I'm confident Brad will use every tool he has to build our bench, meaning the mid-level, the vet minimum and the various trade exceptions we have. When you're this close, that's the time to go all in.

That tells me Brad has bigger fish he's after.

And that he's not desperate to take the first thing that is available.

yeah def dont waste the TPE on burks. id only go after him if DET releases him. As long as Murray is out there I'd save that TPE.

I don't think we can use the TPE to get Murray, if that's what you mean. As I understand it, you can't combine it with other assets in a trade for a player, and the Spurs aren't looking to just shed salary with him.

Then the question is do the C's want that?

Then the question is do the C's want that? Something to ponder. Dejounte Murray is young and has started to come into his own. If he continues his ascent, he's knocking on the All-Star conversation. His shooting isn't pure, but he's talented in many areas. Is he worth trading a boatload of picks for? Danny would hang up the phone, but I think Brad would see if there's a middle ground. If we are contenders for the next 5 years, we're looking at picking very late in the 1st and second rounds -- we're not talking about lottery picks. Can he and Smart manage the backcourt? I think they'll be fantastic -- if they can knock down shots in tight games. And that's where I pause with Murray.

Doesn't seem smart to me. Obviously to make room for Romeo Langford to become the #1 option I presume they're going all in on getting that franchise player in the draft? Wembanyama? It's not as if SAS is much of a free-agent destination or a place a star forces a trade to otherwise.

I'm not sure if we made an offer for Dejounte, but if we did, ATL's draft picks will be more valuable than ours.

Along with Galinari, I saw a tweet that we also are interested in Donte Divencenzo.
The target appears to be shooters.
