    I can’t name a single bucket getter coming off the bench from the current roster. RJ would be a good acquisition to replace Vassell.

    I don't know why we would want to trade for RJ Barrett. Not that I believe it's real, cause it comes from one random guy on twitter, but he's signed for another 2 years of 28 and 29.5 million.

    The only players you could package for him are Devin, Keldon or Barnes + Branham or Wesley. He doesn't shoot nor defend better than Devin. For Keldon or Barnes cool, but I'm not sending out a first round pick for him.

    Also not sure how many gay pros utes are available in San Antonio, since he's into that.
    What's the pros ute thing? First I've heard of it, but then again, never really followed Toronto at all. I doubt the Spurs would ever trade for him if that is true, or is it just some kind of unfounded rumour?

    See, the guy who discovered Franz Wagner likes RJ too.

    the problem is he's a worse 3-point shooter and defender than Devin. He's also a below 70% freethrow shooter. It seems like Toronto just wants to get rid of his contract and is not expecting a first in return. So if you can get him for a lowball offer as a 6th man, maybe. But then you could also just flat out sign Kuminga for half the money.

    well there was some dude online who said RJ owes him 17k for ing him and named his accountant, showed Cash App payments etc. and then some folks followed it up with a fake snapchat account and he wanted to meet up and paid them too...

    How much money is Kuminga likely to command?

    Wow, never heard of that rumor. When you say some people followed it up, do you mean they made a fake account and RJ was trying to meetup with them too, or was it the guy that says RJ owed money to him that was trying to meet up with the fake account people? I'd look it up myself, but not really something I want to lookup.

    Yup, that part. Kuminga should be gettable for the MLE, 14 million.

    This would be an all time bag fumbling after rejecting $150 mil from GS last summer. Dennis Shroeder-esque.

    At MLE I expect GS to match, even if Kerr hates him. Just to save face if nothing else.

    Probably a sign and trade candidate for a dumb team like Chicago or Sacramento.

    Golden State wants to sign and trade him, but there is no team offering him that type of contract. MLE money or maybe slightly over the MLE is the max amount he'll get. Only Brooklyn has enough cap space and reports say they don't want him.

    RJ is an interesting player for us, I'm not sure how I'd feel about him on his current contract. Another problem is what it'll take to get him. Keldon + Vassell for RJ straight up enough? Even then I'm not sure I want that lol

    Hear me out...

    If you think Devin needs to go to the bench based on how the rest of the team is going to come together after drafting Harper... Devin for RJ wouldn't be a terrible move. RJ would be a good 6th man scorer (just like Devin would). Their salaries are about the same, but RJ saves you two years.

    This isn't the kind of move that would get too many people excited... but it wouldn't be a terrible one, IMO.

    With that said, I'm not sure why TOR does this. They have a logjam of this kind of player, and swapping RJ for Devin just ties up two more years of salary for them. I suppose it does give them more shooting... but are they looking to give /Walter minutes to Devin? I get why TOR would be interested in moving off RJ... but certainly not to add another SG with a similar, but longer, contract.

    The salary floor is definitely an interesting wrinkle, but they do have a couple of RFAs who they are likely to extend (Cam Thomas, Zaire Williams, Dayron Sharpe) and my guess is that if they don't get free agents they'll look to rent out their cap space (much like we did) which means getting assets, not sending them out.

    I think a more realistic trade would be Devin + 14 for Cam Johnson... but I don't think I do that if I'm the Spurs. I rate Devin and Cam about equally and while Cam is a better fit for us, I'm not paying a FRP for a better fit.

    If Dev for 19 + 27 were on the table, I'd do it and then look to flip those picks for future assets, but I'm thinking it might be hard to do so. I think we wouldn't have much leverage in trying to get out of the excess picks because opposing teams know we aren't taking 4 FRPs (and they probably know we might not even want to make 2). I think the same is going to be true with BKN, so in that case a team might be able to get one of those last two picks for pretty cheap, relatively speaking... and BKN still has #36 after that as well.

    In trying to think of ways to use BKN to offload Devin and get some decent value back... what about:

    BKN gets Devin, PG13, #3
    PHI gets #8, Cam Johnson
    SAS gets #19, Noah Clowney

    This fails the trade machine... but I thought BKN could take these guys back into cap space so I'm not sure what's going on there.

    I'm also not sure that we are needed for this deal... BKN and PHI could just do this without us
    In thinking about it:

    How would you feel about 14 + Dev for Cam + 19 + 26

    BKY gets the younger guard under contract + the move up into additional lottery pick. Spurs get out of possible guard logjam (if they are taking Harper, and now have Fox, Castle and Harper)

    Dev for Cam seems more than fair to me (I value Dev more than Cam due to age and overall upside) and BKY give up pick 26 to move from 19 to 14?

    Devin and RJ have almost identical 2025-26 salaries (27.7 for RJ, 27.0 for Devin). Devin + Keldon would be too much salary.

    Remaining salaries for each player:

    Devin: 27/27/24.6/27
    RJ: 27.7/29.6

    Maybe we could get /Walter out of this trade? RJ + /Walter for Devin + Malaki works.

    I would personally do it, but I'm not sure the Spurs would.

    Reasons I would do it:

    -I rate Devin and Cam about equally (ignoring age. I think when you factor age in - you have to give Devin the nod), but Cam fits better in our roster and saves us long term money.
    -I like the back half of this first round quite a bit... so I would naturally want two bites in this range rather than just the one at 14.

    Reasons I don't think the Spurs would do it:

    -I just have a hard time seeing them adding 3 guaranteed contracts in this draft. There is room on the roster for it, I just can't see the Spurs doing it
    -They probably feel they can get better value for Devin (and I don't necessarily disagree). I'm a "Devin hater" but I do think his value is likely higher than we like to think around here (although there are probably a limited number of teams who would be interested)

    This is an interesting scenario though. Brooklyn clearly needs to try and consolidate some of these picks and moving up makes sense for them. They could also maybe view this as an opportunity to trade out of some of these picks and add future picks though.

    At the end of the day, is Sean Marks still going to overrate Cam's market? No one is giving up two premium FRPs for this guy like they want.

    Are we adding draft capital? Or do we think TOR is just that high on Vassell? What is TOR's motivation for this?

    And then aren't we just creating more of a guard logjam? I don't see either of or Walter as capable of being viable option at SF. I'm a fan of Grady. Would have loved to pick him up in a pre-Harper world.

    There’s rumors of BKY wanting to move up into another lottery pick if they can’t get into top 3. If that’s true and they can consolidate 2 non-lottery picks for one more lottery that does it and here they get a younger better player for their troubles and its only 2 more years of salary for them which they wont mind since Dev is younger (and better). So whether BKY wants to keep Cam asking price high, I dont see how they wouldn’t view Dev as better than Cam and still getting to hold onto a “tradeable asset” in Dev instead of Cam while moving up into lottery again.

    This helps SA now with positions and now SA can trade Barnes hopefully for a future first as well since Cam is here. That allows them to do so now vs having Dev and not being able to trade Barnes if opportunity arises due to roster considerations which makes this trade make more sense for SA IMO
