Accept. Never thought this day would come to be honest, Vassellini is a stud and is going to ascend to an even better level in the future. But have to give Bron a chance and I think this package gives me some depth, roster flexibility and options for the future as well as resolves my Devin/Bron resign issue next season. OG is only 25 and I think he can be a solid anchor for the team going forward. I'm glad Spurs is getting my guy because I know he knows how good this guy is. Honestly, shame on the rebuilders in this league for not pursuing this absolute stud on a rookie deal harder. Some of y'all are tripping and are gonna see the error in your methodology soon enough when Vassell absolutely explodes next season. Thanks for the easy talks Chris, can't wait to see what DevDev smooth ends up becoming for you.

Dean Wade and Javonte Green to IR.

[San Antonio Spurs (Chris)]

Spurs accept.

This is a bit of an overpay, OG is just as good as vassell, a bit better currently, but I do think vassell has the better upside and could take his game to another level, has improved more quickly than OG did which is a good sign, and his role/opportunity couldn't be more secure. Plus he fits my timeline better, and he's a spur, and I'm a bit of a fan boy about him. Bummed about including DSJ, he's on that sweet min/max contract and still has upside too, but not having to give any first rounders made this an easy deal for me to accept. Stoked to have him and Sochan for the future, slap that vassellini all over my weenie!

Thanks Knicks, easy talks as always, even if I did get a bit easily butt hurt about that one counter... Good luck with OG, he's a stud too

[Blazers GM (Tyler)]

Approve.

This is a ton of value to get back for Vassell and gets the Knicks right back into the thick of the title chase. That 2nd will be pretty decent and don’t think it was necessary for that to be in the deal.

Spurs building something nice with Devin, Kuminga, Sochan, and Deni

[Heat GM (Bryan)]

Approve. Value is great here for Devin. He’s shown strides but I’m still not sure where his ceiling is at in terms of fantasy. Spurs gets a guy to build around with a better timeline than OG.

[Toronto Raptors (Perk)]

Approve, nice to get a full 12.5 million paid too on OG this year!

[New York Knicks (jsood)]

Spurs pay 12.3m on OG this year. The Seabron bid out is invalid.
