    As somewhat of a hater, it was obvious Wright is a great salesman, he got us a lot of assets.
    The thing that remains to be seen is how good of a buyer he'll be.

    This is a great trade, now it's time to outsmart Ainge.

    Im far from a hater, but the asset ac ulation and s the easiest part for f the rebuild once you admit it’s time. We’re getting closer to nut-cutting time. That’s the hard part.

    Gray counting as a touch when a top 55 protected pick doesn't seems like a ridiculous loophole

    So if that's everything, then good for Wright in not having to cut or asset attach trade Champagnie, Wesley or Branham.

    PATFO suuuuucks! They didn’t do exactly what I waaaaanted!

    -ST

    Top notch transaction.
    This is so tired man. Very few people have disliked this deal. You guys have to stop assigning an opinion to the hundreds of people here just because you don't like it. Its beyond ing annoying and only you weird homers who never want to say anything bad about the Spurs do it.

    Oh I would have loved for them to be able to attach Wesley or Branham but I suspect they didn't want them. It really doubt it was because the Spurs were dying to keep them.

    Keeping Champ is good though. I'm hopeful he can hit some 3s in a better offense.

    EDIT: N/M I think I misread your point. You meant its good taht they didn't have to send off a pick to dump Wesley or Branham right? If so then yeah, agreed.

    The issue with Bassey coming back is the team needs center depth and he should still be out with his injury. I guess with Gray gone, there's a two-way spot they can use. But it'll have to be on an actual third-dtring center.
    The injury happened December 10, 2023 so I'd expect him to be back before November, outside of complications. As long as Bassey is back, I'm pretty happy with this trade. Bassey is a really good backup C that is also a good complement to Wemby.

    Wow, they protected Champ. He was very likely to get nabbed given his contract.

    It's very likely Bassey is not picked up and they can sign him again.

    I didn’t assign it to just this trade. There's a loud 50% Manny who hate PATFO.

    Excellent, this means they didn’t have to send out another 2nd either?? Fantastic trade, Graham, Bassey (w/ability to resign) & NOLA 25-2 for Barnes & an unprotected swap.

    So:
    - Paul took less than $11M to make the deal work.
    - Barnes renounced to his trade bonus to make the deal work.
    - Second round picks Chicago is getting are coming from Sacramento.
    - Using Gray to make the touch rule work is damn smart.


    What a great trade...
    One thing about the Spurs culture respected by every agent is they try very hard to accommodate their guys. It sometimes hurts them short-term, but can reap big benefits. This offseason Graham, CP3, Barnes all did them a solid, the agents know the Spurs will pay it back when called upon. Also, state income tax is a nice fringe benefit here.

    Does anyone know if Spurs can reinstate Barnes kicker if they end up moving him down the road??

    So 2 open roster spots full time in addition to the open 2-ways. Im guessing Mamu + Bassey for those spots is most likely? Really happy SA got to keep Julian.
    I would really like to see Mamu in a beautiful game O with Vic-Paul-Castle for 12-18mpg

    great trade by Brian Wright. He's great when it comes to flipping contracts and cap space into assets.

    - So much for the big purge.

    - In terms of third center, presuming Bassey clears waivers and based on a typical ACL recovery timeline, opening night is probably pushing it, but it's close enough to not have to utilize a standard contract on one (especially if an emergency option like Mamukelasvhili is re-signed).

    - Barlow has always come across as something of a malcontent (plus he lacks the girth/rebounding they need), so I get the sense it won't be him in the unlikely event Bassey is claimed.

    - If necessary, Yurtseven and Biyombo seem the most likely alternatives.

    Waiving champ would have been messed up. I don’t like him as a starter but he earned his chance to be here.

    Assuming he keeps number 40, Barnes will be the 16th Spur to wear that number.

    Willie Anderson certainly the most accomplished of the bunch, but here are others who have donned the 4-0

    Gary Bradds 1971
    Len Chappell 1972
    Ansley Truitt 1973
    Jerry Chambers 1974
    Collis Temple 1975
    Sylvester Norris 1980
    Dave Corzine 1981-1982
    Mike Brittain 1986-1987
    Kurt Nimphius 1988
    Willie Anderson 1989-1995
    Joe Courtney 1997
    Sean Marks 2006
    Kurt Thomas 2008-2009
    Boban Marjanović 2016
    Tyler Zeller 2020

    They added 3 new rotation players and could possibly add more with the room exception. I don't know how much more of a change y'all expected but that is pretty much what anyone should have expected.

    I clearly meant in relation to this transaction. Champagnie, Bassey, Branham, Wesley and Cissoko were all rumored to be possible collateral damage. In the end, only Bassey was maybe sacrificed.
