Trade: Thad Young and Pistons 2022 second round pick for Goran Dragic and lottery protected 2022 first round pick from Raptors

[heyheymymy]

wow, so that's why Pop was sitting him. To save the team that trades for him some money Makes sense

Wow all these things we second guessed were deliberate CIA PATFO ops.

[elbamba1]

Do we still lose the 2nd if for whatever reason the Raptors get to keep their draft pick?

I believe it turns into two second round picks.

[spurraider21]

Please no.

can we bring back your boy Jeff Ayres though?

[flox]

Eubanks is welcome back to the Austin Spurs for sure.

lol that'd make so many of his sniffers on here cream their panties.

I wish the trade was the lesser of DET/CHI and LAL if the Raptors don't convey the pick and the better if they do. That the Spurs don't at least trade away the 31st pick for nothing.

RGMers think Masai got fleeced. I can't disagree more.

No disrespect, but I think you're overthinking this some. With the full context of the BOS trade too, I like having ~18 & ~20, which can be combined to move up to 10-12 range easier than ~18 & ~32.

I think overthinking it is assuming the Spurs will be able to move up and putting that as the return. The Spurs didn't get the 12th pick for White, Young and Eubanks and the Detroit second. They didn't even get the 18th and 20th picks. They got conditional picks that can fall within a range that's not very clearly defined. Considering both teams got better from the trade, it's not safe to assume the picks will trend toward their upside.

So are the spurs actually getting a frp for thaddeus or not?!

As long as Toronto makes the playoffs, then yes

[timvp]

Most likely.

But there's also a chance that the Spurs gave away the #31 pick for nothing of value, tbh

[Chinook]

They're getting a protected pick for Young and the Detroit second.

stay in that 6th spot tor!

[CGD]

Most likely.

Very strong chance TOR is making the playoffs this year though, so looking like a pick in the 18-22 range (20th if season ended right now). They've been playing great of late beating good teams. BOS and BKY after today seem like the only real threats to push them out of 6th in the East (though ATL at 10 looms). Also, with as crappy as the West is this year, they could get knocked out in the play-in and still convey this year.

[slick'81]

Damn so we could have 3 frp in 22!?

[TD 21]

I don't get the complaints. The odds are clearly on the Spurs side of moving up 12ish spots and it was worth it for the cost.

If the Raptors move back into the play-in, it'll more than likely be as a 7 or 8 seed vs the Hornets or Hawks, either of whom they'd likely beat.

Negative. Picks 1-14 go to teams that don't make the playoffs regardless of record.

…one of the next two years.

[CGD]

Negative. Picks 1-14 go to teams that don't make the playoffs regardless of record.

Ah, didn't know how that worked in light of the play in. Thanks. I remain optimistic on this year -- Nets will likely jump up from 8, but TOR has been playing really well of late beating good teams along the way. Neither CHA or ATL moved the needle today, though BOS did.

Then there is always next year when protections are 1-13 suggesting a conference imbalance could come into play then.

Agreed

Brian Wright seems to like to leave loopholes where the Spurs can get screwed if the stars align

More than likely Toronto makes the playoffs and we get a 1st round pick from them. Who would have believed that the spurs would be sitting on 3 possible first round picks? Whomever was making the decisions this trade season probably wasn't making them the last several seasons and the team benefitted from it tremendously. Yeah !!! We did good !
Lets see what the buyout season holds and then on to the draft with our 3 picks.

[offset formation]

Pull your head out of your ass. This is about assets and ending contracts, Dragic probably won’t be on the roster for more than a few days. He’s being bought out.

Since this trade was unequal player wise, when we cut Dragic, we’ll also have two roster spots open. This is how we picked up KBD 2 years ago.

Ca with PT now?

[offset formation]

stay in that 6th spot tor!

gotta watch out for Atlanta and Charlotte both playing better.

[slick'81]

yea, but im all in on 3 frp's in 2022!

[exstatic]

Maybe. We’re down to one open spot now, once Goran is bought out, because of the 2 for 1 the other way by Boston.

It would depend on if any promising but underused young players drop between the cracks in the fallout from the trade deadline, and again at the playoff roster deadline when contenders sign buyouts. That’s how we got KBD two years ago.

We have Cacok under control for the rest of this year and next year by 2Way deal. If there are no likely waiver candidates, they may convert Cacoks contract, wait until this summer to do it, or let him roll into next year on a 2 way. It just depends on what else happens. There’s a lot of moving parts.
