There may be more than you think.
But the scenarios look difficult.
I'm one of the very few people who wants to see him next to Wemby.
There may be more than you think.
But the scenarios look difficult.
Extremely difficult.
I want
1. Sarr
2. Castle
Then I don't care who after those two.
I want one of them and Saluan, and then it doesn't matter to me either.
me too I think it would rock especially if the team can convince Sarr to do the dirty work become Gobert/Draymond, primary focus is defense, rebounds and enforcing the toughness of the team.
If the Spurs move up to #1 as has been rumored, would Sarr actually be the guy instead of Risacher? Obviously you'd have to buy his offensive upside to pass on a clear need at Wing (3&D), but maybe the Spurs have him in a tier of his own.
Depending on what they'd have to give up, not sure how I'd feel about it.
Would be great to get Sarr but at what price is always the question. Popovich loves 2 bigman line ups if it makes sense.
How in a draft without elite prospects can the price to move up 2-3 spots be that expensive? When there isn't a clear cut #1 prospect I would think teams would leap at the chance to trade down.
It shouldn't be too expensive, other than the PR hit to that team's fanbase. Except effin Givony set the market by claiming the Spurs would trade 4 and 8 to go up to 2.
Word.
This is the way.
Agree. But when I look at Sarr and see the 56% on pull-up midrange shots, gazelle speed in transition, solid turnaround midrange jumper, good IQ as a cutter, and most of all, lockdown perimeter D when he's focused -- I don't see a bigman. I see a long, versatile wing in development. Everyone is knocking this guy's lack of three-point shot, but his midrange stroke looks smooth. I don't see Wemby and him as Twin Towers 2.0. I see a pterodactyl that would immediately improve the Spurs' perimeter D, and become a league-wide matchup nightmare with VW facilitating him.
Love that we're hearing zero media buzz regarding the Spurs and Sarr, and that so many are saying he's a wrong fit. Keep it going.
I agree that Sarr’s game looks more like wing than big at this point.
His ability to defend 2-4 looks really good.
He needs more strength to defend the 5.
On offense the midrange shot looks pure.
If he can move it out to the 3pt line he’ll be a really good pro.
I have Risacher, Sheppard, and Clingan ahead of Sarr right now because I think they contribute immediately but Sarr has more upside than almost anyone in this draft.
Package Atlanta 27, Keldon and 8 for 1 and draft Sarr.
Keep 4 and draft Castle. Come away from the draft with both Sarr and Castle.
That might be nice. But if Atl won't do it, here's a slight variation.
Package Atlanta 27, Keldon and 4 for 1 and draft Sarr.
Keep 8 and draft Topic. Come away from the draft with both Sarr and Topic.
I want Castle instead of Topic.
Keldon is replacement level, the Hawks would have no reason to do that trade.
If Clingan fell to 8 then Atlanta may have interest in that deal and make the trade after the spurs draft Clingan. Word is Atlanta is showing interest in Clingan even at 1 but doubt they take him at 1.
Would love it but the Hawks would have to throw in someone to match Keldon's salary, so it would have to be Capela or Okongwu, both of whom are more valuable players than Johnson. Scrap Keldon from the deal because it's negative value for Atlanta. Where I could see trading Keldon would be to Detroit to move up from 8 to 5 if Risacher and Castle are still on the board so they can take both. Detroit could pick up their option on Fournier for the matching salary for Keldon.
Washington is desperately hoping the Hawks take Risacher #1 tbh. They'd be all over Sarr at #2.
Sign me up for this.
I'll add one more thought. Although I think the Spurs' team defense would immediately improve with Keldon moving on, I'm inclined to agree with Baseline Bum above. And as I've said elsewhere, I think a true rebuild doesn't begin until Vassell is traded. Addition by subtraction because of his overall lack of chemistry with VW.
Package Atlanta 27, Vassell, and the 8 for the 1 and draft Sarr.
Keep the 4 and draft Castle.
Vassell graduated from Peachtree Ridge in Suwanee, GA -- suburb of Atlanta. Vassell returns home to play for his hometown team.
Yes, I like that trade.
A truly ty take in every way.. Congrats on that one.
Are you guys high? Vassell, an unprotected ATL 2027 first, and #8 for Sarr?![]()
