Wow! Just waking up in Australia.

Patty, Rudy and DDR gone.
They finally did it. They are starting to move on.

Very exciting.

so wouldn't we get a trade exception if this happens? Plus can we get rid of Young's 15 million to still offer Collins the max? Like sign Zach Collins with an exception to keep the cap room at 30 million?

Collins is gone. Move on.

[John B]

Sources: The San Antonio Spurs are finalizing sending DeMar DeRozan to the Chicago Bulls for Thad Young, a future first-round pick and two second-round picks.

Young's $14 million got guaranteed yesterday. this team.

[RC_Drunkford]

no Collins. Why the would we want Al Farouq Aminu? this front office

[Chinook]

To clarify, by agreeing to three-year deals with Collins and McD, the Spurs left themselves the option to acquire those players in a S&T. That means, they could either wrap those players up in a deal for DeRozan or trade someone else for them. I don't really have a lot of time right now, but the Spurs could definitely acquire Collins, Collins and McDermott and S&T DeRozan for something else in the same off-season. That particular combo would require them to trade Murray or White (or some other combo that gets them to the $15-Million range). But if we were talking about like a Simmons trade, that might be necessary anyway.

One example:

Trade for J Collins to give ATL a TE
Trade DeRozan and whatever for Simmons
Trade Murray into the ATL TE while simultaneously trading with Portland and Indiana for McD and Z Collins

Simmons, Jones,
White, Vassell, Primo, Jeffries
McD, Johnson, Wieskamp
Collins, Samanic, KBD
Poeltl, Eubanks, Collins

Would probably let Jeffries go for a vet PG using the room exception.

Again just an example. The Spurs haven't even committed to being a cap-space team yet. They have a lot of options on how to structure their deals.

[NASpurs]

RIP the J Collins dream

[baseline bum]

Collins is gone. Move on.

No he wasn't, Spurs could have offered 4 years, $119 million. this front office, burn this franchise to the ing ground. $50 million in capspace to get 1 first rounder and a fistful of crap.

we got our roster boys:

Murray/Tre Jones/Primo
White/Walker/Vassell
Johnson/Aminu/Weiskamp
McDermott/Thad Young/Samanic
Poeltl/Zach Collins/Eubanks



this is the worst Spurs roster I have ever witnessed

[Mugen]

Collins was never gonna happen with this re ed FO, I'm just beyond happy that Depression is gone.

[Darius Bieber]

First Round Pick of Chicago is 2025

[El Santo]

How do spurs always manage to get baloney for their trades while other teams always make a killing trading their stars or semi good players?
This teams is going to be worse than last year ... on top of that they pàying zach collins 7 mil to sit in the bench rehabing....

[cjw]

Young's $14 million got guaranteed yesterday. this team.

NBA changed rules and you can’t trade non-guaranteed contracts anymore.

[NASpurs]

Did we just get fleeced again?

This is advanced tanking - we may not get 10 wins.

My point was we had news on Collins and ATL agreeing to a deal. I agree with you on the rest. All this cap space and Pop and Wrong couldn’t even trade for HITA. absolutely garbage off-season.

[LeBowen]

We all wanted the young guys to get bigger roles, now that all the veterans are gone, our wish is granted.

I wanted Collins, too, but at 30 million a year? Not worth it. He's a good player and a good fit for our roster, but I don't think he'd ever be an all-star in the West.
Idk why are some of you talking about waiving Thad? He's a good rotation player and can even play some minutes at C.

And we'll have $30M cap space again the next year.

Biggest win here is that PATFO didn't waste it on useless scrubs like Markkanen or Oubre.

Now it's on Derrick, DJ and Lonnie to show us what they got, it's about time.

If they don't improve, we're in contention for a top5 pick. Win-win considering Brian Wright's (in)competence.

[NASpurs]

All that's left is to sign Kelly Oubre and be a top 5 bad team.
