According some Primo will grow 2-3 more inches!! It’s going to be luck in the draft or we consolidate assets for one in a trade. Keldon needs to play the 3 though. MoLovin should be salary dumped with a couple of seconds.
The big gaping hole in our lineup. How do we solve it? I'm having a really hard time thinking of plausible options for next season.
What are you preferred names? Post them here. Whether it is a free agent, a trade target or a draft prospect.

I think we should target 2 players for the 4. One should be a FA or trade target (preferably on a 3 year deal or less). The other should be from the draft. It's hard to say who until we know the draft position but, we all know the names at the top if we get a fortuitous selection but, if we don't, someone like Eason, PBJ, or Jovic would be a good pickup to work in off the bench and develop while our trade target starts for a couple years.
Been over most of this in other threads, but here's the names I see as most likely to be attainable for what I suspect the Spurs could deem expendable . . .
Collins: For Spurs 1st, either Raptors/Celtics 1st, Richardson
Washington: With Jones and Hornets 1st for Poeltl, either Raptors/Celtics 1st
Hachimura: For Spurs 1st
Murray: Unless team picking at 5 or 6 prefers Poeltl, would require Hornets trade, with Washington rerouted along with Spurs 1st and either Raptors/Celtics 1st.
Tari Eason, Jeremy Sochan, or EJ Liddell will be our 1st Pick in this year’s draft.
Pretty confident in that.
The free agent market is pretty poor this year for PFs. Maybe take a look at Jalen Smith since he'll be a UFA. Kyle Anderson maybe?![]()
I hear LaMarcus Aldridge is a free agent.
Also we joke about it but I bet the Spurs are seriously interested in bringing Fat head back unfortunately.
Draft one and just develop him. I don't see an big trades or FA signings - don't see spending a lot of money. We've also been seeing those sets with Landale as a PF that will continue to be a stopgap next year.
I'm hoping for that too... I even think we might get two of them, either Eason or Sochan with the first (provided we don't luck into the top 4), and Liddell (with the Raptors pick) might be doable.
davis "future all-star" bertans tbh![]()
A chance to beat this drum again..
If our pick falls outside the top 4 (more than likely), I’d be happy to offer it to Charlotte in exchange for Kai Jones.
They already have Miles Bridges(FA), P.J Washington (1 year left) and JT Thor (he was the one getting the Big Club call ups) to play the 4 and probably consider Kai more of a 5 anyhow.

I’d argue he has as much talent as anybody in this draft. Turned 21 in January…
A top 10 pick for Kai Jones.... no thank you... maybe our Lakers 2nd but no more than that..
Eason is so much better and it’s not close.
That’s giving too much. I have no issue with a late 1st(our last pick) and future 2nd but there’s no reason to give up our top 1st.
That Duke PF would be nice but I guess he is gone before Spurs pick so
Predicted this two months or so ago. It's gonna happen tbh.
The PF and SF position is just so weak in this draft
I’m not sure I understand. Why would Charlotte be interested in trading him for a second rounder? They gave up a future first to grab him…
So after a year of solid G-League play, you think he’s actually hurt his value??
Chris Boucher and Jalen Smith are the only UFAs I think look interesting. They’re younger and could grow with this you g team. The draft and free agent class this year doesn’t look great. I look forward to see what the Spurs do.
I like Eason. Not sure what data you’re using to suggest that though. He was certainly better statistically in his 2nd year at LSU compared to Kai’s at Texas. Weird thing is, Eason is only 4 months younger…
Who do you think objectively has more upside?
more likely to fill the power bottom position first tbh
They probably wouldn't but, we shouldn't offer more unless there's more coming back...
Boucher if the contract is right would be fine for me.
I think Collins is the ideal. I think we are stockpiling 1st to trade them in for something, and I think the spurs are hoping Collins is the something.
via trade:
John Collins - best fit in my opinion, although Spurs don't seem interested
Jerami Grant - great fit, wants close to max money on his next contract, hard pass
RFA:
Miles Bridges - too small, but can do everything that we need and averages 0.8 blocks, would be a nice fit
Jalen Smith - promising, but not starter material yet if you ask me
Draft:
Banchero - probably gone when we are picking
Smith - "
Murray - "
Eason - needs development
the problem is we need somebody who's a very complete player. Good rebounder, can guard big forwards, secondary shotblocker, reliable 3-point shooter, fits into a high pace transition offense.
I really don't see how they will fix this and totally expect Keldon to start at PF or them getting Kyle Anderson back. I just hope for the best tbh
