3 polarizing things the Spurs' offseason moves should tell fans

1. Keldon Johnson is not getting traded

Hopefully, Johnson can keep himself insulated from social media because, as soon as he does something fans don't like, questions will be asked about why he wasn't traded. But the answer to that question is simple: there wasn't a good enough offer out there. Johnson's age and contract make him a valuable commodity, and the Spurs shouldn't give him up for less than he's worth.

There were rumblings through most of the season about KJ's status as trade bait. Fans have been so desperate to get back to winning that his sometimes frustrating playstyle, merged with those rumors, has amassed almost deafening calls to trade him—he seemed like a prime candidate, but that didn't materialize.

Everything else Brian Wright has done this offseason has been right. The Castle pick looks phenomenal and the veteran additions are perfect for this roster. It would be disingenuous to assume he was asleep at the wheel where Johnson is concerned, and it's not like the former Wildcat can't play, but he only shot 35% from three last season. This league demands space and shooting from most of the wing players in the NBA, so that number needs to increase immediately.

At 24 years old, Keldon is not a finished product. The Spurs may be banking that his growth hasn't stopped. What's clear is that next year, his contract will be a little more tradeable than it is now, since the number goes down from 20 to $19 million. If he doesn't make the improvements necessary to fit with the roster, we may find ourselves back in the same situation. Until then, get ready to see the Big Body bang for the Silver and Black in October.
