Being told San Antonio is a team to monitor in the developing three-team sign-and-trade talks that could bring Max Strus to Cleveland. The Cavaliers have been trying to find a trade for Cedi Osman this week, sources said.

This is where things are gonna get interesting with the Spurs this week and beyond. Cap space and maneuverability. They can still take on the salaries for future assets. https://t.co/BGGvbpNmKa

The Raptors got nothing for Kawhi Leonard, Marc Gasol, Serge Ibaka, Danny Green or Fred VanVleet.
— Sam Quinn (@SamQuinnCBS) July 1, 2023
They turned Kyle Lowry into Precious Achiuwa.
Some of those losses are more excusable than others, but man, the Raptors have gotta keep a more open mind at the deadline.
That's a shame . gif

Masai Ujiri has a reputation as a brilliant front office mind, but man that's brutal.

In reply to West Texan
He nailed a couple drafts. But lots of duds.
2016, he got Poeltl 9th and Siakam 27th. In 2017, he grabbed OG 23rd.
2021 Scottie Barnes obviously was great.
grabbed Norman Powell in the 2nd round
Got FVV as UDFA
Made Kawhi trade
BUT:
Traded 27yo healthy 20ppg Rudy Gay for Chuck Hayes and Patrick Patterson
1st rounder on Bruno Caboclo
1st rounder on Malakai Flynn
1st rounder on Delon Wright
Traded Norman Powell for Gary Trent
Traded CoJo for nothing
Traded Lowry for Precious
Traded a 1st round pick for a completely washed ThadYoung
Traded a 1st round pick and 2nd round pick (sidy cissoko) for Poeltl
Gave Chris Boucher a big, stupid contract
He's got some good and some bad. I don't think he is some super genius GM.

Also why they probably bring back DLo.

I know. Just wish if nothing else we made him more expensive for them.

Just 2 teams left who can offer a free agent more than the non tax MLE ($12.4 million):
— Paul Garcia (@PaulGarciaNBA) July 1, 2023
Spurs $30.8 million in space
Rockets $23.6 million in space
Charlotte and Orlando can get there, but it requires letting key free agents/players go

An amazingly bad deal for Memphis. Good to see some competition committing cap suicide early.

Yeah, kind of crazy. Max deals for non-super stars are killing teams and Memphis gives a 25yo with no All-Star, All-NBA, or All-Defense teams a max extension, when no other teams are competing with them on price.FTAG 2000 said:TexAg1822 said:Desmond Bane, Grizzlies agree to 5-year, $207M max extension https://t.co/rS9nU7Wk9i

Both players we are getting are on expirings. Essentially paying $8MM+ for a second rounder. Don't exactly get it unless we actually like Cedi.
