No self-respecting southerner uses instant news.
Bertans and #10 for Keldon Jonhson and #33? Do yall think Mavs go for that?
If not, Waht about Bertans and #10 for Keldon, #33 and the Pelicans pick for next year? That's the absolute most I would give if I'm the Spurs.
That's dumb to say. Better to say nothing about the current players.
If someone came to them with a great trade package they really like then they are not going to make that trade?
I don't think the Spurs will ever trade a key player, fan favorite (arguable though based on ST posts) to a Western Conference rival, much less an interstate one.
What do we consider "key"? I like Keldon but he just doesn't seem to be a winning player. Many key flaws in his game. Shaky 3 pt shooting, bad defense and overall just doesn't seem to have a feel for the game.
Broadly speaking, I think a key cog would be anybody on a team who averages over 24 MPG for one or several seasons. KJ's career average is right at 30.
That's not even tying into the cultural and hierarchical roots Keldon took on this prior season.
Not claiming that Wembenyama will be a magical panacea for all of the Spurs and KJs ills. However, expect there to be a fair few of these flaws to be somewhat mitigated
and KJs strengths to really shine next season as a result of the #1 pick.
Mr Body has some in here falling for his analysis(Like Ex) and has many sold on Black. Not I
No shot, no burst Black is going to be a bust. He and Miller are the busts in the top ten. Not Scoot or Amen.
Hearing Dallas and Utah are working out a deal for #10. Bert to Utah, not sure the return for Dallas maybe #29. I wonder how high Utah could get packaging picks #9 and #10…

Spurs want to trade up
Trying to figure what others are doing is spurs related
Probably the 16 from Utah.
Revisiting timvps Draft Time articles from last year also leads to some interesting speculation and possibly trends:
https://www.spurstalk.com/spurs-draf...s-discussions/
Following the NBA combine, I heard a lot about how impressed the Spurs were about Branham after talking to him. In the post-combine Big Board, I had Branham 11th and wrote the following:“Last year, Scottie Barnes and Joshua Primo were the two players who reportedly interviewed the best at the combine. This year, Branham was one of the two players who got rave reviews for his interviews.”“Wesley had a workout in San Antonio and his representatives are saying that the Spurs expressed a lot of interest in their client. It’s impossible to know how much truth there is in that but he’s definitely someone I could imagine the Spurs picking at 20 or 25.”
That group workout is already legendary. It consisted of Wesley, Branham, Dyson Daniels, Wendell Moore, Ryan Rollins and Bryce McGowens. The prospects played three-on-three and the matches were shockingly intense, I was told. In fact, I was told a couple of the players had to be separated a few times.
Of the six players, Wesley was supposedly the best of the bunch. No one could stay in front of him, not even the defense-first prospects in Daniels (who was picked eighth in the draft) and Moore (who went 26th). Following that group workout, Wesley’s agency was very confident that the Spurs were supremely interested in their client — and told me as much.
Brian Wright said that Wesley was within the top 20 on the Spurs front office’s board. He was 18th on our Big Board — so, again, that fits.One discussion I had stands out because the scout made the great point that the Spurs managed to get three first round prospects that are on three separate development tracks. Sochan is on the fast track and should be ready to help right away. Branham is on the intermediate track. He’ll need some seasoning but he won’t require more than a half-season in the G League. That leaves Wesley, who legitimately needs a lot of seasoning and a lot of developmental work. A season or a season and a half in the G League is likely on the menu for him.
The Spurs will have three first round draft picks on the roster next season but there shouldn’t be much overlap if you look at each player and his developmental track. Yes, Branham and Wesley are essentially the same size but they’ll be able to develop concurrently due to where they are on their learning curves.
Great finds, thanks
Reports on Twitter that Micic is in OKC attempting to resolve his situation, either with a deal for next year or a trade involving his rights
Probably teams like Phoenix, Miami, Lakers, could use a guy like that.
He could absolutely be a target for us.
You think they'd go get a 29 year old rookie who hasn't played a lick of NBA ball who will probably cost a 1st round pick?
Probably not, but it would depend on the protection of the pick wouldn't it?
If it's top 25 protected that converts to 2 seconds then it seems a reasonable exchange. If he contributes to a historic turnaround it would be worth it
Not if the cost is a 1st rd pick...but, if it were a couple of future 2nd's... absolutely...
If we want a backup who will get obliterated on defense, sure.
His offensive skill set more than makes up for it especially considering that we would have defenders behind him.
