Spurs trade ideas

[mo7888]

I don't hate it either. Not sure about the Barrett talk though. I really don't value him all that much.

I'd only take RJ in a deal that give us another asset like /Walter/ or a future unprotected 1st.

[LeBowen]

[Charania] There was mutual interest between the Spurs and Kevin Durant at the trade deadline

Interesting, wouldn't surprise me if Spurs still consider him as an option if the price is low enough.
Suns have no SPRs from 2027 to 2031, my best offer would be Devin, Keldon, Wesley and 5 SRPs.

If he's that cheap you have to do that deal..

He's not, but Suns can't ask for much.
37, expiring contract, already asked out.

I wouldn't even give them #14, tbh.
Maybe I'd include Jeremy instead of Wesley.

I doubt it would be for Devin (if we are even interested). I'd assume it's either Barnes cause he's expiring or maybe even Keldon plus Branham or Wesley. Seems like Toronto just wants to get rid of that salary. That being said the whole deal doesn't make much sense to me, unless you get dude for pennies.

Makes sense for TOR to be off RJ's contract... but what would be our incentive to trade Barnes' expiring for RJ's 2 yeas? Doesn't make sense from a basketball or cap logic POV either way. RJ for Devin is the only one that makes sense from our POV (IMO)... but doesn't really make sense for TOR.

I put this one in the "make sure you list San Antonio as an interested party for every player we write about" bucket. Maybe it's an inside joke amongst NBA journos.

AVC has us trading Vassell for Collins straight up

That makes no sense for Phoenix, they already have Booker and Beal, they don't need Vassell. Also, 5 SRPs is way too low. For this to happen you probably need to include 14 as well (or at least one future pick), plus find a third team who is willing to give Phoenix something back that they can use now, plus probably Sochan. Is that too much? Yeah, probably, but you're not going to get KD for less, which is why I don't see him on the Spurs.

Shams has spoken with Wembananas good to go, Giannis and KD is in play don't be attached to Scoot 2.0.

Re we didn't give up Castle for Fox and you think we'd give him or #2 up for KD?

They can reroute Vassell elsewhere, that's my "I don't want KD, but if the price is that low..." offer.

Yeah if the Spurs can get Giannis or KD for 50 cents on the dollars they'll do it. I am not holding my breath for either of them.

More realistically I am really hoping for a John Collins trade.

KD is pretty much perfect from a fit standpoint and I think he still has 2-3 years of juice left in the tank. However, I think the asking price will be steeper than what others in here are implying and I’m not sure the Spurs will (nor should) be willing to pay up for him. As great of a fit as he’d be it’s not like he turns us into a contender next year and the future beyond that is pretty murky.

I think Giannis is more likely. Fit is way worse and will require us to give up more but at least with Giannis you’re looking at a likely 3-5 year window.

All this being said, I think both of these trade scenarios are very unlikely. I suspect the Spurs will be a hot name in rumors just based on the assets we have and media wanting to pitch the idea of Wemby+Giannis or Wemby+KD…but I just don’t see SA trying to accelerate our timeline like that.

[rankingtear]

Why are people too attached to Scoot, when best case scenario he is replace Fox in 4-5 years. Him and his agent would ask out way before then, this isn't 2K there are egos and agendas no top lead guard wants to buried for years.

Sure. But financially you get to the same place.

I just hope OKC players start to sign deals at discounts. I mean signing for 160mil rather than 190mil, money is so ridicolous in todays NBA

[RC_Drunkford]

I assume it's for a higher pick, but if they want 14 for Cam Johnson and 2 late firsts, you do that deal.

I'm down to get KD as long as we don't give up a lot and they can work out a reasonable extension that doesn't mess up our cap.

[TD 21]

The only way I could see Durant to the Spurs would be something like this . . .

To Nets: 2, Vassell, (Keldon) Johnson
To Suns: 14, 19, (Cam) Johnson, Claxton
To Spurs: Durant, 8, 26

Then we're not getting KD

[RC_Drunkford]

[vy65]

KD is on a ~$54MM expiring and is going to turn 37 right before the season starts. There is absolutely no love lost between him and the Phoenix front office as he was shopped during last years trade deadline. While KD does have some value still, the idea that he'd be worth a lotto pick + a mid FRP + 2 much younger players with positive value is insane. His market is much closer to what many have alluded to here: 1 FRP (they'd be lucky to get a low lotto pick) matching salary + serviceable players.

Yeah I think KD will cost too much but I do see how he will fit like a glove next to Wemby. I just don't see the Suns trading KD for a substantial loss and there will undoubtably be another team that will overpay for him.

Keldon/Vassell +14/2026 Atlanta pick Swap?

Would you guys do it? I'm dangling the Atlanta pick as the East seems very very weak next year.

I don't know why anyone thinks Phoenix is going to get anything approaching the asking price they floated out a month ago.
