Spurs aren't going to get 4 1st round picks for Murray

The most likely outcome is Gallinari, 2023 1st (ATL), 2023 1st (CHA), 2025 1st (ATL)

I think the team remained optimistic because we lost to Denver in the Covid year without Bojan and the Clippers without Mike.

right and i think most fans did too. but this year was the nail in the coffin for most fans, and hopefully, for the front office.

We had a chance to sell high on Joe and possibly Bogey while also letting Conley walk last offseason and butchered it.

Yeah people forget that we had the best record in the NBA last season, lol. Even this year we won 49 games and were a Bojan buzzer beater away from forcing a game 7 against Dallas.

Almost forcing a Game 7 against a team that was missing their MVP candidate for the first 3 games. Pathetic

Letting Conley walk would have been dumb as hell. You can still get value for him, especially if you want to tank

Largely because Ingles got hurt and the loss of Niang.

What do you think we can realistically get back for him?

They had fellow max contract player Jalen Brunson leading the way.

If they are just tanking? They can get back a first for sure, especially if you are taking back unwanted salary

The only mistake was I think we basically had his name off the trade table at the deadline last year. If we wanted to move him then we probably could have done better than we would after his poor playoff. It would have hurt our chances to do something in the postseason last year so its easy to understand why we didn't do anything there.

The much talked about KCP/Ish or something for Mike is kind of the lowest value I'd take for him. If that isn't really there then I'd keep him and move him in season. His value will tick up and there may be an injury opening that causes a team to throw some additional draft capital out there. If that is the best offer right now there isn't a lot to lose.

Oh wow, a smart organization sees they have an overrated player who will never win them a ring and they are going to act accordingly to tank and get into a star studded draft while loading up on assets?

So now it looks like the Spurs won't be trading him, lol. So the Jazz should just aim to be a 35 win team like the Spurs?

What's the latest rumor?

What's the latest rumor?

Per LJ Ellis of Spurs Talk, the only player San Antonio actually wants from Atlanta is Onyeka Okongwu. Also, despite BR’s Jake Fischer reporting that the Spurs are looking for three first-rounders in a possible deal for Murray, that’s also false. Ellis notes Gregg Popovich’s squad would take no less than four unprotected first-round picks. There’s talk that the Spurs are looking to trade Murray for three first round draft picks. I’m told that is incorrect. San Antonio’s asking price for Murray is four first round draft picks with little to no protections. Alternatively, the Spurs want three minimally protected first rounders and two unprotected first round pick swaps.

SO jealous

 

[TheStormofWar]

But we're rebuilding while remaining competitive!

If only we had been a 35 win team for years with like 6 wings 23 or under, if only...

 

[YoungJefe]

The Spurs were easily able to trade one player while getting back a dude they'll waive and be in the running for the #1 pick. We'd have to move off of like $70-80M in salary.

If we're going to honor to process, this would be the starting point methinks.

It's much easier to move off of Murray at $18M while taking back Gallo when they already have a ton of cap space then it is to move off of Rudy at $38M and Don at $30M...
