    Kid is shot-blocking machine ! Offensively he is still raw, but his ceiling defensively is absolutely great.

    Can't believe Denver pretty much gifted the Jazz that 1st round pick. I wonder if SA would have taken him if he was available at the time, or if JLC was the main target from the beginning.

    The spurs also missed on Tavares who seems like Gobert 2.0, imo.

    There is NO team that will help us move up in the draft for our scraps/picks. Most teams (HOU/POR in particular) will actively work against us, so you really need to pull your head out of your ass with this "if only" .
    Gobert went 1 pick ahead and was seemingly sold to the highest bidder. Help has nothing to do with it.

    Lack of vision is a weapon to be exploited, but guess what the problem is?

    And Nic Batum went one pick ahead of us in 2008, also sold to the highest bidder. You think Houston would have EVER traded that pick to us?

    Teams will actively work against San Antonio. Just like any business, there are professional jealousies. We missed out on getting a young, impressionable JR Smith in 2006 because Billy Knight of ATL refused to pick up his phone on trade deadline day to help RC leverage a few tens of thousands of dollars. You think anyone will trade with anyone, but I assure you, your Pollyanna view is NOT the real world.

    Well, there were minutes left to the deadline, and RC was in San Antonio and BK was in Atlanta, but thank you again for revealing your foolishness and naivete.

    You would only refuse to sell until you look like the loser for what you turned down. Winning isn't the only thing, it's not even everything.

    He'll be the next great big though, especially on defensive.

    He's going to be a legit 20 and 12 guy.

    They didn't. Utah will pay him and he will likely spend most of his career there. Stop bumping this ing thread.

    The point is that the Spurs need to stop ing around with the hack game and draft a big that can play some D against guys like Blake and Deandre. Anthony Davis is growing up, Noel had his name in the race for ROY, Okafor and more Kentucky bigs are coming, and the Spurs are going to lose Tim soon. Gobert should have been a Spur, the big rotation has obviously been overachieving. Replace Ayers with Dexter Pittman, even. And the Spurs at least have a hail mary to throw. Maximum opportunity has not been accomplished.

    This is the typical case where I'd hope that the Spurs were more aggressive in the draft.

    Utah got him for peanuts from Denver, 1 pick above our pick. a 2nd and cash. Denver didn't even want that pick. Spurs could have offered more than that easily, even including a stashed guy or something else.

    Gobert is a defensive stud. Utah went from garbage (with Kanter) to elite defensively pairing Gobert and Favors.

    Well, nothing we can do about it anymore. Gobert is not leaving Utah anytime soon

    Gobert won't be half the player on either side of the ball that Anthony Davis is. The GOAT talk needs to stop. He's long, but a stick. He'll likely never be able to defend in the post, or post anyone up. He's an elite weakside shotblocker. That's about it.

    Another player Spurs fans overhype because he plays good on a bad team, and/or has a good game or two against us. He will probably have a better career than Livio Jean Charles who we selected, but nothing to be upset about that is going to haunt us down the line I hope. Their will be a draft or free agent that we will get that long athletic big man that are easy to find . Duncan does a pretty job getting his hand on a lot of shots, and Splitter does a good job altering shots himself.
