I believe he will not be in a Spurs uni past the day his contract ends, or, they get an offer of a positive asset for him, whichever comes first.
Since it would seem Sniffer as well as realist could have common ground that the Highest Paid Spur is not going to be on any future Spurs Championship teams....
Trade for __?
Let him continue to take minutes away from developing players this year then give him a cushy buyout 1/2 way thru next year, the contracts final year?
Be drinking buddies with Pop. Give him another contract, Patty Mills style at 12:01 a.m. the minute it's available?
Join Bryn Bryn, Matty Bonner, Michael Finley and a host of others who enjoyed being Pops Pets thus getting at least 4 years?
Miraculously land Wama in the draft and keep Dougie for any and all of the above reasons? He rings in 2026 and compares notes over drinks with BonBon?

I'd only trade McDermott in a deal that brings back a first unless he asks to be traded and there's an offer for positive value out there. I have no interest in the team picking up a bunch of dead salary, so I wouldn't want him swapped for a contract like Robinson.
That said, there's no reason to dump him now, or even after next year. It'll depend on where the team is. Depending on the draft and development, they might well take a win-now posture in 2024 and want to keep him. Realistically, though, I do think the team will end up not being a fit for what Doug can still do by then and will probably trade him before that unless he loves SA. It doesn't hurt that as good as some of the things he does are, he still doesn't stop them from losing games at all.
I say we trade him to the lakers for Patrick Beverly (about even salaries) and then we flip Beverly to a team that needs a pg worse than us, possibly for a player(s) or a player and a pick. Chicago comes to mind. Their pg's always get injured.
If we can't flip him (although I think we could), he's better than what we currently have and he's an expiring contract on top of that. I would not cut him just to release him. That's just a waste of salary. McNuggets isn't worth a first so lets see what we can really get for him since he's not exactly valued in this town.
I know easier said than done but it's something to think about.
Patrick Beverly is certifiably crazy, and will never wear a Spurs uniform.I say we trade him to the lakers for Patrick Beverly (about even salaries) and then we flip Beverly to a team that needs a pg worse than us, possibly for a player(s) or a player and a pick.

Yeah Beverly is crazy for co co puffs, but my trade would ideally flip him for someone else , but the worse case is that we lose one year of paying McNuggets and we cut Beverly. Saves us 13 million in salary next year. Not too bad for a player that's not appreciated here. You might get a 2nd straight up for McNuggets but that's not really that much.
He's having a good year so far, so I think he stays for a bit.
Doug is perfect for the Spurs. Run him till he boosts his value and see if you can dump him for trade capital at the desperate deadline. if not, you have a tank commander in the meantime which could help your own draft capital increase in value.
and Doug is prob a quality individual while he's here who has no problem keeping his pants on
Keeping our best player
Who knows with these dumb fcks in charge
Hes straight trash
He’s not trash, but he has no business in a rebuild. He’d be a good bench piece on a contender. He’s JJ Re , with worse luck in teams played for.
Tank Commander Doug "3 Fresh" McDermott.
por vida
#LockHimUp
He makes the team slightly better. Ship his ass out of here!
His net rating for the season is negative 9. He has the worst dRtg of any rotation player at 124. He’s our tank commander.
Contrary, he and Pop get super jacked up with the prospect of Ws, esp playing another tanker.
Look at these shooting stats in 5 very costly wins.
FGs / treys
6-11 4-5 Houston
5-8 3-5 Miami
3-7 3-5 Houston again
3-6 0-2 Cleveland, while not tanking a very costly 112-111 game that could and should have easily been an L in pursuit of Wama
8-16 7-14! Minny.
Several other W's he shot well in.
McForbesbot has been very detrimental to the Tank!
So why is he here?
Yes has contributed to L's too. Good part of why he is untradeable.
Yet he all fired up and right there with Grandpa pounding the scorers table going balls out for the Ws.
This is costly!

Again, why is he here?
If it's to build up interest for the deadline, pretty sure other teams know exactly what McForbesbot can and cannot do. Doubt they are waiting.
Took 23 minutes away tonight vs Knicks and went 5-7 / 2-3 in what was damn near a win.
Rather then Sochan and the Spurs tanking, i think those last 2 out of bounds plays were just 2 more of Grandpas Specials in a long history of lame out of bounds calls.
Why - is - he - here?
Because nothing happens until deadline day. It was freakishly early last year when Boston grabbed Derrick in January, but they determined who they wanted, and pulled the trigger. It paid off for them with a Finals appearance. Most teams aren’t that confident or sure of what their needs are. By the deadline,you have contenders and battlers for position that have a shopping list. Doug would be a far better piece on a contender with some bench defensive chops that can cover for him.
arent you the same tool who posted the "who isn't tanking" so now you want to complain that a middling veteran sucks? pick a lane dude. I want 5 dougs on my tank team.
Highest paid Spur.
Taking minutes from developers.
Is *helping* win games, which is bad for Wama pursuit.
Are you just irritable and cranky or did you have a legit question?
Which is Feb 9th.
Ok if this is all leading up to a trade piece then great. So much positivity going into this season as it seems there was unity of direction that a fully embraced rebuild was the growth plan.
If Dougie ends up being another one of Pops Pets who steals minutes up until he's bought out or his bloated contract just runs out.....
Wait, I know it's just a schtick, but are we now complaining that the highest paid Spur is good or bad?
He doesn't take minutes from them, but he provides great spacing for them to operate with the ball and develop.
Nah, objective stats say he doesn't affect winning games.
1. You'll need to translate. I can decipher most Sniffer language but not all.
2. So why aren't other teams clamoring for McD in a trade?
3. You points 2 and 3 contradict each other.
Already posted the stats in 5 wins Dougie most certainly contributed to. Now another near miss vs the Knicks.
It feels like there should be some interest from teams that need shooting, such as Denver, but Eric Gordon's also out there.
