“Everyone” is not really accurate
Spurs trying to give away Hutchison: "Hey, you want the rest of of these cold nachos?"
Rest of NBA: "Nah, I'm good bro"
“Everyone” is not really accurate
At first glance yes, but seems like market for a high second rounder these days, no?
Depends where in the second round. 31-40, it’s fine, and it’s the Wizards pick, so, probably in that range.
It's the Detroit pick - so even better.
Even better. Someone sold a second rounder a day to two before the draft for like $3-4M, so this isn’t out of line.
And who cares about the cost lol?! I love that Sa is willing to spend money to buy picks - that’s an incredible sign for fans honestly. Especially because it has no long term cap ramifications either. It’s a great move
The Dude being positive about a FO move?! Pinch me, babe, I'm surely dreaming....
Fair is fair!
And this lets the Spurs use cash in another deal if they want to. Cannot send more than a certain amount of cash out in a given year.
Did phoenix suns tweet out that they signed him?

This has a couple of angles in a hypothetical Young-to-Phoenix trade.
The Spurs were trying to include Hutch the deal and then cut him when no deal materialized. In this scenario, they aren't going to trade Young to Phoneix (maybe because they have another Young trade or are deciding to keep him).
Or the Spurs are basically eating most of Chandlers' salary in order to get more value out of the Suns in the deal. It's not likely, since the Spurs could probably just give Phoenix cash in that case and let the Suns preserve Chandler's Bird rights and RFA status.
I do think this is significant, though it might not end up mattering much to what happens next. The Suns wanting two players from the Spurs but SA not getting a trade done will be something to look into over the next few weeks.
^ Young and Hutchison for Saric and Smith (and a protected '24 1st) wouldn't have worked financially.
