Spurs Doing What Jazz Should be Doing

SO jealous

If only we had been a 35 win team for years with like 6 wings 23 or under, if only...

The Spurs were easily able to trade one player while getting back a dude they'll waive and be in the running for the #1 pick. We'd have to move off of like $70-80M in salary.

If we're going to honor to process, this would be the starting point methinks.

It's much easier to move off of Murray at $18M while taking back Gallo when they already have a ton of cap space then it is to move off of Rudy at $38M and Don at $30M...

If we're moving 70 to 80m in salary, we're moving Don and Rudy. That would be the point if we're firing up the Patton for a better pick. That's the only point I was making.

My point was that it's more difficult for us to do what the Spurs are currently doing because we have to move players with much bigger contracts while taking back guys that make us terrible.

There would be no shortage of ****ty contracts to eat that add up to the requisite amount while acquiring assets.

$68M is a lot of bad contracts to take back. The Spurs took on one guy they can waive and got 3 1sts and a pick swap.

If we're trading Don and Rudy for ****** contracts, we're getting all the picks and the armored truck.

But if you take on multiple, multi year ish contracts it limits roster flexibility for a while, lol.

If we're doing a Presti by trading Don and Rudy, we are consolidating picks into players. Roster's are as flexible as the number of other team's 1sts you are sending.

Would've probably made sense to start that before the draft if that was the plan.
