Really good off-season outlook article from ESPN here, for those curious about other team's situations: https://www.espn.com/nba/insider/story/_/id/40286276/nba-free-agency-2024-priorities-player-needs-30-teams-draft-outlook

There are Spurstalk posters who get knee injections and still make it up to the keyboard. Stop making excuses for Doncic.

The problem is any ATL trade that makes sense for us, probably makes them worse in the short term, enhancing the value of their 25 FRP. Its like a paradoxical situation.

The difference is each team keeping it's own pick versus ATL getting the better of the two picks. Doesn't matter if you assume the Spurs will be the better team, but you never know. In my proposal I actually expended slightly less Draft Capital than you are here, and I got one extra pick...

ATL is still young, have the #1 pick, and Jalen Johnson becoming an all star soon. They will be just fine. I’m not sure why people think these ATL picks are going to be amazing. ATL should be in the playoffs the next 3 years. Obviously maximizing an impact player or getting their picks back for...

2024 NBA Draft Board Tier 1: 1. Zaccharie Risacher 2. Alex Sarr 3. Matas Buzelis Tier 2: 4. Reed Shephard 5. Cody Williams 6. Stephen Castle 7. Dalton Knecht

Does anyone think the spurs are on their way if they put a package together for young and the number 1 pick ....then pick Riecher (sorry spelling) and start to fill in around with players that want to be here take less etc. sign a looney should he get released .. does that entice or intrigue...

Those fucking ATL picks are potentially going to give us a true runming mate for Wemby’s dynasty. It certainly isn’t coning from this draft or the current roster ATL can have Keldon or Vassell and some combo of 2024 #8, Chi 2025 FRP and a future Spurs FRP for DJ though.

His quick feet are such a weapon, he can create separation against anybody Him or Reed at 8

Spurs are not giving the picks back. ATL isn’t trading him to us for anything less. Not Happening unless they come WAY down on their price. I’d just a soon see him go to the Lakers.

i don't mind people getting it called wrong, everyone makes a bad pick, just so long as they own it. the celtics were the best team in the nba all year but i didn't expect them to go up 3-0 tbh

What's the difference? I'd rather have Vassell than Garland and adding two defensive liabilities to the core, while expending most-all of the "good" draft capital doesn't make sense. Overhauls generally happen incrementally and here they happen glacially.

1801348836817834391 PR damage control team putting a better showing than Luka, tbh.

Dilli or Castle at 4. Who cares who we take at 8. I halfway want them to take Topic just to see the board melt down.

In a relatively flat draft, taking someone like Clingan who could theoretically help them the most the next 3 years makes lots of sense especially considering their window and all the draft picks owed to the Spurs.

1801401022549488099 Trae Young + #1 to SA on draft night, it's happening boys, get ready for it

No. There is no comparison to LeBron - Luka literally berates the referees play after play, game after game. He even berates his own bench, wtf? He literally stops playing, leaving his team 5 on 4. Jokic is more in line with Lebron's level of whining. Luka is in his own stratosphere. It doesn't...

In that case, we should offer to swap the #4 pick and a second round pick or a heavily protected future first round pick in exchange for the #1 pick. And if they say no, then just wager that they pick Clingan anyway and hope Zaccharie falls into our laps.

People are dramatically overstating the Spurs' penchant for targeting big PGs. George Hill and Cory Joseph were drafted when the NBA listed height in shoes as a default. Hill measured at 6-1.25 and Joseph at 6-2 flat. Jones didn't do the combine, but he's 6-1. Patty Mills was 5-11.25, Ray McCallum...

ATL won’t go for that but throwing in Keldon Johnson and or Zack Collins could generate more interest. Adding Sarr and Murray at the cost of the 4 and the 8 sounds way too good to be true. Yes you throw in the 27 pick but that’s a bit down the road and the 26 pick is a coin flip though we’d like...

from a spurs-centric perspective, here's probably how i do it Tier 1 - I would be happy if we selected him at #4 overall Risacher Sheppard Dillingham Tier 2 - I would be content with selecting him at #4, but would be happy getting him at #8

Can't coach size and that 10 lbs makes him smaller than almost everyone but guys like Ja Morant and Trae Young who are way more talented (and in Morant's case way more athletic too) to make up for that deficiency. If they somehow get Risacher at 4 or really want Buzelis at 4 then I'm good with...

1801363266951664004 Obviously take with a grain of salt but…seems like the chatter around this keeps getting louder. Maybe he’s just repeating what other reports have hinted at though :lol

Because he played more than enough games to evaluate him properly. He's the same player regardless of if he weighed in at 150 or 200. He's still an electric offensive weapon and tragic defensively. Improving his understanding of the game and instincts on defensive end is way more important...

Malik Monk is definitely better than George Hill. So you’re asking me if Dillingham turns out better than Carter who would I pick? Obviously Dillingham although we may need to look at Fit. George Hill would be a slightly better fit for this team since he would start over Tre Jones while Monk would...

The way I look at tiers is that you would under no circumstance draft a player from a lower tier ahead of a player from a higher tier. So with that said, the tiers is very team dependent. So, my personal tiers, with the Spurs specifically in mind: Tier 1: Buzelis Sheppard Dillingham Castle...
