Thanks. It was not just guessing tbh. I had been told by Eric and another that clippers were the team for a long while. Was nervous with Lakers talk but clippers were the preferred spot.

[JuneJive]

I don’t know. The not wanting to play with Bron thing was real. I think it was more playing Lakers and buying time vs wanting LA

[SAGirl]

still dont get why they had to add a 3rd year to carroll to get anything done ... just increase his salary to 7 to match bertans without adding the 3rd year

I also don't know what happened there. Maybe Caroll got more offered from someone else while he was waiting to sign... Frankly don't know.

Someone mentioned that for it to be an S&T it had to be a 3+ year contract

[SAGirl]

Sign and trades have to be at least 3 years minimum

Ohhhh this is the reason for demarres deal. Thanks.
Dude got lucky.

Thanks just saw that as I went through the reactions.

[ace3g]

well Marcus already knows how to pump fake PG13 out of the play for the game winner!!!

[Rosewood]

Great signing, not sure why people are complaining about having both Morris and Carrol. We actually have depth now at the forward positions!

Also Morris is great! Always loved the dudes game.

wake me up when either wombat, belli or forbes is off the the fkn team

Traded Bertans to Wizards for trade exception.

Used trade exception to do a sign-and-trade deal for DeMarre Carroll.

Used the newly freed MLE to sign Marcus Morris.

Masterful

Yep, masterful. Excellent, stealthy moves while the basketball world was focused on all the glamour boys. Quintessential Spurs-type moves - except signing Morris is way bolder than I ever expected from Pop.

Thanks for providing the specifics.

Forbes used to annoy the out of me, but I’d take him over fatty. Dude tries, and he’s actually improved his game this last season compared to the previous one. Maybe the stats don’t show it, but he has shown it. Fatty otoh.. that guy. He was awesome in 13-14, but damn has he fallen off a cliff. Forbes I can stomach to keep. Limited as he is, he’s still young and on a cheap contract.

[YoungbuckMurray]

Watching some of Morris’ defensive clips against Lebron has me really excited. Looks like he could be a really good wing defender for us. With Murray and white locking down guards the defense should be top 5-10. Offense wasn’t the issue last year this team can score

Spurs got lucky that Sean Marks and the Nets did us a solid. If the Spurs are in the East I doubt it happens.

Isnt markief the better player at least in phoenix? Markief is gettimg 3m per yeat

Gay was/is trash in the playoffs.
For the past 2 years his shooting % drops to 40 in the playoffs. Lower rebounds too.
Not worth 32 million.

ing Christ 🙄🙄🙄🙄

[Avitus1]

Best move we made in years. Glad to see the front office doing legit work.

[phxspurfan]

Hate how we got rid of da ninja Bert but this was a good coup for the Spurs. Getting 2 wing defenders while only losing 1 rotation player. Also, another case of the Spurs developing a player out of nowhere into a solid trade asset.

[BillMc]

Good day for the Spurs, bad day for Keldon Johnson, tbh. Hope you enjoy Austin, KeLDoN.

Truth.

I wonder why Boston wasn't more aggressive about keeping Marcus?

[slick'81]

With Hayward and tatum he was the odd man

[playbonner15]

He gonna stay with the Raps if Clips dont get PG

[John B]

When you have AD, LeBron, Kawhi, Paul George, Millsap coming, I think I rather have Carroll/Morris instead of Bertans.
