What Would You Realistically Require to Move Castle or #2?

Only way I'm considering this exercise is if Harper says he's not willing to join the Spurs. Then I trade him to get Giannis.

I’d move either of Castle or pick 2 for a blowjob from Kylie Jenner.

What would is take to get Jayson Tatum? I think Boston is going to move him in the next 3 years. He is done next year. And the year after that he is done as well. Not that he won’t recover but he’s going to miss a lot of games the following year. He’d be lucky to play 55 games in two seasons. So then it comes down to that 3rd year and how he does. Bc in that 4th and 5th extension he’s going to be making $68 and $71 million a year.

Let’s say 3 years from now Castle and Harper are good players. All stars even. And their extension is coming up and they fit together pretty well but we still can’t get over the hump. Boston gives us Tatum and we give them Castle. I already hear Spurstalk hating the move. Castle is 23 and younger and Tatum is 28. Why would we trade Castle for Tatum. He’s overpaid and he misses a lot of games and etc etc. but I think it’s a move that’s going to happen. Wemby, Tatum, and Harper/Castle (only one of them) will lead the Spurs to our first le since 2014.

So what are you saying? What year are you proposing to get Tatum? Before the 2026/27 season? When he's almost 29 coming off of an achilles injury and trading a 22 year Castle for him? WTF.

Castle - I'm pretty damn high on him so I'm not trading him unless it's in a package for a star that fits great or at least 3 high-end assets.

#2 - I'm at the point where I'm drafting Harper unless he doesn't wanna be here or an elite offer comes through.

Castle/Harper/Fox - Short term Castle, long term Fox. Fox is more valuable to the Spurs than the other two for 25/26 and prolly 26/27, but after that he'll most likely have to be our sixth man to maximize his value.

A 6’8-6’9 Wemby that can play both guard spots as well as the 3

1. The return I would want for Castle is probably too unrealistic. All would be for proven players at the wing and on the same timeline as Wemby (younger than 25). No team will want to trade their budding stars when they're still that young and full of potential.

2. For the #2 pick, it would be a similar answer. I would want a young forward or PF/C who can be a seamless fit next to Wemby. But no team will trade an Evan Mobley or JJJ.

3. Would rather trade the #2 pick if it somehow yielded the above.

I'm on the side of seeing how a Fox/Harper/Castle rotation plays out. Spurs have no need to trade now and can start Harper in a 6th man role smilar to Harden's career beginning. Castle has also already proven he is willing to sacrifice his role to win. Then after a few years the Spurs can re-evaluate and trade someone if things aren't working out. Fortunately the Spurs are predictable and we'll likely get this wait and see approach.
