a moment of silence for r/NBASpurs users at this difficult time
confirmation that the Power of Friendship stable is on the trading block and might soon be disbanded will no doubt be a scarring revelation
Hey now. Don’t blame us. A lot of Spurs games are Nationally Televised these days. Everyone’s had the pleasure of watching those three ting all over themselves on the court at some point.

as long as the Heat don't include Ware, the Spurs offer is still among the best. Suns are dragging this out to get the maximum out of the deal.
Standing pat is not the worst thing the Spurs can do. Druant's age and injury history beg you to not overpay.
I’m more than happy keeping Barnes than trading for expensive and older Durant. I could see Barnes being a Udonis Haslem like player for the Spurs taking team friendly deals riding the bench.
the Heat ain't even offering Wiggins
Miami is offering Rozier, Duncan Robinson, one of Jovic or Jaquez and #20. Minnesota can't even do a deal until after the draft, which is a huge risk for Phoenix.
Spurs waiting it out til teams talk to KD and he tells them he wants to go to San Antonio is their best bet. Brian Wright can swoop in at any time and make a better offer.
Suns are just leaking stuff left and right to get better offers. And as I said, Shams is Ishbia's friend, so he's doing him a solid to drive the price up.
Vassell is a good player. He’d be good with Booker. I’d rather have him than Wiggins or Gobert. Ware, Herro, or McDaniels are arguably as better than Vassell. Smoke and mirrors on X might be the plan of getting something better.
Agree with RC.
If im Wright im holding my offer at Vassell + Barnes + 14 as a take it or leave it.
Might add in a couple seconds at the last minute to get it over the line.
If the Suns go with another offer then so be it Spurs keep their assets and continue on their upwards trajectory.
If I'm Phoenix... Gobert is what I'd want. Booker could use him and have what he and Mitc had going in Utah. Gobert may have trouble in some playoff match-ups but he's an ultimate floor-raiser.
McDaniels is a great role-player if you're playoff bound and they aren't getting there with him.
Ware is a guy I think will start falling off. He had a good rookie campaign but he's always been iffy in terms of drive and feel. I could see teams adjusting to him and either plateauing or getting worse.
The Suns really want Ware. Miami is not including him though. He‘s a non-starter for them. Miami is basically close to dropping out.
Minnesota has no picks. Their offer is like Conley, DiVincenzo and maybe Gobert. But Gobert is not a fit with Booker cause he clogs the paint. And if they indeed bank on a trade with the Wolves, that means the Suns will have to let the draft pass and wait til July 1st, which means they will be stuck with a Timberwolves deal and no draft prospects.
Rockets have the assets, but their offer includes most likely Jalen Green and no Suns fan wants that guy on their team. His contract is terrible and he plays the exact same position as Booker. He‘s like the worst player in this entire bidding war.
The Spurs seem to bank on nobody meeting the Suns asking price and that they are KD‘s preferred destination. Teams will be hesitant to offer that much for a 1-year rental of KD and nobody wants a pissed off KD on their team. Brian Wright is playing this perfectly.
#14 in a deep draft, Vassell a solid NBA player, Barnes an expiring contract, throw in some second rounders is a solid deal for what 2025 KD is.
Win now piece: Devin Vassell
Salary cap flexibility: Barnes expiring contract
Draft capital: 14th pick
I agree with your analyses, but I think the Suns ultimately take the TWolves' offer.

Spurs have like 15 unattached 2nd Round picks, they could include 10 of them and really get the show going.
I disagree about Gobert. Donovan Mitc slashed more than Booker does, who is almost strictly a jump shooter.
Minnesota's problem is that they cannot aggregate contracts until the new season starts, but since they won't be including picks I'm not sure this matters. Seems they may include Dillingham.
DiVencenzo could draw interest from contenders, so could be flipped. I'd say Barnes could be flipped to a contender, too.
Bro wants his extension.
he's only signing an extension with the Spurs. This is about life after basketball with the WNBA franchise in Austin. He has to be close to that area to start promoting it.
Jeremy just posted this. He gone. Ty has long been full of .
damn, this would be a weird coincidence
He's probably posting the wrong location on purpose
Doubt it. The timing is too coincidental. They just randomly went there for a vacation?
Nah, I looked up the other two guys’ IG. They’re there.
