I get it. The Spurs aren't perfect, and there are enticing players out there who can make this team better. But we need to be reasonable with these proposals. Sending away three players and four draft picks—two firsts and two seconds—is overkill for Trey Murphy III, and I like his game, too. San Antonio isn't in a disadvantageous position, though. They don't have to overpay for role players, and they shouldn't.
Spurs receive: Trey Murphy III and Saddiq Bey
Pelicans receive: Keldon Johnson, Jeremy Sochan, Carter Bryant, 2026 second-round pick (NOP or POR), 2027 first-round pick (ATL), 2028 second-round pick (NOP), 2031 first-round pick (SAS or SAC)
We have to be honest in our assessment of these players and what they'd be asked to do on their destination team.
