well... cap space for the 22-23 season
They can still use their cap space for deals around draft time when more teams will be able to trade actual firsts.
well... cap space for the 22-23 season
welp it's 1:58 CST
Well looks like cap space couldn't buy us a 1st round pick. None of the big trades needed the Spurs. Oh well. At least we got one first rounder with minimal protection.
Boredom until the lottery...
That's a wrap!
so 1 first round pick and 7 second round picks is what we got
It won’t count towards saving money for this year’s luxury tax, but maybe the Spurs weren’t incentivized to help teams dodge it as they get 5% of every dollar in the pool (with ten teams over!)
But important point - cap space, especially when you’re the only team with it, is valuable me around the draft too.
people thinking we could trade cap space for 2 unprotected firsts
buyout market should be interesting tbh. I'd be shocked if Westbrook isn't a Clipper soon.
We also got way worse which is super important down the stretch tbh
When all the dust has settled the spurs ended up with only one FRP, far below what they wanted.
I feel this has been the case for 3 trade deadlines now. LOLJake Fischer JakeLFischer
9s
There is no deal for John Collins out of Atlanta, league sources told @YahooSports.
Welp, let's see what flows in from here.
What teams publicy say and what they truly believe are two different things. No way Wright really believed he could get 2 FPRs for Jak and a FRP for Doug and Josh... Teams wanting to save money is a bit different tho since you can't never really know what an owner(ship) will decide.
So there were like 20+ trades today and no one got a single FRP eh? Tough market.
They got pretty damn close to 2 FRPs for Poeltl. I'd easily take a top 6 protected over two late FRPs and that SRP this year is right now at 39.
Josh Richardson -- there was controversy over whether he was worth a FRP or a SRP or nothing. He was part of a move for four SRPs.
No way, is that right?
Utah and SA are the only teams that ended up getting 1sts aside from Brooklyn
Edit: forgot Portland got a lotto protected 1st as wel
Maybe I just have a low bar for PATFO but I thought they did pretty good this deadline
-Moved off Jak, got a pretty good return
-Moved off JRich, got an OK return
-Got way tier for a critical tank stretch of the season
That's pretty damn good for BWrong & Co tbh.
Feels better looking at it like that
Spurs didn't miss a deal, FRPs were scarce for everyone
Relative to expectations coming in, I can't grade the Spurs below a B or above an A minus. We don't know what was actually available.
And Utah's first could easily turn into a second rounder, tbh. Outside of Durant, Poeltl is the only player who got traded for a sure-fire first round pick.
That's pretty amazing, actually.
I agree with you. I think the Jak return was excellent.Maybe I just have a low bar for PATFO but I thought they did pretty good this deadline
-Moved off Jak, got a pretty good return

The wildcard with the JRich deal will be Graham. I think the spurs saw some value there at a position of need. But could also be a bust, and the only that matters are the picks.
This is the most important thing.
Yeah, maybe they could've got some more value, but it's irrelevant in the bigger picture.
It's all about getting lucky in the lottery this and the next year. We need all-NBA players and lottery is our only way of getting them.
All that's left to do is hope Charlotte strings together some Ws and we keep that #3 spot for the lottery.
