Other moves don't have this kind of impact. Gallo, Rondo and even Bogi...but this one locks you in.

You're trying too hard, peo.  I'm out.

Someone that's "garbage" just was packaged to help us get Dejounte Murray.

I don't think we can have a garbage defender at SF.  Hunter shot 38% from 3 last year and they were almost all catch and shoot type shots setup by others.

Huerter isnt as bad at the 3.. Its when hes at the 2 chasing guards. I feel you though..

Trae / Cooper

Murray / Bogi 

Hunter / Huerter / AJ

JC / Johnson

Cap / OO

I’m actually feeling a little giddy lol

I hope we still make a run at Ayton. 
 

But I’m more than content running it back with our roster right now + some new depth.

Hard capped.

You cannot have Bogi and Cooper backing up Trae and Murray, you need to go bigger and stronger.

Why are we hard capped?  (Thought that was being discussed in other deals because they were SnT deals).

I would say delete this, but DeJounte is on my team now.

With this trade, we save 5 which means we are under the LT by two min. But we still gotta sign Griffin and 4 other players which will clearly put us back over the LT. Any Ayton deal is a BYC so we can forget about it.

Who's gonna be first to go down the 'now we can Traed Young' road?

We may trade Bogi or Collins for cap space and then make the Ayton trade right?

[ATLHawks3]

Do y'all think we still bring back Delon, or do we let DeJounte take over those non-Trae minutes?

[Wretch]

The only pick that really scares me is the 2027. 

The Charlotte pick is filler.  The talent we would use it on is readily available as is a replacement pick where it will ultimately land - best or worst case scenario.

DJM is worth that 2025 pick.  Even unprotected.  He's a two-way All-Star that compliments Trae's game in every way - with the difference being he's here NOW vs. 2 years from now...or however long that pick would take to develop into that player.

The pick swap in 2026 is a little questionable.  Worst case is we're somehow a lottery team with Trae in his prime and San Antonio has transformed itself into a great team.  In which case we're getting a mid to late 1st, and they're taking our lottery pick.  Highly unlikely.  The most likely scenario is that both of these picks are middling or San Antonio has a better pick and declines the swap option.

The unprotected 2027 is where the money is.  That's a LONG time from now.  DJM could bolt.  Trae could decline his player option.  A lot of things could happen between now and then. 

If 2 of 3 picks turn out to be lottery level, it's an even swap...because you still don't know what you're getting.  DJM is ready now and fits our timeline.  The real gamble is if we don't resign him or flip him into equivalent assets AND we accomplish nothing.  It's a gamble, but a smallish one IMO.

Oh man, the 25' and 27' picks are unprotected. That's a little scary.

Only scary if you're scary.
