2024年4月12日,圣安东尼奥马刺队后卫特雷·琼斯(Tre Jones)(右)在格雷厄姆(Devonte’ Graham)的进球后与其庆祝。格雷厄姆在比赛还剩0.9秒时投篮命中,帮助马刺队在弗罗斯特银行中心举行的NBA比赛中领先丹佛掘金队。圣安东尼奥以121-120战胜了丹佛。
联盟消息人士周六证实,马刺队将交易德文特·格雷厄姆(Devonte’ Graham)和一个二轮选秀权至夏洛特黄蜂队,此举将增加他们在今年夏天可能进行的进一步操作的薪资空间。
该联盟消息人士称,在交易完成后,黄蜂队计划裁掉这位经验丰富的后卫,让他成为自由球员。
格雷厄姆上赛季为马刺队场均贡献5.0分和2.1次助攻。马刺队在2023年的交易截止日期前从新奥尔良鹈鹕队交易得到他,同时还获得了四个二轮选秀权,作为交换,他们送出了后卫约什·理查德森(Josh Richardson)。
通过送走格雷厄姆,马刺队的薪资空间将增加到近2600万美元。
黄蜂队将在裁掉格雷厄姆之前支付他合同最后一年的285万美元保障金。马刺队面临着7月8日对他合同的保障日期。
格雷厄姆在马刺队最精彩的时刻可能出现在4月份,当时他在比赛还剩0.9秒时在罚球线上投进一记抛投,帮助马刺队以121-120击败了卫冕冠军丹佛掘金队。

Spurs trading Graham
San Antonio Spurs guard Tre Jones, right, celebrates with guard Devonte’ Graham after Graham’s basket with 0.9 seconds remaining to give the Spurs the lead in their NBA game with the Denver Nuggets at the Frost Bank Center on Friday, April 12, 2024. San Antonio beat Denver 121-120
In a move that increases their salary cap space for possible further moves this summer, the Spurs are trading Devonte’ Graham and a second-round pick to Charlotte, a league source confirmed Saturday.
After the deal is completed, the Hornets plan to waive the veteran guard to allow him to become a free agent, the league source said.
Graham averaged 5.0 points and 2.1 assists for the Spurs last season. The Spurs acquired him in a trade deadline deal in 2023 with New Orleans that also netted them four second-round picks in exchange for guard Josh Richardson.
The Spurs will increase their cap space to nearly $26 million by shedding Graham.
The Hornets will pay the $2.85 million guaranteed on the last year of Graham’s contract before waiving him. The Spurs faced a July 8 guarantee date on his contract.
Graham enjoyed perhaps his finest moment as a Spurs in April when he converted a floater in the lane with 0.9 seconds remaining to help the Spurs down the defending NBA champion Denver Nuggets 121-120.
