Spurs trade ideas

[baseline bum]

Even I know it counts against your cap

I just thought you could spread the money around over several years.

So make the problem even worse by spreading over the years Victor is making a supermax and Castle needs to be paid?

Darn, that pretty much puts to bed that idea.

Well aren’t you a killjoy

[RC_Drunkford]

Giannis and Fox too?

well Giannis plays for Milwaukee so you gotta ask them. There's a good chance with Fox, since he basically begged the Kings for 8 years to bring in a wing. If the Spurs get him KD he should take a discount. That's the best wing he ever played with.

Was referring to a post saying to get both Giannis and KD tho, which makes re-signing Victor impossible without a big salary dump

For the people advocating for Collins…Jazz beat writer seems to think he could be had for cheap.

Cheap?

BWAGOD THAT'S BRIAN WRIGHTS MUSIC!

[objective]

B.Wright can't be that cheap, ask Zach Collins

Anyways

John Collins is a deal the Spurs have to get done unless they have a good excuse like Durant

Hopefully Utah holds off on any deal until draft night to see if any players they like such as Demin could be there at 14 and there's a tradeback to be made.

[jjspur]

It is looking less likely that the spurs trade for Durrant, so I think their next target is Lauri Markkanen. A bit expensive by spurs standards, but younger and cheaper than Durrant. Possibly the 14th or 38th pick comes into play. Every once in a great while the spurs wheel and deal, but they're usually careful about it. We'll see at the draft, who knows they may surprise us once more.

Cheaper? Are you sure about that?
His contract would ruin our long-term flexibility and there's no way Jazz lets him go without Spurs trading down from #2 to #5, which should be a non-starter.

This!

Collins is cheaper, has a better season (statistically), and his signing wouldn’t cripple our future financially.

I been saying this. Brian Wright has to go bargain shopping. Just scoop up all those underrated guys you can get without giving up a lot of assets.

That being said Spurs and Lakers will go after the same front court players this offseason. Would love to snatch up their main PF and C targets just to them over. I hope people would rather play with Wemby than with 40-year old LeGM and fat Luka.

John Collins had better numbers than Lauri and is cheaper. That's who you go for.

This is why I'm such a fan of signing Jake LaRavia as a FA, as I'm pretty sure a $20mil/3 yr offer would do it. He's gotten better all three years of his career to the point where last year he was a slight net positive asset. If he continues to improve, you've got a legit rotation guy for less than the MLE who by year 3 is an amazing bargain. At worst, you have a net neutral player making about $7mil, which is nothing in today's market, easily traded or included in a trade. Plus he's not a score first guy, so even if he fits perfectly and thrives, he wouldn't be uber expensive to re-up at the end of his contract.

That's who I want us to use the MLE money on. I wouldn't mind bringing in 2-3 forwards including LaRavia. KD is at the top of my list, John Collins second. Having LaRavia come off the bench would be great.

For the 25-26 season Markkanen makes 46 million and Durrant makes 54 million so yes that's 8 million cheaper and Markkanen's highest contract year is 3 years later at 54 million - what Durrant currently makes. Long term money will depend on how much less than 54 million Durrant is willing to take and for how long - with the cap going up I'm not sure he takes a hometown discount at all. Aside from the money aspect Markkanen is still almost a decade younger.

You're right, dealing with assclown Danny Ainge is difficult since he usually tries to screw the other teams over - however having any 50 plus million dollar player is enough to screw over any teams future salary flexibility.

Then Spurs say goodbye to Wemby in 2027 after paying their entire cap to KD, Giannis, and Fox

Wemby gets Max. We'll let the other players go if we have to if they don't agree to team friendly contracts.

And We'll have 2 Championships in the bag. Health permitting.

[bigzak25]

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

I like this guy. Ha! Awesome post bro.

You got something to say. Then address me like a man Ex. My movie would win an Oscar. You got a problem with me or you just like talking ?

35% max to KD
35% max to Giannis
30% max to Fox
30% max to Wemby
Castle $12.7 million
= already above the second apron with 8-10 roster spots to fill, assuming Spurs traded Harper and never signed any more free agents

KD's not off the books until 2028. Sochan would either be traded or the team would let him walk in free agency.

KD is just a short term rental.

Giannis, yes, we would want him to finish his career here.

Anyway, you're good people Zak.

If not KD, I'm more than content and happy to let the Spurs work their magic at #14.
