True. One FRP with those two thrown in would be well worth it. With Devin less is more. I think the team was better when he was hurt
Naz Reid is a starting 4 man according to their fans. Naz Reid truthers is this true?

The problem is more that he isn’t a star player and he wants star player money. For Minny he was expected to take a big leap this year and he just didn’t. On our team however he would just be asked to hit shots, play defense, and battle for boards. All of this is well in realm of him having a successful career here as a Spurs as long as we don’t expect an all star player.
we need to trade for one of Reid, Aldama or John Collins. Collins is actually the most realistic option out of the 3.
Not realistic with Ainge being their GM. He drafted Walker Kessler in the 20s, and now wants two FRPs. You won’t get Collins for a reasonable price, and the Spurs won’t move Ainge level assets for him.
What does where he was drafted have to do with his market value?
Aldama and Reid are more than likely staying put. Those teams made cap related trades (Smart, Towns) in part to retain them (and extend Jackson Jr.).
Alexander-Walker is likely gone. Clark looks like a young/inexpensive replacement + Dillingham and Shannon Jr. are waiting in the wings.
Collins is the exact type of big the Spurs have avoided. They prefer C's who can pass and PF's who are converted wings.
Bigs I could see them pursuing: Carter Jr., Sharpe, Capela, Nance Jr., Kornet, Adams, Looney.

he got 1 year left on his deal, he‘s not getting more than 1 first for him
He’s restricted at that point. It’s not like he’s going to walk.
If KD wants to come, I’m down for it. I’m not trading them all of their picks back unless Booker comes too.
Rockets don't have any negative contracts for salary matching.
I'd offer just Brooks and one of Green/Sengun for KD. No picks.
I feel like Sengun is the odd man out. Can't win playoff series with a big who can't shoot or protect the rim.
Rockets are smart and will sell while he has high value.
I actually kind of like the Rockets. I haven't watched them all season apart from the games against the Spurs, but I've been looking at results and the standings all season. Do you think they can hold onto the number 2 seed?
I am going to try and start watching them a bit as it's getting closer to the playoffs. Really interested to see how they go there. I'll be going for them against specific teams. I like what Ime has done there and I want to see how far Thompson has progressed. I don't know if I want them trading for Durant as I kind of like their current team. Not sure I'd want to watch them if Durant went there. Not sure if I even want Durant on the Spurs.
I think going for Booker would be who the Rockets should be looking at if they were to work with Phoenix on a trade.
I wouldn't give them any of their picks back for KD. They're eventually going to have to trade you Booker if you guys hold out. They're only screwing themselves by refusing to trade Booker yet since you guys are going to get their lottery pick this year.

I actually can’t believe they are being this dumb. Brooklyn saw the need to get their own picks back. The Suns don’t want to actually rebuild for some strange reason.
Maybe, but consider that Ishbia doesn't care about the draft, so even though his/Booker's local Pistons don't have the same caliber of draft capital as the Rockets, they still have most of theirs, the financial flexibility to drop the Suns below the second apron and are out of conference.I wouldn't give them any of their picks back for KD.

I could see a package of Ivey, Stewart, Fontecchio and multiple 1sts/swaps getting it done.
Your own picks are way more valuable than anyone else's in a rebuild and especially better than those from the Pistons who are a low end playoff team and will probably be somewhere around the play-in level for the next few years.
Of course. I'm not questioning whether the Rockets have the best package to offer, I'm questioning whether it'll appeal most to Ishbia.
LOL well Ishiba is definitely a dip . But this looks way better for Phoenix with the 25 and 29 swaps returned as well the 27 pick. Even if you don't like Smith and/or Brooks both of them are going to have nice trade value to expand it to a three or four team deal. But I also love Sheppard and think he'll blow up if given a chance to get minutes and develop on a team that's not trying to contend for a le right now like Houston is.
Would be perfect timeline wise, tbh.
One year on this deal and then 2 more before Castle's extension kicks in.
Would also be perfect fit wise, it's just that I don't really like him as a character, but whatever, if it means Devin is going the other way, I'll take it.
Wemby would be the biggest benefector from his mentorship...but only as far as skills go, we don't want him taking career advice from KD.
Devin, Keldon and a lottery protected FRP would be my best offer.
KD can pick and choose where he goes and not many teams would offer more. Not a player we must get at all costs.
Throw in some seconds since they have none.
It's time for them to blow it up, send Booker to Houston for their picks and have Evan and Kelvin lead them to promised Dybantsa land.
Aldama should be a Spur next year; he’s perfect for our program. Hopefully he loved Jenkins as the coach….
Nah KD
Let’s get Giannis tbh
Giannis would cost everything other than Wemby and Fox.
In a couple of years we'd have declining Giannis, Fox on the wrong side of 30 and nothing to rebuild with around Wemby.
Funny because when we traded Dejounte to ATL they tried to throw Collins in the trade and the spurs declined.
Declined Hunter as well.
Oh and it's almost a 0% chance we trade for Collins, because he has a player option for next year he is probably turning down to enter free agency. This is the last non option year of his current contract.
I do think their is a chance that the Spurs sign him in free agency, though not a high one, because he would take minutes away from pet cat Sochan.
