Trade Spurs Trade Ideas

If Patrick Williams maintains his strong start, maybe Sochan and Olynyk for him by the trade deadline?

He's underwhelmed, been injury prone and traditionally hasn't shot the 3 with enough volume, but still only 24 and fits the 3 and D big wing or combo forward archetype.

He's overpaid, but if Sochan is going to command MLE type money anyway, it's only another $5 million or so annually for a potential Barnes replacement.

Not opposed to this. Would make Vassell extremely happy as that’s his buddy. You’re not going to trade for the perfect role player, and you can do much worse than Patrick Williams.

He's one of those great role players in theory, but he always goes through these false hope periods, after which he quickly regresses to his usual self.

Oly is "only" 2 yrs older, a much better shooter and better rounder, and doesn't cost you anything. Oly has shot 50% from the corners over the past 3 yrs, he provides the spacing and rebounding we need better than Kyle.
Not sure Kyle's corporate knowledge from 8 season back does anything at all, Oly is more up-to-date on the Spurs today.

After heel surgery he might be a C only. We shall see.

I've really come around on Lauri's fit. I didn't want him last season when a lot of people were in on him, but right now, I'd love him as I feel he'd be a perfect fit. Unfortunately, I like the price to acquire him a lot less than I did last off-season.

Trading for Lauri is going to get you 3 max contracts on the books between him, fox, and Victor supermax. You will still have Castle and Harper in the pipeline for huge paydays as well. Let's say they both get a max or near max. There deals will kick in right when Fox and Lauri deals roll off. I don't think the baby Holt's have it in them to pay 8 consecutive years of 2 max and 1 supermax contracts. He would be a great fit but I just don't see it as mathematically justifiable to trade for him.

Yeah, I know, the salary isn't workable anymore. Definitely not doable anymore. If the Spurs were going to go for him, it would have to have been done last off-season.
Wouldn't have had Fox or Harper, though, as Spurs probably don't trade for De'Aaron and most likely don't get the number 2 pick. I'm not sure if you guys would take that over what the Spurs currently have. I'd much rather Fox and Harper.

How about Fox + Sochan for P Will + Zollins + Tre Jones + a protected first?
