Interesting. Solid depth but kinda sad to see Wesley go. Spurs now have 3 open roster spots
Another stretch-big to pair with Wemby.
Olynyk averaged 9 pts/5 rbs/3 asts on 50% shooting and 41% from 3 on 2 attempts/per.

No more logjam in the backcourt tbh. Olynyk should fit nicely on this roster as a veteran stretch-4.

I wondered what was taking so long. Ciao to Blake and Maliki.
Splash! Now we have two spots to fill…
Finally, prototypical Spur comes home
Doesn't do much but it was about time Branham and Wesley go.
Eh.
some ST posters will be elated to see that the Spurs actually traded a 2nd round pick.
Perfect, but now they 110-percent had room for 38 on their roster.
2/3 of the 2022 Draftees are gone. Only Sochan remains…for now.
solid rotational player, and we have SRPs galore to give away. he's making 13.4 mil this year and is on an expiring deal.
neither wesley nor branham had a realistic path to minutes this year barring injury. personally i think wesley is an NBA player and could have been worth keeping around as depth who can come in and play with energy on defense... we've seen him impact games. but it also makes sense that if we were going to have a guard stashed away at the bottom of the roster, that it at least be one who could shoot
i think its a pretty meh move. we now have 3 open roster spots in addition to all the two-way spots
he can also be re-routed during the season if they want to make use of the salary. the second round pick they gave up is the 2026 pick which is the worst between OKC, Dallas, and Philly, so it will probably be one in the late 50s
Olynyk is on an expiring deal too. He's owed $13.45M this year. Turned 34 in April.
Olynyk can play. Great move for essentially nothing of value except cap room.
Good third stringer, the team will always be functional.
Getting rid of Wsesley ans Branham is a good sign that they won't have mercy towards friendship crew if the right opportunity presents itself.
Probably shows how lowly they thought of Raynaud.
Hopefully the next step is bringing in veteran guard depth. Could they bring in Núñez? Not that he's good or ready, but may as well start developing him in Austin rather than hoping he develops overseas.
Deals like this are always interesting to me because we heard absolutely nothing about the Spurs being interested in Olynyk or that they were shopping Branham/Wesley and suddenly they're traded out of nowheremakes me think the vast majority of rumor mill reporting is complete bull
Olynyk pairs well with rim protecting bigs. He stinks when he is the sole center out there. So playing the 4 defensively with Kornet or Wemby is ideal for his game. But if he is out there as the only big next to Keldon and Barnes on the wing, then it gets bad.
Good deal.
Olynyk is a nice rotation big and those two didn't have a future here. Let them figure it out somewhere else.
We badly, badly needed that second backup big and KO has legit been a good one for a while, with a strong skillset that we need (can hit from outside).
Not earth shattering but considering you're trading your trash, I respect it.
They might be planning on Wemby playing PF full time or at least most of the time now. Though I can't help but notice how Kelly and Barnes are two decent-sized expiring contracts.
Good one. It's add shooting to the bench
