Spurs must of hated parting with that 2
@JMcdonald_SAEN
The pick Spurs are sending to Charlotte along with Graham is a 2025 second-rounder acquired from New Orleans -- in the deal that sent Graham to the Spurs in the first place
Spurs must of hated parting with that 2
Spurs are punting on a lot of picks including the 8 this year. Asset hoarders are an interesting lot.
Damn, doesn't OKC own an unprotected Clippers 2025 swap and 2026 pick? Now that Bridges resigned with Charlotte, if Kawhi goes down again and Harden's lost two steps I really don't want that team ending up with yet another lottery / top 4 pick x 2
Live look at Brian Wright
Broooooo if the Spurs land either Huerter or Barnes and then they get Markkanen…
scott SHUT UP and let me dream
Charlotte had to send something (I think $750k) to make it a legal trade. That adds to the value of what the Spurs "sold" the pick for.
The min cash used to be $110k, did that go up?
But Tim Duncan, so shut up if you think you're so smart.
It would make punting on 8 make sense.
Word I'm hearing though is that we're working the phones for some far out swaps. Stay tuned.
Spurs didn't pay a lot to dump Graham. Spurs have three 2025 second round pick (own, Bulls and Pelicans) and they are sending the one that will likely be the worst. Great trade.
I do hope Spurs did this trade because they want to use their cap space and that it isn't just a financial trade. If Spurs are cheap at that point, it would be very worrisome for the future...
CP3/Tre
Devin/Branham
Castle/Champagnie
Lauri/Barnes
Wemby/Brook
Second round, here we come.
How would you feel about things if you swapped Huerter for Bran and Barnes for Sochan?
exactly my line of thinking. If only the Spurs would be that aggressive for once.
You shut your mouth
I don't want Huerter because Pop is unreasonable when it comes to 3-no-D shooters and would play him too much.
I just want Markkanen, other moves aren't as important in the big picture. Regardless of who comes in this trade, won't be a long-term piece.
Feels like in the last 24 hours whatever they where hoping to use the Graham piece for (Markenen or otherwise) didnt materialize, and they pivoted to the Derozan thing. The extra ~3M they opened up should help make sure they can facilitate the SAC trade and the Paul signing no?Spurs didn't pay a lot to dump Graham.

Nuggets had to trade three second rounders to dump Reggie Jackson's $5.2 million salary. Only one second rounder for Graham and his $2.85 million guarantee is pretty impressive in comparison.
Graham deserves some credit because if he doesn't agree to delay the guarantee, the Spurs are likely out another second rounder.
Graham's salary doesn't make sense if we're matching Markkanen's $18M.
Keldon is on $19M and Collins is on $16.7M this season.
Collins+Keldon+Branham+Sochan matches other Collins+Lauri perfectly.
I'd honestly do that trade if it lowers the amount of picks required.
Someone mentioned that they didn't know why Graham agreed to do that. I know the Spurs wouldn't do him dirty, but was there risk for him?
Typically, players "get something out of" amending their deals like this given their leverage. It's possible Graham would've been signed to a better deal if he were allowed to hit the market on 07/01. But he still has a lot of time. It was a risk, even a small one, and credit to Graham if he did it for free even knowing the Spurs had no intention of keeping him.
if we get a first from the Kings we're trading for Lauri
Do it PATFO.
