Trade Spurs Trade Ideas

[Robz4000]

Fathead wouldn't be getting a lot of playing time obviously, he'd be a Sochan replacement for the rest of the season tbh. Flip Sochan for a future asset, take on Fathead for a late 2nd.

 

[Em-City]

What do you think Wembanyama would fetch in a trade, given that the Spurs have been winning without him/ or with him and very limited minutes from him? Maybe a starting center AND a starting power forward and some draft picks? Sick of watching the Harrison Barnes mediocrity, he was always the worst starter on GSW when they had him back in the day before Durbeta.

What is Kyle's defensive level like these days?

 

[RC_Drunkford]

Dean Wade and Saddiq Bey seem to be the best options currently. We definitely need a Barnes back up to add some shooting and rebounding. Especially cause he stinks it up in the playoffs more often than not.

 

[Exstatic]

I watched the Knicks- Cavaliers game. I think Mitchell Robinson ate Wade for breakfast and got some more offensive rebounds to digest his meal. Don't know how Wade helps over a putrid Sochan.

Wade actually does a really credible job on…Jalen Brunson. He’s quick enough to stay in front of the not so quick Brunson, and his length bothers him.

Yeah. On second thoughts, Mitchell Robinson has beaten almost everyone to an offensive rebound including Wemby.

Wade has a very good defensive EPM, 91st percentile and that makes him a worthy target.

Bey is an interesting depth bet if he can be had for cheap, but he's always had problems with efficiency, defense and availability. I'd look at other options first.

 

[French Vanilla]

He made a three on 11/30. It’s true he doesn’t take many threes, but he still shoots them in the thirties percent range. Spurs just need a reliable rotation player with size if they are not going to play Sochan. Fathead has good court vision and can set up others.

 

[Vienna]

What would Bey give you that Champagnie doesn't already provide? He might even be shorter than JC, no matter what the listed numbers tell.
IMO Spurs don't need another 6'6" player, just because he is fake listed at 6'8 or 6'9 (like Sochan is).

 

[goprimogo]

with sochan unplayable and barnes getting slower and older they need more size and depth in that area.. especially vs the likes of anunoby

 

[CGD]

Wow, imagine turning Donic into Risacher, Christie, filler, and a few middling picks.

What he gives you? 2 wings instead of one. He‘s clearly a bigger body if you actually watch games.

Would trading for him bring a certain allegedly female member to this message board? #flickthebean

I meant like seriously. Spurs are title contenders with or without Wembanyama, he's extremely injury prone and going to inevitably have a short career, and it's quite possible at this stage of his career he could fetch a Herschel Walker haul. The Cowboys had a great rushing attack but weren't winning Super Bowls with Herschel Walker. But the resulting package they got for him were all key cogs in no less than three Super Bowls.

Ah yes, the miraculous wing multipication, because you get him for..........free?? andd he is bigger than .....who?

Basketball is a different beast. It's a strong link sport, that and the salary cap (with a max for each player too) means a 100 dollar bill is worth more than any number of 20s.

 

[FiestaSpurs]

At this point, I'd like to see this season play out. Only move I think they should make is try to find a suitor for Sochan.

“Spurs don’t need another PG”

…Spurs draft Dylan Harper and proceed to have one of the best teams in the league


Good players are good players regardless of size

 

[LeBowen]

“Spurs don’t need another PG”

Said noone who actually watched the Spurs on regular basis.

Every good player is welcome, but I'd rather get a legit PF because we don't have one than another regular forward since we have plenty of those already.

There were more than a decent amount who said they’d prefer Ace Bailey pre-draft, and if the gap between Ace and Harp wasn’t so wide - it would have been evenly split 50/50.

Let me break it down for the stupid folks:

You trade a non-rotation player for a rotation player. Boom! Now you have more rotation players. Crazy right?

Sochan and second rounders for example.
Bey is taller than 6 out of our 9 rotation players, even though you think he‘s 6‘4“. Get some glasses

Not something we need to spend too much time thinking about at this point... but it would be interesting if Peterson really built a significant gap against the field and we lucked into the #1 pick. At that point, you can't take a 4th guard can you? I'd imagine you'd be able to pick up some nice assets to move down to stay in AJ/Cam/Wilson/Peat range.

 

[Chinook]

So what seems like an obvious move is to trade Sochan and McLaughlin/Waters for some forward making $13.7 Million or less, then signing DJG to a multi-year contract and adding a center prospect for the final two-way slot.

Veteran forwards making between $10 Million and $13.7 Million this season:

Grant Williams
Bobby Portis
Dorian Finney-Smith
Brandon Clarke
Jarred Vanderbilt
Maxi Kleber
Royce O'Neale
Sam Hauser
Derrick Jones

It's not a tremendous list. But at the same time, it seems pretty clear that any of these players should be attainable without having to offer a first with the exception of O'Neale, who's having a great year. CHA, MKE, MEM and LAC are all in a position where they might be willing to let their role-player go for a second or even just Sochan and ballast. I'm just not sure how many of those guys are even solid rotation players on the Spurs, let alone potential starters.

Portis, DFS, O'Neale, and Hauser are the only ones on that list I'd be interested in. I can see each one of these guys contributing in different, albeit significant, ways..

 

[spursfanfromafar]

I think the Spurs have a decent chance to get Hauser. Who is having a down year and might be the guy the Celtics let go to get out of the repeater tax issue. Considering his chemistry with Luke Kornet and the fact that he is a movement 3P shooter he will bring something to the Spurs that they dont currently have, I think. We might know only closer to February and would still need Brooklyn to facilitate by taking Sochan..perhaps for the Jazz 2R pick in 2026.

Oh. Thank you Mr Genious. Could you break down the split of your say 265 minutes you got by getting a rotation player for a non rotation player please?
minutes you need für your guy Bey you take from who? Barnes? Champ? Keldon? congratulation, you just traded minutes to a less efficient player, who is a worse defender and doesn't add any quality you didn't have yet. Great Plan Genius.
