Yeah, dealing with ATL will involve surrendering their picks. With their disarray, no way im giving those up.
Trae Young costs twice as many picks tbh, including all the ATL picks. Fwiw, don't have a desire for either player.

Keldon + Wesley or Malaki +35th pick + CHA 1st ( two 2nds) for Cam Johnson.
I have like Cam's fit here in the SL for a while now. It balances things with Sochan pretty well.
The value isn't necessarily bad, I just don't see the impetus for the Net to do it. Cam Johnson is a better fit if they trade for a star or in a package for one because of his ability to space the floor.
The value is bad for a sweet shooting forward on a friendly contract. There isn’t even a real FRP included.
no way, NOLA gonna offer Ingram and a Bridges + Schröder package by the Nets could be in play as well. I'd offer #8, the fake Hornets pick and maybe the 25 CHI pick max. They are actually a team that needs players like Keldon, Malaki and Tre Jones, cause their bench is terrible, but they are clearly looking for a co-starring wing. This would most likely be a 3-4 team deal with Jarret Allen moving to another team as well. With that being said, if Garland is on the table the Spurs need to try to get him, since Garland and Trae Young are basically the only 2 attainable All-Star PGs under 25.
Tbh, that's kind of obvious.
OKC's cap situation is amazing now, but they'd rather get a veteran star player in FA like PG13 so he's off the books by summer 2026.
That's when two max extensions, Chet and Williams, kick in.
A year later SGA gets a gigantic supermax deal.
There's no chance they get Markkanen and keep all three core players.
Current playoff teams have no assets.
Spurs are the best situation and fit for Markkanen if we talk teams out playoff picture right now.
Sheesh, is there a player out there that Spurs are not favored to get. Seems like we're getting mentioned as outright favs or top 3 favs in every rumor.
Nets said they’re not moving Bridges. PELs are a threat, you’re right. I assumed it’d be tricky bc BI was on an expiring and unclear about his commitment to CLE long term?
^ also, could you imaging giving maxes to BI, Mitc and Mobley? You’re only trading for BI if CLE if you’re committed to maxing him.
Im actually not that excited about that payroll if I’m them.
lol there might be a total of 100k globally taking that action unless they have inside info… can mormons even gamble?!?
All this for GARLAND? Wow man. I think he's a good player, but no thanks.
3 FRP and a rotation player? At least make them eat the Collins contract.
Two firsts tbh (Spurs are getting a first back), and the #4 and #8 this year would be middling firsts in a normal draft. That being said, still wouldn't do it since I don't think Garland is that good.
The problem with the spurs trading for an all Star caliber guard is they set the market for all star point guards when they traded DJ, teams are going to want a similar package in return.
Grabbing Markkannen would be ing huge.
I love Markkannen's fit next to Wemby but my interest with Lauri always rests on the idea that Markk actually WANTS to be in San Antonio and buys in to the culture etc and so when he becomes a FA Spurs just sign him to a deal and he agrees since he wants to be there.
Not really calling for a trade with UTA where Ainge will ask for too much in return and then SA has to hope he re-signs in one year.
It is possible that Lauri may reject Spurs. Bulls offered him in a trade and it was rejected by the Spurs. Just a thought.
Agreed. If the interest isn't mutual then it wouldn't work imo. Lauri may want to be his own feature regardless if he's really got that in him or not. I could see SA and Lauri liking the idea though, it's compelling. There's a carve out for Lauri and his chemistry with Wemby could get them far. He's a FA next year. Ball is in his court but I bet role and price could possibly be an issue neither camp could agree on. Maybe neither camp likes the match and this is mostly fan desire anyway.
Always felt like the Spurs sought him back in that Bulls situation but couldn't get a deal they were comfortable with given SA seems historically conservative with trades. So it may work if both groups are enamored with each other and that's the extent of my interest. Not real keen to dump 3 FRPs or whatever trade for this, just come to SA and sign as a FA on your own accord if you think it's the right place for you otherwise best luck.
We have draft picks. Lots of them. Even the stupid incompetent NBA media knows how to count.
You don’t do a deal without ink drying on a new contract.
Spurs wanted picks. If Lauri were included at the time, when his stock was extremely low, there would be no 2025 CHI pick.
Not advocating for it but sounds like Lavine could be a salary dump in the coming months. Wouldn’t be surprised if the Bulls let him got for a decent young player or a lightly protected FRP just to get him off the books.
And no Wemby.
