They got it done, hell yeah

What are the Spurs doing here? They need youthful players and they traded away their only star.

They are tanking and Murray doesn't help them do that.

NBA Supes short take on the trade: https://voca.ro/12HGaSqYyCTx

[High5]

Excited to have a talented defender and playmaker next to Trae. Not thrilled will the 3 picks + swap for a guy that can't really shoot and will be due a big contract in a couple of years. I appreciate that Schlenk made a big move, though. Hope it works out and there's more to come.

LTES GO!!!! This is actually nice, I like the spacing of the picks and I like that we have some flexibility to make other moves now.

I understand that, but Murray is a stud and he’s 25. I know they are rebuilding, but he is the player you rebuild with.

I think Schlenk went into his old bag of tricks. Even the Sith Lord, R.C. Buford isn't immune...

Costly! I would have preferred a pick swap in 2024.

Nice pick up.

He's only got two years on his contract and then he becomes an unrestricted free agent. Players don't stick around in straight up tanking situations. They wanted to bottom out and this trade at least brings them future draft capital. Three picks is about as good as it can get.

LET’S GET IT!!!!
