I like #2 a lot, but probably because I'm very interested in Coward and my feelings on Devin are known.
I would sign Guerschon Yabusele and Brook Lopez as free agents. Send Johnson packing to Memphis for Kennard. Trade helps both teams regarding need. Maybe toss in a second round pick. Keep Vassel around to develop Harper. See where we are next year on trading Vassel and Sochan.

I would do that if Giannis is 27.
Not now. He will have negative value in year 3 or even 2.
Big players with his mileage start to have injuries after 31 or 32.
Crazy Trade Idea of the Day
Celtics start the process of shedding salary, pick up a pick and some swaps in the process, but lose an FRP to SA for facilitating. They do get a serviceable guard in Vassell and a capable big in Carter Jr.
ORL goes "all in" for a semi-star to pair with Paolo and Franz, costing them only some swaps, mostly to BOS but one to SA
Spurs move off Vassell's long term money for the two remaining years of KCP and Goga. The Swap we had previously from BOS turns into a pick, and we get another swap in 2031 from ORL.
This would put Orlando for 150 mil for 3 players who are ball dominant winger.
Agree on both, especially on Lopez. I'm surprised his name doesn't come up more with the Spurs. Reliable 3-point shooter and rim protector. Probably could extend his career a few more years by being a good backup. Lakers will probably go hard at him, but the Spurs could offer him more.
Philly. PG13's contract is horrible but not so horrible you throw away the #3 pick to get off it, especially with Embiid's productive career likely over.
I mean if everything turns out right we are 3 years away from 3 of our top 4 players being ball dominant point guards...
Uncle Mickey will write the checks!
If Ace was more of a sure thing I'd agree, but is he really a sure fire thing there? Here at least they still get a chance at drafting something decent at 14 (Fleming, Bryant, Denim, Essengue, etc.), and our guys would theoretically give them more than George did around Embiid.
Maxey
Dev
Keldon
Yabu
Embiid
Assuming health, that team gets into the playoffs in the LEast next season.
isnt this a stepien violation for boston?
I agree with the assessment of TMlll as a role player, but that's exactly the position he'd fill alongside Wemby, Fox, Castle, etc... I wouldn't hold it against him that the Pelicans didn't thrive after all of their injuries forced him to be the leader in minutes on the team.
I wouldn't draft Ace; I'd pick VJ at #3 in their shoes.
Sure enough, this would be because their 2029 pick is going to POR or WAS. Weird that Spotrac let me do this, they're usually on top of things.
Good point... at some point, one of Fox, Castle or Harper (and maybe two of them) will either need to be a role player themselves or be off the team. With that said, I am also of the mindset that we should be focused on acquiring star-capable talent, and letting the chips fall where they may. I think it's premature to assume Castle will be a star, so adding more star potential in Harper makes a ton of sense.
I loved Trey Murphy and Deni Avdija the past couple of years, but got shot down here. Trey was coming back from injury and Washington was pivoting to a tank, perfect buy low opportunity, too bad Spurs didn't see that at the time. Now one player I like who I think has potential and may be had is Jarace Walker, shooting and playmaking potential, strong build, crazy wingspan. Indiana is deep enough Jarace is somewhat hidden, but they could use a versatile defender like Sochan and better hide his offensive shortcomings. If Spurs don't love anyone at 14, I might offer Sochan + 14 for Jarace Walker + 23
You've got mo7888 and me already in the Jarace Walker fanclub. Free Jarace!
I don't like watching Naz Reid play basketball. At one point I thought I wanted him as a Spur. He's been exposed in these Playoffs. Terribly soft defender and even softer on the boards at 6'10. Only good if he's wide open from 3 and even then he's streaky. Not worth nearly the money he's going to command tbh.
Deni Avdja was salary dumped to Portland, and May be nothing but a tank commander.
He's f-ing horrible. No way to I want him at all now.
what? he was absolutely NOT salary dumped, he has one of the best value contracts in the league. And I don't think you've been watching Deni much for the past couple of years, if that's what you think of him. He's been so far ahead of any forward we currently have, it's not even funny. It's probably in this very thread.
Yes! Yes!
Not interested in Naz Reid, Yabusle now that I've had a closer look at them. Not sure about Bobby Portis (a lot of people say the Spurs won't sign him due to character not fitting the Spurs culture?) or Clint Capela as I haven't taken a closer look at them. Clint Capela is definitely interesting, though. Was he injured towards the end of the season?
I kind of like a guy who I always used to confuse with Bobby Portis, Chris Boucher from TOR, as a potential backup big... but he may like playing at home in Canada.
