Keep Barnes and replace with KJ
It’s funny how most feel we can’t make some serious noise adding KD with a healthy Wemby , Fox and company!
Keep Barnes and replace with KJ
Spur with a healthy Wemby and healthy Durant are a contender.
It’s funny, an old video from Feb announcing that Fox was on the market dropped into my feed yesterday. SA was literally the 4th team mentioned. Others were Miami and Houston. Stop me if any of this sounds familiar.
Lots of interesting things here the past few days. Has Jeremy been traded, is that why he was at the juice bar trying to connect with SA fans before leaving as a thank you, did the Spurs give him an extension number and he said he wants more or is betting on himself to earn more, is he trolling (this could be his best job yet if he is), then the person that posted about Keldon, is Keldon saying it's a done deal with KD to SA, or is Keldon saying it's a done deal and he's included in a trade? There's like so many different ways to take it.
It’s great news, if true, that Minnesota are out of the running because their rumoured offer of Gobert + Donte + 17 or Dillingham is damn good for Suns from a win-now perspective. Miami’s offer isn’t great and even if they include Ware it’s a bit meh.
Houston’s and SA’s offers probably depend on a third team where Green/Vassell would be rerouted and it’s unclear what value they can find for these two. Of course Houston can easily outbid everyone if they can include Suns picks, Jabari and Tari Eason. Their reluctance is the chance the Spurs have to use to their advantage and get the deal done on draft night.
according to a polish basketball outlet, Jeremy is in Phoenix for workouts completely unrelated to a Durant trade.
Jeremy Sochan, who, alongside Devin Vassell, Keldon Johnson and Harrison Barnes, has been mentioned as a potential element of the Spurs package, could be part of such a swap. The Polish international is now adding fuel to the fire, because on his social media he published posts with the location “Phoenix, Arizona”. This, of course, caused consternation among fans.
However, we already know that this is not related to Durant's potential transfer to the Spurs. Sochan's visit, or rather stay in Arizona, has been planned for a long time, which has already been confirmed.
"It is true that Jeremy is in Phoenix, but it is related to a long-planned trip for training purposes. Jeremy had a short vacation in May, where he also trained. Now, however, he is in a cycle of two trainings a day, because he is intensively preparing for the new NBA season and, of course, EuroBasket, which will start in Katowice at the end of August," says Michał Pacuda, responsible for Sochan's communication and marketing in Poland.
Like Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jeremy likes to play into the current narrative and play with the situation. Although his trip to Phoenix has been planned for a long time, the 22-year-old likely knew what he was doing when he posted the above photo.
His presence in Phoenix is completely unrelated to Durant's possible transfer to San Antonio, which may ultimately not happen at all or may not include Sochan. At the moment, Jeremy is preparing for EuroBasket, where the Poles will face France, Slovenia, Iceland, Belgium and Israel in the group stage.

I know you posted that just to trigger people, but that's one of the worst ideas I've ever seen.
It's just hillariously horrible.
Basically
#14+Devin for KD without the Barnes salary filler included
and
#2+Jeremy for #3+#8
Are you serious?
Are we now pretending we value Devin and Jeremy on this board?
It’s essentially #14 for Durant and #2 for #3 and #8. The Spurs do this if they don’t value Harper highly.
There comes a certain point where Harper is being a overrated and Spurs fans have passed that boundary by a mile. He isn’t a generational prospect. Durant was picked 2 while absolutely killing it in college. Harper barely did anything extraordinary. If anyone wants more value, maybe the Spurs get an additional future 1st from one of those teams.

We don't.
But Spurs do.
At least in Jeremy's case.
So the plan is to win now with KD trade, but we're taking two rookies instead of one, neither of which will be ready to contribute on high level right away?It’s essentially #14 for Durant and #2 for #3 and #8. The Spurs do this if they don’t value Harper highly.
KD is as much as a long term investment as a short term one. To put KD inside the same building as Wemby (and the other young players) every day will prove invaluable for Wemby’s career. It’s not everyday a young player gets to practice with a future HOF’er daily. Think bigger.
He wants Kon so looking for ways to make that happen.
constantly following me in every thread and caring so much about what I post like my #1 fan… what about you hop off my , racist
We're offering a late lottery pick and a couple of solid players.
We won't downgrade from another potential all-star guard just so KD can bless us with his presence.
while I want them to draft Harper, people here are acting like he's the next Michael Jordan...
I like Harper because it makes Blake, Malaki immediately expendable and no CP3 as a starter with a resigning. Cp3 gone, blake and Malaki look at this as their last season in the silver an black or are waived or traded.
Compared to what else is on the table he kind of is.
Trading #2 for future picks shouldn't even be in consideration because you don't trade a winning lottery ticket for more lottery tickets.
If we're talking current, realistic targets, who is out there? Giannis won't be traded, which all-star that fits the timeline can we get? The best and kind of only option is Murphy. Markkanen is the other one, but I'm not sure he'd be worth it on his current contract.
If we're talking about trading down in this draft, other options are way worse.
Bailey is a low IQ scorer.
VJ is a monster athlete with questionable basketball skills.
Tre Johnson could be a better version of Devin with even worse defense.
Knueppel doesn't have a high ceiling.
Queen is a no defense post scorer.
After that we're getting into territory of being able to trade up with our other pick.
I may not be the popular opinion but I’d rather have Harper than 3 and 8
This is the time of year when everyone becomes a GM and experienced NBA scout lol
nothing wrong with that. It's fun
What are Harper flaws because you didn't name any positives for any of these guys? Sounds as if Harper is a perfect player. I'll help you out...
Haper isn't super athletic. He's doesn't have a great 3pt shot and he's not highly rated defensively.
Harper's shot is questionable, but way better than Castle's was in college.
He's not a perfect player, but he's got no red flags that could cause him to be a bust.
His floor looks to be a solid starter at the very least.
Those other players I mentioned have red flags that could easily cause them to bust.
I agree with that. It's just when people think they're 100% correct and everyone else is wrong so they start with the name calling, that's what makes it laughable. These are all opinions but some people can't process that lol
