    So, anyone else interested in bringing Chris Paul in for a season? What are some realistic trades that could get him to SA, given his salary?

    Beyond any personal feelings about CP3 as a player, having him mentoring Wemby for a year (and hopefully also Castle or whichever PG-like prospect we draft) would be undeniably benefitial to his game and development. The Point God, paired with maybe the most versatile big man in NBA history... One can only imagine.
    He’s a loser, and has never really been known as a mentor type.

    Can he even wipe his own ass?
    He can't even stand up from the toilet.

    Chris Paul is done. He was godawful in Golden State. I know he would be brought in as more of a mentor but might as well hire him as an assistant coach or something. The spurs shouldn’t waste a roster spot on him with all the other deadweight they currently have on the roster.

    Caruso's one of those guys that's sort of universally praised but also regularly undervalued... The Lakers made such a huge mistake letting him go after their bubble championship, then thinking they could replace him with Westbrook, who is the absolute opposite of Caruso as a high usage rate, poor shooting, average size, often lax defender. What a colossal miscalculation-- and that decision looks very relevant to the current debate as to whether or not a traditional PG is necessary for success in this NBA.

    That Malik Monk deal is nuts. Klay Thompson has got to be pissed right now. There’s no way a team is paying him more than Monk, right?

    Pissed for what? That he's going to be paid 50M as opposed to 80M to play basketball? That his net worth is going to be 200M rather than 220M? Klay is washed, he should thank his pal Curry that GSW is still trying to keep the core together and may get an offer he doesn't deserve. Cry me a river, Klay.

    His salary is partially guaranteed... finding a suitable trade at that price tag might be difficult, would not be surprised if he's just waived. But could go either way.

    Works for me and for the Spurs. Treadmill is exactly where we want them.
    They traded Caruso and are exploring options for Vucevic and Lavine, and probably DDR gets moved in a S&T. Bulls are trying to get off the treadmill.

    Patrick Williams is a horrible disappointment. People need to stop looking for potential when a player has been in the league for four years already. He is whowhat he is, a 10 point scorer. Keldon s all over him as a player, and you want to give the pick back, too? that.
    Patrick Williams is a disappointment in terms of the unfair expectations placed upon him. He's not a star, but he's a 22 y.o. combo forward with good size (6'7", 6'11" wingspan) who fits the 3&D mold perfectly well (career 41% from 3). He's probably a 4th/5th option on a good team and there are injury concerns that should be addressed, but if he's properly checked and his salary demands fit that 4th/5th option role, I'd consider making an offer. He's much easier to fit into a winning team than Keldon and may end up having a better career than half the guys drafted in the top 10 next week. Spurs need to think of other ways of acquiring talent besides the draft.

    I get that Presti-suckers just reflexively... suck Presti's tadger, but while this looks great in the short term, dunno. Again feels a ton like the Gordon Hayward trade where he's losing assets for things that either won't work, don't really do much different, or don't last long.
    What? OKC turned a guy who couldn't be played in the playoffs and needed to be paid into one of the better role players in the league. Caruso is nothing like Gordon Hayward, who is clearly washed and has character issues, it's baffling how this could be spined into a negative for OKC. Spurs should be taking notes.

    Don't bother

    Trade looks even worse for Chicago with the news this morning that Giddey basically asked out of OKC.

    Moving Vuc and/or Lavine won’t really move the needle if the keep DD and put the ball in Giddeys hands. Everything beyond Caruso, who returned a starter level player, is conjecture. They’ve had several chances to blow it up, and this management team has passed every time.

    Uh… he was the #4 overall pick, so I think expectations should be expected. Nothing unfair about brickbats for a #4 overall pick who never scored more than 10 points in four seasons.

    Honestly, I'm assuming the pick doesn't convey in '25. In fact I'd rather they bottom out now,than try to make the play in again, only to fail and keep the pick, then tank in '26. That's where we're really f*cked. Hopefully they land some talent soon and bounce back quickly.

    That's old news, he's 22 and where he was drafted 4 years ago is irrelevant. The only question that should matter is if he can be a productive piece and at what price.

    It might not, but the odds increase in 2026 and 2027 when the protection drops to 1-8. There will also be a ton of tankers next year, leading to some cheap wins.

    I’m not against picking him up off the scrap heap, but I’m not paying an asset for him. They should have done a Presti, and traded him after season 3 before the extension becomes an issue. He obviously didn’t get one.

    Dude could come in and probably be our best wing.Champ,Keldon,Sochan and other wings are not good or just average.
    Hoping sochan makes a big jump or we may have to move on from him.

    I like him in theory, but the mental midget tendencies are concerning. DET will get him though.

    I wouldn't offer him more than two years.

    Would rather get Harrison Barnes if we're in for a veteran forward.
    He'd be really cheap, Kings need to get under the tax.
