Spurs need to quit the bullshyt and make the KD trade already

[Remote]

The idea that Giannis would sign an extension with the Spurs is preposterous. Every indication from every reasonable source in basketball journalism has linked Giannis to a large market like New York or Los Angeles.

If you’re Brian Wright you don’t make that trade unless you’re absolutely convinced it makes you a contender immediately. And there’s nothing in Wright’s history (or the Spurs) that suggests taking such a big risk.

That’s not to say that a trade for Giannis or Durant won’t happen. But it would signal a “chips all in” gamble in San Antonio. I struggle to see the wisdom in such a move for a 34-win team with an untested and largely unproven backcourt.

I'm going to play devils advocate here. Why should the Spurs trade for KD when they can just add a few choice pieces + youth and develop the core they have? Especially if it means to the same net result without the drama that a Kevin Durant would bring (through no fault of his own).

the Fox trade was an indicator that they'd like to speed up this process a little bit.

KD still can put up 25 ppg easily his next couple years and I legit think Victor game would grow even more learning and playing with KD

Milwaukee gonna want Castle and probably the #2 pick and I'm like fukk that

I feel you have to say the name of who that #2 pick will be so we can laugh harder. Who would possibly be worth passing on Giannis

I think Giannis makes more sense of you're going to 'sell the farm'

no question. I wouldn't advocate KD for them.

I like KD, but you'd think after 6 years people would realize you cant just plug him on your team and expect your fortune to change over night. Evidently, yall really enjoy rewatching mediocre films that you've already seen.

Giannis would cost too much and there's no guarantee he would sign an extension in SA

I think he wants a bigger market

Spurs have enough where the cost is worth it and you will still be good, crying over #2 pick and Castle is stupid. Giannis, Wemby and Fox get you in contention right away.

Spurs thumbing their nose at KD as they play Keldon Johnson, Vassell, Sochan, Malaki Branham, Blake Wesley, Sandro mamukelashvili, old ass Chris Paul, etc

KD still a top scorer in the league on excellent efficiency. Just trade for him.
