It's pretty mediocre value.

I think if it’s just based on Schroeder s current play it’s a good value for GS. He’s playing really well. He likely does not continue to shoot this well tho so his career (and the good and bad of his personality) all factor in. Netting two seconds is basically what I would have guessed. No idea of the quality of the seconds but it’s fair.
oh it's great value for GSW. It's mediocre for Brooklyn. They just wanted to get off him so they can lose games. They could have finessed for more if they held out, but they made the right move IMO. It wouldnt have been much better and ensuring more losses is the right move.
I had ORL as a Sexton destination, but ORL is a team that I think made a lot more sense for them to go after Shroeder. Not only does he have the German connection, but he is expiring. ORL has salary issues next summer, getting off of Anthony and bringing in Shroeder would have been huge for them. For some teams Sexton's deal may be the more favorable structure, ORL is not one of them. If they weren't willing to go 3 seconds for Shroeder I don't think they will go beyond that for Sexton.
We dont know if they werent willing. Maybe Brooklyn didnt want Cole Anthony's contract.
Also, the Spurs still exist and have a ton of assets. John Collins could be a dream target with the way he is playing. Barnes + Collins works. Both are bad contracts. Jazz could ask for a lot back if the Spurs want to upgrade with a young talent who is still growing like Collins.
We also have to remember the reason Collins had no value when the Jazz got him is becasue every single year he was regressing. This is the first year where he has shown upward momentum in his skillset. Teams who liked him before his gradual fall off might be totally back in on him.
Collins + Wemby would be filthy imo.
Collins + Wemby would be filthy imo.
The Spurs should want Collins more than most and they have more assets than anyone that would be competing, also. Sexton and Collins are actually exactly the types of players they should be targeting (a ballhandler that can turn the corner/break the paint and a PnR big that can get on the rim with aplomb, switch between 4 and 5, and also space the floor).
Castle’s size and desire to be a PG pairs well with Sexton’s holes, Wemby covers maybe more defensive issues than anyone ever. The amount of chaos that a Wemby ball-screen can unleash isn’t realized until they have a ballhandler that can blow by a sagging big but also has the nominal shooting efficiency to demand being guarded on the perimeter.
Totally reasonable to ask for two quality 1sts to give the Spurs near-perfect fit pieces in exchange for basically dead weight salary (Barnes, Z. Collins, picks for Sexton, J. Collins).

Agreed. The reporting from reliable sources earlier in the week was Brooklyn only interested in taking back expirings. They apparently have their eyes on a '25 free agent (Kuminga?)..
The Spurs want another star and they are too good to get through draft. The only way for San Antonio to get that another star is to use their picks in a trade instead of throwing them away for a role player during the 0.500 season.
