Usually, I’d think this is smoke with no fire, and Spurs fans talking themselves into something that won’t happen. But if you’re Atlanta, and you’re going to rebuild, the most valuable possible draft picks would be your own, which the Spurs have some of.
I don’t think the odds are above 50%, but I definitely don’t think this one is crazy

I’m fine with patience, but a Trae Young or above caliber player who’s also *willing to come to San Antonio* (or so it’s been reported) seems like a no-brainer imo.

If we don’t give our 2025 first round pick (who can end up being Cooper Flagg or Ace Bailey) ok. Trae, Flagg and Wemby you end up being quickly a serious contender in the West

nah but really, we have a truly absurd amount of picks and tbh i doubt the hawks would tank hard if they do not own their picks so we would still get good picks but not the best or in general not picks that are likely to get us a better player than trae young. sooo, i’m down, get them all their picks back, the teo unprotected, the swap and the charlotte pick, then add the chicago pick, and see what’s missing. maybe get capela and give them collins and malaki ykyk.i would definitely not include any vassell and sochan, and tbh even our “second layer” of young guys like keldon, tre, blake.

Let’s take the framework of the Donovan Mitchell trade (Trae is worse). Lauri, Ochai, Collin sexton,3 firsts and 2 swaps. You have to remember at the time Lauri was a mid, take a flyer prospect. Spurs can trade ATL their picks back (2first 1swap). I think a Keldon, ,branham, ATL picks, maybe 1 or 2 of Chicago/toronto/charlotte picks might make sense. That’s maybe slightly worse in value, but Trae is also not as good. Is this too much for Trae? About right?

Ok so guys plz understand it will take 4 1sts minimum. BUT that means we basically turn all 3 ATL 1sts back to them and then give them maybe one spurs first (2027?) and or CHI 2025 (top 10 protected) plus someone like Keldon and filler. They may want vassell and Sochan and I would hesitant on them.
Basically take both picks this year to get wings/shooting/defense and trade for Trae.
