somebody tell me what exactly we are getting out of this? We get a 2nd and trade a 2nd? Is Cam Payne our new starting PG?
Per Shams, Spurs get Cam Payne, a second round pick, cash in exchange for a future second round pick.

Not a good sign for Wesley.
Interesting, Payne is an expiring contract 6.5m I believe.

Blake Wesley banished to Austin until he learns how to in pass
so either we got a 2nd and gave them a fake 2nd (something like top 55 protected) or we actually want to keep Cam Payne
Per basketball-reference.com, Cam Payne’s nicknames are The Campaign, Killer Cam and Haboob
Payne is solid, nothing special, probably on par with Jones. Now we have two backup PGs
Well, it seems that Spurs have given up on trying to find an immediate PG upgrade and will just ride the season out with Tre and Payne.
Solid player, nothing special.
$6.5M expiring deal.
Wesley better start learning Chinese.
We will probably be in on a bigger trade that will require a lot of 1 year salary going out….. we have a ton of moving parts .
So this now makes 18 NBA contracts on our roster, with Cidy and Barlow still unsigned. We can carry up to 20 going into camp, correct?
Acquiring a bunch of expirings you can waive is certainly one way to meet the floor.
Payne does seem like an upgrade to Graham and Wesley
I like Cam Payne, solid back-up. This trade makes the roster crunch even worse though. I expect another trade coming up soon. A 3-for-1 would help, maybe a couple of these.
He's definitely an upgrade to Wesley (which isn't saying much though). Graham is another story
Payne won't affect Wesley's spot, but he might Graham's. It'll all depend on who gets consolidated into whatever trade they'll probably make.
It’s more about the money I think vs fit/performance.
Probably just to fill up the cap. But is a low risk move and Payne is a good backup PG
Yeah I think Graham and Payne are about even to be honest though it’s nice Payne is an expiring contract. Payne is two years removed from being one of if not the best backup PGs though.
Btw, it seems like the pick coming to the Spurs would be one of the 3 they got from Memphis in a recent trade for pick swaps. It'll be interesting to find out which one it is. Phoenix dealt all of their own 2nds in the Beal trade.
Talking a little bit about Payne: he’s a career 36% 3P shooter on 3 attempts per game. In 2020-21 he shot 44% from 3 on similar volume (and played in 60 games that year so it’s not like it was a limited sample like it was the prior year when he shot 52% for PHX over 8 games).
He may not be an overall better player than Graham, but seems like a better PG than Graham.
Our PG issue has been resolved!
We back es!
Blake Wesley rn.
roster consolidation move incoming
