Spurs Trade for (and waive) Jalen McDaniels

[spurraider21]

[jeebus]

He gone.

[spurraider21]

[szkorhetz]

Why waive him?
I kind of like the small glimpses I have seen him last year.

[spurraider21]

guess we just used the room exception to bring him in and waive him in exchange for the draft compensation. i was kinda hoping this was a branham trade

[Leetonidas]

Spurs Twitter: welcome Jalen!

Spurs Twitter 5 mins later: Thank you Jalen!

[LeBowen]

Damn, almost got me.

I still think we could potentially give those picks back to Minnesota for the other McDaniels next summer because even if they get rid of Randle, their cap situation will still be bad and they'll need to extend Naz.

[baseline bum]

Got excited for a second thinking the Spurs got Jaden McDaniels in an a Minnesota fire sale.

[heyheymymy]

Lol I had 3 heart attacks

I thought it said Jaden, then I thought they waived Jaden, then I realized it was just Jalen.

[spurraider21]

So... Sacto traded 2 SRPs attached to Davion Mitc in exchange for McDaniels to create the cap room necessary to execute the Derozan trade, and now are trading an additional SRP to offload McDaniels as well

[spurraider21]

[LeBowen]

This trade brings our SRP total to *drumroll*... 18 picks in the next 6 drafts.

We like what we have.

thinking back to 2023 draft when we had the #33 overall pick in a good draft and traded it for 2 future SRPs

[jeebus]

Kings fan hated this guy cuz he sucked so of course some people on this forum want to keep him

Great, so now we need to know the second round talent in 20131 too

[Uriel]

That 20131 draft haul is gonna be so loaded.

Another SRP = another $110k in Jr's pocket down the line when he directs Wright to sell the pick

so Jr spending 4.7m to acquire and waive mcdaniels with the intent of selling the pick for 100k?

At this point Wright is running a ponzi scheme.

I missed that part.

$4.7mm seems like a high price for an SRP.

So it begs the question... what are we doing here? Helping Sacto out as a backdoor completion of the Barnes trade?

[Das Texan]

Cant wait for the tribute video.

Looking forward to the video tribute whenever he comes back.

that seems to be the going rate. similar to how much we took on for Osman, Payne, etc

as expected, its also an unprotected SRP. dont know the year though. the kings dont own their SRP in 2025, so it could be 26, 27, 29, 31
