Spurs trade ideas

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

I'd trade Keldon+worse of '25 ATL/SAS for Cam.
I wouldn't trade Barnes because it would solve nothing, Cam would just replace Barnes in the rotation and Keldon would still be ruining games.
We need to get rid of Keldon and we need one more legit wing shooter.

This would be my offer as well but Brooklyn already have 4 FRPs in 2025, so they may not want a 5th. Still, it might be one of the better offers they'd get because one pick in the 11-16 range is better than 2 picks in the 25-30 range from a team like Memphis, for example.

Any trade for Cam that leaves Keldon on the team to get minutes is a losing trade, tbh

For the record I would prefer trading away KJ too but it looks like the Nets want to make a run in 2026 free agency so Barnes goes instead.

Maybe they can find a third team to take KJ and everyone gets what they want.

Sure - Im just not sure “how much” worse and they got better for next season and beyond IMO with better cap situation and a few more draft assets. But I doubt they stay a luxury tax team for this right? Someone will be moved im guessing

They've been trying to move Capela forever, I wonder if this is his time. Cody Zellner in a straight dump seems like the obvious choice though. I hope they dump Capela or Bogi to help our pick. I would love if we picked up Nance from them for that backup big. Only 45 minutes though, I'm not sure we're getting that big.

[LeBowen]

Cam Johnson isn't a wing bro.

What? Are you serious? Alright, I'm done.

Not sure about the Barnes emotional investment stuff. He's been here for half a season as a role player on a 500ish team and turns 33 at the end of the season with his contract expiring at the end of the next season. I understand getting invested in guys like Dev/Sochan/KJ since they were drafted and developed by the Spurs but Barnes is a very odd case.

Goddamn it you're actually re ed.
I'm not invested in Barnes, I just want ing Keldon off the team.
Barnes is a positive contributor and shoots 3pt 6% better than anyone else on the roster, that's a massive difference.
I don't care if he's 27 or 32, he's a positive contributor. Keldon isn't.

The only emotionally invested party in this is Spurs coaching staff that doesn't have the balls to DNP useless Keldon and the only way to stop him from ruining games is a trade.

Fun exercise (for the next few minutes), if a third party gets involved and the Spurs send out Hawk picks, who gets Trae Young, and what could the Spurs get?

Cam Johnson isn't a wing bro. You're probably thinking of Cam Thomas.

Cam Johnson is definitely a wing. Cam Thomas is a midget guard.

Never heard of the guy.

[montgod]

Demand a trade Trae!

I wish he had... way too late now sigh

[Guru of Nothing]

Maybe ATL wants to take a chance on Zion?

[scott]

Never heard of the guy.

He's legit.

[stephen jackson]

im way happier with fox than trae

Good trade by ATL. Saves them 2M and likely gets them back under Luxury Tax and they get more picks for doing so and Bogdan wasn’t in rotation anyways.

Off season….He is due a massive extension and if he tells ATL he wants to win and wont sign one they will be forced to trade him

im not in favor of a Cam trade given what his price appears to be (nets overplaying their hand imo)... but if we do, yeah, keldon 100% has to go

Hunter should set market for Cam: 3 2nds + swap

They aren't getting picks, they're sending picks away. I don't like either of their moves. Good for the Spurs though. Now if they trade Trae to Orlando for Suggs and Isaac or something that'd be great.

I would love if we picked up Nance from them for that backup big. Only 45 minutes though, I'm not sure we're getting that big.

Bogdan moved,but he wasn’t playing or helping ATL anyways, but that’s how they get under tax. 3 more 2nds and Mann is a player they likely use more than they were Bogdan?

[LeBowen]

Can we please just fleece the Bulls again and send Keldon+SRPs for Vucevic?

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

A terrible move by the Hawks probably doesn't move the needle for Sean Marks's evaluation, but we'll soon find out probably.

Honestly I'd rather have Jalen Smith than Vooch if we are looting the Bulls for our backup C

Oh man, I misread that. I thought they got 3 2nds. I guess they had to pay to get off Bogdan and get under luxury tax. Basketball wise though this helps them more than hurts since Mann likely has a role whereas Bogdan had none.

BKY not moving Cam then shows they were being unreasonable; fair enough to them but doesnt make sense to me

[Seventyniner]

Chris Haynes reports that Trae Young really wants to win and that the Spurs had him on their radar before trading for De’Aaron Fox

Interesting.

To me the more interesting part was when Haynes said that the Spurs were still planning on slow-walking the roster build until Fox fell into their laps.

That is very interesting, especially coupled with Wemby's comments on the trade and how it showing that the FO knows not to be late with the next steps. To me I took that as Wemby saying it's time for the next step NOW. Thankfully it all worked out to the best way imaginable.
