where are our moves guys??????

I doubt there will be 'moves,' as in plural. The only players on the block seem to be Sochan and Olynyk. The team doesn't appear to want longer-term contracts and are not wanting to move draft assets beyond presumably any second round affairs.

That makes the likelihood of a move fairly slim already. The lean is toward keeping both, or at least not making a trade. The balance between taking on longer contracts and losing assets is probably costlier than any seen benefit.
 
My concern Sochan doesn't get traded, improves just enough the rest of the year to get another contract and falls back next year into what he has been earlier this year. So no upgrade for the PF position next year.

You can only pay 126.7% of the cap before hitting the aprons which is a huge part of why I don't want Giannis. 35% of the cap for a declining old guy is suicide while the Spurs will be setup pretty decently paying around 30% of the cap to Wemby, 25% to Castle, and 25% to Harper in four years. Gives you around 45% of the cap to spend on supporting guys which is enough to make a good 8 man rotation and from there it's cheap rookies and minimums.

45% of your cap could be gone with 2 good role players. Resigning Keldon and Devin over the next 4 years alone could vaporize most of that 45%. If you don't do anything but keep the % of the salary cap the same on Devin and Keldon next deals just those two are taking up basically 30% of that 45%. Congrats you know have 40% of an nba roster with 15% of the salary cap left and depending on if you are looking to sign your own guys or free agents that entire 15% may or may not even be available for you to spend.

There is no "rest of the year" for Sochan. He is not going to just magically start playing if he is not traded

Guys like Keldon and Devin will never get those kind of contracts again. Well, unless the next CBA ends the aprons.

It will be interesting. Keldon and Devin got those contracts on tanking teams that weren't paying anyone any real money. Going forward they would be playing on teams that is going to have somewhere between 3 max contracts are 1 max contract and 2 so close to the max might as well be a max contracts. Interesting to see if the spurs would be willing to pay Devin and Keldon again with that type of money either on the books or coming up...
 
It would be insane to have all this expiring salary and not do anything. Maybe I’m just out of touch with today’s trade market.

Who do we think has the higher price right now, TM3 or McDaniels?

mcdaniels cause he sort of has to be part of a Giannis trade going to the bucks so you probably have to give up a ton for him as it might kill a giannis deal.

Spurs don't operate like a normal nba team. They don't just heartlessly send players to places just to make the team better. Will be interesting to see if they ever change their tune on this.

I could see them not trading Barnes for no other reason that he waved his trade kicker and it saved them a few million dollars. Spurs appreciate this and would probably see trading Barnes as stabbing him in the back after he did them a solid.

Meanwhile AD did the same thing, saved the mavericks about 6 million dollars...and then not even two years later they ship him off to Washington like he was nothing.

Not even two years = basically exactly one year.

Yeah, that's also what I like about the Spurs. Cold hearted moves like Ainge sending Thomas away ain't who we are.
 
BREAKING: The Golden State Warriors are trading Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield to the Atlanta Hawks for Kristaps Porzingis, sources tell ESPN.
