Spurs Fiesta 5: Pistons' Marvin Bagley III Mock Trade to San Antonio

In this story:
1. BAGLEY TO SPURS? "Subbing out Bagley's deal for Bullock's expiring contract also drums up more flexibility ahead of next summer. Two seconds should be enough for the Spurs to eat the extra year. Bagley's contract is, for now, a net negative, but he's earning less than non-taxpayer mid-level money," Bleacher Report writes.
2. AVERY JOHNSON DEFENDS VIC "Are you up for an extension here at CBS Sports?" Johnson jokingly asked. "Because if you are I'm talking to all the big bosses. I will not support your extension with that type of mind."
3. SPURS ARENA ALLY "The Spurs have Wembanyama as reason enough to drum up excitement for a new stadium, but they might also have an unlikely ally in the San Antonio Missions, the city's minor league baseball team."
4. JONES OFFICIALLY SIGNS "The Spurs announced in a press release that the team has re-signed Tre Jones."
5. KAWHI TRADE ANNIVERSARY "Arguably, one of the most notable days in San Antonio Spurs franchise history took place five years ago today, July 18, when the team traded franchise cornerstone Kawhi Leonard and sharpshooter Danny Green to the Toronto Raptors."
