KJ is on a team friendly deal with the cap expected to e. He has good chemistry with Vassell and Sochan. I wouldn't break that up. I'd give back the Hornet's protected pick (to the Hornets) and give them one of Atlanta's unprotected pick. Give them McDormett and take any bad contracts from them.
That does sound better. I haven’t followed much discussion of Scoot, just some here and there, because I didn’t expect the Spurs to draft that high. I’m such a pessimist. Lol
But yeah, IMO the Spurs need a “real” point guard, who can run a complete offense, and who shoots at least league average (so his defender won’t sag.)
Going to be more like what Denver does with Jokic with Murray bringing the ball up but once we get into a set Wemby is the primary person making decisions with the ball in his hands
I actually think if Portland gets word that Charlotte is going to pass on Scott...they just trade Dame for whatever and they start over with Sharpe and Scoot as they backcourt.
So, sort of like how Duncan was used. Yes.
Cause 4 1st round picks are more proven?
Johnson isn't worth a third pick, not even with future draft capital attached, since too much of it is too far off to have a sense of the quality of it.
That's what they should do. What they likely will do, is offer 3 + Simons and maybe another 1st for Bridges and maybe Thomas.
Since a Henderson-Simons back court is too small defensively, the Nets should try to pull in a third team (Magic?) and get back better fitting youth/draft capital.
Just because they jumped off a cliff doesn't mean we have to follow.
Scoot would require too much in a trade imo. I'd target Immanuel Quickey before I'd make a run at Scoot. Quickley is still young, undervalued, inexpensive, and has the chance to be very good-- and even if he doesn't evolve into "very good," he's established for three straight years that he has a big net positive impact on winning. Plus the Knicks are overloaded at the guard positions, and might just be dumb enough to trade him.
Yeah come on, 4 or 5 picks for Scoot is pure craziness. If at least, there were signs he could be a lethal 3pt shooter but he's no generational talent. I mean I didn't want the guy with our first so 4 FRPs for him is mad. You're buying hype and hope for that haul, with no clear signs he'll really dominate.
Not a good enough ball handling/play making to be a starting PG unless you have a wing or Jokic to render that moot.
Scoot at #2 is too expensive and his potential for bust is high. I rather they package for Anthony Black at #6-10. Bigger and better defender. Also we don’t want a ball dominant PG to pair with Wemby.
Exciting times but a lot of crazy ideas in this thread as far as I can tell. Why would we put all our chips on the table before Wemby even plays one game? And for someone unproven? That’s bold.
I would definitely like that as it would be a lot cheaper and probably better for our team as he could play 1-3. But in all honesty I am cool going into next season and seeing with my own eyes how Wemby plays and what looks good around him. Also, want to see the growth of our other first rounders you know they extra pumped knowing they going to get a lot more TV time.
They’ve been scouting this kid the last 5 years, and with TP and Bobo out there with first hand look. Yeah, they know what they’re getting. The PATFO would not have decided to trade all its chips, tank like they did, if they were not sure what they could potentially be getting. Now they have 50 FRP’s, no non-movable contracts, good young assets, in great position to make whatever move to pair with Wemby, because they know exactly what they’re getting.
Scoot is gonna cost a lot in assets, cost a lot in salary, and may not match a need. He was at a 30% USG rate in the G-League and Wemby is likely gonna be around the same.
I still can't believe we got Wemby. I'll have to wait for his first minute on the floor with a spurs jersey to really realize.
not giving up, but also not considering the position solved just because he's on the roster. bring in compe ion. a surplus of talent is a good problem to have
Wesley might do it as a back up PG, or third string I don't know, but I really don't think he can be a starter in this league (on a non tanking team)

This is a good distinction. We really don’t want a ball dominant pg. particularly a ball dominant scoring pg. Black looks like the perfect fit but I wouldn’t give up Keldon. We have a productive core worth keeping until something significantly bigger is available.
I have no issue packaging up picks for Black. I don’t even mind over paying for Black. Just not Keldon, Vassell, Sochan and probably not Malaki either.
i would have gladly taken Scoot at 2 but im not a fan of mortgaging so much of the draft capital that we've build up for him. i'd be much more in favor of a more modest deal to move up for anthony black depending on where he falls. all these picks we have could also be used to acquire established players who we know can come in on day 1 and be good players
he's still so young that we have no clue what he will look like at age 24, 25, etc
but im not closing the door on going after starting PG talent just because he's under contract
I think eventually we will have exactly that.
More seriously, the limits Blake showed this year seem unsurmountable to me for him to really be a relevant player. He's not just mediocre in the paint and at finishing at the rim, he's terrible, clueless and lost. He may get a bit better but not enough to really matters imo. He's starting from too far, scratch basically.
No argument there. Honestly we have no idea who the FO is even interested in at this point. For me. Thankfully the FO is shrewd.
We need that more than anything right now.
These teams that make big moves rarely end well.
