We should get Simmons, flip him in 3 yes if necessary. Primo should be ready by then, win win!
Kaminsky just re-signed.
Spurs should definitely be looking to reroute Young now. Between age and injury, he could easily lose value during the season. He's also a poor fit and would only take minutes away from Samanic.
I hope the spurs find a way to trade Thad young somewhere else but I think it’ll be kinda hard, he’s makes like 14 million this upcoming season. Might be hard for a contender to match that salary in a trade
Nice. That might grease the wheels so the DeRozan deal gets done.
max cap space end up with 2 white basketall players..........if spurs were located in austin collins wouldve been a lock signing
I'm okay with whichever way the Thad Young decision goes. Trade him for picks and another expiring contract? Yeah, that's good. Keep him as a veteran rental? Not bad. He's a good player who is loved by all his teammates. It's difficult to find vets who are both good and beloved on expiring deals ... so keeping Thad and reassessing the situation near the trade deadline is fine.
From strictly an asset management angle, you'd probably want to trade him now because his fit is iffy (I'm not sure if the Thad and Poeltl pairing is going to work offensively, tbh). But, yeah, he'd be a good influence in the locker room and a steadying force on the floor so that holds value too.
Thad should def not start next to poodle. Pretty sure spurs hold to him for now though but id like for them to move him asap
Dougie should have all the CREAM the team needs, hopefully they can trade Thad this off-season.
Thad should start at center
Suns, Celtics, Nets, Jazz and Pacers should all be interested in Young
Does Yak have any trade value? To me, he’s becoming a difficult fit. The poor shooting is obvious. But it feels we need a point guard who can get him involved in the pnr. White should do that but seems to be the shooting guard more than the point guard. DJM is improving through repe ion, but not ideal in my opinion. Anyway.
Ben Simmons would work great with Yak in pick in roll..... virtually unstoppable.
Poeltl stock rises just before the deadline if a contender loses their starting center for the season.
Good point. Will also be interesting to see the ascension of Jock and how that complicates our center position, in a good way.
To me, Yak has lots of untapped potential. I can’t tell if he lost whatever microcosm of swag he had in college or he just isn’t a hard worker. Anyway, doubtful he will be traded, but if Primo and Jock do well, I’m intrigued about shipping DJM and Yak.
Walker? What’s the update with him? I recall a deadline coming up if we want to extend him. Right now, I say wait.

Edit: I mistook this page for off-season banter. Oops. Back to Forbes angst.
Two players who are awful free throw shooters and Simmons cannot even take a jump shot. Simmons is even worse than Poeltl from the line. Good idea -- two guys who you cannot play in the fourth quarter although Jakob is actually improving.
I doubt they trade Poeltl. He's on a really reasonable deal and does some really vital things on the floor.
Pelicans, Hornets interested in Lauri, no mention of the Spurs:

spurs already not getting lauri due to price. seems in line with what everyone here is thinking. dont think they will change their mind unless he lowers his price.
He mentioned Simmons and Poeltl together on the pick and roll, but they are both so pass oriented, they’d both stop under the basket and pass the ball back and forth. Lol
I agree with you that a deal for Poeltl is doubtful. People focus too much on players as individuals. For the team, the Spurs won’t find a better center than Poeltl in that price range.
And about Simmons, whatever his awards and stats may be, he sure isn’t looking like a “team” player.
Frank the Tank for the Tank!
I'm intrigued by Thad Young trade scenarios, but he also has a lot of value to the team as he is, a veteran hustler who can fit in and take some quiet leadership duties as the newer players progress.
But getting a first for him would be electric, even if it means taking on more long-term salary. Managing to get two first round picks for an already-departing Derozan would be amazing.
