Huerter will be moved as well. So what does it matter which trade each is moved in?
Dont care about a 2032 pick swap.

It was 2031. Woj got some fat fingers.Wait…2032 is 8 seasons out. I thought picks past 7 years are off limits. That would make me think this trade is illegal or Woj is wrong (gasp).
Tagging @Capt. Factorial for help here
bum ass Huerter eh?

IDK he's young enough to bounce back.
Kings just got way better at putting pressure on the rim, creating shots in the clutch and finishing on the break. This isn’t a move that gives the Kings everything they need - but it’s a brave step forward that doesn’t mess with the core or the timeline. And now the Kings have way more swag.

haha. Good chance Spurs are a top team then so we may regret that swap later but glad to get DeMarr
34.7% FG and 20.5% from 3pt will turn fans against you. Not to mention he probably lost his starting job to an undrafted 2nd year player.

There’s a good chance their head coach won’t even be alive by then. There’s still 7 Years for it all to pay off

But they’ll have 25 year old prime Wemby. Lol

Wait, I thought Spurs only swap if it's to their advantage? So, they swap no matter what? What if we end up getting better spot? LOL...this is wild.

I said it was good. Still don’t love the pick swap when Wemby is at his peak. Very likely we pick early 30’s (assuming 34 teams) but it is what it is.
They have the choice to swap if they want
Spurs could very well be a Wemby dynasty at this time if he stays healthy.

Barnes is a good pickup for San Antonio. He's definitely a "spur"
Sure, but I just don't care about current 11 year old future NBA players. If it were an unprotected FRP? Ok sure, maybe. But there's no guarantee the Spurs are anything at that time or that we aren't damn good at that time too.

Clearly Monte was looking at those iso's, as he should have been. That's where the Kings needed help and they just got one of the better iso creators in the game. It kind of looks like Monte is pivoting back a little. I think he's kind of trying to build his own little version of the Celtics. 2 main iso threats, scoring, a skilled passing big, and legit guard defense with Carter and Keon like the C's have with Jrue and Derrick White.

The Bulls are the big losers here. The Spurs get a super useful player for free when they were below the salary floor (and would have been even if they kept Graham). They HAD to spend and they walk away with a pick swap. Crazy. Feel like Chicago would have been better off taking KVon and Duarte and say 5 seconds. Duarte would have come off the books at the end of next season and they could have rebuilt Kevin’s value.
If you set aside circumstance we traded HB, 2 seconds and a pick swap for a guy playing at an all star level. Thats incredible value.

Yeah, health permitting the Spurs should be unfair in 2032…or Wemby has signed elsewhere
But dont care because it’s 8 years away and I want to be good now. I could be done with the NBA in 8 years lol
I’m not crying about it just pointing out we’re likely going to be giving up the swap.

Makes more sense. Thanks!
I’m honestly not in love with the move…at least not yet. I’d like it more if we followed it up for a 3&D starting PF allowing DeRozan to come off the bench, but I thought I saw that there are incentives in DeRozan’s contract if he makes an all star team. That very likely means he’s not going to accept that type of role on our team and is going to expect/demand to start. It’s going to be really interesting to see how a Fox-DeRozan-Sabonis lineup works offensively. Two of those three “stars” aren’t good floor spacers and two of those three “stars” aren’t defenders.
The 2031 pick swap is not ideal but it is a “pick swap” and not a “pick” so there’s that. However, even with sending out this pick swap, McNair has set himself up to be in a position where he can trade 4 1sts next offseason (assuming our 2025 pick conveys to ATL).
We’ll have to see how it plays out on the court but the cost to take this swing is relatively low compared to trading for someone like Markkanen, Ingram, etc. so we’re not “stuck” or “all in.” If it doesn’t work out, we have options.

HELL yea!!! Soon as i saw Monte with no vest on earlier, i figured he meant serious business lol!
