Shams: Spurs Trade for Phoenix G Cam Payne

[XenoThirteen]

according to fanspo 2 months restriction

Cedi Osman cannot be traded to a team aggregated with other players from his team because 2 months have not passed since he was traded for. He can only be traded away to a team by himself and other non-player assets from his team (draft picks, cash considerations, etc). This restriction expires after Sep 04, 2023.

Reggie Bullock cannot be traded to a team aggregated with other players from his team because 2 months have not passed since he was traded for. He can only be traded away to a team by himself and other non-player assets from his team (draft picks, cash considerations, etc). This restriction expires after Sep 10, 2023.

This probably means our Spurs news will be slow for the next month. Expected… but damn.

Someone online mentioned we now have Champagnie and CamPayne, lol

And "Dom" Barlow.

[jesterbobman]

Smart move overall. Cam is fine, and 48 minutes of competence at PG is helpful. Wesley isn't a competent option at the moment (I think it was a good gamble of a pick, getting able to touch the paint is valuable, but he's not there yet...and might not get there).

Still seems like with the number of depth veterans the Spurs have, they could get in on a trade in a 3 for 1 for an expiring that's a bigger deal. Lowry is the obvious fit, especially if it's after / part of a Miami-Dame trade: Bullock, in particular should have value to a contender as a 3&D wing. A Bullock / Stevens / Graham for Lowry package is probably decent for both sides.

This, paired with shutting down Wesley tonight does not bode well for Blake's future. Is he worth waiting to trade away or do you cut him now so he has a chance to sign on with someone else?

No rush. His value isn't exactly high.

Agree, but if he doesn't look to be in their plans they might move now just to do him a solid.

[Mr. Body]

Guys, Blake Wesley isn't getting cut because of Summer League.

Guys, they didn't trade for Cam Payne because of Summer League.

[CGD]

This makes no sense. He has value on this team and as a possible deadline trade.

Unless they do a consolidation trade here soon, one of Bullock, Osman, and Payne probably won’t make the team. Simple roster crunch math. I doubt they waive Mamu and Champagne having just cut deals with them, and Bassey is at a position of need.

[Marcus Bryant]

Looks like a good use of cap space.

[CGD]

So... 150-200% more expensive than what some teams buy the most expensive SRPs for? When we have a glut of SRPs already?

Not seeing your logic there.

Fair, but I think it turns on the cash offset. After the SRP market shifted in February, 3-4M is not an unreasonable cost for one of those picks anymore. It basically took 4 SRP for NOLA to get off of 12M of Devonte Graham.

Yeah they just wanted that extra second round pick to add another player when their roster was already overcrowded.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

They already were signing Barlow. Are you okay?

Yes, I'm sure Friday afternoon all the Spurs brass got together and said: "If Blake doesn't impress tonight, it, we cut him. We just cut him straightaway."

Yes, that makes sense.

[RC_Drunkford]

Spurs will most likely waive Birch and Stevenson. That leaves them with 16 players and they still have to sign Cissoko cause of his buy out. Meaning 2 guys either get cut or 3 players get traded for 1.

I didn't say that. I said they might release him if they thought it would help him now to sign on with another team.

And Blake has been utter all summer league, so they didn't decide this in one day.

[Spurs9]

Honestly really like Payne, I got a few of his autograph cards tbh.

[tbdog]

What is our roster looking like now? Is it 15 players plus 3 two ways?

[spurraider21]

Also depends if Barlow will agree to a 2 way

[Kurik]

The Spurs can always decide on the best mix of point guards to keep for the season throughout training camp and the pre-season. I don’t think anyone should consider themselves a lock when it comes to our PGs besides Tre.

[Mr. Body]

I didn't say that. I said they might release him if they thought it would help him now to sign on with another team.

You think they're going to cut him so he can sign somewhere else? You think they're going to go with, like, Devonte Graham this year instead of continuing with Wesley? Who have they cut while they were still developing? I can think of only one, and it was his at ude and quit that cut him.

I don't get this line of thinking whatsoever. Why would they cut someone at the end of Summer League just because he hasn't yet turned a corner? It's senseless.

[tbdog]

If that's the case, three of Longford, Dieng, Birch or Stevens gets waived. Siddy and rice two ways.

[Kurik]

Because of Sidy’s buyout status with his EU team he can’t be signed to a two-way unfortunately.

[Spurs9]

Bright Wright is a genius tbh, all of his moves have been very calculated for the future. Maintaining the max flexibility with the contracts and picks.

[Mr. Body]

Langford and Dieng are already gone. I do think Birch and Stevens are gone -- tomorrow for Stevens. Birch might be around a bit long as they keep looking for deals.
