saric is a much more natural ball-handler and passer/playmaker than davis is. he's also capable inside, unlike davis. i dont think they're redundant players, though yeah they play the same position. i'd take saric for a first. he's still just 24
Also add in the fact that Saric has a much better feel for the game that Bertans and his passing ability is very good as well. He sees the floor better than most on our roster. If the Toronto pick plus filler gets him then it should be a no brainer.

It's redundant. We don't need either Dario or Cunning , but I'd take Saric if Bertans is going out and we continue to shore up other positions of need. That 3 spot is looking pretty empty at the moment.
yes, they are completely different in game style
If min was re ed enough to give us saric for a late first and dante then yea u do it! No way wolves make that deal
Meh...hard to say what his potential is. I'm not sure he solves any of the Spurs pressing needs.
I would love Saric on this team tbh. He'd be fantastic.
Hrvatski from Sibenik.
Bring him in.
I like Saric and think he needs a change of scenery but we need a 3 more than a 4. But if we could get him for Pau, poindexter or Cunningham and that late 1st it might be worth trading for.
Totally
Saric has been awful this whole year. It's amazing how desperate folks on this site are to NOT have two firsts for some reason. There are people who believe that RC has hit on his last five first-rounders, but for some reason they default to "it's just a late-first" rhetoric. Whatever would Pop do if they draft TWO forwards who ended up being solid rotation player? Nope, can't handle it. Gotta only have one shot instead.
Because Aldridge is 33, Gay 32. We need to compete now/next year and not 2/3 yrs from now with those late 1st rounders. We have White, Murray, Lonnie, Poeltl, Metu who look pretty solid young core. I don’t mind trading those two 1st picks/Pau expiring to teams clearing space for a solid 3 and D. I really think Spurs are one solid SF short of making a noise. If not this year, but definitely next year after a year playing together and our young core developing. Just imo
I'm all for real trades for impact players. I'm not for pissing away picks for on moves that don't make them contenders. Saric won't make the team contenders, so you may as well wait until the summer, draft some folks, trade other folks and use the MLE on still more folks. You rebuild with the right moves, not the quick ones.
Not really, he is having a lot of bad luck in his rester spot. They had to use him as a 4 in Philly, and in Minnie for some funny reasons they think he needs to play behind Gibson. He is much better than that (last year he played quite well in fact).
SA picks this year will be about #18 and #28, Saric is certainly worth one of them + filler. Can you get a player better than Saric on the draft this year? I don't believe so.
What are the chances of a 27th 28th pick ending up as a better player than Saric, 1 in 10?
For all the talk about how great the Spurs have done with late first round picks, how many players better than Saric have they actually drafted? White may prove to be that at the end of the year, who else? Nobody since Tony Parker. I don't know why folks are acting as if late first round picks are as valuable as a top 5 pick all of the sudden.
Again, if the Toronto pick can get you Saric you do it without giving it much thought. I don't know why folks want to overthink this .

Exactly.
Like others say...we want picks to draft a forward like Kyle Anderson? Don't get me wrong, this comes from a guy who still like Kyle's game. But I would take a decent NBA player like Saric over a unknown pick drafted next offseason.
Also if the Kawhi trade ended up getting you DeRozan, Poeltl and Saric you would be allowed to say: "hey, at least that isn't as bad as DeRozan, Poeltl and a draft and stash kid".
Saric over Cunningham and or Quincy? Every time. Saric over even a single 1st round pick? Not so sure. Once again, appears to be the case of the grass is always greener which so often is the case with sports fans. This dude is not as good as Bertans, even if more a 4 than Bertans. He will never be as good a shooter. Ceiling's an offensively better Dante, really.
You sure seem to love that 42nd pick an awful lot, not to mention that 29th pick you think is one of the top three players on the team, even though most others think that other 29th pick is actually better.
Actually feels pretty high.
Even though it's not what you wished to convey in your post, he's actually right about that on 29th being better than the other 29th. Especially in the context of their current team.
The average late first round pick doesn't make it in the NBA. Truth bomb. I deal in facts. You take Saric over a late first round pick any day.
