2024 NBA Off-Season Thread (FA, Trades, Extensions, Rumors)

[Leetonidas]

Tobias Harris to Detroit. Saw that coming

[MannyIsGod]

I can't believe Zollins finessed 17mil per year from these bums

The Spurs have so many picks they HAVE to start using them as trade assets. What's the point of getting all these picks if you're just going to sit on them? They can send away 3-4 picks in a trade for LM and still have plenty left.

[NASpurs]

Btw, since we're talking about picks again.

2022: Sochan, Branham, Wesley
2021: Primo
2020: Vassell
2019: Samanic, Keldon

I'd argue that Markkanen is more valuable than 7 players we drafted in 2019-2022.
I know it's whataboutism and who knows what can happen in future drafts, but Devin is the only player out of those 7 picks who looks like he'd surely be a contributor on a legit playoff team.
Don't forget that we just traded away a lottery pick.
I'd rather have an actual all-star than a stash of 2030s FRPs.



I'm not an expert, but it should be possible.
Someone who's more into CBA stuff should confirm it.

That kind of contract would be a steal.

This is true, Lauri is a known commodity unlike our unknown future capital especially with the way this FO has been drafting the past few years.

Ok i give Ainge consent to bend over Wrong.

[LeBowen]

Hartenstein’s deal is frontloaded and the final year will not be guaranteed, source tells The Post.

Presti running circles around the entire league.

[Leetonidas]

Spurs also tried to get Lauri from Chicago in the DeRozan trade so their interest isn't surprising. Do it Wright

[timtonymanu]

Markannen would be great. That means he going to the Warriors.

[Mugen]

The thought of what Ainge would do to BWrong with a guy on an expiring like Markkanen is legit terrifying tbh

[Dejounte]

The Spurs only compe or for Lauri are the Warriors? They can get him if they want him then.

[Mr. Body]

Presti running circles around the entire league.

All he did was sign a center for more than that center's team could give him. His other move was coughing up a recent high draft pick for one year of a good but aging defensive guard. These are both great moves, but most of his legend still comes from Kawhi Leonard forcing LAC to trade for Paul George. The way you all present your asses for him like baboons is ridiculous. Presti sniffers.

Obviously can't get into the same discussion with all-time great GMs until his team wins something, but you can't deny he's been doing great.
The most important thing is that he's constantly trying to improve his team, despite them being in arguably the worst location in the league.

Yes, he got lucky with nephew wanting PG, but let's not forget how bad was OKC's situation after losing KD for free.
They took no time to recover, compared to Spurs that still wouldn't have recovery from nephew's antics if not for lottery luck.

It's going to be interesting to see how he deals with three max extensions coming up, but other than that, he's doing an amazing job in a location.

Spurs get:

Markkanen

Jazz get:

Collins
2025 Chicago 1st
2025 Hornets 1st
2026 Spurs 1st (top-3 protected)
2031 Wolves 1st
+any number of 2nd rounders


Get it done

[Dverde]

I think you take 2025 ours and ATL picks off the table, but I’m down with trading a bunch of other picks for Lauri especially if they take Zollins and or Keldon off our hands. Mormons would love Zollins and his zippy haircuts.

[RC_Drunkford]

so hypothetically speaking: if we trade for him, could we then renegotiate his contract and do a wink-wink type of extension where he does not get the full max due to the Spurs paying him like 15 million more this season than he should usually get? And then just frontload the extension? So you pay him 33 million instead of 18 this season and then structure the contract like 46, 46, 43, 40?

Chinook enlighten us

Yikes this is disheartening. I like Sochan and Vassell but jesus… I wonder if this is a typical four year draft span for most franchises though? This does not make me excited for our future drafts

[baseline bum]

Markkanen is on the last year of his deal and is due a huge payday. I wouldn't expect him to re-sign with the Jazz if they're perpetually rebuilding.

While I'm sure the Spurs have interest, he is 27 already and will cost a wad. Of course he would be nice to have, but cost to acquire, cost in salary, even question about fit, meld with that different timeline. I could see it, and it's good to check on prices, but I'm sure they're also making sure prices for compe ors stay high. Gut says OKC will get him. Maybe this ain't that bad, given that he's so poor defensively.

Timeline is fine for him but I'd put the 25 Atlanta pick off limits.

[BacktoBasics]

I’m not sure I understand the Lauri fit. Both him and Wemby tend to work between the free throw and 3pt line. Lauri isn’t a perimeter or post defender.

imo there's no way Ainge trades Markkanen to the Spurs without getting at least two of the Hawks' picks/swaps, and probably all three.

[Dverde]

Watch the warriors offer up more than the pearl clutching Spurs. I would think Keldon is better asset than Wiggins. Warriors will probably have to include Kuminga to get it done. Spurs can outbid them but will they hmmm

I think you'd have to change that Hornets fake first to the Spurs 2030 with the DAL+MIN swaps. I'd probably want to protect the 2026 top 4 since the Spurs have that swap with Atlanta but would be willing to give it unprotected if it's between that or the 2025 ATL pick.

He's a stretch 4. Victor is a 5 who, while he has perimeter skills, does the most damage inside the paint. Having an elite floor spacer next to Wemby with CP running the show would unlock our offense imo

Spurs should know what the Warriors can offer. We shouldn’t be bidding with themselves like the Timberwolves for Gobert. No way it’s worth giving up the whole ATL bag.

[Mugen]

Keldon would definitely be involved in a Markannen trade.

If the Warriors were willing to part with Kuminga then I think their offer would trump any of the Spurs ones. Future GSW picks after Steph is gone would be juicy AF tbh.

[poopbox]

What an offseason for Presti, man.

I'd love for the Spurs to one day sniff the competence of OKC at some point in the future. Maybe when the old man and BWrong are gone tbh.

Yeah people on here thinking we are similar to OKC in any way shape or form forget that we have the trash in our front office and OKC has Presti who is arguably the best GM in the league.

He lost both his franchise players, built the team back up from nothing with picks, and is now paying the players he should pay to improve his team. And he doing all of this in ing Oklahoma which is one of the least desirable places to be in the US. If he ever went to a big market it would be over for the league, he'd have the 10 of the top 25 players lining up to play for him.

Getting rid of Giddey WHILE not giving up a draft pick damn near gets him GM of the year nod.

I'm not convinced he doesn't swoop in on these Lauri talks and get him to
