Whats it gonna cost though? Sign and trade with Ayton and how much more. I think he ends up in philly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think he ends up in philly I just heard the Nets don't want Ayton, not sure if it is true. I wouldn't give up Booker so it would need to be something like Ayton and (Bridges or Cam Johnson or both). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vikings4ever 496 Posted June 30, 2022 It's been years since I've watched an NBA game. At this point, I understand rooting for your team, but I have no idea how anyone can root for these players that engineer their way to teams, sign big contracts, then in 2 or 3 years cry that they don't want to play for that team anymore and force their way out.

I think of Klay as a nice complement to "the man," a guy like Steph who is the alpha on the team. Booker is an alpha, he has the constitution and game to be "the man", and continues to get better. Also I appreciate that Booker stuck with us through some, let's face it, disgusting years of... I hesitate to call it basketball. I like to watch players grow and blossom.

Klay in his prime was a much better player IMO (Although not an alpha). Booker is a wanna be alpha. I'd love to have Beal here instead.

I'd like you to be right about booker. Just like Ayton. I'll settle for KD, Booker and Paul for a couple titles too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kopy 489 Posted July 1, 2022 I saw the spurs made a trade the other day. I haven't followed them, or basketball for that matter since David Robinson retired. Was it a good deal for them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably still just a habit more than anything else. I couldn't even tell you who they have on there team. I just heard it was a big trade so curious if it was good for them or not. Their best player, all-star point guard Dejounte Murray told them he would not resign with the Spurs now or in the future. They traded him away to the Atlanta Hawks for 3 first round draft picks and Danilo Gallinari. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/34169244/sources-atlanta-hawks-acquire-guard-dejounte-murray-san-antonio-spurs-three-1st-round-picks-danilo-gallinari Murray, age 25, averaged a career-best 21.1 points, 9.2 assists, 8.3 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 68 games last season, earning All-Star honors for the first time in his career. He had 13 triple-doubles, setting the single-season franchise record for the Spurs, according to ESPN Stats & Information research. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerryskids 5,188 Posted July 2, 2022 Leading rumor now is a 3 team deal that sends KD to Phoenix, Ayton to Utah, and Mitchell to NJ. NJ wants a lot of picks so I'm sure those are part of the deal, plus maybe some other players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
