After all the talk that the San Antonio Spurs never make any in-season trades, they finally made one on Thursday — sort of. Although it didn’t involve anyone currently on the roster, San Antonio dealt their rights to Cady Lalanne to the Golden State Warriors for 6-9 power forward Marquese Chriss.
The trade was certainly underwhelming when you consider that the Spurs had several players on the market and other teams made numerous moves. I can understand the frustrated fans that wanted to see action for the sake of seeing action, but the bottom line is San Antonio’s contracts were difficult to negotiate.
