timvp DO NOT RESPOND if the rumors of SA trading Dejounte have real truth to them
If they trade Murray Poeltl can’t be far behind.

Unless its for a Jrue like return
If DJ is expressing that frustration, then maybe the PATFO is catering to his request.
Personally I think DJ has reached his ceiling. He is a borderline All-Star. I don’t see him attacking the rim and getting to the FT in a consistent basis. He avoids contacts and settles on elbow shots. I would try to cash on him while his stock is high, having almost averaged triple-double last year, lead the league in steals. I like his fight. But he talks too much. And suspect to be padding stats, just imo. He tends to gamble on steals, and sometimes he gets burn with his guy blowing him by.
Getting Collins, and trading picks to get to Ivey would be great pairing. Or I could settle for Davis and Collins. I seriously think Davis has a higher upsides than DJ, and a better leader, again just imo.
If there’s smoke, there’s fire.
Dejounte to Atlanta confirmed.
Wondering if this is coming from a satirical or butt-hurt place?
It’s coming from 2013 lol
Wow, Wright is taking no prisoners.
I missed that crucial clue.
Holy
Dammit, got me
Lol. Got duped. Damn you, BatManu20
But while we're at it, but, ok you son of a , I'm in.
Cant argue with this. I think this is the reality after that game with New Orleans ended. Granted he was injured, but i think if Murray comes out, has a good game, spurs win that and move on, the at ude in the front office is different. I think that game changed RC and BW’s views on the team.
Spurs trying to fleece atl
Trolling sob lol
Trading DeJounte now is trading him at his all time peak value, and most likely the highest trade value he will ever have tbh. 2 years left on a great team friendly contract, just came off an all-star season.
Nailing this move could set the Spurs up well.
I wonder if the Spurs can keep their 9th pick and get the Kings 4th.
Atlanta: DeJounte, Harrison Barnes
Sacramento: Collins, Okongwu, pick 16 (Atl), pick 25 (SA), future 1sts (Atl)
Spurs: Pick 4, Len (filler)
Works on the trade machine. Spurs could throw in pick 20 instead of 25 to the Kings to sweeten the deal. Or the Hawks could add a young player to the Kings like Huerter. Although not sure how that works given the extension he just signed.
Spurs get pick 4 and keep pick 9. So essentially give up DeJounte and 25 for pick 4. Potential to take Ivey at 4 and Sochan or Eason at 9.
Atlanta gets the best player in DeJounte.
Kings get Collins, Okongwu, multiple 1sts.
Huerter is kind of expendable for the Hawks if they are getting Barnes and Murray. With Barnes and Hunter at the 3-4 spots and Trae, Murray and Bogdanovic in the backcourt.
DJ is not going anywhere.
Spurs could also use pick 4 above to move up to 1-3 by adding other assets (draft capital) and get one of the three big men.
Something that bothers me about Dieng:
I have a theory.
Domestic French players who leave for another country's pro league (not talking NBA) before their draft have been sniffed out as lesser prospects by their local scene.
Before Dieng and Besson, the 2 players that come to mind are Luwawu-Cabarot and Killian Hayes.
With each guy, when I saw that they were in some other leagues and not France, it caught my attention in a bad way. There's plenty of good ball in France, and all the best domestic French were playing in France until draft age. It would be one thing if a French player is signed by a Spanish league team for big money, but we're talking about the Serbia/ABA, Germany and Australia. , now that I think of it, Joffrey played in Serbia before he was drafted.
The real French talent is kept in France until either the NBA or they've moved on to Spain like De Cool did. Parker, Diaw, Batum, Fournier, Gobert, and now Victor Wembanyama.
It these guys were stars in the making then local French orgs would have done what it took to keep them
Dieng had offers from France Pro A, one by the Paris basketball team ( according to the coach himself) but he choosed to go to Australia. It could be for money, it could be for showcasing himself.
But he had offers in France.
2013
But were they big enough that he couldn't turn them down? He might have had offers, but maybe they didn't try too hard to keep him.
But, it's just a theory.
I mean the Next Stars program only pays like $70k usd if I remember right. I think it was only equivalent to the 50k when it started with the exchange rates then
