Its all a negotiating tactic tbh to draw other teams in.
None of this passes the sniff test. They’re one good player away from making a nice playoff run.
The rumors only have them returning picks and Gallo. Just doesn’t make sense.
I don’t disagree that there are higher upside players but Sochan’s ceiling is all nba defender and he’s 19. To me he has plenty of upside in an unusual mold. I think the Spurs kind of knew they would get 1 of Branham or Wesley but did not expect both.
I am sure this is what was said about jokic, kawhi, Giannias, and others. the only #1 pick that jump to mind that is considered franchise is embid. You have Ja and luka that were top 3. That still is 3 top 3 vs 3 not top 3. btw I dont consider durant and lehype as they are old. if you do that you also have to include curry .
Right? I mean I’m not completely against trading DJ but Gallo + picks is a joke to me.
Surfing the Web so it looks like the natives are restless the Celtics want in and New York want's in depending on what happens to Brunson. They definitely got the draft picks after the trades they made this past week. So may the best or worst organization win..
The ing from edgelords about the team tanking is outdated. The Spurs want to move the All-Star that they drafted in the 20s. Apparently, they're willing to do that because the guy they picked at 12 last year is still someone they think will be better. So either you want the team to tank because you trust their judgement with prospects and thus should not panic about a Murray trade, or you don't trust their judgment because they think Primo is a great prospect and thus shouldn't want the Spurs to tank.
Brian Wright also doesn't make particularly bad trades. I think that narrative died last year. The Leonard trade was the Leonard trade. The Bertans trade wasn't that bad and was made under false pretenses. Every other trade was fine. Outside the one time where folks meddled with the team and forced their hand, the Spurs have always drove a hard bargain on trades -- and that's resulted in them letting someone like Aldridge walk. Why people would believe the Spurs would go from Collins and three barely protected picks to Gallo and lotto-protected picks off the back of a throwaway line from a guy who keeps admitting he doesn't actually know anything is doomerism. I keep saying I don't believe the Spurs intend to trade Murray right now, and I stand by that. But if they did, it wouldn't be the worse thing
so Gallo's contract being guaranteed seems to be a move in general, not really related to a DJ trade. Fischer does say the Spurs seem to be gearing up for a rebuild or at least some parts of the Spurs FO are feeling out that situation. The guy doesn't have any Spurs intel though, so he's probably just guessing
I agree it doesn’t make sense. Pretty sure Spurs would want Bogdan back. Danilo makes sense if they don’t like John Collins and his huge long contract.

Very interesting trade proposals
I hear you man, and I go back and forth on the tank v max Ayton camps by the hour(!) , but if there was ever a year to start the tank it’s now. Apparently the French kid is just that special.
I'm of the opinion that these trade rumors are fluff.
But if it does have legs and it does go through... I'm now willing to look at Timvp's assertion that the team looks at Primo as the man to run the point with eyes wide open.
Maybe even allowing a tank season riding around his development as the PG and all of his mistakes in the process.
That’s very fair. He also appears to have innate leadership qualities and has been playing against older players seemingly his entire life. PATFO may feel somewhat comfortable that he, along with some of the young carry overs can help fill that rather large void undoubtedly left with a DJ trade.
End of an era…
Right? I mean I’m not completely against trading DJ but Gallo + picks is a joke to me.
If anything I hope it give other teams FOMO and they get involved.
Take this for what you will… That Hawks “insider” on their fan website said this.
I got three updates
Most of the league thinks that Atlanta and SA trade should be made soon. SA brass all realizes that they are best going for Wemby, Henderson, Smith, and the Thompson twins and the fact that 2023 draft is so deep, they want as many picks as possible.
Atlanta is working with Gallinari to close out the trade. I know, you already know this but its confirmed.
Kyrie decided he wasn't passing on 40 million and losing his BR. He made a business decision and Brooklyn called his bluff.
Ayton market is greatly depressed as Detroit has moved to Miles Bridges. I am told PHX and him expect to work out a deal in a favorable range with Ayton.
One and two not bad.....
I followed this guy for two offseasons and he’s had zero “reports” that have come to fruition yet people still eat it up
Yeah, it's weird that an insider for one team knows what "most of the league" thinks.
as far as I know for all these years he never made one right call. This has all basically been reported or is common logic. Doesn't mean anything tbh
not weird at all. More like complete bs
if the Spurs want as many picks as possible in the 2023 draft they can just take on bad contracts and move J-Rich and voila they got 3 picks
