That is what I am calling for on the previous page (Kornet & Yabusele), but your addition weould put it over the top (trading friendship crew members for a PF). Id like John Collins if that were to happen.

Probably second round threat with those two, much less playoffs.
I expect Wemby to blow us all away with his progress, he surely focused on improving his shot during his contact practice restriction.
He was on top5 player in the league level last December, if he can be consistently on that level, I'm not scared of any team.
I also expect a big season from Fox, he's got a lot to prove.
I think Duke can't sign two-way contracts anymore. Next year he'll have more than 4 years of NBA experience
Another factor with Kornet is the 2028 swap Spurs have with Celtics.
Even if it's in 3 years, hurting Celtics by taking Kornet or by forcing them to give him a big contract, isn't a bad idea.
Both DJ and Derrick had Spurs playoff experience. They weren’t a part of the tank.100%, but I’d say OKC is following a model that best equips them for dealing with this (and this will happen to all teams who are both very good and deep… we’re already seeing how that has impacted Denver, and now the tearing down of BOS has begun).
OKC’s strategy for dealing with this is the one I hope we take - fill the pipeline with players and picks to backfill the guys you lose, and actively move guys right before they get really expensive. Cason Wallace is a good example of this, IMO - a guy who will be extension eligible next summer and has really shown out in his role, to the point where teams might view him as someone willing to take on a bigger role. I think OKC should look to move him now (while his contract is cheap and easy to absorb for another team) getting back picks. Then the cycle just repeats. I think Joe and Wiggins are guys similarly situated on OKC’s roster. This will allow them to keep their big 3 and just keep rebuilding the team around them with first round talent on staggered rookie deals.
It’s a really smart approach by OKC, but it requires not getting too attached to your “glue guys”. Brian Wright has shown the for ude in the past to part with team and fan favorites Dejounte and Derrick… but that was in a different context. He’ll need to be willing to do the same on a team that is actually winning. Spurs fans get easily attached to players (we’re the first team in history to miss the playoffs 6 years in a row but have a roster full of untouchable players according to casual Spurs fans), so the Presti approach might be tough to swallow. I can just see the posts on Spurs Reddit/Twitter now: “THE SPURS ARE GOING TO REGRET LETTING GO OF KELDON!!!”We’re fortunate with the level of discourse here on ST… because everywhere else it’s mind numbingly homerish
Thank you
I’d be in on Duncan Robinson tbh
These tweets dont load as well anymore. I have to refresh like ten times
KAW, please.
Duncan Robinson has to be a Spur at some point, he just has to.
Driving me insane. Just constantly see blank posts and I don’t know whether it’s some huge blockbuster trade or just some random scrub getting his team option picked up
I propose everyone that uploads a tweet, just writes a line below saying what it is about.
Plus the text link

Sources: Pistons gauging trade market on Simone Fontecchio (expiring $8.3M). With Malik Beasley's gambling investigation, Kings to pursue Dennis Schroder, if DET loses Tim Hardaway Jr, & a Fontecchio trade, DET may create $24M in space to pursue Nickeil Alexander-Walker & others.
^ fyi please BatManu20 ace3g RC_Drunkford

Duncan Robinson declined his $20M early termination option for free agency. He can return to Miami on a new deal, sign elsewhere, or be part of a sign-&-trade. As I’ve reported on Hoopshype
, Miami is considering a Jonathan Kuminga pursuit, which would need to be a sign-&-trade.

Since he’s part of the summer league roster i wonder if he has a chance to secure a Champagnie-like contract with us

The Chicago Bulls have extended a qualifying offer to two-way player Emanuel Miller, a league source told Hoopshype
. Miller averaged 17.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.1 blocks in the G League for the Texas Legends and Windy City Bulls.
