Some Spurs fan before the Dejounte trade: I hope we traded Dilly cause we're getting Trae Young
Some Spurs fan after the Dejounte trade: I hope we keep those FRPs instead of trading for Trae Young
we are definitely cooking up something. The question is what? I'm kinda 50/50 on Young right now

Where does Castle go if we get Trae Young? Seems a bit counter-intuitive of a pick if we're moving in that direction. Especially after he was so adamant about playing PG pre-draft, though after what he's focused on speaking about since being drafted, that could have been smoke after all.
Trae would be a massive slap to the face to Castle:
"We want you to cover all the incredible deficiencies, laziness, inep ude of this guy on defense. On offense, where you want to play an active role, just stand in the corner and watch him chuck away. Welcome to the team."
Traes asking price just went down but Wemby castle Sochan is more than fine defensively vassell isn't a bad defender either. Also I know I may be in the minority but true fits the window he's a perfect fit with Wemby and his voicing of wanting towinhe may be ready to take the next step in his maturity and growth and also he wants to play here he knows this isn't his team might make him even better then add pop in there coaching him and the pedigree of this organisation he might just surprise people. Lastly even with a great 2025 class there's never a guarantee on what your getting and the time it will take trae is already legit a sure thing and still young.
he goes to Small Forward
If they wanted a small forward defender who couldn't shoot they should have taken Holland
Getting trae would ease the sting of giving away dilly for absolutely nothing...
As others have said no way the Hawks do this deal without getting their picks back. Trae Young is probably a Spurs sooner than later.
Eh, the trade specifically gives them draft capital when they didn't have any. (Note: they have Sacramento's next year, too.) It's what Toronto did this year when they weren't getting their own pick - they made sure they got one from Indiana during the Siakam trade.
If Atlanta was getting their picks back, these would be less important to get.
Just thinking of getting Trae made me almost throw upand I even haven't started drinking yet.......
In before the sniffer crew justifies the upcoming Young acquisition
depends on the price tag
even though a trae trade is not my favorite outcome, the terms of the trade can always make it better or worse
No way could I justify a Trae Young trade. He never fit what the Spurs are looking to do in terms of timeline, play style, at ude, or anything. Like I've said, he drops the ceiling of this team down a significant amount. You have to play him a certain way, have the ball in his hands an ungodly amount, put up with his below-average shooting, and have him get crushed on defense. Every possession he has is one that Wembanyama doesn't have.
They could have just taken Dilly at 8. Then we wouldn't even be here. Not saying Dilly is Young, but it's better than the current hoop jumping exercise that is potentially playing out.
Yeah, if we give up ALL our picks for Trae... but Collins also goes... it will be a tough call for me, tbh
you dont have to sell me on dilly. i had him higher than Castle on my board
think i had them 4 and 5 respectively
with that said, Trae is (and coming out of college, was) a much more proven distributor and offensive engine, even if dillingham is quicker and, at least through college, more efficient
There's always the factor of knowing what you're getting too, I guess the question is.....is Trae worth the difference over Dilly considering we can guarantee what he is? Dilly could be a cheaper Trae, but he could also be out of the league in a few years for all we know. At least with Trae they have a proven nba all star who can easily get buckets at this level

Dillingham would have been a far better pick, if we had to.
Doesn't cost $40 million a year. Doesn't cost first round draft picks beyond the one to get him.
Far better outside shooter.
Not quite as ball dominant.
Can play off-ball. Trae is possibly the worst off-ball player in the league.
Trae pounds the out of the ball before trying to do anything at all.
Dillingham at least tries on defense.
Dillingham is potentially able to be molded as a player.
It's hard to describe how rotten Trae Young is as a player.
to me these are the big ones. toward the end of last season we saw wemby operating as a hub, running a lot more inverted pick and rolls. really fascinating stuff... off-ball play is going to be important everywhere, as it is for Denver

Sources: The Pistons will not pick up Evan Fournier’s $19 million team option. The deadline for Fournier was tomorrow.
Expected move.
Westbrook not expected to return to LAC
Wonder where he ends up
I think it's the low valuation of DJ compared to what was expected that makes ppl react that way.Wait people think the Hawks somehow lost in this?
They break up Trae and Dejounte which obviously wasn't working, get a useful player in Nance, and get two picks on top of it?
The Hawks are 2 playoffs appearances away from the Spurs trading Dejounte for 2 non lottery draft picks
I agree with you and I'm afraid with all those East teams tanking hard, it's not going to be hard for ATL to reach the POs
