Magic are $5.6M above the tax. A way to put them below it using Spurs and Bitadze would be: Spurs trade Biyombo and Waters for Bitadze Magic trade Bitadze for Waters Third team trade nothing for Biyombo Add the necessary second round picks and cash consideration to make the trade CBA legal and...

@SpursBills I agree with you that there isn't an obvious fit projected between #10 and #20 for Spurs at that early stage of the draft. It might be different in 3 months but that's the current situation. Some additional points: - It's looking more and more like Spurs might be headed into...

Spurs being interested in Alvarado and Keon Ellis is weird... Barnes losing his 775 consecutive starts streak is weird... Trade deadline is in 5 days... :st-stirthepot:

I quite agree with you but I just doubt Spurs FO and coaching staff think that way. Guaranteeing both Waters and Biyombo is quite a sign of lack of ambition for this season. The way Mitch is coaching sometimes also hints into Spurs being more development oriented. Spurs have so much second...

If Spurs FO thinks that: 1) Spurs aren't a true contender this season. 2) Carter Bryant is a legit prospect who will turn into a quality 3&D role player. then doing nothing significant at this trade deadline makes a lot of sense. Spurs have already their main rotation for 2026-2027 set with...

His contract expire in 2028. He has a $15.6M player option for 27/28.

Trading for Bobby Portis likely means that Spurs won't be able to keep both Champagnie and KJ after 2027. Given their ages and what Champagie and KJ are showing this season, I rather stick with them.

His rookie contract is quite an issue. Spurs would need to pick his $10.4M 27/28 option before the start of the 26/27 season to keep him. Money will start to be tight in 27/28 for Spurs with Wembanyama's extension. Spending $10.4M on a gamble like Salaün is too much to me.

I don't expect Spurs to get a quality player back for Sochan. The trade will likely be Sochan for a random expiring contract and maybe some cash to offset salaries. Given teams interested in him, Jevon Carter, Maxi Kleber and Pat Connaughton could be the random expiring contract Spurs get.

Right now, I think there are 4 different kind of trades Spurs could do: 1) Getting a Barnes replacement: Barnes is aging and will be a free agent this summer. Spurs will have to replace him sooner or later. They can wait this summer to see how Bryant has improved and what will happen during the...

A telling stat: Fox usage without Castle on the court (651 min): 28.9% Fox usage with Castle on the court (484 min): 21.9% A 28.9% usage is about what he did with Kings. Fox is clearly taking a step back to give more touches to Castle. I'm quite convinced that the FO Mitch are viewing this...

When you combine all his game with Spurs (summer league, preseason, regular season and gleague), Bryant is 25/98 (.255) from 3s. Since Spurs don't have a shooting coach, it would be interesting to know with who Bryant is working on his shot.

That's me. :)
