Moody is a guy that should be much further into their rotation than they give him.
He does fit the description. I still really like Zach, and would be sad to see him go. I also dont immediately like anything the Warriors would have to offer aside from a very distant FRP.

I would take Reaves on this team, all things neutral. He is a good player. He just got the 'Talen Horton-Tucker, Everybody On The Lakers Is Awesome' overrated bump to a thousand degrees.
In the last decade or so, young laker guys have generally panned out quite well tbh
jordan clarskon, Josh hart, julius randle, Alex Caruso, ivica zubac, lonzo, ingram. Even some guys that flowed through like Malik monk, kcp.
there’s not exactly a huge track record of overrated lakers players that signed big deals elsewhere and flopped
Reaves isn’t playing as well he was at his highest notes last year but he’s still outperforming his contract
Just remembered Collins is untradeable until the off-season for god knows what reason
Ha, I'll bet Austin Reeves was pissed too! But I can't hate on Simmons as he is for "screw LA" in every scenario, which I think is more than fair given their history of using agents and players to steal star players from other teams.
I think Barlow is getting better and better and Bassey will be back next season. Does that make Collins expendable? Wemby at center has been so dominant that once the Spurs play him at 35 minutes a game, there really will not be much room for Collins. I think Collins is definitely worth at least an unprotected first rounder. I don't know if I like anyone on that Warriors roster except Curry, so I don't see that the Spurs would trade him for a package of players. It would have to be a draft pick. I'm not sure they could squeeze two picks out of him, but he probably is worth more than one pick even though the Spurs got him for essentially nothing.
Spurs should get rid of Collins ASAP in the offseason. They need a rim running shotblocker off the bench a la Claxton, Robert Williams, Poeltl
what about isiah hartenstein
So, he's insinuating that Trae's camp is putting this out there... that's interesting..
Unfortunately, the $18M contract for Collins will be hard to move. If he comes back with consistently good 3pt shooting that would help a lot, but it’s probably too much to expect. The Spurs will likely have Zollins for the duration of that contract.
I agree the Spurs should replace Zollins, as you say, but I have no confidence that they can.
that trae young tease is just cruel to spurs fans lol
If Trae to the Spurs really is a thing, the Spurs would rather do it during the offseason so their horrendous start to the season doesn't end up in like the 8th pick, but the Hawks would want to do it ASAP so they can get their tank on this season.
Info on Trae, just FYI for anyone who wonders.
Age 25.
Contract:
2023-24, $40,064,220
2024-25, $43,031,940
2025-26, $45,999,660
2026-27, $48,967,380
No player or team options. It’s what you’d expect for a franchise star player.
The Spurs would need to be certain he’s what they want.
Potentially, Trae could be outstanding with Wemby on the offensive end, very tough for an opponent to handle.
Trae would need defensive help, that is, he’d need to be part of a well coached defense.
Hartenstein, current contract $9.2M, UFA this summer, get him if possible, I would say. He’s been worth it as a good backup and a replacement starter.
He’s on track to get several bids this summer, tho. He’ll probably have a choice of teams.
Zach Lowe had a quick reference to the DJM rumor on his podcast today, and they briefly also mused about Trae Young.
Honestly I would love to offload Zach to them.
Am I the only one that likes Barlow and feel he could be a solid backup center going forward?
He's doing well. Last year at this time he was changing minds. A lot of us thinking he could actually be a player in this league. His development has been great.
the implication being that somebody is calling? lol
Gotta stockpile all the second round draft picks you can!
I'd love to get in on a three team deal between the Lakers and Hawks if the Spurs can land Reaves. Seems unlikely to happen. Hawks honestly should blow it up if they decide to trade Murray. It makes more sense long term.
If Trae is available you absolutely go for him. He's young & incredible. You don't get superstars available that often.
