Don't Harp On The Fact That Chances of Getting 2 The Greek Are Slim - The Official 2025 San Antonio Spurs Offseason Thread

Absolutely not
I always hate this take because we're assuming the Spurs purposely took a lesser player with a tank in mind. Is that why they drafted Samanic? Is that why they reached for Primo? A multi year lackluster draft run to get Victor?
I know Bill ain’t actually some kinda insider, but…

The Takeover
I would hate to lose Sochan in a KD trade though.
If we can keep Jeremy and get KD that would be perfect cause Jeremy can then just defend, rebound, cut and catch lobs

Shyt’s been exhausting but…what would this even mean?
Sounds like bullshyt to get the puters puting

The Takeover
If you want to speculate, you have to read that text and wonder: what does it mean to pursue a player that fits their timeline?
What IS their timeline?
Kevin Durant is 38 years old. Hard to think his timeline fits with the Spurs young core.
I do think the Spurs intend to be a playoff team this coming season. Durant would help them get there. Beyond that, I’m not sure he’s part of the plan 2 years from now.
Maybe they actually DO make the trade for Giannis. And instead of finding a floor spacer big next to Wemby…Wemby himself is the floor spacer for Giannis. Kind of how Brook Lopez did for Giannis in Milwaukee. I’m just getting all the dumb theories out now.
But for real, it would have to be a player that’s a big upgrade over Harrison Barnes. Because PF is the biggest hole in the starting rotation outside of the PG development.

The Takeover
So, it’s draft week. Any fukkin chance in hell we package #14 with players/future assets to grab a quality backup big by Wed night?

I don’t know. The rumor was that Durant isn’t on the Spurs because Sochan was off the table. That means either the Spurs are intent on keeping Sochan for the long term, or they will only give him up for a considerably better player than 37 year old Durant.
So if Sochan stays and Dylan Harper is the pick at #2, you gotta figure Vassell or Keldon’s days are numbered.
The thing is though, do you really trade Keldon or Vassell for a backup big? I think they ought to be able to get more than that.
