Would you give up 2 1st’s for Keldon Johnson? I feel like the Spurs wouldn’t be that enticed to trade him for 1 1st and we don’t have all that much else to offer in terms of real value. I don’t see Springer exciting anyone enough to add significant value in a trade at this point, and the Spurs already have more 2nd’s than they’ll ever know what to do with.
Complete side note- if I were Morey I would also attempt to get Sandro Mamukelashvili in a Spurs trade. Dude is super talented and has a unique skill set for his size. Pretty shocking to me the Spurs aren’t able to get him any mins with the state of their season and team
I don’t know if you can do more than a first since that would suggest he’s guaranteed starter value. Ideally he’s a starter that fits with Maxey, but he might just be an excellent second unit on-ball creator.
One of his underrated attributes is his effort on crashing the boards. I think Springer is the only one who works that hard at it, which is unfortunately a reason we dropp a few games every year.
I don’t think he’s a cure all move, but someone who is a low risk, high reward young Popovich player. Also took the reins in that system and became the alpha scorer despite being meh as a prospect.
I’d be more interested in this + other moves than dumping all our assets into someone like Siakam.
