JFC that hiptoro site has a bunch of blockbuster trades listed as inevitable![]()
Colby white was 7th pick in 2019 draft. If they would take a later 1st round draft pick like 2026 or 2027 I'd do it. We should be starting to contend by then.

Graham and 4 seconds buys you Josh Richardson
Josh Richardson does not buy you Colby White
just shut up and enjoy the Brogdon/White backcourt (ignore that graham is getting traded here too)
Branham for Moody would be highway robbery![]()
How about 7 seconds? Or less?
LOL these trade proposals and articles from ChatGPT
Who the is Colby White?
If we're give up a 1st round pick (lol at that idea), can we at least get Coby White?
Coby is in the first year of a 3/$36MM deal with Chicago. A definite bargain contract for his level of production this season. I could easily see a contending team give up an FRP for him. If the Spurs could get him for Graham + CHI's own pick back, I'd pull the trigger in a heartbeat. Having a capable starting PG on that contract would do wonders for us, and if we picked a PG in the draft, it would buy that player the time needed to develop properly.
I remembered when we played the Bulls the commentators noted that Coby was 3nd in the league in 3PM this season. Looks like his has fallen back to 8th, but still only 8 3PM behind Desmond Bane who is currently #3 (then a big gap between Luka at #2 and Steph at #1). 39% 3P shooter on high volume, averaging 17ppg this season. Only 5 apg, but the Spurs are 4th in apg this season with Tre being the leading individual assist leader at 4.9 apg. We don't necessarily need our starting PG to be a 8 apg guy. The current starting "PG" (Branham) only averages 2.5 apg.
Dude has a nice cheese though.
I thought it was Coby too. Oh well. Also I'd just assumed it would be the Chicago pick. While that's not great, it's not horrible for a starting or key rotation player. And he's already locked up for a couple of years.
I think he’s pretty much a knucklehead, got that JR Smith gene, minus all the talent.
that. You don’t know if the Raps pick might turn into a star, but we already know that Kuminga won’t. Keep the pick, and roll the dice.
Typical Spurs move. He kills us every time we play them, but won’t do once he gets here.
Coby is shooting .393 on 7.2 acts/game. That is far above average.
Correct - they are functional players which DET lacks totally vs SA. We also aren’t nearly as far long in the rebuild as DET and even though we both suck DET obviously feels different than SA in terms of vibe/hope/pressure.
Do I think it happens? Nope. But they seem to be as desperate team and those teams do silly things sometimes.
According to Shams, Toronto is in advanced discussions with a west conf play-off contender for siakam. Any idra who and more importantly, any way we can participate?
GSW makes the most sense here, though OKC would be disgusting with siakam lol
edit: shams specifically said Kings
I didn't hear tbe 'kings' part...hmm
what can kings even offer though? Huerter and Harrison Barnes? malik monk? none of that makes sense. they can agree with ATL to lift protections on the Huerter pick so they can offer 26/28/30, but raptors seem to want good players and not picks, seeing how they handled Anunoby
not sure the kings package makes much sense for the raptors. could be trying to goad the warriors into doing something with their disgruntled young guys
And would they give 3 1st's for a rental?
not necessarily but maybe raptors would want 2, or want one in 26 instead of waiting till 28. either way, doesnt seem like sacto can offer anything that makes sense.
What would yall feel about kicking tires on trading for Lauri to pair with Wemby? Let say it cost Graham + Branham + CHI first + TOR first + CHA pick + 2 2nds (something in that mold - dont get too caught up in every minor detail here)
that offer? without blinking
for what i think it would actually take to pry him? i dont think it will be worth. our roster has way too many holes. we have like 6 nba caliber players right now, and 2 starting caliber guys.
if there was a team that could justify making a huge offer, its OKC
I think Lauri would be a great addition to this team (but I don't think you're even sniffing him with the deal DPG threw out there). Let's say you could somehow add Coby White and Lauri to the squad without giving up Keldon or 24 or 25 draft picks. All of a sudden your 2024 opening day roster could look like this:
White/Draft Pick PG/Tre
Vassell/?/
Draft Pick/Keldon/
Lauri/Sochan
Wemby/Collins/Bassey/Barlow
Assuming you use the TOR pick on a developmental PG, you could use our pick on any of the other top non-PGs. I think this looks like a team ready to contend for a play-in spot while your rookies develop and you have two more picks in 2025 to add. Maybe you get a Gordon Hayward to start at the 3 and you draft a Walter to backup Devin.
I'd also be hesitant to deal with Ainge, just because I think he would embarrass our FO in a dealIt will probably take a DJM-like haul (or better) to get Lauri.
Lauri's DRTG has taken a hit in Utah (but DRTG is down across the board in the NBA as the average ORTG continues to increase), but he was a pretty good defender in CHI, usually around a 110-113 (for reference, Wemby is a 110 - Gobert is the top starter in the NBA this season with a 105). He definitely isn't going to turn our defense around, but he is a good rebounder which we could use.
His ORTG is off the charts though at a 129 this season (Halliburton is a 135, to give you an idea).
