We don't need a star we got a super, super, super star ✨️ and lots of young talent.
De'aron Fox is the most likely candidate for the Spurs. Would be costly, along with a Jimmy trade. Brandon Ingram doesn't seem like a desire.
Give Sochan, Keldon, Colins and first rounder for Fox
only one makes since is Fox…. Butler is older… and too much too give up. the young spurs are gelling and havent been healthy, now healthy. let them cook! and allow CP3 one more year so Castle and Tre learn more! we have the tools, and dont have to give up the future
Spurs ABSOLUTELY have to make some trades. They have 30 picks over the next 7 years alone. Cant draft that many guys. Some of that draft capital has to be flipped, and you may as well flip them for young scorers.
My three way trade: Washington get the expiring contracts of, Tre Jones Malaki Brenham and Trey Lyles, Zach Collins, the spurs 2025 and 2027 1sts, the Charlotte 1sts, and 2 seconds in 2027 and 2028; Kings get Kyle Kuzma and J-Val; Spurs get Fox and a 2029 Wizards swap
Buy out collins , or trade 1 st round 2030-2031 then get kai sotto for $2M very cheap we dont need fox !unc cris is here! Like cp3 we can win now ,
I say we keep our young core and build thru the draft with our picks wemby is improving as we speak and the team is growing well together. Trading for a win now player might end up hurting us in the future.
Fox is the best candidate for a big trade that I've seen the past couple of years. I would not be upset whatsoever if we got him. He fits our identity like a glove. Im onboard
all this noise to ultimately prolong Zach Collins and Tre Jones 😂
I am kidding….. right? 🤔
Fox wouldn't the missing piece for Wemby. He needs Ball on the hand & sucks on seating bigs. I would rather trade for Cam Johnson. He can spread the floor very well. By the way, CP3 already knows how to ball with this guy.
Lonzo Ball is another lowkey choice with better D & court version passing. Bulls only want several 2nd picks back. We also have their future 1rd pick.
Maybe we go lucky, We will have : Ball-DV-Cam-Sochan-Wemby for start5. Castle in second unit for learning.
And CP3 on the coach seat with Popo.
Dude, they need to trade Collin’s and Keldon for a physical defensive big man !
Nikola Vucevic = 1st rd pick
Acquiring De'Aaron Fox might be overkill. He would be a great but not needed expensive player for the Spurs—who might have to give up so much draft capital to get him.
I don't envision Fox, Butler or Ingram significantly changing the Spurs trajectory where the cost of what they'd give up is worth it. Of the three Fox seems to have the most "Spurs-culture" character. His affection for Texas and his childhood fav player, Manu Ginobili, could see him take a lesser salary to stay longterm. The scoring and speed combo is reminiscent of Tony yet he's not a great 3point shooter and in this current state of the league and the Spurs roster, that's a big negative. Particularly when Wemby is going to see double teams frequently. Plus, his assists are lower than one would expect at around 6 apg. As far as I'm concerned we got our future PG and he also wears #5. Butler is the type of player the Spurs would go after when he's at the end of his career and not requiring a long or pricey contract. It would make more sense now for a title contender to go out and get him. There has been talk about Golden State but I think the Nuggets would be an awesome sleeper choice for him to land with. For Ingram, all the points you made are correct as to why it wouldn't make sense for them to target him. If Pels are desperate and the Spurs can get him cheap, then he's clearly an upgrade at the 3 and makes the Spurs' playoff chances even more likely. Signing him for a longterm deal at the price tag he's looking for isn't feasible.
I don’t want Jimmy but Ingram or Fox I think would be good pickups !
Bringing back dejounte murray? Does know the system, good defender.
here's a crazy stat: over 2,000 views and only 120+ likes?
The history of trades at the trade deadline is not very rich of successes. There are more bad trades than trades which bring a team to better results. Last year, only the trades of the Mavs have brought a major change in the hierarchy and the Mavs made the NBA final (thanks to Gafford and PJ Washington). What bring the other trades ? Siakam at Indiana ? Anunoby at New York ? Harden at Clippers ? The Clippers were eliminated first round. Anunoby was injured most of the season. Siakam should have given Indiana a better team to make the eastern conference final; but what would have been the result of the first round if Giannis would have played ? Let's wait this summer to make some trades and attract good vets at the free agency…
1. Butler is 36 years old, is requesting a max contract on several years (for 19/6/5 on less than 60 games per year). Do you really build your future on him ??? 2. Ingram is requesting a max contract on even more years than Butler (for 22/5/5 on even less games per year than Butler). His defense isn't impressive. His percentages are very average (46% and 37% at 3 [with some bad years]). He is positioned 6th of the NBA in term of TO (3.8 per game – 36% of his team). Do you really want to jeopardize your financial health with this average player who will be injured in playoff ??? 3. Fox's trade makes much more sense to replace CP3 next season. When checking his advanced stats, he is a good player but he isn't very performant at 3 and at FT. Btw I definitely wouldn't spend a max contract on this player but a "Sengun" type of contract (22% of the cap maximum). But I am pretty sure that he will request a max contract.
we gotta keep sochan no matter what happens
Or, and hear me out….they don't have to make any trades are are playing the slow game, building chemistry, and bringing in veteran talent to teach them how to win games (which is working and worth it.) If there is a win now mentality, it should be checked at the door. They are too young, make too many mistakes, and are building chemistry. You have the team buying in and a young coach who the team is listening to, AND they are healthy. Everything is going just as they planning and ahead of schedule. In two years, Wemby will be shooting 40% from 3 and will be the MVP.
Great take Rich! As Churchill once said “You cannot reason with a tiger when your head is in its mouth”… Same goes with trades or acquiring players… You don’t go for players who are at their prime and actually having the best statistical season of their career… You would have to give up way too many assets to make it happen and it does not make really sense when the team chemistry improves game after game as your young roster gets comfortable playing together. So I agree, great player but no thanks, we’ll do it the Spurs way. ❤
Why make a trade while the spurs are in a good path this year. I think it is better to wait until the end of the season
Fox would be great. He had great number against us dispite the good castle defense. Ingram seems injury prone… Buttler very good be not sure he would fit… Too star isn"t?
Be patient and keep pounding the rock. Wemby is happy with the development strategy.
Don't lose the bank on anyone taking the ball out of Wemby's hands.
We need scoring and offense. Jimmy is one of my favorite players but Ingram and Markkenen are the ones that make the most sense. We need a good backup center and an elite scoring wing. Then potentially another pg when cp3 leaves if we’re moving Castle to offball.
Chris Paul isn’t riding the bench, we not getting fox. Jimmy only wants to play for a contender, we don’t want nobody from the pelicans lol
If we trade for a player, I'd want Cam Johnson
They should just aim for higher draft picks instead of trades. Maybe we can trade collins for a 4th pick swap. They probably saving draft capital for wemby's brother to make him happy.
I totally agree with you 💯 percent…..too much money for one player, but it's nice to hear that trade rumors are involving the San Antonio Spurs…
1 Center need valanciunas👍👍
Give Collins and a future draft pick for any of them, that's all
I completely agree with you ,I don’t see any of them coming to Spurs because we don’t pay only one player.
Fox for Vassell,salary filler and picks(2 maybe)
Perennial malcontent Jimmy Butler? Don't make me laugh. Banged up Brandon Ingrahm? No thank you. Fox? Probably not. Spurs stay the course and wave a polite goodbye to Zach Collins.
Naaaaaaah. im good with this roaster.
What about Ingram for Keldon Johnson, Zach Collins and 2 or 3 first rounders. I feel that gets us out of the logjammed 6-11 spot in the west and has us not even in the play in but possibly that 6th seed guranteeing a first round series against the 3 seed and not sneaking in and having to play the 1 or 2 seed. I know he gets injured but like you said Zach is put of the rotation So Keldon for B.I. is an upgrade as much as i love Keldon and can shoot the 3 at a higher percentage even if he doesn't shoot it as often. B.I. is still young and has at least 5 more prime years.
I want Wemby to average insane numbers in his 2nd year but ironically, I hate saying this, I also want the Spurs to miss the playoffs this year so we could have that possibility of drafting higher in the loaded 2025 NBA Draft, and from that point on, in his 3rd season, and onwards, I want Wemby and my Spurs to always be in the playoffs and/or start getting championships.
Foxx is young & proven. Now he will be worth it if we can get him at a reasonable price. As far as Butler & Ingram….hell no!!
What happened with Collins by the way? Why is he out of the rotation? Was there a recent incident that I missed?
alex sar for chris paul and harrison barnes and collins a lots of picks.
If we had to trade for one of those 3, I'd want Ingram, he's a career 36% 3P shooter, at 6'8" and entering his prime. What do the Spurs need? 3P shooting and defense…
I agree that I don't think the Spurs are making a move for any of those guys. If the Spurs did make an in season trade, I think it's easy more likely that we pick up a guy that's closer to someone like Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (a number 2 or 3 option that's a 3 and D player) from a team that wanted to keep taking steps forward but maybe had their star player have an injury or something like that, and so they're fine putting a vet on the trade block to try and get draft a draft asset from the Spurs while also making their own draft asset better…
Don’t forget to add Zack Levine to that montage of people..oh and Lebum.. and Trey young.. oh and nets Cameron johnson * 25 minutes later* weren’t the spurs also linked to lonzo ball too
