I'm not advocating that we trade for him but he's worth Sochan, Oly and Kornhub combined. The value is there and he's impacting his team positively.
this. We just need a PF that can shoot 3s at a high volume and play good perimeter defense. I still see Jerami Grant as a valid option. Overpaid for 2 years and has a player option for his 3rd year. Shouldn't cost us anything but expiring contracts to get him.
Thisss. Locking in another major huge contract will completely cripple spurs’ flexibility. And with how crazy alone wemby affects the game, spurs’ priority should be depth over having 3 big contract players.
Yeah, this is where the scouting team and GM can really get us to the next level, by finding a relatively inexpensive young up-and-coming FA or trade piece who fits with Wemby, Harper, and Fox, who then has a break out season in his new surroundings.
Someone is going to throw a huge bag at Kessler next summer when he hits free agency so he's not a guy the Spurs can afford in two to three years.
This is where I'm at as well. Trades and the draft are part of what I love the most about the NBA, but it's hard to see a trade that makes sense right now because of where we are. I think we might look at a buyout candidate later in the season, but that's about it.
Should probably trade Sochan since the Spurs won't be able to pay him the four year deal he'll be seeking and most likely able to pull as a RFA. And if the opportunity comes to flip Vassell into a similar quality vet on a two or three year deal you'd have to look at that since Vassell's money could make extending Castle tough.
I guess the point,is, he’s Keldon,who people here bitch about being overpaid. Why do we need two of that, especially since there’s a near certain chance he would pick up his 28-29 option, the salary climate being what it is. That’s after the point where we want salary on the books.
Only people here hate Vassell. He made like 3 of 5, or 4 of 6 of the top 100 player lists, so it’s not just fans, either.
I'm not worried about Vassell this season. Obviously if something good came up that's not there now I'd do it, but I don't feel like we need to just because of future money. Sochan though, I'd actively try to move him if there's a market, although I'm not sure there is. If we don't find anything, having him walk for nothing really isnt that bad to me...
He’d be a sign and trade candidate before just letting him walk.
I'd imagine he would be a S&T. Im just saying even if we lost him for nothing it's not the end of the world as far as I'm concerned.
He damn well better make every top 100 list, considering he's the 65th-68th highest paid player in the league:
sochan is bench depth?
I think you underestimate the value of his hustle and general energy. It’s been awhile since he’s been on the court. You can’t flip him for two rotation players so I’m not sure you’d be gaining depth.
For about a year I've been saying Champ is like 70% of Cam Johnson.
A lot of those contracts lower than his increase in salary every year. This is the point y’all don’t seem to understand. Vassell‘s contract dips and otherwise stays the same, so he will slide down the payroll list anyway.
Agree mostly.
A really good example of why it’s bad GMing to constantly shuffle pieces looking for gold or bargains.
