letting these rumors persist to help Pop hype up Lamarcus on the trade market. Both options are plausible and also sort of ridiculous.
Easy mistake but Golden State's second probably isn't going to be as valuable to the Spurs. Golden State owns both of Minnesota's 2021 picks from the DeAngelo Russell trade.
Them taking Gay into their trade exception in exchange for the Minnesota 2021 second rounder makes sense for both teams. Golden State gets a player that can help them for the cost of a second rounder and the Spurs lop off $14.5 million from their books.
We need another Twitter fight with Don Harris.
Please, yes. A high 2nd rounder would be incredible but in this draft.
I was listening to that Hollinger podcast last week, and he mentioned that doing deals with the Spurs were the hardest because they never really showed any of their cards so teams didn't know they were willing to trade. As a result their interest in players never really got reported.
The fact that multiple people have reported the Spurs trying to move up shows that they're being much more aggressive than normal.
Dallas has Golden State's 2nd in this draft. The 2021 draft is supposed to be better, I'm sure that's the pick that the Spurs would want from Golden State for Gay.
After the Nephew deal, I'm legit surprised that teams aren't absolutely lining up to make a deal with Pop, RC, and Wright tbh
Couple of kind words to Pop and the Spurs will give you $ to take away their best assets
After nephew and what happened with Bertans and the Morris fiasco, I don't know whether I'm scared or need to get out the popcorn.
I see it as more GS not wanting to add on all that salary and taxes. Spurs dont have much use for him. I agree that Min 2nd rd would probably be better but getting out from Gay salary for nothing would be good too. Its Kind of the same reason why I think it would be LMA for Wiggins and number 2 without the 11th. Spurs have some power here as they would be saving money for GS.
Gay is an expiring and useful for a contender. Overpaid by a bit, sure. But not useless. Great salary matching piece.
Its not just over paid it is his salary time 4. him plus the repeater tax. Still think he is worth it? Dont think he will move the needle that much for them. They have already said they probably will not use it.
John Hollinger has mentioned Gay as a player that Golden State and other contenders should go after. On a recent podcast, he suggested that GSW could take him into their trade exception while shipping out Kevon Looney.
Looney makes $4.8. In doing so it would offset some of Gay's salary, while probably saving GSW a lot in luxury tax, when compared to keeping Looney and adding Gay.
Spurs would probably want GSWs second round though, in addition to the Minny's 2021 second round pick back in that particular deal.
I think it's clear that several teams are interested in moving up in the draft, including Boston and New Orleans.
If GSW is serious about trading back then they have a number of other options. Spurs would need to include their 11th pick to make a compe ive offer. Given how aggressive the Spurs seem to be, I think it's likely that they would, in addition to offering to take in Wiggins in a deal for number 2.
Gay, Mills + 11 for Wiggins + 2
Most definitely!!
I dont think we could take back salary if Gay is going into the TE.
I realized he has been mentioned but GS has also said they dont want to do it unless the player is exceptional. I dont think he is exceptional.
Who else are we competing against for the #2. Everything I have seen has mentioned that teams have turned them down when wanting to include wiggins. I would not do it if we had to give up 11. #2 is no sure thing this year. #11 is not much worse then#2 this year and has a cheaper salary.
ST gonna be livid af whenever spurs trade Aldridge + 11 for only Wiggins lol seriously I pray I’m wrong but I still can’t see the warriors trading the #2 for anyone on the spurs
If GS wants to move Looney and use their TE then we could include Murray (I think his salary works) and keep #11.... That's probably as good of an offer as they could get..
i'm glad something is cooking !!
about time.
