quinndary will get picked up by some team and, down the road, post a 7 for 11 from three-point range night, thereby resulting in a thread about why the spurs let him go.
Not a surprise to me, anyway. I think his ticket was punched when Tre was drafted and signed to the big club roster.

I have to disagree that any position is safe on the Spurs. We’ve had two losing seasons in a row. If there’s any rationality left, nobody’s job is safe, and no player’s minutes are safe.
Well, I’d consider Devin and Luka safe because we don’t even know what they can do yet. I wouldn’t give up a player whose abilities are unknown. Perhaps add Tre to that.
But anybody else could go, if a better player can be found. That includes Dejounte, Derrick, Keldon and Lonnie.
If I could get Bullock I think I’d look to move Lonnie. I’d hate it but I’d do it.
Doesn't even get a minimum offer from the spurs ... at least it opens up a two way slot.
Word is he could fetch the MLE. He makes no sense for the Spurs, who have 1-2 (presuming DeRozan is gone and Johnson plays more three, that leaves Mills and Walker IV as question marks) open rotational spots from 1-3 and have a need for another creator and off movement shooter.
I think White and Lonnie are at the top of that "could trade list".
Lonnie would be especially enticing to a team wanting to make a low-risk, high-reward move considering his possible extension.
Derrick probably has a red flag on him right now due to injury concerns, and his contract is already set at (or maybe slightly above) value.
Either way, the Spurs have a lot of young guys that are still uncertain to develop, and can't hold on to all of them.
Kelly O anyone?
Have not heard good things about him and don't think he passes the Spurs Pub test.
Blows kisses at people after hitting 3s, thinks he's a star etc.
Former GS centre Andrew Bogut supposedly revealed on his podcast that he gave the Warriors an ultimatum, "...he wouldn't be coming off the bench next season."

Sorry, Kelly olynik
Agreed everyone is tradable
two way slot will likely go to the 2nd round pick this year, which means dont expect them to play much unless they throw part of the MLE instead like they did with Tre
players paid least get played the least
Oops, my bad on the assumption. Hope you found my O'ubre musings useful at least
I think it all depends on the pick. Jones was on many boards as a first rounder, which is why he got a roster spot. He was drafted at 41. Q was drafted at 49. So basically a top 1/3 second rounder vs. a bottom 1/3.
I suspect that the covid infection sealed the deal for them.

Tell us again about how Milutinov is still coming over and going to save us!
Hi. I’ve been waiting for you.......
One free agent that has the potential to be a sleeper is Furkan Korkmaz of the 76ers. He's a good three point shooter at 6'7" and becoming an average defender after being a poor defender his first couple of years. I don't think he'd be expensive, but I also don't think Philly will want to spend too much on him either, having a bit of a logjam at SG/SF and a team payroll that will already be at $130mil this summer before any signings.
He's one of those guys that's showing slow steady improvement-- nothing spectacular, but definite improvement-- and he's still not yet 24 years old.
Here are his WS/48, BPM, and VORP for his first four seasons:
'17-18, age 20:
WS/48= -0.006
BPM= -7.6
VORP= -0.1
'18-19, age 21:
WS/48= .079
BPM= -1.8
VORP= 0.0
'19-20, age 22:
WS/48= .085
BPM= -1.3
VORP= 0.3
'20-21, age 23:
WS/48= .092
BPM= -0.3
VORP = 0.5
If he continues on this trajectory, it's plausible he'll be a good shooting, net positive player a few years from his prime-- maybe the perfect time to sign a reliable bench guy on the cheap.

Nice find! I wouldn’t mind at all....
Is Otto porter an Ufa this off season?
He hasn’t even been a league average player in 3 years.
Sooooooooo, Drummond is probably out in LA. If I recall, we don’t want him. What if he were willing to take a redemption contract in the upper single digits or lower double digits in terms of salary?
Would you sign Torry Craig this offseason who is a FA?
No thank you
I've thought about this after reading an article on ways we could move up in the draft. They don't mention Kemba, but given the new FO in Boston it would be worth looking into.
The two other options the article gave were: Spurs taking on Wiggins contact for Minnesota's pick or Love for Cleveland's pick.
Honestly I would take either of the latter. We aren't winning a chip in the next two years (the length of each contract) but those picks may be good enough to find a franchise cornerstone that could lead us back.
I'm partial to the Love trade because I think he could run at the 4 and spread the floor with his 3's. With DDR gone his minutes would be freed up and we could have a solid 1-3 rotation with our young guys while still using Johnson as a backup 4 occasionally. Tons of minutes to go around, time to develop the young guys, adds 3 point shooting, and provides a great pick in the process. Doubt they would do it though. They're in no desperation to clear up cap space.
GS might because they are overloaded and moving Wiggins might give them the relief they need to find a quality role player to go with the current roster. They certainly have reasons not to though. Why keep Wiggins for two years then trade him away right at the finish line?
