Austin Reaves is a good player, value is inflated by a lot though. I think he is at least ATL Bogdan. As long as it does not prevent us from being players in future free agency, I am fine with making a run at him. Restricted free agency with Arenas provision makes this an easy match for LAL though. I think they already have a better idea than fans on what LAL would do, they won't freeze up their cap for a low chance to get him.
on the same lvl as Ja Morant, DeMar DeRozan, Pascal Siakam, CJ McCollum, Dejounte Murray, Paolo Banchero and Mikal Bridges
proof?
half of his 2P's are selfcreated
on the same lvl as RJ Barrett, OG Anunoby, Bojan Bogdanović and Jerami Grant
bull .
65.7% at the rim and 49.2 FG% on drives
Spurs had problems with spacing
Wow he must be as good as all those guys combined.
he also has a better ft% than shaq and 3pt% than kobe
The obsession for Magette was somethingHe was THE missing piece, DAT swingman. Spurs NEEDED that guy.
But that's the game.
Modify by removing.
I'm fine with paying Reaves and I don't attribute much of his success to lebron. I'm also fine with spending money on 1 year guys and punting to next summer. The thing thats most intriguing to me right now is how numerous the paths this team can take that are legitimate. In the past, there we're really only 2 or 3 ways the team could go, but now there are several more than that. It's a lot to take in, but it's fun to consider.
Reading that Max Struss is going to get paid and there's a bug demand for shooters. With that being said is there more value than we think for McDermott. As much as I like him on the tram as a vet, he might be able to net us something good for a contending team.
Max is going to be a good pickup for someone at a reasonable price for what he brings. McDermott would bring plenty of interest, but I dont think we move him.
If you figure Victor, Keldon and Jeremy each are going to play about 30 minutes a game, Doug would appear to be the odd man out. It might make sense to move him to a situation where he can get playing time.
I'd love to have him as a vet around our young guys. But I could see him being moved. He's got lots of value as a shooter and expiring contract. If not now probably by trade deadline when teams are making pushes in the playoffs.
Even if the Spurs do something moderately stupid contract-wise (which I don't believe they will), they have enough assets to get out from under it. Barring a megatrade for a superstar that depletes them of all their future draft capital, I don't see how they can really screw up this off season. They have a lot of mulligans. That said, they still have to get up to the floor so they will do something.
Taking Hayward's expiring and removing next year's protections and getting some more assets back doesn't seem like a bad move. The Spurs were always reported to like Kai Jones and he's been displaced in the lineup by Mark Williams. Worst case, they don't pick up his option after next season and then clear the books again. And/or they dump Hayward on a contender for more assets at the deadline. Hayward could actually help this team for the 12 games during the season that he's healthy. Also, just imagine how much fun Pop would have with a MAGA supporter on the team. Team dinners would be so much more y.
I don’t think the Hornets have any interest in moving Hayward, let alone attaching assets to do so. He was quite good for them
I would get together with KBD's agent, and announce that he will sign one of two contracts on the last day before the season: 1 yr/$5M or 1 yr/$30M, and that we will meet the salary floor by the deadline, and cannot be hung out to dry by a last minute trade falling through. I think that may sufficiently motivate any teams that need to clear second apron room to come to the table in good faith. It keeps the cap rental door open until the last second, almost literally.
I m hoping we do something similar with Philly and Tobias Harris. I feel he had lots of mileage left in him and he can be like a diaw. But last I heard Philly was asking a lot for him.

I've always considered Tobias to be overpaid since he exited his rookie deal, but the thing that freaks me out the most is the amount of times he's been traded. He was traded at 20, in his second season, and also at ages 23,25, and 26. That just kind of raises alarm bells with me that nobody wants to keep this guy.
He was very 50 games played for $30M for them. They were shopping him last year because he can't stay healthy, and that doesn't appear to have changed.
hayward was always a spurs killer but he'd be even more of a spur killer if he was actually a spur.
Hayward only has one more year and the Hornets don't seem to be in bad shape salary-wise.
The gargantuan one-year deals like Harris has seem to be on the move to take on longer bad salaries. Not sure Philly would do that, but it doesn't seem like he's a strict salary dump candidate, but things can change.
But apparently he's a terrific locker room guy
So terrific that he keeps getting traded?
lol bringing up people the spurs got rid of
You can like your favorite player. That’s fine. I’m not here to change your mind on who your favorite player is. Spurstalk used to like actual good players and hofs. But 5 years after they retire and fans lose all standards. KJ sucks for the team and won’t be on the team in 3 years. He has no place on our team. Too small and dumb to defend anybody at any position never mind the SF, doesn’t create for others, and isn’t as good a SG prospect as Vassell.
As a person KJ is great. His heart is great, his passion for the game is evident and amazing, his hustle and love for the game is beyond reproach, it’s just a shame that he isn’t talented. I will say though, if we pay him like a 7th man on the rotation then I am fine with it. But if KJ is your 3rd highest paid player or getting paid 20 million a year to be the 5th option off the bench then we aren’t competing for
Harden demanding trade out of Philly.
Trade scenarios? Which contender would even want him?
Clippers?
