Trade Rumor: Cedi Osman to Spurs (Edit: Trade complete. Osman, Stevens and a second round pick to Spurs.)

[duncan2150]

Not one but two secound round picks ? Keep rulin B Wright lol

[spurraider21]

"As part of the trade, the HEAT is exchanging second round picks with the San Antonio Spurs as Miami will receive a 2027 second round pick (least favorable of San Antonio/Houston/Indiana/Miami/Oklahoma City) and the Spurs will receive a 2026 second round pick (least favorable of Oklahoma City/Dallas/Philadelphia) that Miami received in the KZ Okpala trade in 2022.

Additionally, Cedi Osman, Lamar Stevens, cash considerations and a 2030 second round pick (Cleveland’s own) are also going to San Antonio as part of the transaction."

[spurraider21]

so yeah, spurs are receiving 2 SRPs, but are also sending one out

[rascal]

The Tank Commanders are taking a much needed break we are reviewing all our options but as the saying goes "Success Breeds Confidence". Well right now we feeling pretty damn confident having just received the number 1 pick and selecting a generational talent WEMBY - So as they say when your shooting if your hot keep shooting until you don't make one...lol...2024 Number 1 Pick or Bust?

Just for Fun have doing the Sims on Tanakthon and out of 20 tries came away with 1st pick 4 times and the second 3 times, and all the remaining in the range of 6 to 8. In almost every mock it has us taking PG, DJ Wagner and Atlanta pick has us picking SG, Ja'Kobe Walter..

Spurs need to tank to get into the top ten and get their PG. There are two or three good options next year in the top ten.

Yeah, the Spurs are getting a second from Cleveland and then trading what are likely to both be terrible seconds with Miami in order to "touch" the Heat. Cleveland is likely paying for Stevens' guarantee since they are the one who structured Strus' deal to require his addition.

Yeah, the 2 SRPs is misleading. We’re basically swapping picks with Miami, and based on the protections Miami gets the better in the exchange. But whatever.

we still net 1 extra SRP out of it (cleveland's own 2030 SRP)

[RC_Drunkford]

that's basically a fake trade just to make the trade work. We give you a 2nd, you give us a 2nd. No big deal, getting the 2030 second is key here

[spurraider21]

yeah, especially since those SRPs that are swapped are both "least favorable between 4-5 team" types

[Kurik]

Good stuff! Thanks for the update!

[timvp]

Doesn't matter much but it looks like the one San Antonio is getting is better. It's the least favorable of three teams vs. the least favorable of five teams.

how do you know?
you don't watch ncaa and even more so you don't watch aau games

While the trade was done to reach the salary floor and to get a second round pick, Spurs also get two players and I don't like their odds at making the roster:
- It's almost sure Stevens will be cut to save some money.
- Osman should fight with Bullock for one roster spot and I think Bullock will be the one to make the roster.

[rankingtear]

^ I think they targeted Cedi , he fits the hole KBD left with more versatility on offense. Bullock is 32+ and a corner 3 wing. Nobody would trade for him at 10 a year.

[Dejounte]

Cedi made his “lets get to work san antonio” post so probably he’s staying here

[Obstructed_View]

Cedi made his “lets get to work san antonio” post so probably he’s staying here

Or he made the post to indicate he is willing to compete for it.

[Dejounte]

Would agree if it wasn’t for the reports about the spurs being interested before this year

True but spurs also have Khem they can trade or cut - lots of options there lol. Will be interesting to see if any other trades happen that take care of this too. Even though I don’t want it 3 salaries for Herro type move takes care of that too.

[spurraider21]

The spurs willing to eat and waive multiple contracts as a means of buying draft picks is certainly a welcome development. Keep it up

[Degoat]

So if the spurs keep Cedi the roster would be

ZC/Bassey/Mamu
Wemby/Sochan/Doug
KJ/Julian/Cedi
Dev/Branham/Sidy?
Tre/Wesley/Graham

[DPG21920]

Spurs need a center imo. So mentally I’m preparing for at least 3 of these 4 guys not being on roster: Cedi, Stevens, Khem, Bullock

Doesn't work for Miami. They need to shed his salary completely (into cap room) to get Dame.

They don't. What they need is some team to give up a good asset, say a FRP, for Herro, so that they can add it to the offer for Dame, as Portland don't value Herro himself.

I think Khem and Stevens are automatic toast one way or another, either by combination trade or waiver.

[exstatic]

They can't accept Dame's bloated contract with Herro, or any replacement salary for Herro on the books. Portland may be talked into taking ending contracts in lieu of Herro, but that's the only way it works.
