I don't think NOLA would salary dump him and I don't think the Spurs would give up assets to trade for him. He's much rather getting dealt at the deadline.
Mavs receive:
- Grant Williams
- Two future second-round picks (via Celtics)
Celtics receive:
- 2024 second-round pick (via Mavs)
- 2025 second-round pick swap (via Mavs)
- 2028 second-round pick (via Mavs)
Spurs receive:
- Reggie Bullock (via Mavs)
- Unprotected 2030 first-round pick swap (via Mavs)

That would not be a valid trade, as shown. The Spurs have to send something out. They cannot just receive assets. Something is misprinted.
Trading zero second-round picks for a first-round swap is fairly impressive.
That trade isn't valid as shown.
Thats definitely wrong. Don't think Mavs have that many 2nds to trade.
Entirely possible - just looking at scenarios. If they have a chance to get out of luxury tax guaranteed that chance may not be there at deadline is all. Just have to see. I can see both arguments though.
those 3 seconds the Celtics receive are all Spurs picks
Yep, as Ex said, this didn't happen. It's both illegal and impossible. My guess if the Spurs traded some of their worse picks to Dallas. Dallas forwarded one of picks to Boston along with either another pick from SA or their 2030 second. Unless the Spurs gave Dallas 2025 pick, they can't even swap it. The Knicks should be en led to Dallas' 2025 second free and clear if their first doesn't convey. Maybe it's legal for Dallas to make a swap contingent on them keeping their second, but they could've probably traded it outright in that case.
That's what made the most sense to me.
the trade isnt on the league transaction wire yet so im not sure why nba.com would be the source for trade details at this point
Reading the tea leaves if any of the reporting is accurate... it seems a bit odd that Dallas is getting picks back from the Spurs in this deal. Unless it is some sort of "the worst of three picks" type of arrangement.
The 2024 and 2028 picks going to Boston have to be Spurs picks.
Maybe there is some weird contingency on the 2025 swap between Dallas and Boston that it just goes away if Dallas has to convey it to New York? That's probably a risk that Boston was willing to take, knowing the odds that Dallas makes the playoffs either this season or next. All of this is found money to the Celtics anyway. They weren't going to match that contract and go into the second apron. Dallas didn't have the balls to sweat them out, and hopefully it ends up costing them the first pick in the 2030 draft to the Spurs.
2024: worst of NOLA and CHI 2nd rounders owned by Spurs
2025: Toronto 2nd owned by Spurs
2028: NOLA 2nd owned by Spurs
all going to Celtics
So 3 2nd round picks for Bullock and a FRP swap? Guess that's quite decent after all.
Guess we will know in 6,5 years, but even if the Mavs are good for some reason (and we don't even swap), it's not like we lost something substantial, that will hurt us.
This are the type of shots, that may make the difference come Wembys prime.
Those are real picks and not just currency. They probably won't be great, but they're picks Boston may end up needing to fill out their roster.
Especially because Boston could be right around, or even above, the second apron for a long time if they supermax Brown.
did you expect it to be something else? Still curious where those picks the Mavs got came from. I hope those are not our picks as well
Exactly. Don't mind the spurs taking on more salary just not that ass clown's salary.
where are you seeing this?
The Spurs had worse picks or could have created worse picks in each of those years if the goal was just to give Boston some capital to use in future trades. Each of those picks will probably be in the 40s. With the new second-round exception, the Celtics may not use those to trade but rather rely on those cheap contracts to fill out a roster that'll be threatening the second apron every year. For the Spurs, they have too many firsts in 2024 and 2025 to really care about what seconds they gave up. But there's a real difference between the kind of seconds they're giving up here the kinds of seconds they and Miami traded in the other deal.
They’re all be in the mid 40s.
that's what Woj first reported when the trade was made. Now I have no clue about those Mavs 2nds
I think the 2025 is a swap option, not a pick.
windhorst saying spurs made out like bandits in this deal
