Ideally...
But Mitch is already lost with too many players at his disposal apparently.
Spurs need a proper coach first a foremost
You want Wemby to wait for Sochan and Cie to be ready??
Wemby was ready last season and everyday that passes is a waste of time
He should be surrounded by players that elevate him, not drown him

There are just more options available. More teams know their goals. More players are available. Look I would welcome Cam Johnson, just how many picks do you want to just give now? Sure Collins for Cam works contact wise, but boy that is some picks to make it work.
Brooklyn wants at least 2 firsts for him
Two firsts because no contender can offer good FRPs...unless OKC decides they want Cam.
I'd say that one good FRP beats a couple of late round FRPs.
Nobody going to offer 2 unprotected for a role player.
let's give a first and 1-2 second
LOL our front office sux. Recently saw a post either here or on X saying it would take trading Vassell for FinneySmith. Wonder if that was a burner account for our GM.
I'm with you on Cam Johnson - not worth spending a bunch of picks on right now. I think we're probably pretty aligned on the overall premise, I just don't think we should have set in our mind that it shouldn't happen now, or that the offseason will necessarily present a bunch of new opportunities. We should be proactively trying to find the right moves that improve the team. They may be now. They may be in the offseason. I'm good with both. I just don't think we should expect magical things to happen if we just wait until the offseason.
If we're looking to spend FRPs, it needs to be for the second option first. Then we can add complementary pieces.
Yeah, Cam Johnson fits any roster, but he's not going to be the difference maker if the roster sucks.
We either need small moves to fix immediate needs like a backup big or we need a legit scorer if we're to compete this season.
What does Utah want for Collins and/or Sexton?
I think they'd be fine with that Timberwolves pick and swap we got. Utah owns their entire draft future up until 20131 except for those two. Ainge surely wants to complete the collection.
Collins and Sexton make $45M combined.
Collins, Keldon and Tre make $45M combined.
Add MIN FRP and swap and I think the deal can be made.
They'd even have $9M less in salaries next season and they can probably get something for Tre at the deadline.
The only extra salary they'd take would be Keldon's $17M for 26-27 season.
I'd seriously consider that... its the kind of low-key move that helps us this year and keeps our options open going forward...
John Collins would enable a 3 man PF/C rotation, he'd be able to play with both Wemby and Jeremy.
Sexton would be a way better fit with both CP3 and Castle than Tre because he can actually shoot, score and get to the rim.
It's just that we can talk about these moves all day, but nothing will happen.
I agree with your previous post that we should either focus on small moves or that second option first - going after Collins and Sexton would seemingly fly in the face of that and I wouldn't love those moves, even though they'd make our team incrementally better. IMO, those are the kind of "too small to be big but too big to be small" kinds of moves we should avoid right now.
Imo, someone like Cam would be a great upgrade, but we can manage with Champ and Barnes.
But we can't manage without another good big and without a perimeter player who can take the ball and somewhat reliably score at will. Devin should be that player in theory, but we see how that's going.
Those two fit our two biggest needs and wouldn't cost much, we'd also get rid of two negative contracts in our rotation.
Assuming CP3 isn't here the next season, we'd be set up pretty well for it:
Castle/Sexton
Devin/?
Champagnie/?
Barnes/Jeremy
Wemby/Collins
That's a solid 8 man rotation with Bassey playing depending on the matchup. Branham, Sidy and Wesley probably stay as third stringers.
Then we hopefully get NAW in free agency and draft a Champagnie upgrade.
That's a poverty 25-26 rotation with no major moves since PATFO are so reluctant to make them.
Honestly I'd be pretty disappointed if that was our team going into next season. I think you were correct in your previous post that a bigger move for that #2 guy needs to be our top priority. The MIN pick and swap are too high of a cost to address backup C and backup guard right now, IMO. Spend seconds to get Jonas, moves like that if you aren't going big.
Agree
You don't want to send out first round picks for backups to what the Spurs currently already have.
That’s not what the market is. Brooklyn has set the price as multiple SRPs, and that’s for good rotation pieces like Schröder and DFS.
The specific hypothetical being addressed here is two FRPs plus Keldon, Zollins and Tre for John Jollins and Colin Sexton. I'm way out on that deal, and it sounds like rascal is too.
Me, three.
That’s an atrocious deal. Like what’s the point other than to say you made a trade?
Sexton and Collins were very available in the past for the Spurs and the organization didn’t pursue either.
I wonder what Vassell's realistic trade value is right now. I imagine it can't be very high. Would be selling low on him tbh.
