#43... Safe pick: Trayce Jackson-Davis Upside picks: Leonard Miller, James Nnaji Edit: whelp. No Miller.
I don't believe we're going into next season with 3 rookies. Like....I just can't. Even if we trade Dame it's still a tough proposition.
maybe, why not? Think Ant + Murray for OG is pretty fair considering OG's FA next year. Nurk + Nas for Ayton cuts a ton of salary for Phoenix. but Cronin appears to be asleep at the wheel and unable to make any moves so who knows.
If we keep Dame, Scoot and Shaedon then we'll be wasting at least some of the best value on our roster.
I think lots of team can beat our offer for OG, not even considering Masai's inflated view of OG's value. I don't think this franchise has an appetite to pay Ayton 32M+ per year. Plus I think paying 100+M for Dame/Jerami/Ayton long term is probably not a smart decision. And when you consider some of the players they kicked around and ultimately decided against, I think that's what they would think as well. Also for PHX, if all I could get back is Nurk and Nas, I probably just keep Ayton.
This team is very relevant and a box office draw with Scoot and Sharpe. Mortgaging the future to build around a 33 year old would have been malpractice.
Trade Shaedon then? I understand why we didn't make a big move, but we're barreling head first into the scenario where we never took a single risk with Dame. Or just trade Dame already. Pick a side.
If we keep Dame, Scoot and Shaedon then trade Ant, we'll be keeping some of the best value on our roster.
Oh man, Spurs are going to win championships with Wemby sooner than we all think. On top of being lengthy himself (meaning he'll be difficult to contain), Miller compliments Wemby tremendously with defense, shot creation, and a developing three ball. That you have Sochan potentially at the 3 and Vassell at the 2....they just have to find a Maxey or Simons or Brunson caliber point guard. Develop a bench. Then, the league is toast once these players develop their skills. A five year window just like with the Warriors after they drafted Klay and Curry and you'll see the Spurs do what the Warriors did these past 8+ years.
