What are you supposed to get with those draft picks?
and with the team improving its play, should we think about trading BOTH first round picks to give us a shot at really contending? Let's face it, LMA is giving it his all for the second season in a row and will likely have very little left in the tank next season. So, depending on who could be had, it might be something PATFO would want to consider.

Aldridge takes good care of himself -- eats well, stays in shape during offseason, and he's motivated. He'll be fine for another couple years, especially if they start developing badasses at multiple other positions to where he doesn't have to be a beast night in and night out to win. A defensive unit that puts the hurt on people in the backcourt will also certainly extend his longevity too.
Could you imagine Murray and white
Like those 2 picks are going to bring in a third semi star....right
I know the Spurs would never flip players but I’d try to shop Derozan for two or three solid role players. Then you let LA be undisputed first option and have guys like Gay and White contribute playmaking.
Derozan can score but his defense and zero three point ability should be replaced.
Just trade a pick and pau for bazemore and be done with it. A few firsts in their 20s wouldn’t get Tobias Harris or something
In a package that would have to include Pau and/or Mills,along with both picks, I'm just wondering if that could net us a player that could be a big boost.
Not nice.
Mills and picks for Danny green
Just the opposite. See what trade offers could be had for LMA now while he is in one of his "on" modes.
I am going on the premise of building another Championship for San Antone.
Don't want more 1st round exits til Popped joins his Warrior friends for the Marketing Olympics.
Cousins will destroy Gs
Is Bazemore an upgrade to White? If not, why would the Spurs trade a pick AND take on what is still bad salary for him? It's easy to justify making a move for a legit defensive SF, but with Derrick playing the way he is, they aren't desperate for a defensive guard now. Something like Beli, Pon and Walker for Covington seems like a better balance of going all in while still actually having a roster that works long term. White (if his shooting goes up to an above-average level), DeRozan, Covington, Gay (or Forbes if White's shooting isn't there) and Aldridge would be one of the top two or three lineups in the West with elite two-way potential. Then you'd still have a dynamic bench. Could see such a team making a deep run, then you'd be able to add Murray to that team and feel comfortable in being able to re-sign everyone for a couple more runs.
I agree. Go for it! Aldridge is playing at last year's All-NBA level right now and the West is wide open (GS the fav no doubt but they look ready to be taken). I think if they can get a solid 3 (creates O, plays good D and is durable), they should pull the trigger on a deal. Rudy + a shooter (Marco, Forbes, Bertrans or Mills > I WISH! + one of the 1st round picks might get somebody at fringe All-Star. Jaylen Brown? lol.
I think they're one piece from being a serious contender right now.
How about Porter if not Covington?
More of a sacrifice, both in terms of what the team would have to trade to get him and what they'd have to do to keep his salary for the next two years. He'd cost fewer assets though (like Pau, Beli, Pondexter and the Toronto pick might be enough), so the team could balance out the long-term concerns with cheaper role-players. I'd still look to do it, but it's not a no-brainer like almost any deal for Covington is.
Nah fam, the west is wide open. The spurs can make some noise if they get hot at the right time. Besides, we've kicked the tires on an lma trade before and got offers. It's too late for that, you ride with what you got.
I have him coming off the bench as a sg/sf. Derozan is playing lots of minutes so a relief with a defensive playmaker is worth it imo
The Wolves have a ways to fall before they would part with a big piece of their Butler package. I bet they will keep thinking they're a playoff team for a while yet. Maybe if they're in 13th or 14th and way behind 8th by the trade deadline.
I thought Covington isn’t allowed to be traded again this year. Pretty sure he can’t be on any trade package
DeMar is the best playmaker on this team, and a guy who can score many ways, + get to the line. His 3 point shooting is a not a big deal, we're still one of the best offensive teams/most efficient 3 point shooting team.
He gets our shooters great looks, and has shown signs of playing with more effort/awareness defensively lately. Getting steals, deflections, contesting shots, etc...
I'm hoping Dallas starts sucking again and starts looking to ship out Barnes/Mathews to give Doncic as many touches as possible. I'd take either one of them, tbh.
Patty and 2 2nd rounders for Josh Richardson. With the Dragon injured they need a PG.
Let’s just throw ideas out there and have chinook be the judge
Bellineli + pau+ Firsts for Tobias Harris and boban
