Trade Spurs Trade Ideas

[LeBowen]

I'm liking the Seddiq Bey idea alot.

What would be the realistic cost?
NOLA can't ask for a FRP, but SRPs probably won't get it done.
They have no reason to trade an important rotation player who has another year on his cheap deal for nothing of value.

I think they'd be justified asking for an FRP from a playoff team (or a protected FRP from a fringe team)... but I agree with you, they really don't have anything to gain by trading him unless they get an FRP.

I really wonder what the Dumars-Hawks negotiation was like. Did NOP just offer an unprotected pick straight away? Could they have still gotten the deal by offering Top 4 protection? Even as good as Queen looks, still just a shocking trade. The outlook on the Pelicans would be so much different if they even had a 50% chance at a Top 4 pick.

But with that said... even if Bey moves to the bench with Zion back...

Fears
TMIII
Herb
Zion
Queen

Is exciting on paper.

yeah that's one of my favorite scenarios as well. The problem is he just had somewhat of a breakout game against the Rockets and they are starting to win games. He would fit right in, especially since he can also handle the ball.

I'll have an incredibly homer take and say that I'd be happy if this is our long term roster as long as young players continue developing on their optimal trajectory.
Which would mean Bryant replaces Barnes and becomes the 3-D PF we need. He certainly has the size and athleticism.
Then it's just working around the margins, having a couple more solid shooters off the bench and a high energy third string big.

Fox/Harper
Castle/DJG
Vassell/Champagnie
Bryant/Keldon
Wemby/Kornet

Just relies on Bryant developing... and we still get to add a couple of mid-round FRPs to this over the next couple of years.

I think we'll witness a lot of meltdowns in here over the next few drafts since Spurs will likely trade down or kick some more picks down the road if their preferred targets aren't available.

People say that contenders should take older players that are ready to contribute, but we don't really need those end of the bench guys.
I think we'll take the OKC approach and look for long term replacements for our older guys that aren't necessarily ready right away.

I don't think it's likely Spurs trade away any of the rotation players except DJG or Bryant if he fails to develop, meaning there just won't be minutes for rookies.
Trading those picks for future ones might just be the best thing Spurs can do.

We just can't fit anyone else in the rotation unless they can play as big forwards.

The only way we trade away any of Fox/Vassell/Keldon/Champ/Kornet is if they fail in multiple playoffs. Won't happen before 2027 at the earliest.

IMO, the OKC approach isn't to punt away your picks. It's to use them, including SRPs, both long term replacements (Topic, Sorber) and on immediate contributors (Wallace, Mitchell, Jaylin Williams). IMO, Spurs would be foolish to pass up opportunities to improve the team thinking we are set. Keeping adding talent, because again as OKC has shown, depth is extremely valuable. If you run into a situation where you've created a roster jam, then you flip guys for picks.

With that said, I could see us trading out if we were wiped out... but this year in particular is very deep so hopefully the Spurs don't fall into the trap of getting fixated on a handful of guys and bailing if they aren't available.

I like that approach. I wouldn't move off of this year's pick as deep as this draft is, but 2027 I'd be pretty interested in moving it for future picks.

Justin Champagnie is interesting. Signed through '28 (team option) at the minimum. Small ball four, excellent rebounder and defensive play maker. Sub par shooter, but at least has a functional shot.

The Wizards don't have a four and have been collecting second draft players, so maybe they'd do him for Sochan.

Is he really a four? He's the smaller brother..

Not really, but he can and does play it some and plays bigger than his size.

Sochan plays small ball five on this team now anyway.

I'll be curious to see how the younger brother matches up with our new 2-way tonight.
