we like what we have
In my ideal scenario, Champ is our starting 3 and Huerter is the backup 2, for now. We then draft a long-term starting 3, at which point Champ moves to the backup 3.
Can never have enough shooting.
I'm not sure what is worth more these days: a lottery-protected FRP from a team that should be drafting in the 20s from '27 through '33 or '34, or three SRPs we own from other teams. Some front offices might prefer the latter. There is very little difference between a player drafted at 25 and one drafted at 35. Additionally, the contracts for players selected via SRP might be more team-friendly.
The thing I'm most interested about is what they're planning to do with all those SRPs.
We all know about guaranteed 2, maybe 4 FRPs in 2024 and ATL swap in 2026, but the number of SRPs is just ridiculous in 2026.
We got own and CHI in 2025, with 5 guaranteed SRPs in 2026. Those have to be used for something over the upcoming year.
Own, UTA, NOP/POR, IND/MIA, OKC/DAL/PHI SRPs, all unprotected.
Technically true, but on all of those combo picks, we get the worst of two or three picks. Unprotected,but the pick we wind up with is an unprotected #53 or some .
Own, UTA, NOP/POR will all likely be in 35-45 range, IND/MIA in 45-50 and the last one will probably be garbage.
Still, we got way too many SRPs and they should be used when solid rotation players become available.
Knowing PATFO, they'll probably just kick some of those down the road.

That's how I see the I won't say long, but mid-term roster as of now.
If we're to actually win some games this year, I'd use those SRPs to move Collins and get an actual backup big.
We won't draft all the question marks we need and we don't want to overpay mediocre players in free agency.
imo picks in the 50s are best used on very young overseas players with no intention of coming to the US unless they happen to make several leaps. No sense picking a player at #55 that would try to force their way onto a roster, or barring that force the Spurs to forfeit their rights.
The Spurs are once again leaders in innovation, and are now using picks in the 30s to do this!
Would love to hear any and all ideas that get Keldon and Collins off this team.
Keldon + a future pick for Cam Johnson? Gives SA a legit shooter on a similar deal to Keldon which also give SA a Sochan lineup option (Cam in for Sochan if need be) to eliminate teams so easily being able to sag off Sochan and have others guard Wemby.
We have 3 SRPs this year: our, CHI, and PELs. Should have good value actually.
Unfortunately, that's the the type of trade they'd never do as it'd likely piss off Keldon & Klutch tbh.
Build a time machine and trade Keldon last summer when he might have had some value. Or even better summer before last when he could have probably gotten you a mid first round pick that could have been flipped into a 20030 first.
Those two and the cupboard for disgruntled Giannis?
Alternatively, those for the corpse of Middleton and picks from MIL?
Spurs don’t have the NO second anymore after trading it to Charlotte with Graham’s contract.
The Middleton idea is tempting. He’d at least be another vet presence who wouldn’t play like a complete moron (when he is able to play), but he’s definitely picking up that $31MM player option for next year.
Does MIL even have any picks to trade?
Giannis of course I’d be in on… but doesn’t seem like a Spursy trade, even if I think Giannis is kind of a Spursy player.
you think you're getting picks on top of middleton for keldon/zollins?
we'd be the ones having to attach assets to get that deal done
All depends on his prognosis, tbh, which I admit I don’t know what it is… or honestly even what his injury is.
we'd be the ones having to attach assets to get that deal done
If he’s toast, he’s just $60MM on the books for nothing for whoever has him.
If this is just temporary, yeah, we’d be the ones who had to add picks.
He wouldnt be picking. He would agree on 3 yrs deal for declining this option. Something like, decline 34 mil, but agree for 3x25 mil, which would net him additional 40 mil, money he wouldn't be getting as 35 yo UFA.
But Bucks are not trading him for Collins, Branham, Wesley, Keldon or whoever else would be part of package.
if he's toast, why are we even talking about trading for him?
I refer you back to my primary objective… getting Keldon and Collins off the roster.
Well I don’t even want him next year on his $31MM option, let alone for 3 more years for $75MM. So I guess I’m out.
Any of them could go 1 for 1 in trade for guy like Kuzma, Cam Johnson. Thinking of tanking team, or teams looking to unload some longer deal, to clear cap earlier. But i dont know about availability of those guys but doubt both are in long term plans. Spurs could add SRPs if thats even remotely close what they are looking for
Pels pick is in 2026 according to realgm’s future picks page.
MIL doesn’t have a clean pick until 20131.
