Day 2 Grades: Spurs Trade for Cedi Osman, Bring Back Mamu

[scott]

Cedi doing profile pieces with the Express-News speaks to him likely having a leg up on Bullock. Don't thing the Spurs would pitch stories to Jeff McDonald if he wasn't viewed as a probably roster piece, and I doubt Cedi's publicist/agent was doing the work with local media. https://www.expressnews.com/sports/s...g-18389563.php

Unless the Spurs want no part of Bullock for chemistry reasons, I can’t see why they’d cut him before Bassey. Bullock’s an easy fit and there’s a clear path for him to get rotation minutes. He’d also have decent value at the deadline.

Bassey, on the other hand, has Collins, Wemby at center and Mamu ahead of him, probably Barlow as well. Don’t see the need for two project back-up centers, so unless there’s a trade I’d bet on him being cut.

Why would you want that? We have young mouths to feed at the minutes trough. We don't need some 32 YO stealing minutes from Jeremy and Malaki. We've also seen recently that veteran players no longer bring FRPs at the deadline, and we don't really need more SRPs to add to like the 16 we have already.

Because for me veteran players who can create space and play defence are the perfect foil for developing the young guys that need the ball in their hands. More structure would help development better than throwing minutes to players in all rookie type lineups.

This take makes no sense.

A 3 and D wing is not a good development vet. There is so little value in having a player stand in the corner and get most of the on ball defense reps.

Wemby is playing the 4, the Bassey is not behind Mamu or Barlow.
