Another trade in the NBA, yes, just before the season resumes. It’s not the most interesting thing in the world, but Spurs are involved, who also made another decision at the same time. The move caused a lot of reaction.
While the resumption of the season takes place in approximately 10 days for the franchises NBAwe have just witnessed a new trade on the market. It involves the Spurs and the Kings, even if this trade is relatively simple to understand in the end. Sacramento gets rid of a player, as does San Antonio in the process.
According to information from new ESPN insider Shams Charania, the Kings have decided to send Jalen McDaniels and a second round of draft to Texas. The goal of the maneuver is simple for them: to make room in the roster in order to create flexibility. The franchise wants to play for the title in the West, so it is careful about the slightest signing.
The Spurs decide after their trade
For their part, the Texans are rather calm in terms of roster with good finances and therefore the possibility of absorbing McDaniels’ contract. Except that rather than keeping the player and banking on him during this campaign, the managers decided to cut him immediately. He will therefore not have the slightest chance of evolving under the orders of Gregg Popovich.
THE Spurs are therefore taking advantage of this operation to recover a second round for free, the franchise not sending anything in return if we rely on the latest information shared by Charania. The organization is not going to complain about it, which did not want to rely on McDaniels’ average of 6.9 points and 3.3 rebounds.
The player therefore arrives on the market and hopes to find happiness in the NBA in the weeks to come, if a franchise wants him. On the X network, as usual, the trade caused a lot of talk.
@SixthManJake : “I feel bad for the player”
@30problemz : “He will sign with the Warriors”
@BEC_Betting : “It could have been an interesting piece for the Spurs. San Antonio needs bigger wings on the team rather than 3/4 shooters. »
@draftguru2024 : “Spurs couldn’t just wait? »
@misfit_cowboy : “It will be a good reinforcement for any team. »
Despite a trade recovering a player, the Spurs did not decide to keep him. An almost surprising decision, but the Texas franchise was only interested in the draft choice. The NBA business is ruthless.
