Vassell + Keldon for Siakim works money-wise.
So does Vassell + Sochan + Branham.
Just fyi.

I don't know... I see IND trying to trade for one of Suns centers and/or signing a cheap one in FA and then trying to run it back. Definitely don't see them overhauling just yet.
The Pacers aren't holding a fire sale, they're ducking the tax.
The Spurs will have to pay to get off of Vassell and/or Johnson.
I always thought the idea of Myles Turner was more interesting than the reality of Myles Turner. Honestly, I think Kornet as a back up at $11mil per is more conducive to roster management and winning than Turner as a starter at $26mil.
Val traded to Denver for Dario
Valancinuas for Dario Saric trade.
Nuggets going all in.
Time to call the Kings and get Keegan Murray, tbh.
I'd agree. He and JJJ just don't move the needle especially w/their lack of consistent rebounding as bigs.

The Sacramento Kings are trading Jonas Valanciunas to the Denver Nuggets for Dario Saric, sources tell ESPN.

Free agent forward Gary Harris has agreed to a two-year deal with the Milwaukee Bucks, with a player option on the second season, sources tell ESPN. Bucks continue to fortify the roster with a veteran wing who played key rotation roles for playoff teams in Denver and Orlando
Turner is as good of a fit with Giannis as it gets.
Good rim protector and a good 3pt shooter. Giannis gets the rebounds, no need for a big to be doing it.
Bucks now need a decent point guard, time to try and get Jrue back for Kuzma.
I wonder if Pacers are an Ayton landing spot. I think they went after him in the past.
Yea that Vassell contract is looking more and more hideous every passing month especially now with the new CBA. Right now for someone to take on $100M and 4 years of a net negative 25 yo no defense low efficiency chucker it would cost you 2 FRPs very lightly protected if not unprotected. $50M per pick.
Don't care what happens next as long as DV and KJ are long gone by the time the season starts.
Doesn't Milwaukee still have a future first and a swap they can trade? It's not much but it could get them a decent point guard
I have to admire the balls on Horst and ownership. They aren't very good at their jobs and make wrong choices and evaluations more than right ones but they do have balls
The "gap year" plan would have asked Giannis to wait a full year to give them a chance. After a year, adding a first to Lillard could have been enough to dump him out straight or get a somewhat functional player on a bad deal in return. But they still wouldn't have a center.
This way they get a center aligned with Giannis prime who they can still trade later if Giannis wants out and get some value. They burn Lillard off like a wart and keep their picks. $22 million a year is a lot, but if they had waited a year and done it over 3 it would have almost the same impact anyway except over 4 years. And if Giannis wants out ever then sure they wouldn't be able to use that 22 every year to launder picks for a bad contract, but 22 doesn't buy what it used to. Brooklyn got what, pick 22 for laundering cap room for the Porzingis trade? Spurs got a single swap for 2 years of Barnes? Not a big deal for a team burned to the foundation
They brought back Portis, Trent, and Porter .... They got them balls
Nugz are looking good. Vecenie was talking yesterday about how they could still improve if they found a taker for Saric. They did. They have a huge amount of roster flexibility in being able to go double big or not. I kinda like them vs. OKC now.
why did the kings give away V for saric lol. just a salary dump. shameful stuff tbh
If Beal gets waived I could see the bucks being the destination for him. Tre Mann could definitely be their PG target
Jesus, they must know they're right on the edge of losing Giannis to pull a move like this.
What is SAC trying to do? Are they on year down mode already?
You don't trade Vassell. You try ro get use out of him. STers want to get rid of him, but the only way out is through. Develop him the right way and hope whatever you saw in him manifests. Barnes, Wesley, Branham and Champagnie are the moveable contracts. Keldon is around for moral support, spot minutes and to be the ballast next season. The team can still trade for a bunch of salary at this point. But they need a good target.
Now that Giannis will most likely not be demanding a trade anytime soon, it would be wise for the Spurs to start using the future extra picks to explore trades for high end role players. My guess is that the spurs were holding on overpaying in any trades with the hope of landing Giannis.
With the young core set (Wemby, Castle, Harper to a lesser extent Bryant) we wont be needing any extra 1st round picks IMHO.
He's been on the roster for 5 full years, we're deep into sunken cost fallacy territory.
What a steal for Denver. Easily the best backup big Jokic has had in years. The corpse of DeAndre Jordan wasn't cutting it. On the flip side, Kings are so poverty man. Kinda sad tbh.
Milwaukee going for it and the Kings being the Kings is great for the Spurs assets tbh. I hope more teams in the West start committing to a tank next season.
