No way chicago waives that protection
No way chicago waives that protection
they have to hit the floor
yeah, Chi's not giving anything back for this but if the Spurs don't get a kings 1st this trade would be a loss
Yeah I know. I clicked on the threads in the wrong order.
So how does trading a second round pick to get another team to absorb 3 million in cap space advance that goal?
The Spurs might give a little something to Chicago, maybe a couple seconds.
Clearly the Bulls are in tank mode which would make the 2025 pick valuable, IF the protections were lifted. I wonder if the Spurs would route some of their assets (their own 2025 pick plus 2027 ATL pick and the Minnesota swap?) for the Bulls to repeal the protections on that deal. I wouldn't if I were Chicago (and maybe the Spurs want to hold onto that for a bigger move next summer), but their front office deserves all the that Brian Wright gets on here with their questionable decisions.
Spurs will have no trouble hitting the floor.
The Graham deal is the exact same as selling SRPs for cash. We just traded an SRP to save $2.8MM. There is no basketball-related purpose to this move, it's purely a profit management move by the FO.
its cap space to absorb the demar player in the trade, it's not like they're done, they have to hit the floor
he'll end up in GS indubitably
The spurs shouldn't give anything to Chicago that doesn't benefit the Spurs, which in this case if probably nothing
Chicago ain't repealing their protection when they just traded away their best player
Graham deserved more playing time but Pops bust projects had to come first.
Reports are that Demar is flying to Sacramento now. Not likely to get an update in this for a while, right?
I do Zoom calls from Airplanes all the time, Demar's agent should have no problem talking to his client
DeRozan being dramatic. No one else is out there offering anything, bro.
He's milking it for sure. He could meet with them on Zoom but he has to tour the facility.
If the trade machinations work, I’d rather have Duarte, Lyles, and a SAC FRP.
The second years on Barnes and Huerter are braffy.
Generally what you do with draft picks.
Spurs did right by this guy after they were kinda crummy to him last year. No way he was getting that extra 10M anywhere else.
Duarte has been in a spiral since his rookie year.
A true cautionary tale against drafting the 4 year college guys…
Yeah, I was thinking more just to have the 5M expiring.
It was probably the plan ... since the start of last season
As good a human being he can be, no way he keeps his cool that much knowing not only he'll lose 10M but also can't prove his worth on the floor.
More or less at this point, but it was obvious Wembanyama wanted some credible veterans who were still useful brought in, Barnes is about as Spurs like as they come, he can seemingly be had for basically free and he's a solid fit.
I'm not sure what that has to do with anything. Despite the wildly outsized expectations, Castle is highly unlikely to become an All-Star and Sochan is even less so.
If Barnes is acquired and it's Castle (as I'd expect) who'd temporarily (again, Paul, injury prone, unlikely to play much more than half a game and possibly sit out one end of back to backs and here for the entire season at most) come off the bench, it not only won't hurt his long term trajectory, it might help it.
You indicated wanting to be a starter vs coming off the bench was confusing to you. There are many reasons to be a starter, not the least of those being the bag.
