It sounds like a lot—four first-round picks for Young—but the Spurs are essentially trading down, giving up two seconds (with the protections on the Hornets' selection) and sending the Hawks back their picks for Murray.
From a point of view, San Antonio executes a delayed trade of Murray for Young, enabling the team to be awful enough in the interim to land Wembanyama.
The Spurs have collected several first-round picks through the rebuilding process, but Wembanyama changed the timeframe. Even this year, San Antonio may have a top-five pick, but can it find a player ready to help more than Young?
The general consensus in league circles is that the top of this draft (see B/R's Jonathan Wasserman's mock) may not turn around an immediate impact player. If the Hawks want to gamble and San Antonio can drop back to around 20, that's a worthwhile price for an All-Star.
In terms of players, Jones is well-regarded by the Spurs, but the Young/Carter combination is a clear upgrade. Graham and Cissoko are expendable. San Antonio would execute the trade by using cap room to take in Young and the room mid-level exception to acquire Carter from the Bulls (a new rule in the 2023 collective bargaining agreement that starts this July).
The Spurs would waive Charles Bassey and renounce the rights to any free agents (Cedi Osman, Sandro Mamukelashvili, etc.). San Antonio would retain Julian Champagnie, whose $3 million salary is non-guaranteed.
Finally, if the Hawks want to haggle over picks, the Spurs also have future firsts from the Toronto Raptors (2024, top-7 protected), Bulls (2025, top-10 protected), Celtics (2028, top-1 protected) and Dallas Mavericks (2030, via unprotected swap).
