And again, this isn't 2K. Spurs will be wery cautious with their assets. One FRP + 33 (and eventually 44) is all I can see them be ready to give to trade up in the 20s. And I actually believe they won't trade up at all.
It's Wemby Eve

spurs could be hoping that's what happens where a lottery talent they like falls into the 20's making it easier to trade up without overpaying or losing key assets
Naturally. Don’t think he’ll fall far enough for us to make a move anyways, but I’m not surprised.
I really think Coulibaly would be a mistake.
There is a bit of smoke coming out that Spurs could get pick 10 from Dallas in exchange for cap space so they can sign Draymond....
where are you hearing that?
Bring Bertans home tbh
10th pick + Bertans for CHA pick + 33rd Pick this year. Who says no tbh.
I suspect there is a “ off” at ude toward spurs right now.
Bill Simmons mused about this on his podcast, but only as an example of what Dallas could do if Green signaled he’d sign there. Unless it was presented elsewhere, it was a pure example of how they could make the space.
teams who need to deal will make deals
did the league have a off at ude with the Cavs when they won the lottery in 3 out of 4 years and then were able to sign LeBron James back? nah, the cavs were still able to make trades, land kevin love, etc
id be good with something like that tbh
but would keep 33 and give them 44 and 1-2 additional future seconds
bert isnt an expiring deal. i doubt he exercises his ETO. 2 years of a guy making north of about 1.5x full MLE money and hasnt been a serious rotation player for two years now... not to be taken lightly

Yeah, I’m talking about this draft specifically. Have no doubt they will deal again, even as soon as this summer.
nah, even this draft
if a team thinks they'll benefit from making a deal, they're not going to turn away a trade partner who is willing to tango unless they have a better partner
Dallas needs immediate contributors.
think the idea here is they use that cap space from dumping bertans to go get Draymond or somethin
The 10 is worth more than just cap space tho.
I think I read somewhere that although the final year of Bertans' contract has a PO, it is only partially guaranteed (~$5M). Still not ideal, but it makes it a lot easier to swallow if true.
This is a big W for Indiana, IMO. They basically trade picks this year they didn’t need and roll them forward next year with upside to SIGNIFICANTLY be improved. The pick they are getting back could be as high as #2 (though very unlikely). There is a decent path to it being a lotto pick, and the EV is probably somewhere around the LAC slot this year at #20.
IMO this is a solid trade by both teams.
thats why they'd also be getting back the 24 charlotte pick + scraps
ah, thats true
theres basically no upside to the pick. they get the "least favorable" of 4 different potential picks, including OKC and LAC
and next year's draft is going to be much much worse than this one. you'd probably want this year's 29th overall pick over next years 23rd overall pick or whatever
in the meantime they also gave up 32 this year which is also probably better than some of next year's late first rounders
indy lost value in this because they had a surplus of picks and didnt want to make all the selections. lesson to be learned for the spurs if they end up getting 3 FRPs in 2024 and 2025 and dont want to use them all. all the more reason to give up some of those picks to get an extra selection this year
The “least favorable” can still be as high as #2 the way the protections are. There is considerable upside versus picking #29 (especially when you already have two FRPs you’ll have already made)
This is an incredibly stupid thing people keep saying. Next year’s draft doesn’t have Wemby - but trying to say today that it will be weaker than this year’s is just plain dumb. After Wemby, Scoot and the Thompsons, none of the top players in this draft were high on the radar - they emerged during the season, just like they do every year.and next year's draft is going to be much much worse than this one. you'd probably want this year's 29th overall pick over next years 23rd overall pick or whatever
Another pick they didn’t want that you’re projecting your imaginary crystal ball on. And they still got #40 back - which they may value higher than #32 because they might be able to get #40 into a two-way whereas they couldn’t with #32in the meantime they also gave up 32 this year which is also probably better than some of next year's late first rounders
There are lessons to be learned from having a glut of picks, but this is far from an L from IND, unless you base it on the ignorant premise that every range in next year’s draft will be worse than this year’s (which requires a crystal ball that you don’t have)indy lost value in this because they had a surplus of picks and didnt want to make all the selections. lesson to be learned for the spurs if they end up getting 3 FRPs in 2024 and 2025 and dont want to use them all. all the more reason to give up some of those picks to get an extra selection this year
