Heading into the trade deadline, it seemed like the Spurs, which had already made two deals before, were going to be relatively quiet. There weren’t a lot of big rumors about them and there seemingly was no rush for them to make big moves.
When the dust had settled, Derrick White, Thaddeus Young and Drew Eubanks were gone, and if the reports are correct, Jakob Poeltl came close to joining them. In return, the Spurs got Josh Richardson, Romeo Langford and Goran Dragic, but more importantly, two first round picks.
We’ll know soon enough how the moves affect the team this season, but the most interesting aspect of the transactions is that they signal that the Spurs have finally picked a path.
