The 26 has an unprotected ATL swap, no way I'm moving that for 3-4 years of KD.
I don't know about atl picks, but I would definitely do Spurs' 25, 26 picks, and devin. Then figure out your big situation as it comes. That will be the easy part and can easily see a big pulling a fox to try to get here.
Before the fox trade, I was all "team" slow and steady. Now, I think you have to strike while the iron is hot. It wouldn't be too unimaginable for the spurs to pull a mavs and win it all THIS YEAR.

I'd give Devin + Keldon + worst of our 25 picks + a couple 2nd's.
yuh, I agree. 28 then if it has no strings. But I'd s two spurs 1sts that are without strings.
IDK maybe. Wouldn't be my first offer though.
the suns gave away bridges, johnson, FOUR 1sts and a pickswap for durant. I think I agree with what someone mentioned earlier, that suns FO would rather see themselves implode then not get something reasonably back.
That'd probably be my final
Then they can implode. 36 year old KD has nowhere close to the value 34 year old KD did.
Then let them impolde... I'm good with that outcome as well...
Yeah not on anyone else to pay Ishbia's sunk costs blowing up a 64 win team.
34YO KD was still at the tail end of his prime. 36YO KD is firmly in his sunset years.
KD is fun to talk about, but I'm not even slightly interested in reality. Fox/KD/Wemby is trying to force a super team that ultimate just results in one of those high potency guys being underutilized and then eventually disgruntled. It is extremely rare for teams to have three 20ppg scorers, and now you're trying to fit three 25ppg scorers into one lineup. Not sure how it would even work.
Fully on team patience (until the offseason) now, other than a backup big.
No way on Durant. Too old, too expensive, can't play defense anymore, injury prone, etc. Let the Suns and their dumbass owner suffer with the terrible decisions theyve made
What would it take to trade for Jonas Valanciunas?
It's why I'm not willing to pay much for Durant. He'd be mostly a shooter at the PF spacing the floor for Wemby. If Wright can loot him from Phoenix though why not? If Phoenix wants a big return, have fun good luck with that Ishbia considering KD will 100% ask out the second you trade Booker.
It wouldn't be about saving the suns, but if it puts the right piece next to wemby. Question is if a winding down durant is worth two spurs' 1sts(w realistically them being in the 20's with a trio of fox, durant, and wemby). Yes, maybe spurs get lucky pick up some solid pieces, but their recent track record outside of castle suggests otherwise. That's a real possibility of rejecting durant for the likes of branham and wesley.
The right piece was Fox. Durant would be the cherry on top of the sundae if you can get him cheap. Not if you overpay for a guy on the decline with a big contract. Only way I would have given up two firsts was if one of them was the fake first from Charlotte that Sacramento had to swallow to make the trade look better to casual fans.
This would be a lot better target. Protected 1st and salary matched players.
If not Durant, I would disagree w some here, and another move should be sought NOW rather than LATER. Spurs don't have time to be drafting and developing players for the next 3-4 years.
How about Larry Nance?
I'd be hesitant to even call Atlanta because I don't want to even have a discussion about the picks we already have of theirs. Nance should only fetch SRPs though.
Branham/Wesley + couple SRPs ? Maybe lotto protected Spurs` 26 FRP, but I dont how would it work, since 26 is a swap and then 27 is gone. Next available is Spurs` 29 FRP
JV is 10 mil per year, Poetl is 19,5.
He's on $11M, who would you send out? We kind of don't have any of those average contracts left.
If we're talking players we don't need, it's just $3M or less deals we can send out.
Maybe Daniel Theis from Pels, shouldnt cost more than single SRP. He knows how to set a screen, been there, did something.
We went over the potential <$5M targets earlier today.
Imo it's down to just Tillman, Sharpe and Eubanks.
Theis has been really bad this season.
Pels are bad. You need big dude for 12 minutes tops, to run pick and roll with Fox, Vassell, Keldon and Sochan, while Wemby sits. He needs to be able to hit wide open three. Eubanks cant do that. Dont know other two.
