If you ever want to do business with the Lakers in the future -- which might happen when/if they are a tax payer.
Jonas isn't garnering a 1st in the current climate

When have we done business with them in the past? They dont deal with us anyway....there's zero cost there..
Sure there is.
No there's not...they wouldn't make a serious offer for nephew...they don't deal with us if theres any way around it....and if by chance they find there selves in a tax paying position in the future and need to unload something attractive, they aren't doing that with us if there's any other team out there with similar space....and if there's no team except us with space....it won't matter what we did with AR because they arent goung to Is sabotage themselves over spilt milk..
troll signings aren't really how things are done in the NBA.
Unlike your short responses, its not a Troll signing... We should want AR as a player... we also know we arent getting him because LA would have matched....so make them put there cards on the table... there's literally zero downside unless we have a plan in place to use our cap space elsewhere.... if we do then this looks better..
Maybe we don't want him as a player.
Maybe the plan is wait to see if something better comes along or just not spend the money this year on non-home run deals per orders from ownership.
Normally I’d agree, but NOLA has no need to rush moving him, and they might feel they can squeeze a late FRP out of a contending team at the trade deadline. Even if they’re wrong, they have no reason to trade him for just a couple SRP’s right now.
We should. He's on the same timeline as our young guys and would be the 2nd best player on our team Day 1. Much better fit than Herro... and if we didnt spend on 'orders from ownership ' then we have a bigger problem than the one we've been discussing.
Great.
But it doesn't matter now.
That's fine too...they simply won't be trading him anytime soon and will lose him for nothing... nobody is paying a 1st unless nola takes back bad longer-term salary.
It matters...there's just nothing that can be done at this point..
None of our opinions matter. The FO was always going to do what it was going to do regardless of what posters say on ST
that’s not the reason people come here
I mean you can about it here for years to come. That is something.
We all ...or get entertained here....nobody is under the delusion that anything we say here makes a difference....unless its you...
Sure. I just don't know how much effort needs to be expended on what one thinks should've happened when there are still so many possibilities for the coming season.
If you think a lot of effort should be expended on what didn't happen, no one here has or will stop you. That's part of the reason you come here.
You're the one that brought it up....
Absolutely. There's nothing to suggest I thought what I said mattered when it comes to things that didn't happen and can't now.
I think the whole free agency period has been the Spurs essentially admitting that Vic is weird and we don't know the best fit around him. He's so unique that there's not really a template for what player types will best fit, so the Spurs have a bunch of type variety to assess before splashing assets for upgrades.
For instance, will he work best with a gunner PG like Graham, or a steady option like Tre - If you know, you can make a clearer decision on Collier vs Proctor in the draft (if they're in the same talent tier).
Does he fit best next to Bassey or Mamu: If Bassey, Clingon might make sense with the Toronto pick. If you just want as much shooting around Vic as possible and you want to use Vic's finishing in the dunker spot, then it doesn't - and you keep Zach.
We don't have a comparison of elite players with those traits, but that wasn't going to be possible.
I'd have loved the AR / Brook moves because I think they're good players who'd fit and be worthy of their contracts, but that's passed.

Free agent Lonnie Walker has agreed to a one year deal with the Brooklyn Nets, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul and agent Lucas Newton tell ESPN
Been seeing some Twitter noise regarding Dame to Toronto for Scottie Barnes + draft picks. Just the kind of splash Masai loves to make. Doubt it happens, but would suck for our pick next year tbh.
you talking pathetic , front office should only look at Spurs interest without thinking of what the Lakers would feel about a free agent offer we give that we have every legitimation to give, if Lakers would trade with us in the future has nothing to do if we snatched Reaves or not...
Spurs just help a rival team not to pay big tax bill or to keep a high level player at a bargin price, if you justifies that you are a homer of front office
I'm just explaining what I believe is their thinking, It's not a big deal.
