For sure - seems like a possibility but I’m bracing for SA being the only team to send picks. If not? That’s even better
For sure. An unprotected swap seems like an overpay for just absorbing Bullocks salary, so I think we probably sent some real assets out (not fake, top 55 protected SRPs). Whether it is 2 or 4, I still like this deal a lot. 2 is obviously better, we can easily recoup those at the deadline.
I sure hope so.
ya. We DEFINITELY sent at least 2 real picks like you said. Not bs ones. 4 makes sense more in context of what Woj said, but he could be wrong? Either way Im very happy. This is the type of squeezing the juice and getting assets and being relentless that I want to see.
It’s creative to trade 2nds and known things to both accomplish salary floor goals and get swings at high upside potential picks etc…
I was cautious after that Cedi deal that they wouldn’t do anything else because it was a money saving thing vs caring about asset management. But them taking on Bullock shows it was just another good opportunity in their eyes. Sure, that’s a small thing but its speaks volumes to their mentality IMO so I like that detail
Seems like something has to give. Can we really see the team keep Bullock, Osman, McDermott, Graham, Stevens? Birch has to be a cut/trade automatically.
What's the CBA rule? A player traded alone cannot be traded with other players for a large number of days?
Why? If shoots the same 38% as last year and plays decent Defense with Wemby as his backstop, you can flip him the deadline to recoup a couple of those picks.
Not for spurs…they are an under the cap team so these guys can all be aggregated
I think it’s more players that arrive in a package can’t be traded in a repackaged different group.
According to the ESPN article, Dallas got two picks from the Spurs and Boston got two picks from Dallas.
Please be true
Makes sense.
So when you factor in the CLE 2030 SRP we got in the Cedí deal, Spurs only really gave up one SRP net. Not bad.
Wow, if true.
Gotdamm
I don't know what you do with all that mess. Trade them for Kyle Lowry, lol.
I suppose this is one way to get rid of some of these seconds Wright has been hoarding. He's the pick king.
Only gave up two of those seconds?!
glad a great deal came along early where they were able to fill that remaining space
Yeah, looks like Pelton heard the same thing I heard. But now I'm hearing the Celtics got two second rounders and a second round pick swap and Dallas only got one second round pick. I don't know who gave who what at this point. Everyone I ask has a different answer
But, honestly, from San Antonio's perspective, I don't think it matters much. Even in a "worst case" scenario where the Spurs traded away four seconds and a second round pick swap, that's still a great deal.
A couple days ago, teams like OKC and Detroit were absorbing bad contracts for a single second rounder. The Spurs waited until the other teams ran out of cap space and got a decent contract in Bullock, packaged some of their 20 second rounders and ended up with an unprotected first round pick swap. That's fantastic -- no matter the details of the second rounders, IMO.
The final second round pick details will basically determine the level of greatness of this trade.
Wemby is playing Friday but all I care about is the confirmed details of the second round picks.
Strange an unproven GM would do something for 2030, but I still like the move.

With a pick swap is it specifically tied to the Spurs 2030 First Rounder? Or can we trade that pick swap to say, the Raptors, and now the swap is associated with the Raptors pick?
Furthermore, let's say we traded away our own First Round pick in 2030 but had a completely different team's (let's say the Celtics). Do we have the option to swap the Celtics pick for the Mavs own pick?
The benefit of being in an organization that provides job security = you can do what’s best for the franchise, and not what’s best to keep your job
Spurs will likely build stepping stones as soon as future draft years become eligible for movement as much as they can, i.e. do something for 2031 next offseason.
That doesn’t help Miami at all. They need his contract off the books clean, not exchanged for ending contracts.Osman + Bullock + Graham + Birch
