As much as I'd like to think they're gonna make a move, we all know they aren't going to do anything but add some journeyman role player in FA and call it a day. We'll have virtually the same team next season

Well sure -- but not for the Spurs. A smaller trade seems more likely.
Keldon seems like the odd man out or at least he probably hears the footsteps behind him.
I do think the landscape is shaping up to a trade, but I wouldn't get excited about major moves just yet.
Especially about Trae, that noise...
yea something like Graham and filler for Lonzo Ball and a 2045 pick
Extending grahams deadline date, refusing to take Dillingham and the Hawks trading DJ all point to one thing guys, the trade for Trae is coming soon!
sorry guys but that is what I would bet on based on these facts.
Sig bet?
90% certain theres no major trade. Spurs, based on everything they have done appear to be pushing chips to 25’ and beyond. Would be quite a big surprise if Spurs made a major move. My guess is small free agency vet(s) and/or small trade
Wouldn’t be surprised to see them still take on a “Bad” deal for assets if the player helps the team (a la THJ to DET).
Only big trade I can see would be Keldon being moved but even then I dont think it would be a “big” trade where SA gets a superstar back and sends out a bunch of picks etc…Maybe Keldon + CHA pick for Cam Johnson type of move on the “big” side of the scale.
No way the hawks take risacher if they were trading trae. They would have probably taken somebody who has some hope of being a franchise player like Sarr
I think I have seen something about every single team in FA so far except the spurs, as usual
I'm trying to think of a third team that could get involved in a Spurs/Hawks deal.
The idea would be that the third team sends out the assets for Young that they would in a two-team deal with the Hawks, but instead those assets go to the Spurs with the Hawks getting their 2025/2026/2027 draft control back plus salary filler.
A very rough draft might be:
Hawks send Young
Hawks receive their own 2025 and 2027 picks, undo the 2026 swap, Russell, Zollins
Spurs send ATL 2025/2027, undo 2026 swap, Zollins, Graham
Spurs receive LAL 2027 protected 1-4, 2029/2031 unprotected, Reaves, Hachimura
Lakers send 2027 protected 1-4, 2029/2031 unprotected, Russell, Reaves, Hachimura
Lakers receive Young, Graham
I'm not saying this is a good deal for everyone, just that it illustrates the framework.
That’s a terrible, terrible SA return for the Hawks picks. Go stand in the corner for half an hour.
was there a deleted tweet in ur op..........why is ur op so long for 2 words........
I think maybe they are including Zack in the trade to make sure they get all their picks back based on what they got for DJ. It’s expected that Trai is worth less than DJ who got 2 picks. So to get all their picks back they will have to throw in Zack too.
We’ve already got one pending. Have to look back to see if it was sig/avi or both
I hope so, but my fear is Brian Wright is so inherently conservative and averse to making a mistake-- any mistake, no matter how small-- that he doesn't find an opportunity to be aggressive and pull it off. I hope I'm wrong.
Call me crazy…. But I have noticed most of the current spurs have followed Stephon Castle on Instagram, Keldon has not (Windhorst gif lol)
Probably nothing, but Keldon has always kind of taken on that leadership role welcoming guys to SA so it’s weird he hasn’t.
so something like this:
2025 is around the corner and that draft is stacked. Spurs could be losing out on their #2 star by sending that pick out.
Going all in on Trae won’t be a small mistake, it would be a catastrophic one.
Perhaps they don’t want more locker room negativity after the Trae/DJM debacle. Drafting someone who basically refused to even workout for you could increase or create new tensions after they just made a trade to alleviate them. Their FO does look a bit like they’re in fire sale mode
I don't think anything at all points to a big trade for the Spurs, as much as I would be intrigued by some activity. To quote our general manager, " I don't know about all that!"
Oh, I wasn't referring to Trae at all. I'm no fan of Trae.
Wembys timeline is yesterday. No more teenagers after this year, just vets!
Trae/Castle/Risacher/Sohan/Wemby is at least a play in team!
Wemby and Castle can cover for Trae’s lack of defense and Risacher can cover for Sohan’s lack of shooting.
