I think they get a really hefty fine tbh because if you mess with the picks you end up screwing these other teams that were involved.
They'd probably just lose the first round picks they can't trade.

Yeah, that's what makes sense and what I hope. Take those Stepien firsts but leave the rest.
It would be awesome if the league took off the protections to the picks they traded to the magic & Spurs lol
Now that is a real punishment. Let’s hope they do that haha
So like some us thought may happen; these deals seemed to be getting expanded. Seems pretty likely Collins will be a trade and/or Thads going somewhere else
Interesting...
Any instinctual thoughts to expand upon the subject?
It always made sense to use your space to acquire assets like Wright has been doing. Obviously Sa had cap space and didn’t need to do trades but they have sought it out and now that they are hard capped (due to receiving Doug in a S&T) it only makes more sense to pursue Collins as a S&T to get another extra 2nd round pick
The Derozan trade is more likely being held up due to tampering investigation but the point was always still true there regarding THAD. We know that’s a trade but waiting to finalize it so you can pull in a third team to send THAD to makes the most sense. Lots of teams that are PO teams can use him and SA can cash in now to make the Derozan trade even better.
Even someone like POR makes sense for Thad, right? Pressure to improve, not many assets and have a chance to turn Zach who you’re losing anyways into Thad by adding a first? Has to be appealing and if not still lots of contenders/teams pushing for PO I’m sure would be interested
I would love for them to flip Thad. It would also an affirmation of how they see themselves.
Sounds like a hopeful, into the season proposition.
Certainly could be a possibility. Many variables will happen.
Thad into a first...
And then we get into the details of protections.
Which we never think about until the damn deal happens and then debate unto...
Mutual dissatisfaction?
Any first for Thad is a win in my book. He’s not truly a fit and he will for sure leave anyways next season.
Collecting picks for Simmons?
No idea who that guy is but if Phoenix is will to cough up a first that would be amazing
Brian Wright is definitely on his . He’s flipping these players fast as . If we can get a 1st round pick for him that was a great offseason
Apparently Saric is out for 9 months and Suns fans are saying Saric + 1st round pick for Young would
make sense. Of course that’s just fans talking, but that would actually be a great trade for us.
Now we talking let's put this Tanking...cough.cough I mean retooling into Over Drive...
no.Collecting picks for Simmons?
There are lots of scenarios that make sense. PHX, POR and many others. Easily would do Saric + Kaminsky + 1st for Thad
Besides doing the trades for Collins and for Thad Sa should be active in Simmons deal too. Sa has good young talent too and even if they don’t get Simmons, if they can get picks + young prospects for Murray or White they should consider it.
Jalen Smith about to play in summer league for the Suns. Maybe it could be Saric and Smith for Young.
Do people have no clue who Ben Simmons is? Thank God this franchise is smart enough to steer far clear of that guy.
I’m saying SA doesn’t get Simmons but uses White or Murray to help another team land Simmons
I was in the camp of wanting the spurs to pursue Simmons but seeing how he’s trying to dictate where he ends (GSW or one of the LA teams) I’m out on him, he wouldn’t want to be here in SA.
