Or they could have 4, 8 and a better free agent, which is even better. You don't have to sell me on the Young trade being a bad idea -- it's a bad idea. But there are many superior ideas to that which are still not good deals for the Spurs. This is one of them.
Which attainable free agent is better than Coby White? It also seems like you have a lot more confidence in this draft class than most. And again, if the Spurs send out Graham and #8 for Coby they are creating more room to go get that free agent. It’s not a bad idea. Might not end up being their best option but it’s FAR from a bad idea. Not every proposal on this board has to be perfect or terrible.
So they aren't saving money by trading Graham and 8 for White, because Graham's deal is mostly non-guaranteed. They also don't need to get a better PG than White, because they are a rebuilding team. They just need to make their picks and let them grow.
Fair. Didn’t realize Graham only had $3M guaranteed. Still, like the deal. Think you’re discounting Coby. He would be an excellent fit with that spurs team.
