All they got out of it was Poeltl, next to last pick in the first, and a guy Toronto was going to salary dump to the Spurs anyways if Kawhi had stayed.
Wright's first move in 2018 was pretty awful

So you think that was a fleecing given Kawhi's actions and stated preference of LA as a destination?
They could have gotten a better deal from the LA teams or another team he wouldn't resign with?
How about the other trades?
Isn't RC Buford you guy's CEO still?

the kings
it. Im going to be like scott and just accept that nothing’s happening. Better for my mental health
Drafting Primo 12 has to give you pause when considering the competency of this front office. The guy never showed anything to justify that pick, especially with Sengun on board. His career highlight is hitting a few threes in a preseason game.
Brian Wright calling Utah, but only to let Ainge know we're here to take any unwanted salary for some SRPs
How the would the Kings be able to beat the Spurs offer to a team that wants to tank? That'll make me mad as if some team like them without any elite assets to trade to a tanking team lands him.
Also Vassell > Halliburton
Also 20131 > Rob Dillingham
Also Cash Considerations > Furphy
Also Cam Payne > ???
Spurs just being used to boost the trade value, tbh. Wright probably on vacation this week. Happy 4th of July!
We're ready to take Jalen Swalson into space for a 2038 SRP swap (top 55 protected). Just lemme know.
Is he related to TSpence? That dude called the Gasol signing so he's my gold standard even if Don Harris got butthurt about it tbh.
What kind of helps and hurts the Spurs here is that unlike the other known suitors (GSW, SAC), the Spurs can make an offer that doesn't hand control of their future over to Ainge. That is good for the Spurs... but maybe not as attractive to Ainge. Ainge already holds MIN and CLE by the ballsack, he might be salivating at the opportunity to add another pair of nuts to his wall. GSW and SAC offer him that opportunity... the Spurs do not.
Sacramento says they were close
I can't blame him not picking Haliburton, it's not like Vassell is a bad player and lots of other teams didn't value him correctly either. Guess we'll have to see on the trade for Pick #8. I would have loved to snag Buzelis there but I guess we'll see if they took that trade to have assets Ainge would value. Refusing to pay Furphy was ing re ed, a league minimum contract is peanuts against the cap.
Tbh, if that tweet is true it's all about how much PATFO wants Markkanen.
We can easily beat any Kings or Warriors offer.
I’m sure Ecstatic has all the receipts for that trade, including down to the most recent FRPs from MIN.
GSW only offers him the ability to do it in a few years when Curry is gone. The Spurs can hand Atlanta's nuts to him and up him to having control of 6 of the next 7 Minnesota drafts. So you get a good balance of near future and long term ball twist potential with a Spurs offer.
Am I wrong to think neither Warriors nor Kings are a good fit for him basketball wise?
Kings are an atrocious defensive team, can't put Markkanen next to Sabonis.
Draymond can't play C with all the size in the conference, but you also don't want Markkanen to play SF.
Markkanen needs a rim protector next to him, his value drops without one.
That’s not all we got out of it. It’s the trade that keeps on giving.
SAC receives: Lauri Markkanen/20131 pick swap
UTA receives: Four SAC FRPs/Harrison Barnes/Kevin Huerter/Devonte Graham
SAS receives: Trey Lyles
Is Markennan going to sign off in wanting to extend his contract with the decaying corpse that is GSW? Has anyone ever willingly wanted to go to SAC?
Sure our city sucks ass but the dude can build something special with Wemby. I'm smoking that copium.
I didn’t appreciate that GSW pretty much have all their picks back (minus a 30FRP top 20 protected to WAS). So the pick part of their offer could top out at:
25FRP
27FRP
26, 28, 29, 31 swaps (tho some of those might be useless)
They also have Podgemski and Moody.
Oh off, that one hurt to read since it sounds like it could go down like that.
[QUOTE=scott;11092815]
Kings can only offer 3 FRPS. We can do 4 or 5 FRPs plus bunch of 2nd rounders. Brian Wright understands how to beat everyone else. He will get this done. No panic.
You got it. That's why Lauri won't pick Kings.
