Normally I'd say yes but I'd rather not deal with Ainge tbh.
Yes
No
Pretty straight forward. Trying to get a head count here on how many people would actually like for us to trade for John Collins.
He's only 27 years old (turns 28 in September) and on an expiring deal. He's owed $26.5M this year (reasonable).
He averaged 19 pts/8 rbs/2 asts/1 blk/1 stl on 53%/40%/85% splits last season with Utah. Would make for a really solid front court partner with Wemby imo.
Do y'all want the Spurs to trade for him? And more importantly, if so, what would y'all be willing to give up for his expiring contract?
Danny Ainge is a stickler and won't let him go for cheap tbh, even on an expiring.
Normally I'd say yes but I'd rather not deal with Ainge tbh.
he has long been part of my "ideal offseason" scenarios. absolutely yes.
we traded josh richardson for graham and 4 SRPs. i dont see why we cant trade keldon and 4 SRPs for Collins. that way even if he doesnt pan out and we dont want to re-sign him, we just get off Keldon's money a year earlier anyway, and potentially can control collins in sign and trade scenarios
Belongs in the washed up role player thread tbh
he is 27 and just had a nice bounce back season
Yes
There’s only 1 basketball to go around guys, Collins is great but we have to many mouths to feed
If he's for the minimum, why not?
It’s been reported that Utah is not expecting much value in return for him, so I’m not so sure Ainge will be asking for some ridiculous/unreasonable package.
If we can flip Keldon and a bunch of SRPs I’d do that in a heartbeat. Throw in Branham while we’re at it.
That's what I was thinking. Keldon + Wesley works money-wise. So does Barnes + Branham. Throw in a SRP or 2 to sweeten the pot and call it a day.
Danny Ainge so no period
i'd comfortably throw 4 second rounders. its not just that we're grabbing collins but we are also having them take on an additional year of keldon money
Yes. Spurs need to shore up the front court and he would fit nicely next to Wemby.
I'm good with dumping Vassell for him straight up. Or any combo of Keldon/Branham/Wesley and however many second rounders it takes
He'd actually be a really solid plug-and-play rotational piece for us imo. His offensive role would basically be to catch lobs and hit open 3's, that's about it. We don't need him to be a creator. Would also be nice to have another veteran piece alongside Wemby instead of an unproven young guy tbh.
If the price is Keldon then yes. If it's Devin, we can probably do a little bit better IMO.
he's got better stats than Lauri and would be the third best player on our roster. If that's washed up, what's with the other 10 guys on the Spurs?
It depends on price.
Yes. Solid low usage player who can rebound and space the floor. Not sure what his defense is like though haven’t done any deep dive on that.
i think the one that makes you stop and think is harrison. his shooting was sorely needed last year.
Yup, this is the way. Keldon + Branham/Wesley + 3/4 SRPs is a decent offer, if that gets it done great, if not you move along.
I’m actually looking to offload Devin for player development purposes.
That's fine. Spurs have more Second Rounders than they know what to do with right now. Hoarding them does nothing for me, especially since we never use them anyways.
Spurs really need to make the Playoffs in year 3 of Wemby and I think a veteran stretch-4 like Collins would go a long way in helping make that happen tbh.
Keldon, Branham and 3-5 second round picks. Get it done.
last time spurs had a meaningful SRP selection was Tre Jones in 2020. before that it was 2011 with dejuan blair and nando de colo.
we should absolutely be moving those picks lol
basically net neutral on bad teams, which means he'd be a positive defensively playing with Wemby. Just play him exclusively at PF and not at C.
