Official 2022 NBA Free Agency Thread

[CGD]

Oh I think Ayton is definitely a target, I just don't think he is going to play in San Antonio cause I don't they they will be the only team offering a max or near max.

I'd be happy with Bamba or even gasp...taking a chance on Bagley who I don't think will get any sizable money deals due to how bad his reputation is, which I put the blame squarely on Sacramento.

I think Bamba on something like a 4 for 70 or Bagley on a 3 for 35 would be a nice get for the Spurs. Although I think a team could off Bamba stupid money off his handful of actual unicorn games when he hit 3's and defended the rim well.

With Duren going to DET, I actually think Spurs may be one of the few cap space teams available with legit interest. Not OKC. Unclear where Portland stands after Grant deal. The greater threat, for those favoring a trade, is a S&T team.

Detroit allegedly still has 44 in cap room, more than SA, but they can’t offer Ayton anymore money than SA

[Leetonidas]

At least Ayton is used to hot weather?

[Ice009]

The glass half full approach to Ayton is the same as John Collins: if they get popped for juicing again it's a 55 game suspension, which makes it very easy to tank that season

Who got popped for juicing?

[Russ]

The Spurs need to have two principles in free agency:

(1) Take on bad contracts;

(2) Get draft picks (or maybe young upside players) in return.

That's it.

And they just got Duren.

You may be right.
I'm of the opinion that it's time to start developing what they have and bring in some young vets to start leapfrogging the process a bit.

Both Ayton and John Collins have served 25 game suspensions in their career for performance enhancing juice.

One name I'm hearing Spurs gonna be after in free agency is TJ Warren

That would be a great pick up if we could get him. It really does suck bc we have such a great roster for a superstar if we did sign him. The only ing problem is we don’t have a superstar . Whelp 10th seed here we come again

[RC_Drunkford]

I‘m trying to figure out who gets traded because as of know we got 15 players under contract. There is no open roster spot

[cutewizard]

Just found this, ....was wondering if this is legit news......

And a big, with rim protection if you can. Unless you want to go with Poetl, Collins, Landale and Sochan inside all the year.

There's no way the spurs will not take a big man but it could be for cheap too.

Wow, I didn't know. I haven't followed the NBA that closely the past few years (just the Spurs mainly).

[cd98]

Do we want a center to be the highest paid player on the roster in today’s game?

[Atl Spur]

Poodle is good enough

[RC_Drunkford]

Jake Fischer on John Collins: „

The Spurs definitely are doing intel on John, like, I know that they’re calling around asking about him.“

I like that. Hope they trade for him without trading DJ. His trade value will never be this low again

[Dejounte]

Have John Collins become the starting center tbh

Murray
Vassell
Keldon
Sochan
JCollins

a lot of upside to that lineup

Collins sucks at Center tbh. Sochan would have to play C, but that would work. Can you imagine a Sochan/Collins pick & roll? JC is the best roll man in the NBA and Sochan is a walking mismatch, that would be unstoppable

a lot of interchangeable parts. It would confuse the out of opposing teams. I’m ready for some fun basketball.

that line up you proposed would also be an incredible small ball line up. They could guard smaller players and protect the rim on defense and play big on the other end, outrebound opponents and still play above the rim.

[T Park]

The spurs imo have leverage in any Collins trade. The hawks have signaled they don’t want him. Collins now doesn’t wsnt to be there. Perfect time to unload your guards, which in theory the hawks need to replace guys like Delon Wright and Lou Williams

Lonnie to Atlanta. He’s not a bad fit there at all.

Lonnie S&T, plus Richardson, maybe a future pick works most likely.

[Degoat]

Would really like for the spurs to target Mo Bamba in free agency.

Jakob/ZC
Doug/Sochan
KJ/Richardson/Branham
Dev/Primo
DJ/Tre/Blake

2 way- Barlowe

Add- Mo Bamba, other pieces traded into cap space.

Gone- Lonnie, Langford, Landale, Bates diop.
