    I guess two-ways count as touches. Seems SA kept their second-rounders then, making this off-season even weirder.
    Maybe that's why he hasn't played the Summer League yet?

    Branham, Wesley, and Cissoko are all guaranteed, and would not help with increasing cap room if waived.

    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...
    thats awesome

    if barnes waived the bonus, did cp3 still need to take less than 11 mil to allow us to skirt by without cutting champ?

    I could have sworn Sidy was partially guaranteed. Dang, he actually got a really decent contract for a rookie. I mean, not Bronny James good. But then again, I have no idea who Sidy's dad is.

    Somehow, Sidy might actually be a worse basketball player than Bronny

    yeah this second season is nearly fully guaranteed. his 3rd year is entirely non-guaranteed. he has some partial guarantee kick in during the summer and then the majority of it guarantees at the start of the season

    It is a partial, but this year is guaranteed like $1.3M out of 1.8M, so not much cap relief.

    I wonder if NOLA puts in a waiver claim on Bassey? Hurting at C tbh.

    Not fair, as the Lakers told us, Bronny earned his way, every 55 pick get multi-years guaranteed nothing to see here

    So:

    CP3/Tre/Wesley
    Vasell/Branham/Champ
    Barnes/Castle/Cissoko
    Sochan/Keldon
    Wemby/Collins

    Bring Mamu and Bassey back to complete the 3rd unit?

    Not bad, i'd say somewhere between about 35-40 wins depending on CP0's health and development of Devin/Sochan/Wemby tbh

    Im still not convinced Barnes automatically starts. That will depend on Castle’s work this summer. Could still see:

    CP3/Tre/Blake
    Dev/Champ/Malaki
    Steph/Keldon/Sidy
    Sochan/Harrison
    Wemby/Collins

    Could be nice to pick up one more Center if Bassey gets away.

    It should be a 10 man rotation (Wemby, Sochan, Dev, Castle, CP3, Tre, Barnes, Julian, Collins, Keldon) with Mamu + Branham + Blake + Bassey on the fringes.

    I think you need cap room to make a waiver claim.
    My comment was more about Champ and less about teams with or without exemptions or space to sign a player. Champ is a decent player who played a certain role for this team, certainly not the best but also not the worst on the team. He's shown enough in the last two years that I'd hate for the spurs to lose him because of salary constraints. If they did, I'm sure some team would pick him up.

    Ugghh, no kidding.

    Again, Sidy has so much stuff going for him. I just don't understand how a player can aspire to be a professional basketball player and somehow forget to learn how to shoot the ball.

    Starters: Sochan, Barnes, Wembanyama, Vassell, Paul

    Rotation: Johnson, Castle, Jones, Collins

    Spot minutes: Champagnie, Branham, Bassey?

    Deep bench/G-League: Wesley, Cissoko, Ingram (TW)

    I wonder if NOLA puts in a waiver claim on Bassey? Hurting at C tbh.
    Unlikely. They've got Theis and Missi as backups. They need a starter.

    Boban GOAT #40 tbh
    I will never forget the fans in Philly cheering on Boban as the Spurs buried The Process Sixers by 50.

    Or this one. He’s genuinely known as one of the nicest players in the league.

    Preach.

    This forum - as much as I enjoy talking Spurs basketball - is full of numerous numbskulls & trolls that just parrot each other.

    "Blake Wesley can"t pass," yet he had a good assist-to-turnover ratio & the second best assist percentage (25.3%).
    I looked it up, and Blake Wesley is nowhere to be found on the assist percentage leaders list, because he hasn't played enough to qualify.

    His assist to turnover ratio is pretty good because getting rejected in the paint just counts as a shot attempt and not a turnover.

    25-30. Paul is not making it a full season or even half as a starter.

    They’re not going to play him 35 minutes, more like 20-25. If he wants to catch on with a contender, depending on a team’s schedule, it’s 50-55 games to the trade deadline, and maybe 60 to the buyout date, I can see him playing 45ish if traded or 50ish if bought out.

    I think he meant the Spurs will only win 25-30 games on the season, at least partially due to Paul not making it through the whole season as a starter for the Spurs.

    People think Paul being bought out or traded is a given, I don’t. I think he’s exhausted from the ring chasing tbh. He will find more meaning passing the torch to young guys here as he ends his career, IMO.
