How do we define Major?
I see a deal on the horizon with the same seismic weight as our previous JR Reed and Antoine Carr deals.
I agree this is a terrible return... but it's a better return than what PAFTO just accepted for the #8 pick. Definitely wouldn't put this past them.

The Spurs are very close to the salary they'd need for a Chris Paul trade. Like for example, Graham and Bassey for Paul should work if my understanding of the CBA is correct. Say what you want about big PGs, but we know the Spurs have long had a love affair for Paul, even since they've been on this kick. Graham's and Bassey's guaranteed amounts doesn't matter in such a trade, since their whole salaries already factor into the cap. But I imagine the Warriors would want to avoid his guarantee date if they could.
My gut is saying that GS is cutting him so just sign him to a short farewell contract after that.
I mean spurs have to use those picks for something right![]()
I’m leaning about 75% toward no.
Would be an unprecedented trade for this franchise, landing a star in their prime.
I still don’t get passing on Dilly but being willing to pay Trae all that. They share the same weaknesses (defense/size) and PATFO has always prioritized developing guys
Plus the ATL 2025 could land us Flagg or Bailey…would you rather pair a guy like that w/ Vic?
Dilly for a future 23rd pick is enough trades for one offseason.
The Dilly thing makes sense if you think it was because they were PLANNING on getting Trae all along so didn’t need Dilly.
Define major. It might be "major" involving a 3rd team or something, but we'll likely just be getting picks for our warchest and running it back while Pop discusses how important adding wins this season has been for the FO's thought processes.
They also agreed to alter his guarantee date. So I don't think that's their plan. They might be trying to rope him into a Paul George trade as rumored. I'm sure if that's the case, they'd prefer to sell LAC on them taking back non-guaranteed salary from SA rather than having to guarantee Paul's salary. Something like
LAC: George for Wiggins, Graham and Bassey
GS: Paul and Wiggins for George
SA: Graham and Bassey for Paul
I'm pretty sure that's legal even with the new apron rules.
There’s like half a dozen guys in the 25 draft that would have been #1 in this draft. We don’t even have to win, just jump into the top 4.
So far we have 7 people voting YES and 4 people voting yes. This is turning out to be a close race.
You really think that’s gonna be a bad pick?
First of all. It’s Minnesota, they always up eventually.
Their great GM will be picked off by a billionaire like Ballmer eventually.
Ant will be finished with his contract and 28 years old in 2029. No doubt if he hasn’t got a championship he is moving to greener grounds like the lakers.
By 2030 for sure Conley, Towns and Gobert will be gone, completely suck or retired.
They are as empty of picks as any team in the league at this point.
Theres no such thing as a sure thing, but they are a GREAT BET!
If the stars align, maybe we'll get the #8 pick!
Read the last sentence, good lord.
Doubt.
If anything, a vet on a nearly ending contract or a cheap one. Don't seem to be quite done evaluating and thinking through what they need and are still the "no expensive mistakes" era. Much of the roster is still uncertain. I figure they'll do one more round of absorbing salary if anything.
I hope not unless it's Cade Cunningham on a sane deal.
No thanks, if they were going to trade for Trae they should have traded up to #1 for Risacher too. Makes no sense after drafting Castle.
The spurs have lined themselves up to make a major trade but I just can’t see them pulling the trigger on anything major.
Do you think the Spurs don't want to make the playoffs next season as in, they're not actively going for Flagg, but would want to get a top 4 pick over making the playoffs while also having a small chance at Flagg? Do you think that's the strategy? More internal growth to see what the guys can do first?
What chance did the Hawks have of getting the number 1 pick in the 2024 draft? I'm guessing the Spurs will take that chance next season.
‘I think it actually does cause they really need Castle to cover for Trae’s defensive woes.
to the Naw on brining Chris Paul or Trae Young here. Hard, hard PASS.
Trading Dilly for unprotected FRP instead of taking a chance on him. Sure, I think they are collecting picks to trade a big haul for. I can only hope it’s for Markkanen. Trae doesn’t make sense, otherwise Spurs would’ve taken the better defensive player that fits the Spurs Dejounte.
100%. people thinking otherwise are living in an alternate 2klive reality. Wemby is guaranteed gone if this doesn’t work out. I pray to god spurs continue to be methodical and draft or sign young untapped potential ala molding parker and ginobili. Its a marathon not a sprint.
When you aren’t ing and moaning you are actually quite funny.
