Did some more research on him and his per 36 numbers in some categories are roughly in line with some of the other guys, so I'll give him that
I just don't like Aldama near as much, could be wrong about him
Newest episode of Locked On Mavericks addressed a rumor heard from Barlowe that the Mavs were looking to trade back into the first round, and maybe shed some money while doing so.
So of course I think of 14 and matching salary (in this case Branham & Wesley, saves Mavs 4.5 million) for PJ Washington
This wasn't one of the many trade examples brainstormed on Locked On Mavericks. In fact, that show seemed convinced that other teams were really into the idea of trading their late first round picks for Olivier Maxence Prosper, the 23 year old who was drafted 24th 2 years ago and hasn't done Jack in the NBA. Wut?![]()
would be my main target if we get KD tbh. A little more mobile than John Collins and less salary coming in.
If we pulled 14 from our offer and sent Sochan instead then I wouldn't be opposed to this for PJ.
I like Giddy. I know I’m the only one who does
He can pass, rebound, push the tempo, move without the ball, and is unselfish. Plus his shooting improved a lot but that’s only bc teams leave him wide open. Still he made a career high. I just want this team to play young and fast and have good ball movement and have high iq players on offense. Giddys IQ is 1000xs better than chuck up the ball when I get it Vassell.
That 14 for Washington is probably a pretty good deal if it can be managed. That's the type of player we need off the bench.
..........................
I like Giddey too
Hope the Spurs take a look
Point forward
I've been mentioning a trade with Utah for Collins....
Something I hadn't realized is the Spurs have Utah's 2026 2nd rounder protected 56-60
Something else they can throw in to the deal
3 Way Team Trade.
Spurs Trade #2 to Milwaulkie.
Spurs Trade #14 to Phoenix.
Spurs get Giannis.
Spurs get Durant.
Rest is filler details.
Fox
Castle
Wemby
Giannis
Durant
Then Spurs say goodbye to Wemby in 2027 after paying their entire cap to KD, Giannis, and Fox
Up to 30% of people with bipolar disorder binge eat during their manic episodes.
Or give away work laptop computers, and run naked in the streets.
You don’t believe in Castle? Or Sochan? Bc if Castle is an all star like everyone here thinks he will be and Sochan learns how to shoot then the team will be very formidable going forward.
in 2027 We’d have MVP level Wemby
All NBA level Giannis
All star level Castle
DPOY Sochan??
And KDs money off the books and maybe some vets looking to ring chase to shore up the bench
KD would be making a full 35% veteran max the year Victor would be eligible for a supermax extension.
Meh we just cut him at that point. Eat the dead money. Or we just trade him since his contract will be up the next season. Keeping him long term is never in the cards. Tbh I would love to sign him to a 1+1 deal where that second year is a team option (if we do get him).
Durant has 3 Allstar years left I reckon. After that, I don't know how quick the decline is. His game should gracefully age. His skill set and size is just not going away. He might have to be a full time 4 though and require a beast center to stop him getting banged. Defensively is what will be his decline.
If he actually wants another ring, he knows he can't be earning supermax money when Wemby's extension kicks in.
He seems like someone who wants to hoop until they carry him out in a body bag, I can easily see him play for 4 more years.
1+1 deal from which he opts out and then signs for 2 more years with a discount would be fair if competing is his priority.
Something like 80/2 would be fair.
Cutting him won't keep the Spurs out of the second apron and paying through the nose in luxury tax.
I was going to ask, don't you have to keep paying him and it counts against the cap if you cut him? I know KobeAchilles said he doesn't know much about the cap side of things, but I thought that was know by most people that it still counts against your cap if you cut him.
Can any of it be relieved from your cap if another team signs him for a significant amount? For example, if he's making say 50M and another team signs him after he's cut for 25M, does that mean the original team is off the hook for 25M?
Even I know it counts against your cap
I just thought you could spread the money around over several years.
Oh sorry, didn't mean anything by it. I thought you didn't know if counts against the cap. Good question if you can spread it out, but I would assume the player would have to agree with that when they're cut/let go? They might want it all the year it was due to them.
He will take a discount on the Spurs. Not 20 million, but he'll give us something.
Giannis and Fox too?
