Spurs Front Office "Extremely Busy" After Kyrie Irving Asks For Trade

[DPG21920]

LA very much can still trade with SA. They may only want to give up one pick and can cut BKY out and do something like WB for Doug/Richardson/Collins and a first. Still all on the table but who knows. Trades are hard obviously.

And BKY included Morris in the deal so DAL took on 40M and sent out 32 so BKY definitely got some solid tax savings (like 20M)

The Lakers never had a chance this may make them even more desperate

Now that this domino has finally fallen, the rest will start soon

[Rocalcio]

Cuban wanted a big name, but I’m not sure he’ll fit with Doncic.

[ace3g]

Markieff Morris also going to the Mavs`

Just a good.trade all around for Brooklyn imo. I think them getting positive value and saving money for that cancer is amazing.

[baseline bum]

Assuming Kyrie still leaves this summer, that 2029 pick could be huge for BKN tbh.

I would have wanted the 27 pick unprotected in case Doncic walks. Though the 29 pick should be excellent if Doncic walks also.

Agreed and I highly doubt they do a trade like this without KD telling him he is cool for rest of this season. IMO signals KD will not be moved this deadline and they re-evaluate off season.

Once news broke of Kyrie I immediately Dallas, Suns, Lakers and POR

The fact that, that was the deal imo means the lakers aren’t offering up both firsts at all. Could See Lebron forcing their hand in next few days for something because Spencer, Dorian, and 1 first is what got that deal done.

Love that Sean Marks warned teams (Lakers) that they'll move Irving quickly and he followed up, thus cutting them off.

LeBron will definitely be very pissed off at Pelinka Lakers may approach the deadline with more emotion than sense. Spurs should be there for them, waiting to help.

Spurs are still there to help - just pick up the phone lol

Especially because that pick is going to be huge if Doncic walks. And I'm not expecting Kyrie to be enough to keep Doncic around with the way he loves to tank franchises. Bet Kyrie walks to the Lakers this summer.

[Dverde]

LeBron probably back to making calls for other players to demand a trade.

The Lakers struggle between LeBron and their FO is one to watch.... I also think LA has an interest in Jak but, I'm not sure they'll part with what it'll take to get a Jak, McD, Jrich package.

[baseline bum]

Can't believe Dallas gave up so much unless Irving is ready to sign an extension right now.

Of course they're not going to if they wouldn't give up an unprotected first for Irving.

Dallas is going to ring this year.

Not a great fit and he walks to LA in the summer.

I don't know that's the case. They have to keep KD happy so they can't just value picks over everything. They got two good players and a pick which should be enough to keep KD from losing his .

If they weren't giving up their picks for Irving they're definitely not for Josh Richardson.

I doubt Brooklyn sits on that pick for long.

[Ditty]

Mavs were not winning anything meaningful with what they had right now. It’s probably a still long shot they win a le but it’s a shot.

It’s not a bad deal, I just think it means the lakers aren’t offering both picks. I think Sean Marks might have more deals up his sleeve tbh

Will still be a pretty nice trade piece if you think Cuban won't be able to put talent around Doncic. Which isn't a bad bet considering the dregs he put around Dirk at the end of his career.

Definitely think this blows up in the Mavs face. Kyrie doesn't know how not to blow up.

Bummer the spurs couldn't capitalize on this, oh well.

As I've read this thread though... I think we are all shortchanging the Laker's ability to think critically. YES... they should have to give up future unprotected FRPs to get off Westbrook and get assets... but surely they also know that they're going to be in a world of hurt around 2027 and 2029, thus aren't going to just give those up so that they can be the 7 seed. It is Laker's best interest to just roll with Westbrook for the rest of the year.
