马刺在截止日毫无动作。这是正确的选择吗？
玛丽琳·杜宾斯基 (Marilyn Dubinski)： 我认为是正确的，尤其是在没有好的报价出现的情况下。从个人角度来看，我喜欢这套阵容中的每一个人，并不急于看到任何人被送走。如果说有什么遗憾的话，那就是我对杰里米·索汉 (Jeremy Sochan) 的团队请求获准探索市场感到难过，但我能理解。最终，听起来其他球队想要的筹码超出了马刺愿意给出或承担的范围（要么是一个首轮签，要么像盖尔雄·亚布塞莱 (Guerschon Yabusele) 的情况那样，是额外一年的合同），所以马刺明智地选择了等待。我把这个赛季看作是一个“在做出大动作之前先了解现有资产”的赛季，而这正是他们正在做的。
马克·巴灵顿 (Mark Barrington)： 显然，我无法像马刺管理层那样获取核心信息，但从我的视角来看，他们可能采取了最稳妥的路线，也可能是正确的路线。球队确实需要一名既能在禁区肉搏，又能提供外线投篮威胁的大前锋，从而为马刺的一众后卫和侧翼拉开空间。但符合这种模板的球员既不容易得到，也不便宜。我曾希望能达成关于约翰·科林斯 (John Collins) 的交易，但显然快船队被内部闹剧分散了注意力，无法成事，或者说挖走他的代价超出了马刺的承受范围。我仍然认为马刺距离成为真正的竞争者还有一两年的时间，所以现在就为了赢在当下而做出大动作未必明智。如果他们能在选秀或休赛期斩获那样的球员，那么现在的耐心就会得到回报。虽然我想马上看到补强，但我认为布莱恩·莱特 (Brian Wright) 确实可以负担得起更多的耐心。
杰杰·戈麦斯 (Jeje Gomez)： 既然我们现在已经了解了市场行情，看来这是正确的决定。感觉他们并没有错过那种既能让他们变强又不需要付出太大代价的交易。最接近的一笔可能是送出一些现金换回乔克·兰代尔 (Jock Landale) 来增强中锋深度，但到了那个地步，我们讨论的只是阵容边缘的变动。在索汉被传出可以交易的消息后却没有将他送走，这多少有些令人惊讶，但感兴趣的球队可能更愿意等到夏天而不是现在送出资产；而且在没有薪金空间压力的情况下，搭上选秀权去送走某人是毫无意义的。如果能升级阵容当然很好，但这只能等到休赛期了。
J.R. 威尔科 (J.R. Wilco)： 首先，我对“正确的选择”这种措辞有异议，这预设了马刺管理层 (PATFO)决定不做动作，但事实是否如此并不明确。坊间传闻不断，而且马刺在处理表达过离队意愿的球员方面有悠久的历史——我指的可不仅仅是“那个外甥 (The Nephew)”。所以既然索汉表达了希望换个环境的想法，我推测球队尝试过交易他。如果他们找不到接手的人，或者对方提供的报价不符合他们认为的杰里米的市场价值，我不认为他们会为了成全他而卑躬屈膝。其次，我想说，球迷们在期待什么？球队资产丰富，但他们并不会挥霍。他们确实需要一名有身高和投射能力的先发大前锋，也需要一些中锋深度。除此之外，阵容其实已经相当固定了。这支球队曾无视所有关于交易特雷·杨 (Trae Young) 以及联盟专家们在确定维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 确有真才实学后，试图强塞给他们的每一位球星。我发现很难做到既为球队避免冲动交易、坚持走自己的路以拿下卡斯尔、哈珀和布莱恩特而叫好，又因为他们没有在交易截止日达成一笔我甚至都不知道是否存在于谈判桌上的交易而批评他们。我想说的是，按兵不动是正确的举动。
马刺阵容已满，但可以轻松腾出一个位置。买断市场或即将被裁的球员中，有谁能让他们变得更好吗？
杜宾斯基： 如果他们真的觉得需要增加深度，那也是在前锋或中锋位置。他们可以与凯尔·安德森 (Kyle Anderson) 重聚，他比索汉是更可靠的射手，但既然索汉还在，我会让他上场而不是“大锤”，所以除了成就一段佳话外，真的没必要。在中锋位置上，能比凯利·奥利尼克 (Kelly Olynyk) 更好的选择并不多，梅森·普拉姆利 (Mason Plumlee) 或许是一个，或者是达里奥·萨里奇 (Dario Saric)——他还没被裁，但预计会被裁。即便如此，也没有哪个球员能让马刺觉得非签不可。
巴灵顿： 2012年3月，鲍里斯·迪奥 (Boris Diaw) 在被山猫队买断并裁掉两天后加盟了马刺，并成为了2013年和2014年争冠征程中的关键角色球员。市场上确实存在能产生影响的球员，但我没在今年的这批球员中看到“迪奥”。大多是些与马刺时间线不符的老将。我也许会考虑在克里斯·布歇 (Chris Boucher) 身上试试运气，他有身高和运动能力，但得分能力一般，也许他比俾斯麦……好吧，我快把自己说服放弃这个想法了。我期待看到莱特会怎么做。
戈麦斯： 马刺在买断市场上的问题在于他们无法提供出场时间。用普拉姆利替换俾斯麦·比永博 (Bismack Biyombo) 作为第四甚至第三内线确实是升级，但这对普拉姆利来说可能没什么吸引力，对于圣安东尼奥来说可能也不值得折腾，因为比永博在更衣室似乎很受尊重。唯一合理的举动是带回一名管理层认为能在本赛季之后继续贡献力量的球员。我一直很喜欢海伍德·海史密斯 (Haywood Highsmith)，但他因伤缺席了整个赛季。与马拉基·布兰纳姆 (Malaki Branham) 的重聚可能会处理得很尴尬。目前并没有太多值得可能破坏更衣室化学反应的理想人选。
威尔科： 如果奥利尼克在圣安东尼奥都拿不到出场时间（别忘了他在赛季初期为球队贡献了不错的表现），那么买断市场上的任何人又怎么可能拿到？这就是现在这支球队的实力，某种程度上让我们回到了“选秀后留洋”的年代，那时候多名选秀权留在欧洲提升实力并不奇怪，因为球队没有出场时间给他们。推论：想想迪伦和卡特在菜鸟赛季的发展速度，意识到球队已经认为他们是比杰里米和凯利更好的选择。
尽管获准寻找下家，但杰里米·索汉仍然留在队中。马刺该拿他怎么办？
杜宾斯基： 我在重复自己，但我理想的世界是马刺能和他解决问题，让他重新成为轮换球员，以廉价合同续约，皆大欢喜。哎，这可能不会发生，尤其是随着卡特·布莱恩特 (Carter Bryant) 开始展现出实力。所以这就归结为他们是否认为能在今年夏天为索汉达成一笔先签后换的交易。如果是这样，他们可能需要再次给他展示的机会（在健康允许的情况下）以提升他的价值，或者如果目标是给他资质报价让市场决定其价值，那就保持低调。或者他们也可以在今年夏天让他直接走人。我不知道，我只知道这一切让我很难过。
巴灵顿： 在一个完美的世界里，索汉会找到他的进攻和投篮手感，并成为马刺的轮换球员。但他本赛季到目前为止在有限的出场时间里看起来并不尽如人意，也许是时候换个环境来重振职业生涯了。我只想看到这家伙成功，如果是在圣安东尼奥以外的地方，我也能接受，除非是在对阵马刺的比赛中。
但就本赛季而言，我预计他会留在队中担任伤病保险并提供深度。他不太适合目前的阵容，但我支持教练组尝试将他放在能够发挥作用的位置上。最好的情况是他会迎来篮球生涯的复兴，对他和波兰来说都是春天的到来，实现共赢。
戈麦斯： 答案可能是“什么也不做”，这有点令人难过。我不认为索汉有办法回到轮换阵容中，除非发生重大伤病迫使米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 做出选择。裁掉他可能对索汉最有利，因为这样他就能去别处寻找机会，但没人能责怪马刺想把他留在身边以防伤病发生。他可能只能待到夏天，届时他很可能会在自由市场上悄无声息地离开。
威尔科： 啊，杰里米。不到三年前，当马刺用状元签选中维克托时，他还在纽约的选秀大会上接受采访。那时候有那么多值得期待的事情，但投篮一直没练出来，而联盟已经发展到了这种地步：不能防守的控卫和不能投篮的大前锋都变成了恐龙，因为他们根本无法上场。我希望10号有一天能找到准星，而且要快，但在此之前，马刺真的没有太多的位置留给他，他们要么裁掉他，要么在合同到期后放他走。

A final look at the Spurs’ uneventful trade deadline
The Spurs didn’t do anything at the deadline. Was that the right choice?
Marilyn Dubinski: I think so, especially if there wasn’t a good offer to be had. From a personal standpoint, I love everyone on this roster and wasn’t anxious for anyone to be moved. If anything, I was sad but understood why Jeremy Sochan’s group asked for permission to explore the market. Ultimately, it sounds like teams wanted more for him than the Spurs were willing to give or take on (either a first round pick, or, in Guerschon Yabusele’s case, an extra year), so they were smart to wait. I see this as a “learn what they have before making a big move” season, and that’s exactly what they’re doing.
Mark Barrington: Obviously, I don’t have access to the same information as the Spurs front office, but from my viewpoint, it seems like they probably took the safest route, and probably the right one. The team definitely needs a power forward who can bang in the paint and who can also provide a perimeter scoring threat to unclog the paint for the Spurs’ collection of guards and small wings. But guys who match that template aren’t easy or cheap to get. I was hoping for a John Collins deal, but apparently the Clippers were too distracted by internal drama to make that happen, or the cost to pry him loose would have been too much for the Spurs to pay. I still think the Spurs are a year or two away from being true contenders, so making a big win-now move is not necessarily the smart thing to do. If they can pick up that player in the draft or in the offseason, then the patience will pay off. I want it now, but I think Brian Wright can afford to be a bit more patient.
Jeje Gomez: Now that we’ve had time to see what was out there, it seems it was the right call. It doesn’t feel like they missed out on a deal that would have made them better without costing them too much. The closest to it might be sending out some cash for Jock Landale to bolster the center depth, but at that point, we are just talking about the fringes of the roster. Not moving Sochan after the reports of his availability were made public was a little surprising, but interested teams were probably fine just waiting until the summer instead of giving up assets, and attaching a pick to move someone when there’s no need, cap-wise, wouldn’t have made sense. It would have been nice to upgrade, but it will have to wait until the offseason.
J.R. Wilco: First, I’m going to take issue with the “right choice” wording, which assumes that PATFO decided not to make a move when it is not at all clear that was the case. There were some rumors, and there’s also a strong history of dealing guys who’ve made it known they’d like to be elsewhere — and I’m not merely talking about The Nephew. So since Sochan made it known that he’d prefer a change of scenery, I assume the team tried to deal him. If they couldn’t find any takers, or a taker who’d offer what they think Jeremy’s market value was, then I don’t expect them to bend over backwards to make it happen for him. Second, I mean, what did the fanbase expect? The team is asset rich, but they’re not getting spendthrifty with it. They could use a starting power forward with size and shooting ability and they could use some depth at center. Outside of that, the roster is pretty well set. This is the same team that ignored all of the talk about dealing for Trae Young and every other star that the league’s cognoscenti tried to push down their throats as soon as it was obvious that Wemby had the goods. I find it difficult to a) laud the team for avoiding a rash move while staying the course to grab Castle, Harper and Bryant, and then b) dump on them because they didn’t make a deal at the trade deadline that I don’t even know was on the table. What I’m saying is that standing pat was the right move.
The Spurs have a full roster, but could create a spot easily. Is there anyone in the buyout market or who could be waived soon that would make them better?
Dubinski: If they truly feel they need to add depth pieces, it would be at the forward or center spots. They could have a reunion with Kyle Anderson, who is a bit more of a reliable shooter than Sochan, but with Sochan still here, I’d play him over Slo Mo, so there’s really no need beyond a good story. At center, there aren’t too many options out there who would be an upgrade over Kelly Olynyk, but a couple would be Mason Plumlee or potentially Dario Saric, who is not waived yet but expected to be. Still, no one that screams the Spurs need to make a move for them.
Barrington: Boris Diaw joined the Spurs two days after he was bought out of his contract and waived by the Bobcats in March 2012, and became a key role player in the 2013 and 2014 title runs. There are players out there that can make a difference, but I don’t see a Boris in this year’s crop. There are mostly older players who don’t fit the Spurs timeline. I maybe would think about taking a flyer on Chris Boucher, who has length and athleticism but isn’t much of a scorer, and maybe he’s an upgrade over Bismack … well, I’m talking myself out of it. I look forward to seeing what Brian Wright is going to do.
Gomez: The problem with the buyout market for the Spurs is that they don’t have minutes to offer. Replacing Biyombo with, say, Plumlee as the fourth or at best third big man spot would be an upgrade, but it is probably not intriguing for Plumlee, and it might not be worth the trouble for San Antonio, since Biyombo seems to be respected in the locker room. The only type of move that would make sense would be one that brings in someone the front office thinks could contribute beyond this season. I’ve always liked Haywood Highsmith, but he has missed the entire year with injury. A Malaki Branham reunion would probably be too messy. There just aren’t a lot of intriguing candidates worth potentially disrupting the locker room chemistry.
Wilco: If Olynyk can’t get playing time in San Antonio (and remember how he was contributing good minutes to the team during the early season), then how can anyone on the buyout market? This is how good the team is now, which kind of puts us back to the Draft and Stash days, when it wasn’t odd for multiple years’ worth of picks to be in Europe to improve because the team didn’t have the minutes for them. Corollary: think about how quickly Dylan and Carter have developed in their rookie years, and realize that the team already sees them as better options than Jeremy and Kelly.
Jeremy Sochan is still around despite having been given permission to seek a new home. What should the Spurs do with him?
Dubinski: I’m repeating myself, but my ideal world would be the Spurs figure things out with him, he’s a rotational player again, re-signs on the cheap, and all is happy in the world. Alas, that probably won’t happen, especially with Carter Bryant starting to come into his own, so it then comes down to if they think they can get a sign-and-trade deal done for Sochan this summer. If so, they probably need to start showcasing him again (health permitting) to up his value, or if the goal is to give him his qualifying offer let the market determine his value, keep it low. Or they could just let him walk this summer. I don’t know, all I do know is I’m sad about the entire thing.
Barrington: In a perfect world, Jeremy Sochan would find his offense and shooting touch and become a rotation player for the Spurs. But he just hasn’t looked that great in the limited playing minutes he’s had so far this season and maybe it’s time for a change of scenery to reinvigorate his career. I just want to see the guy succeed, and if it’s somewhere else than in San Antonio, I’m OK with that, except in games he plays against the Spurs.
But for this season, I expect him to remain with the team and serve as injury insurance, and to provide depth. He’s not a great fit in the current roster, but I would support the coaching staff trying to put him into roles where he can succeed. The best-case scenario is that he’ll have a basketball renaissance and it will be springtime for Sochan and Poland, and everybody wins.
Gomez: The answer is probably “nothing,” which is a little sad. I don’t think there’s a way for Sochan to find his way back into the rotation unless there’s a major injury that forces Mitch Johnson’s hand. Waiving him is probably the best for Sochan, as he would be able to try to find minutes elsewhere, but no one can blame the Spurs for wanting to have him around just in case an injury does happen. He might just have to stick around until the summer, when he’ll likely leave unceremoniously in free agency.
Wilco: Ahh, Jeremy. It wasn’t even three years ago that he was in New York doing interviews at the draft as the Spurs picked Victor first. There was so much to look forward to, but the shot never came around and the league has gotten to the point where point guards who can’t defend and power forwards who can’t shoot have turned into dinosaurs because they’re quite simply unplayable. I hope #10 can find his shot someday, and soon, but until then there’s not really much of a place for him on the Spurs and they’ll either waive him or let him go at the end of his contract.
