Tbh, I wouldn't trade for any more role players except for Collins upgrade, would be just lateral moves.
If we're to actually compete, we either need to get a legit second option like Markkanen or have some of the young guys take a big leap forward.
Will be a good idea to have another wing but it will depends on what they think of champ imo they like him and the team will be the same as today plus mamu or another big. btw i really like the deal, a swap and a taking a good vet who's 38% carreer 3pt shooter is nice.

Very possible. Because Utah will have to absorb both Keldon and Collins in order for us to extend Lauri. So, we definitely need to give Ainge one or two more high picks.
Was Huerter ever really in the conversation? I like Barnes, but would have loved Huerter instead.
Regarding the “touch” rule I would venture to guess SA sends the cash they got from CHA to CHI to satisfy that no?
Pretty sure CHI25:2 is going from SA to Chicago
Would trading Bassey out solve the cap space issue of being about to fit Paul?
Or just some bull SRP.
That’s what I was thinking.
Only if you trade him into someone’s cap space, and there is a cost to that. Much easier to just cut him.
I think we got $200K from CHA. Even a second rounder will return more than that.
The cash for the touch rule isn't the same amount than the cash a team must send in a two teams trade. It was, an maybe still is, $1.1M for the touch rule and $110K for a two teams trade.
For the touch rule, Spurs can't send a protected second round pick (the usual top55 protected), they must send a pick that will convey. They might send a quite bad pick because they have a huge chest of second round pick.
For example, in 2026, Spurs will have as second round picks:
- worst of Thunder, Mavs and 76ers.
- best of Spurs and worst of Pacers/Heat.
- worst of Pels and Blazers.
- Jazz
- Hornets pick if Spurs don't get their 2025 first round pick.
Spurs might send the worst of these 4/5 second round picks to satisfy the touch rule.
Not enough, Spurs would still be about $2.5M shy of where they need to be.
What???? Spurs give up the ability to land CHI 25 first for this? I would be big time surprised.
Spurs have CHI 2025 1st and 2nd
I believe Chinook is referring to the second round pick. The Spurs would still keep the CHI 25 first.
Not the first, the second. And that isn’t out in the NBAoSphere anywhere. Seems to just be conjecture.
But I hope it's not that CHI 25 second
Take one of those ty ones, 26 best of Spurs and worst of Pacers/Heat. lol
Ok - that would make sense. I thought he was saying CHI 25 first and 2nd
On a scale of 1-10, I’d put this about a 7.5. This year is a simulator type of year in my eyes. Barnes serves a few purposes: 1) A floor spacing 4 who does not require high usage. He’s not a part of the future, but this player archetype very much is. 2) A contract that can be aggregated into a bigger deal. I suspect he’ll be kept this year so it won’t come into play, but a year from now his expiring contract could be very useful in a bigger deal. 3) Professionalism. The Spurs need some more adults on the floor who know where to be and when to be there.

Just woke up to see this, love this trade. Great move!
Not playing defense, having non-NBA athleticism and being immensely streaky will do that.
Hope not, too, but the reality is they always sell/trade the first pick in the second round anyway.
Well put. I think he's the perfect vet addition. Between him and CP, these kids are going to have a lot to learn if they decide they want to.
So glad we didn't give up tons of picks for Lauri and sign him to a massive contract. This keeps things way more flexible for a solid player.
That’s not necessarily off the table. It would depend on him signing or not signing an extension. That will be known in a month or so.
