Hope to get a firsthand look at PJ Hall on Saturday. Could fill need at PF/C, and he's demonstrated 3 point shot capability on low volume. He looks like Keldon Johnson in a 6'8" frame, but with much better hair.
So the "3 pick thing" is interesting because...what else are we going to do with those picks? We were supposed to use them to get a second star to go with Wemby, instead we got Fox for all of basically one 1st round pick AND we own a future first round pick swap with the team that Fox played for. We were supposed to use them to maybe move up in a draft to get a player we really wanted, instead we got Castle with our own pick and Harper with our own pick so we never had to consolidate them for a higher future pick in a future draft. Now the spurs are an actual good team and you don't make a good team better by adding the youngest most inexperienced players you possibly can to it, so I would say either the days of us trying to get a top pick to add to this team are over or this is the last year we should put any time and effort into that. So now we are left wth...what exactly are we doing with that Sac, hawks, mavs, and celtics picks? It makes no sense to just hang on to them and hope they end up being top 5 pick down the line cause a top 5 pick is not immediately helping a perennial playoff team, which I think the spurs are going to be going forward. So while those 3 picks for Murphy might be an "overpay" in reality if we could get him for 3 we should probably do it because we don't have much else to do with those picks other than to use them to get players that fit our team, and I don't know if you can find a player who fits better than Murphy does. If we did trade for him at the deadline I think we walk into next season a legit championship level team cause he solves our biggest weakness for the foreseeable future.
Patrick Williams for Sochan, Barnes expiring, and tons of second round picks. Get ready to try and justify it

Portis would be great. @Exstatic will tell us he'll never be a Spur because he punched a teammate once. He might be right.
When Josh Kiddey got traded to the Bulls there were several reporters who said they were surprised cause they had heard Kiddey to SA was a done deal but apparently the Bulls swooped in at the 11th hour offering Caruso and not wanting a 1st round pick back, which is what the Spurs would have been getting to take Kiddey. Anything is possible.
C'mon Brian, do it for Chinook!
I would not do this. He’s not going to get the usage to outperform Vassells numbers to the tune of two 1sts.
I'm not giving up Vassell + picks for TM3. I'd give up salary ballast + picks... I might even give up (hot take) Castle + salary ballast, but I'm not giving a real(active) player + picks. I'm not including Barnes as an real/active player in this scenario.
And eventually (in 8 days to be exact) that 10 day will be over and he could be available again.
Huh? You're not including Vassell or Barnes, but might include Castle?
Yup.... I'm not nearly as high on Castle as others here.... I've been skeptical of his shot for a while and I don't believe it'll ever come around and without it he's just not as valuable... like I said, I know its a hot take..
Mo is also saying that he'd send Castle instead of picks. So it would be Castle + whatever matching salary is required to make the deal work. So essentially it just becomes a straight up trade of Castle for TMIII.
