Sounds like a great deal but can someone explain it to me and why it’s such a great deal.

Four SRPs for a possible swap.
Hmm... I'm not a huge fan of swaps as the main source of value in a trade. It's way too easy to end up with nothing. It has value in that the Spurs can offer an improved 2030 pick in a future trade. Depending on the timing of that trade, it could add a ton of value. It could also work out really well. Just count me as a person who'd prefer a protected first over an unprotected swap.
That said, this was basically free money for Wright. You can't argue with that, and Bullock is a decent player who could have resale value ala Richardson. I hope they weren't the team that offered more than one second (because again, they may well not end up with a pick), but if they are now willing to deal picks in bunches to facilitate trades, it'll help them upgrade their roster over the next few years.

Yeah, which is why I'm not as big of a fan of this trade. It's still fine if the Spurs got to pick the seconds, but it's not great.
Agree. It's kind of fool's gold and we haven't seen many of them actually work out across the league afaik. But the 2029 and 2030 swaps are so far out the Boston team could be bad or mediocre.
Wemby will be 26 tbh.
7 years from now? GREAT!
Victor will be like 26 and peaking with tons of salary around him and Spurs get the option to swap into better positioning to get higher talent to help Vic? That's ideal.
Plus as other said, 7 years is a long time to let Luka rise and fall, so the value might be better then.
Slick deal all around assuming true.
Do you... Invest?
You know, play the futures, or are you a microwave baby, always wanting things now?
It doesn't matter. You do you.
Did the waive Stevenson? The consensus seemed to be that they would, but hadn’t heard that it went down yet.
Spurs gave up 4 seconds in the deal too I think. Even if so, don’t mind consolidation of 2nds for a legit swing at a first round upgrade
That's not the point of me laughing numbnuts. I'm just laughing at the year because 2030 in my head seems like fake year.
Tough day at work today sweetie?
Dallas has done really well this offseason. I don't think their rookies will be standouts, but they'll help a more defensive gameplan. I didn't like Grant Williams here at all, but he's a nice pickup for the Mavs.
Did we really give up four picks for a trade that helps these teams out?
I have a feeling this is all leading to a Fournier trade lol
Yeah, if the Spurs gave up four seconds for this trade its not as much of a homerun as I thought. Still a low-risk/high reward deal when you consider Bullock should be able to fetch multiple picks at the trade deadline.
Spurs have too many 2nds. Sure it’s a lot to give up 4 for nothing guaranteed back, but between Bullock being able to fetch some back and the fact all you want is a shot at something isn’t the first round with how insanely hard its been to rent cap space for anything valuable let alone a decent player who is expiring? This is the type of low risk, high reward creative risk taking I like to see.
Even if they end up with nothing on the swap it was worth a dart throw and likely only end up out 2 2nds for the opportunity to move up in the first round
Assuming we’re the ones sending all four SRPs, this goes from a grand slam to a 2-run homer tbh…still a no brainer IMO, especially considering the possibility we can end up flipping Bullock for another couple of SRPs at the deadline.
Why the are people crying about losing seconds? Jesus Christ
Spurs have what 20 second round picks between now and 2030? Then they will probably get 2 back this year from trading Bullock or someone else so I think it’s fine to gamble on a pick swap.
Spurs easily replenish that treasure chest of two's with bullock![]()
First thing I think of is that Bullock as a minutes eating guy makes Keldon available in a Lillard trade.
Far fetched I know, but I wasn't high on including Keldon in a trade for lillard because of a lack of proven SFs who could play
Either
1) people believe the Spurs could have drafted nice players with those seconds
or
2) they could have traded those seconds for something better
anyone who believes either of these are dumb tbh
Imagine in 2030 coming off a championship parade and getting the first overall pick on the next draft.
Im not sure who the player is but, I agree that this is a prelude to another trade.
