Breaking up Trae/DJ without getting a win-now piece back is good news for the value of those picks.

2028 isn't a pick from BOS, it's just a swap, and I don't think we can trade those.
No they're not. Both picks are gonna be in the 20s tbh.
Would be bad, but the only thing that really ever had me questioning my Spurs fandom was when they were about to sign Warm Karl back in 03.If the Spurs trade for Trae Young after drafting Stephon Castle and skipping Dilly, I'm out
ATL picks are overrated, I think they will make the playoffs.
The absolute best the Hawks ever played was with shooters surrounding Trae, and now Murray's touches are going to an offball shooter in Risacher.
Trade those picks before they lose value, end up as pick 16, and B.Wrong ruins another draft
The Hawks had a chance to be compe ive if they drafted Clingan, not Risacher.
either:
they believe they will be compe ive with the players they attained in this trade and will fail miserably because Nance, Daniels, Risacher are all garbage
or
they’re getting their pick back from us
it has to be the latter, tbh. If it’s the former then that ATL pick is going to be gold.
but… they don’t do this trade if they don’t have a trade with the Spurs lined up already. Welcome home, Trae!
No F*CKING WAY spurs are that dumb to trade for Trae. Theres just no way IMO. Everything they’ve done from their patience mindset alongside the archetype of player says “no to Trae”
Im honestly not worried about that. Could see a BKY/HOU type deal though were SA gets equivalent picks + sweetener to give ATL picks back though.
My thoughts… this is a win win for the spurs. ATL got worse with this trade, highly doubtful they’ll be a playoff team, those picks will be great!
if the hawks do trade Trae Young to SA then we just got a star guard next to wemby! Saying we traded away Dilly then went and traded for young, DO NOT put them in the same convo.
If we actually do it, there won't be enough hamsters in the world to keep this forum running.
Imagine trading for Trae with Dillingham becoming a legit 20ppg scorer, we'd be done as a franchise, tbh.
I don’t know why people keep thinking Dillingham is going to reach half of Trae’s level. It won’t be close, tbh.If we actually do it, there won't be enough hamsters in the world to keep this forum running.

The lakers can easily miss the playoffs in the west tbh..
Am I the only one fine with getting Trae? I mean it obviously depends on what we have to give up, but seems like the consensus here is that he’s a bad player or doesn’t make the team considerably better. There are certainly deals that could make sense and would totally transform this team.
People overstate the whole “short guards don’t win les” thing. We’re not asking him to be the best player on the team. We already have our #1 and he has the potential to be one of the most dominant players of all time…that changes things. Not trying to argue that defense doesn’t matter but I just don’t think Trae is automatically incapable of winning just because he’s a bad defender and hasn’t won as the first option.
You make a good point here. The only thing worse than not having picks is having picks but also having Brian Wright as your GM.
We suddenly have all these defensive bulldogs to hide Trae, tbh. Castle, Sochan, Wesley, Cissoko, whoever else they can get.
ATL, if they simply keep Trae, is GUARANTEED to make play-in at worst. Depending on what happens in CLE (Mitc does not extend?) and PHI (can they build a team because all they have are Embiid + Maxey on their roster) ATL can make playoffs pretty straightforward
But worst case is 9th seed since literally every single other team that was not a playoff team in the East is tanking hard for this draft and got worse. Theres zero compe ion for 9th seed and play-in for ATL even with no Murray.
I don't think too much of Wright but him drafting Castle just to trade for Trae? Seems far-fetched.
Lmao - Traes sh*t defense and need to be on ball and contract and fact he will cost 3-4 firsts negates anything else.
I'm fine with getting him also. Not necessarily my preference but I don't think it's going to ruin the franchise and any chance Victor has to compete if it doesn't work out. There are many ways to get to the same place imo
I'd be fine if the price is right (ATL picks and dumping all of our useless players) and Trae agrees to not ask for a full max extension in $60M a year range, but to stay at around ~$45M he's currently making.
If you draft a player who's that useless on one side of the floor, he has to realize we'd need more cap space in order to surround him with a functional team.
And if we're drafting Trae, then might aswell go all in and also trade for a legit forward.
Drafting Castle was moronic if they were going to make this trade.
Well ATL got a 25 and 27 FRP back for Murray.
If they’re moving players, I’m highly interested in taking Hunter off their hands.
