Let’s just be done with the talk of getting a 1st for Aldridge. No team is going to do that unless we return a significant rotation player and I don’t see any value in doing that.
To even sniff a lottery pick we’d have to give up two rotation players and a pick of our own.
No one is giving us free .
That's highly likely to be the case. If a team needed cap space though, and wanted to give us a guy like Love or Wiggins that has multiple years on a contract, the Spurs wouldn't trade LMA unless a draft pick is attached. It's not LMA being exchanged for the draft pick, it's the cap space.
I think a team like Boston who has so many draft picks and a contending team might not care much for a late first round pick. They probably don’t want it as they looking at trying to keep or add experience players to compete for a le.
Send him to Boston for a 2nd. Done.
He's likely to be a buyout otherwise. We don't need more players on the roster and it's unlikely to produce a 1st. Grab a second for a stash high ceiling Euro and be happy.
Boston will have a late first and two second round picks I believe - But with the 2022 free agent class being the jewel for many teams they will want to have as much space to get that franchise changing player “Spurs have NO Chance” in getting that type of free agent.
Boston has to send us something back, even if they use their trade exception, so they don't go over the luxury tax. So I doubt any pick would be involved in that trade scenario. It would be player swaps. The Spurs would have to want the extra salary in return. If it required them taking on more salary, then hopefully they demand a pick.
I’d like Grant Williams from Boston tbh
In order to get out of paying $30 million, it will require at least two picks or a pick and a young asset that they don't have--other than Wiseman.
It's a fair point on Wiggins, he fills a role, and would take pressure off of Thompson next season. However, with Curry, Thompson, Draymond, and Wiggins are making $30 million plus next season, it all adds up to them being an incredibly expensive team--plus they have to re-sign Oubre and Wiseman is already expensive because he was a high pick.
In other words, they may not have a choice but to move Wiggins. Minnesota's pick isn't likely to convey this season anyways, so they might not be able to get a contributor with that pick to offset Wiggins next season not to mention that pick's salary could be expensive in and of itself.
Besides, they haven't had a great track record of drafting in recent years so it's not necessarily something that they can count on.

If they're really five teams in the mix for Aldridge, simply getting a second if I'm Boston would be bad return unless they're prioritizing where he wants to go. Boston can afford to pay more than a second round pick and the Spurs should ask for as much.
Thompson is under contract for next season for almost $10 million, if the Spurs are willing to take him back, it would save Boston money next year and possibly justify the Spurs asking for Boston's 2021 first in return for Aldridge.
Let’s get this rolling already!
GSW: DeRozan, Aldridge, Walker, & SAS 2022 1st
SAS: Wiggins, Oubre, Wiseman, & the Minny pick
We give up our 1st in 2022 since the Minny pick will be unprotected then. So basically a “pick swap” that year and it will probably be a top 5 pick.
BOS: Gay
SAS: 2022 2nd
2022 2nd to replace the one we traded a few years back.
Huh?
I never said he wasn't getting traded. What are you on?
I said it was unlikely or impossible that the Spurs would dump him on a terrible, non-playoff team.
What are you talking about?
that first trade is so laughable, why even post itcome on man
Hopefully he like the "Gift That Keeps On Giving" and his trade gets us a draft pick...

Your quote had me rolling dude..lol
I'm lightheartedly making fun of you for this post:
No matter what we get for Aldridge, it probably wont be much, the rest of the league will think that we just caved because we couldn't find a deal to our/his liking. Let him wait until after the deadline if necessary to buy him out. He is still likely getting paid the majority of his salary if not all of it. He has made his money, its now about the rings of which he doesn't have one yet.
No, that was Steve Smith

Laughable for who?? Because I’ve seen people argue it both ways and that’s typically the sign of a decent trade.that first trade is so laughable, why even post it
The Warriors hang up the phone mid-introductory pitch for that trade, that's how bad it is. The only people you might've seen arguing it's laughable for the Spurs to do, are probably homers on this board, and even then I'd love to see a quote and whether it was that specific scenario. It's simply beyond unrealistic.
you're kidding right? why on earth would the warriors trade away Wiseman and a lotto pick in this year's deep draft plus their SF depth for a worse pick and some expirings plus walker? that is a terrible trade for GSW
A lineup of:you're kidding right? why on earth would the warriors trade away Wiseman and a lotto pick in this year's deep draft plus their SF depth for a worse pick and some expirings plus walker? that is a terrible trade for GSW
Curry
Thompson
DeRozan
Green
Aldridge
vet mins and Walker off the bench should be enough to compete. At this point if they don’t do something drastic IMO they have left the contenders conversation. Also Wiseman has underperformed and is owed a ton of $$$$
I also appreciate your positive outlook on the Spurs but the pick we would be giving them will probably be a lottery pick too haha
LMA + [Young Wings] + An Old Guy + However Many #1 Picks It Takes to get Vooch.
[Young Wings] = Any of Keldon, Derrick, Lonnie, Vassell. To me, DJ is the only truly off limits one. Would rank Keldon and Derrick and the next two important that you try to keep... but if they gotta go, they gotta go. I see Keldon's ceiling being a 17 ppg / 7 rpg guy. By all means, that's a solid player - but I don't see him every approaching Vooch's level.
This assumes we are resigning Demar. If not, just send LMA off for anything and keep rebuilding. John Collins ain't coming tho.
Thompson is out for the season and LA and DeMar are expiring contracts. That line up would never play together even if they make the trade. That’s why your trade idea is so re ed
Are they also trading for Tristan Thompson? Because Klay isn’t playing anymore this year.
In all seriousness though, to people saying Demar is “an expiring” are totally off base. He would absolutely resign with GSW and a trade like this would be there only way to acquire someone of his caliber. I’d jump at that trade in a heartbeat, and don’t think Golden State hangs up the phone that quickly. Maybe if you drop the Minny and Spurs picks from the equation, you get to something a little more fair.
Kerr made some small improvements like you said but it really came down to Curry becoming an MVP player along with Klay becoming the second best SG in the league that catapulted the Warriors to elite status.
