The Spurs could probably sign Sexton and be right back in the play-in next season.... The same place they were with Murray.
Yet, you'd think we just traded Michael Jordan.
if thats the case well never really know so its moot

Wouldn't surprise me quite frankly given he saw White go to another yeamand almost ring. He knows we're a long, long ways off from that here...at least on the course we were on. I'd actually be willing to be he told PATFO he was OK with being traded to certain destinations.
Strength in numbers! Draft picks that is. Keep trying and just repeat until you get a duncan or kawhi
Either that or Spurs viewed him as a stat padder and sold before people realized this.
Brian Wright became Brian Wrong all over again. Sucks when you're in summer league and all you have to look forward to is tanking. Spoiler alert -- even if we're the worst team next season, there is no guarantee we get the first pick and draft Wemba banana. Such a bad move. Gallo is just waiting to get waived so he can join another team.
Atlanta DESTROYED the Spurs with this trade.
And... we realize that pick swap is , right? It literally means the Spurs have to be better than the Hawks for it to confer.
Who really thinks THAT will happen? Especially following this policy of dumping anyone who will cost money years before their extensions are due?
Spurs fans and their science fiction stories are hilarious. TimVP already reported about him not asking for a trade. Stop making up.
Can you imagine Atlanta in the last week?
San Antonio calls them up, says, For a few of your crappy 20s range picks, we'll give you our best player, an All-Star on a great contract. You don't have to give us anything else."
They must be jacking each other off right now.
JFC if they don't tank next year.
We were bottom-5 in attendance last season. I imagine we’ll be bottom-3 the next couple years, even with cheaper tickets now. This is gonna be rough.
Huh?
It's 3 unprotected picks. End of story.
I'm not going into what kind of picks they will end up being.
No one knows. But, those who say they know - they definetly don't.
The cycle stops when we finally get a MVP caliber player. Fringe all-stars are not gonna lead us back into contention.
No no no, we can take Gallinari's trash contract off your hands too!
That game at the Alamodome is going to be hilarious next year.
No it isn't, the Charlotte pick Atlanta sent has heavy protections on it, something like top 16 protected in 2023, top 14 protected in 2024, top 13 protected in 2025, and then it becomes two seconds in 2026.
I wish we had gotten more BUT, I am very down with the concept of not overpaying mid-level players.
Aldo, this is just me, but I think the Spurs think if they could get near all-star out of Dejounte, they can get near all-star r real all-star out of another young player soon enough.
DJ is not one to carry a team, so I get not paying a ton of money, and I also get sending him to a good spot. But I did want to have gotten at least one for-sure lotto pick out of wherever we sent him. Ah well.
Another thing to note, DJ is a good dude, but that doesn't mean he and Trae gel. DJ also doesn't necessarily guarantee that the Hawks are better or guarantee that they won't be worse.
What happens if Charlotte winds up in the lottery next year?
The team had one more offseason after this one (where there are no FA targets) before Murray and Poeltl were going to take up considerable cap space between the two of them. And as constructed, the team was a play-in team at best with no path to get better.
You have to look at this trade as (1) it likely improves Spurs’ own 2023 pick considerably in a strong draft and (2) preserves cap flexibility. If they strike big with this crop of picks or next year’s, they won’t be up against the cap.
Extending Murray in a year also probably meant at least one of Poeltl, KJ or Vassell being gone.
They better tank hard for Wembanyama.
Ban this poster for too much logic.
Just like they did with Lonnie Walker, Luka Samanic, Derrick White, and Keldon Johnson!
Murray isn't that guy. He's not a transcendent talent. Spurs can easily find another fringe all-star. He might already be on the roster.
A bigger haul would've been nice but it's pretty much a copy of the Jrue deal. Probably a little better since ATL never becomes as good as MIL even with Murray. Can we honestly say Murray is worth significantly more than Jrue? I think an argument can be made that he's worth less than Jrue. I don't get the outrage. Mediocrity sucks. Time to embrace the tank.
