Spurs Trade Rumor Thread (Spurs eyeing Collins, Osman? Fielding calls on Jak?)

Yeah there's no way this dude is coming back this year.

[Rocalcio]

2021 Examples of RFA’s who switched teams:

Lonzo Ball
Markkanen
Devonte Graham
Hinton

It is a short list from a group of over 30+ RFA’s.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Spurs go after Kyle Anderson or Dorian Finney Smith

I would love Kyle to be back.

[Chinook]

Hopefully the Pelicans stay ahead of the Spurs in draft order at this point. I'd love to see SAC and Indy make win-now moves for the same reason. It makes some sense for the Spurs to land a big fish if they can do so cheaply. But besides a Young deal, it makes way more sense to just ride out this season. Next year should be a completely different team if Pop retires.

[spurspl]

POR not likely, they want to keep their pick this year. Keep Jakob and fight with NO for 10 seed or trade him and sink to that bottom 5 record.

fighting for 8-10th seed is the reason why we suck and still dont have young franchise player, why the heck u wanna do the same mistake again and again... typical spurs fan

[KingKev]

They’re actually positioned pretty well, assuming Dame returns for Portland in the relative near future. That would mean that neither Portland, nor New Orleans are tanking, meaning short of some shocking acquisitions, we shouldn’t slip lower that 7th in the standings. That gives us a great shot to jump up.

NO looks to be making a move for the play-in and will be well positioned if Zion returns but Portland is inclined to rest Dame and tank for that 2022 FRP as it is protected 1-14 I believe.

[MannyIsGod]

Portland is 100% tanking. NOP and SAC will definitely try to win now. I think its virtually impossible to pass OKC, HOU, ORL, and DET. Indiana? IDK what they are doing.

[exstatic]

Pretty sure they shut Dame down for the year and their recent trade signals total tank. Especially when they trade CJ and possibly Nurk.

Hadn’t heard he was shut down. Last word was re-eval in like 5 weeks.

[spurspl]

portland gonna keep dame

[RC_Drunkford]

CJ to NOLA for their 2022 first. That should mean we are definitely staying behind them in the draft. The question is if we can lose enough to stay behind the Blazers

well it's not like what i say matters in the standings. If we keep Jakob and we remain relatively healthy our point differential indicates a play in team.

[KingKev]

Hadn’t heard he was shut down. Last word was re-eval in like 5 weeks.

Dame himself already said he is fine to rest of they want to tank because there is no way they can expect him to go out there and not give 110%.

I know you aren’t much of a fan of his but he is built different. Absolute compe or. One of few players I’d go all in on sans DJ and our 2022 FRP.

[MannyIsGod]

Yeah that trade of CJ confirms the Portland tank. Confirms NOLA is trying for the playoffs as well, though.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Portland sent a 1st round pick for Larry Nance not 6 months ago and are now just throwing him to NO as salary ballast. Ugh.

If nobody likes him I'm definitely trying to get him with Juancho's contract.

And that's a good news for the draft, sours will have a top 10 pick minimum if they are not in the play-in.

Agree with you about Portland, we'll see if they will trade Nurkic or someone else.

There has to be multiple firsts involved or Portland thinks they can land something major and these trades helped favilitate the next move.

Larry Nance is meh, shown some flashes over the years but Zollins is cheaper, better and higher upside as a backup big.

He’s got $9.6M due next year, and I’m not sure he’s much better than KBD.

Buzz was that both sides are interested in Nurkic staying in Portland.

[Atl Spur]

All these horrible moves by front offices league wide but spurs fans stuck on a Carroll mis step years later……. Typical��

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Just one first - Blazers get it if it's between picks 5 and 14 this year, otherwise it rolls over, no idea about the future protections. Two future seconds as well.

He’s got $9.6M due next year, and I’m not sure he’s much better than KBD.

Last I've watched him he was a good, mobile, positive impact role player. He's a rich man's KBD. I'd understand if the Spurs don't want to dip into the summer's cap space, but his contract should be easily movable unless he's injured for the season or something.

[KingKev]

They just gave up alot for very little and are going to use that cap to resign their UFA whose bird rights they hold? Yikes. There have to be more moves coming or more picks involved in the CJ trade.

[Atl Spur]

For all those straddling the fence, go sit at the kids table and let the grownups handle this��

Yeah looks like it. Massive salary dump for Portland it appears. They making a run at Harden? He just got representation.

Quick look on my end, if they have no dead cap they have 30+ to play with and a top 10 22pick if they renounce Nurk.

Harden? Is that a good fit to you?

I'd be happy with Lance as our starting 4, he's really good at defending. Collins is supposed to play 5, not 4.

Yeah they seem to be happy to get rid of everyone bar Lillard and young players. They have some dead money - they'll be paying Andrew Nicholson until 2023 (for the Demarre fanboys) and they'll have to keep Simons's hold on their cap before they re-sign him but they'll have a max slot open and will probably be very aggressive. Would make free agency even more interesting.
