Spurs trade ideas

[CGD]

Wright looks like an idiot for having traded Zach last year right now.

Kewl and all, but who’s the center they’re acquiring via a KD trade. KAT? Bam?

[CGD]

I like this. Saves us two years of Vassell's deal and IMO RJ would be a better fit as bench scorer than Vassell or he could be our starting SF. Jakob would obviously be a fantastic backup starting C, and Keldon is superfluous at this point. Jak probably opts into his player option in 26-27.

That’s the thinking. There is also some swap your misfit for mine possibilities at the margins too if they want to expand it slightly (eg Maliki for Abaji).

Not Bam. Miami wouldn't trade Bam for Booker. Could be Porzingas in a three-team trade. Maybe Vuc. Or they can try to sign a center instead of trading for one.

I mean, he was having an objectively good year, and all.

[baseline bum]

i know ST isnt a big fan due to his salary, but if Denver wants to trade MPJ into more digestible contracts, i wonder if it could be done for Keldon + Barnes + some seconds.

Barnes gives them at least a serviceable replacement for what MPJ does while on an expiring deal, and Keldon is a reasonable salary player who they can also later trade for cap savings.there wouldnt be too much of a market for MPJ given his salary, and his contract expires before Wemby's extension would kick in

at this point MPJ is still a high end release valve offensively. he's not a defender, but its not like Barnes was doing much on that end either. and MPJ is a good rebounder at the 3, having averaged 7 per game last 2 years (barnes averaged 4 last year for us).

denver has absolutely no second round picks. every second rounder thru the 2031 draft have been traded away. they have also dealt away their 2027 and 2029 firsts. i think a handful of SRPs could be enticing to them more than other teams

Damn would that be nice, but can't see Denver doing it when even if Saric and Westbrook don't opt out they're about $7 million under the second apron with 13 roster spots filled.

This helps them salary wise. They shed a little and are filling 2 roster spots with said money instead of 1. I don’t know how hot the market will be for MPJ but we could give them 3-4 second rounders to placate

[TeKu]

Yeah honestly the idea of the Spurs being open to moving #2 makes me a little queasy... I'm hoping it's all just media speculation and fan rumors and that Brian and RC are sitting in their office watching Dylan Harper videos and reading trade proposals and laughing their asses off while Holt's niece sits in the corner designing our next ty alternate jersey with HARPER #2 on it.

Or, keeping #2 on the table (with no intention of ever moving it) widens the trade possibilities for #14/future picks as teams are willing to discuss more players.

I'd definitely make the offer and hope the owner is that desperate to get out of the first apron in a year. Just wouldn't expect to get a bite when casting that line.

[RC_Drunkford]

Vassell to Cavs
Allen and Barnes to Suns
KD to Spurs


Vassell to Nets
Claxton and Barnes to Suns
KD to Spurs

Vucevic and Porzingis are the other options. Or the Suns think they can draft a starting C with our #14 pick. Raynaud, Sorber, CMB

[Em-City]

What? He was supposed to hold onto him for the off chance there might be an article/tweet saying the Suns want a Center.

He forgot the Blue font

[RC_Drunkford]

inject this into my roster

[Kevin]

The Spurs true le contending window is still three years away in a stacked western conference. Decent chance Giannis ends up in the west which only make it more stacked.

After getting the 2nd pick the Spurs really play the long game and punt on the 14 for more future draft capitol and pass on KD. That said if all it takes is Dev/Keldon and the 14 plus second rounders I'd do it.

Behold, my masterpiece:

Suns:
FVV
2025 FRP #10
2027 FRP Best of BKN/PHX
2029 FRP Best of DAL/PHX/HOU

Rockets:
Giannis

Spurs:
KD

Bucks:
Devin Vassell
Keldon Johnson
Reed Sheppard
Jock Londale
Nate Williams
2025 FRP #14
2026 Best of SAS/ATL
2027 FRP PHX

Phoenix does it because they are getting considerable draft capital back for an expiring player. SA/Houston do it because obviously. Mil does it because they get an assortment of young players with upside (e.g., Reed) with considerable draft capital.

If Milwaukee bucks (get it) at this, then you could move one of the FRP going to PHX to them and maybe pack in some second rounders too, which would make their haul 3 young players + 4 FRP, with at least one (maybe 2, if you send them #10) lotto pick.

And if you think that Houston is getting too much out of this (which I kinda do), you can swap out Jock and Nate for Jabari Smith.

You’re trading the same pick twice.

That's weird, Fanspo is showing that double. Here's a better version:

The Spurs true le window starts in 2027. They will be fringe contenders with a punchers chance if everything goes their way next season.

Giannis won't come out west. It would be stupid. He can just stay in the East and D-Bo his way to the finals every year. My guess is he will go to the Raptors.

[LeBowen]

We're most definitely not giving up 2 FRPs for KD.
Suns have no SPRs between 2027 and 2031, expect some of ours to go their way if KD trade actually happens.

Yep, I'm taking that deal. Sign NAW and that team would make playoff noise next year.

[TekXX]

Let's see how good we are next season before estimating a " le window". I'll believe it when i see it that Wright and this F.O can open up a " le window" after what we've seen the last decade.

NAW and Jake round this roster out nicely.

Fox/Harper
Castle/NAW
LaRavia/Champ
KD/Sochan
Wemby/Okongwu

Not sure how that all looks cap wise… but that’s a nice team right there.

Im pretty sure that can be done cap-wise. I also think those are realistic pieces we could add.

That roster would be sick. Definitely turns us into a top 4 team in the West if healthy. Anyone here have B-Wright’s phone # to let him know what to do?
