exactly, like cool we got a 2nd rounder, nice. But we also are likely going to end up paying 1.6M for it
But hey, extra pick down the road. assets are assets i guess
They got a 2nd round pick for almost literally nothing. I'm not sure it matters when exactly it is.
But... the Spurs have a slew of picks and young players. They don't need another 2nd round right now anyway.

Assets are always good to have…… leverage & flexibility bode well!
Yes, indeed. Simmons and Dedmon were on that 2016-17 team that went 61-21, and that ultimately got screwed in the playoffs when Zaza stepped on Kawhi’s foot when the Spurs were up by 20 points. Dammit.
It's the little 2RPs thrown in that end up sweetening sick deals down the line to get the trade done
I am not against stockpiling a draft capital chest
He’ll be released. No player who cussed at Pop will wear the uniform again.
It’s a salary dump.
(Or re-traded, per Chinook’s post)
Nor should they! Respect is the foundation for any meaningful relationship.
We were going to pay that anyway being under the floor..
Second rounders are better to have than not have. Somewhere earlier on the board someone posited the point that some teams have been drafting older kids (juniors/seniors) in the second round who are likely more ready to play but have lower ceilings. With the latest thing being drafting 19 year olds in the lottery, there are some high floor/low ceiling guys to be had later in the draft.
As others have said, they can also be used as trade sweetner.
Being below the salary floor means the Spurs would have had to spend that much salary (and then some 14M extra) anyways (paying him or the rest of the roster). So basically no extra money is spent by taking him in (1.5M would be gone either way). Those extra $110k were necessary because the Spurs had to send something back (players, picks, or money), and that was the minimum amount of cash they could send for the trade to go through.
Basically the Spurs bought a '28 second rounder from Miami, for $110k plus the opportunity cost of using that cap space (meaning that we forfeited the chance of using it on something else that may land us better assets, which I wouldn't count on).
Good point mo7888. Being under the floor, that money was always going out just a matter of getting a 2RP out of it if you throw in an extra 110k?
deal! when you look at it that way.
besides that 2 million is about what a 2nd round pick is worth
Perhaps a bit of an overstatement.
It looks like they actually paid a future 2nd round pick as well as the cash.
For s 'n giggles, these are the players selected with all those picks:
Atlanta got 8, 10, 17, 35: Jaxson Hayes, traded to NOP (multi, De’Andre Hunter), Cam Reddish, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Didi Louzada (both traded in the De'Andre Hunter trade.
Golden State got 28, 41, 58: Jordan Peele, Eric Paschall, Miye Oni
Miami got 44: Bol Bol
I think there was another 2nd aquired for 2 million plus a few years back, but I can't find it. Dubs paid 1.3 plus a future 2nd that time.
makes sense when you put it that way, thanks for the explanation
Especially if it's just basically a cash deal. Not coming out of my wallet, so if they want to spent 100K or whateve for a 2RP, add it to the war chest.
I realize some are more casual fans than others, but the fact that trades like this still need to be explained to some is mind boggling.
Anyone remember why he fell out of favor? I remember him having a strong, but then eventually got put in the doghouse, got upset about it, and left
Well quite a lot of NBA fans do not pay attention to the business side of the game. They are only interested in dunks and highlights.
you have to specify if you mean falling out of miami or SA?
i never cared about dedmon. He owes his career to playing with late prime ginobili. Half his salary should go to Argentina
