The NBA Trade Deadline is just days away. The week leading up to the deadline is usually busy busy busy with a lot of noise and little else. It seems a certainty that trades will happen this year, and probably big ones at that. But I hate the lead-up. Let’s talk when the chaos is over and the dust has settled, and we can accurately assess what has happened.
What is interesting with the Mason, Jr. talks is that it seems highly likely the Spurs will make a move. The players most mentioned in trade discussions are our expiring contracts, which are Mason, Jr., Bonner, Finley, and Ginobili. Look at that list and what do you notice? Those are four of our five best 3-pt shooters. In an offense that places a premium on the 3-pt shot, it would be risky to get rid of your ability to consistently hit that shot.
It will be very interesting to see what this roster looks like come Friday morning.
