I think that's around the max they are able to offer...he'll get more in FA..

If you think Dillingham isn't a dynamic scorer or quick enough to get to the basket, I doubt you ever watched him. He's not guaranteed to succeed, but he definitely fits that mold.

Dillingham gives you shooting, rim pressure, and is begging to be a Spur. Get him at 4 without a doubt. I'm not against Castle but there seems to be an illogical push towards him. Do people think he's a good shooter now? He would have to show that in multiple workouts I would think. If you get...

The die hard Kings fan I work with seems think something around $17MM/yr is what the Kings will offer, fwiw

I got news for you, but Castle almost certainly will be too unless he does something virtually unheard of among his archetype and become a good enough shooter for defenses to respect. Dillingham and Sheppard stand good chances of being sixth men. Castle could easily range from fringe rotation...

Was about to post this. Lots of teams could be interested in trading up, especially to no. 4: Detroit at 5: just one pick but could be an important one given their needs, so maybe add in a Keldon / Ivey swap, or a top 4 protected '25 FRP swap. Charlotte at 6: some players are all but certain to...

...ask that cocksucker a squattin' in the White House. He must know.

They've been linked to him, Klay, D'Lo and even PG13. They can't get them all..

Wemby going to demand a trade to Mets92 so he can save them

He needs to crush this pre-draft process.

I don't think Dillingham will be as good as people think. His size will be a problem in the NBA. He doesn't look quick enough to get to the basket on a regular. Sheppard is only going to be a role player off the bench.

The Magic will throw a stupid bag at him. No interest in playing that game for Malik freakin Monk

If it’s true that the spurs will bring in a vet PG to mentor which ever guard they draft… what do we think of Isaiah Collier? I know his season was up and down but he’s big and physical, can you imagine teams guarding a pick & roll with him and wemby!

I think it's foolish to trade him for just the sake of it. But, he has value in his own right not least of which is because of his contract's structure, so in my view it would be equally unwise not to explore using it to upgrade the roster. But no rush yet -- I think the window for doing that...

Of course, but you know how they operate. Too unnecessarily risky to leave that to chance. I'm not out on Castle (though I'm always skeptical of the archetype) so much as I am his fit on this roster. It's not just the lack of shooting either, it's the lack of assertiveness.

I would agree if there were players who project to be elite offensive talents but there isn't any in this draft. Dillingham is the best and he will be possibly the worst defender in the NBA day 1. We should be swinging for upside on players like Topic, Castle, Risacher, Buzelis, etc.

Plus we are in a world economy. China is good at building cheap electric vehicles and solar power stuff. What good does it do the average American to raise the cost of these items?

The other thing to consider is the teams just below us, and wanting to trade up. Memphis seems very likely to want Clingan, who could go out of their reach and trade up. Likewise, Chicago has perimeter talent but Vucevic is not great, and could look to trade up. If Chicago offered 11 and...

You guys really like to put people in narrow little boxes of left and right. I'm pretty much straight down the middle. Economic conservative and social liberal. As far as I'm concerned the less government interference the better. On this specific subject I'm ok with not giving the Chinese the...

There are zero offensive dynamic players in this draft. Dillingham/ Risacher and Sheppard won't be high volume scorers.

I frankly don't understand how we can try to evaluate players, predict their impact in a league, based on these kinds of statistics. The role these players had in their team was not the same. Some people think as if we were talking about college games. Fournier was a scorer, he was precocious,...

IMO, there is a clear and obvious upgrade to this role who happens to be a FA this year, but will likely cost a little more than Keldon, and that is Malik Monk. He's already obviously quite proven in this role (5th and then 2nd in 6OTY voting in the last two seasons), and it a more fluid scorer...

Pop, #4 and #8 this year, KJ and ____ for Donny Mitchell. Or Mobley.

Do these contracts have clauses that allow them to leave if the tv deal is lost?

It was so awkward that they interviewed Scottie Barnes from Toronto and he was like "can't wait to see who we get" and then Toronto loses their pick, LOL

So who would folks replace Keldon with as the team's sixth man? I have seen multiple trade ideas where the Spurs basically get rid of Johnson almost as a way to add value to SA's ledger. I've said it before, but I don't think there's an upgrade to his role in the draft or free agency. On a...

Sure, in those scenarios you laid out there will be a few who will be upset at the outcome. I kinda doubt it’s likely they don’t select a sure-thing on offense at 8th if they pick Castle at 4th though. For the record, I was a massive Castle hater until recently. He moves like a future star on...
