Yet they'll somehow get excited to get an iffy Alexandre Sarr on a #1 pick contract when they already have Claxton.
for all we know they were crappy protected firsts or something. but 4 is a lot. then again, hes just getting into his prime and is in year 2 of 4 on what is a nice team friendly deal
I think we have to realize a lot of these picks packages aren't worth much. It's easy to get excited about OKC's treasury but when you peer at the trove you see how heavily protected they are and from good teams/franchises (Sixers, Heat, Nuggets, Clippers, rising Rockets). We were excited about the Charlotte pick but it's clearly not going to convey.
Brooklyn already skinned Phoenix and Dallas a bit for their stars and they like Bridges a lot. He's a good citizen, likeable, and is a good piece to keep going instead of full-on tanking. It takes a long time to replace that sort of player.
claxton will be an unrestricted free agent
Fair. They should be able to keep him. Doesn't make bb's ideas less lunatic.
And the Raptors rejected four picks for Anunoby acting like he was off limits too a year ago. Bridges isn't having the season he was last year and even then I think the only way the Spurs could really get him is if they get #1 in this draft so they could draft Sarr for the Nets.
^ for Mikal Bridges?? Not sure if serious.
Looks like Siakam to Indy. Might get the ball rolling on other moves.
Siakam for Walker + Picks would a good get for Toronto for a soft rebuild.
He keeps repeating this . Bizarre.
The first domino to fall as we come to accept that the Spurs will likely stand pat.![]()
They don’t get involved in big trades, but they’ve been very active the last few summers and deadlines. I would comfortably bet against them standing pat.
They'll move Cedi Dougie or both
The Doug for Fournier swap is sitting in plain sight. Spurs would need to be compensated for salary savings to Knicks. Might be an opportunity for a pick quality upgrade, i.e., send over 3 SRPs for a protected FRP.
I think LeBron would be happy to be reconnected with his bud Osman. Might net a SRP.
I'd rather take that chance than trade that chance in for Trae Young who outside of one fluke playoff run hasn't done anything but be the leader of a play in team, lose in the 1st round, get his coach fired, and made players not want to play with him.
I just want to reiterate that Trae Young's own teammates wouldn't vote for him for the All Star game last year. He is severely disliked not only across the league but by his own guys.
you're not getting anything more than, something like a SRP swap or maybe a protected second rounder for a doug/fournier swap
the knicks arent in the tax, so the savings arent doing them much. both are expiring.
Plus Doug is not a Thibs type of player
Young is a second star player who's never had a first or third star next to him. (sorry DJM)
Spurs should have seen Bridges was going to be great and should have traded for him on draft day. I wanted the Spurs to make a trade for Bridges on draft day and he was traded from Phil to Phoenix.
Is Fournier?
Would this squeeze them in the top 6 pick? I rather that TOR pick to convey
At least Doug played for Thibbs for a year already. Fournier is just riding pine.
