I'm not interested in this clown. He turned the Spurs down whatever year that was (2016)? Why take a much older version?
I wish I knew how to put Mitch's face on a gif of one of the Martians in Mars Attacks!.
It just seems appropriate right now.

Even worse, they got a really good coach fired to bring in a really bad one in Nash
Good point against Durant though, I completely forgot about that. that old man.
I'd rather trade for Lauri tbh
I don't know if I was CEO of the Get Lauri club last offseason, but I was definitely on the Board of Directors... but I kind of feel like the Lauri ship is sailing. His game does fit very well offensively as a 4th option off ball shooter, but we need that guy to also be a plus defender and Lauri is an atrocious defender.
There are definitely ways to make it work from a money perspective but it will be painful and not worth it, IMO. Definitely can't see us paying $50MM/yr for an off-the-ball shooter.
RIP #LauriThread2025
I rather get 2-3 gold role players
Yeah these dudes are toast
Markkanen is one of the worst contracts in the league now.
Yeah, if Danny was hoping to cash out on him high, he kinda stepped on his own .
Doubt KD will want to come here but crazier things have happened.
Dusty Garza is stealing our ideas, tbh.
I don't see Durant as a Spur for several reasons.
Durant's up and down at ude and dope smoking don't seem like traits the Spurs will want around Wemby.
He's too old to be part of a long-term plan and won't put us in the championship run next season.
I'd rather have Naz Reid, Rasheer Fleming and more flexibility to round out the roster.
This would be exactly the kind of place KD would want to come: a team where he'll get a ton of credit for making them into a contender after missing the playoffs for what 7 years now. A starting lineup of Fox, Castle, Barnes, Durant, and Wemby could be pretty nasty though I suppose the rebounding could be a real problem. But there is no way I'm giving up two unprotected firsts for 37 YO Durant, especially when a lot of the Spurs firsts have unprotected swaps attached to them too, which makes them even more valuable. Sorry Phoenix, if you wanted two unprotected firsts for Durant the time to get that was the deadline.
He was such an ass at the ASG, ing at an official about a no call in a game that was OVER where his team WON.
Naz would be amazing but KD might not be a bad backup plan.
realistically, how many years does KD have left in his career? (genuinely curious)
Probably two star level years and then a year or two of uber-skilled role player like CP3 is now.
KD is going to want something like a two year $120 million extension on top of the $54 million he makes next year. So the deal I'd be looking to make with Phoenix would be the lesser 2025 first and the matching salary of Vassell + Keldon and some seconds. I think these are the kind of deals Phoenix is going to be looking at this summer for Durant.
Spurs know he likes to smoke weed and they tried to sign him anyway. Spurs always been a retirement home for former stars on their way out.
Like I mentioned earlier, he’s an expiring - so yes I would do it in order to move that awful Vassell contract.
You don’t get him to be an expiring contract. You kind of plan on a short extension, so you’re not really getting off any money.
I'd send them the ATL pick this year (assuming it's not Top 4), a handful of seconds, and the bums listed in the article and that's about it for me. It's too short sighted of a move for my liking. I'd be excited for it for the 2 years it lasts, but I'd worried there aren't enough touches to go around and it results in a disgruntled Castle looking for another opportunity around the time KD is leaving. Admittedly, I have no reason to believe Castle would become disgruntled, that's just my fear. I don't think he's a diva, but I do think he's driven to be great and it is hard to do that as a 4th option.
Fox News "exploring trade scenarios" is about as meaningful as me talking about it with my dumbass cat (she's more of a tennis fan anyways).
I hate that pure speculation by people completely removed the situation counts as news these days. Dude's are basically throwing ty trades into the Trade Machine and seeing what sticks.
Castle still gotta earn his touches, don't want to baby him like they tried with Branham. KD will age out of that featured offensive option role and by Year 3 I imagine he'll be more the spot up shooter on the perimeter living fat off Castle's drives.
Castle is struggling to get the touches he deserves this year (until recently), and he's only had to compete against an ancient Chris Paul and Devin Vassell's masonry company for them. Would be a lot tougher when Wemby, KD and Fox are being fed.
If you can get Durant no matter how old he is and he wants to play here you do it. Durant, Fox and Castle alone is good enough to make the playoffs.
