Yeah, next year's draft shouldn't really play into the strategy of this one at all. Some of these prospects may (and probably will) fizzle out, and you have no clue where you'll be picking. You stick with your board this year and deal with next year when the time comes.

Sheppard makes sense next to a big point guard, or someone who can take some point duties who can cover for his lack of size on defense. One reason why Houston is potentially a fit, with Amen. A Castle-Sheppard selection makes sense in the same way. They can both run actions and Castle covers...

For some context, here is the average SRS (from bkref) of the playoff opponents for Duncan and James. DUNCAN JAMES

Just try and get Charlotte to give you 6 for 8 + their pick back and take both. They may very well compliment each other better than any pair we could pick.

Yea I'm not taking Sheppard at 4 personally. Much rather have Castle. But at 8 he becomes a real consideration if he's still on the board imo, depending on who else is available of course.

California is also one of a handful of states that allow for a "mistake of age" defense (citation below). One thing you can be certain of on this forum, the more confident exstatic is in his position, the higher the likelihood that he's wrong. ...

Yeah think I'd jump on a deal of say #4 + Keldon for Galand.

The nuggets are lousy, but the sauces are pretty good. Though if I'm getting nuggets is Wendy's every time for their spicy nuggets that don't need sauce.

This shit is wild. A fool and his money are easily separated.

Garland is a better player than everyone not named Victor on the Spurs. A lot of players are going to make 40M a year. People just need to get used to the salaries increases.

Exactly.... Bilal, Deni, Risacher, and Kispert are the ones they keep

i was interested in castle when i thought he'd be a SG/SF type. im much less interested in him as a point guard

man, sounds like they’re clearing the runway for Risacher.

Cleaning house, about time

Meanwhile over the same 4 year period, as % of cap: Vassell: 20, 17, 15, 13% Wemby: 9, 8, 9, TBD So for the next 4 year that “Big 3” is: 55, 50, 48, TBD That’s a good cap situation to still be able to build around 4 years. And after Wemby signs his extension you can move on from Dev...

We are either getting Topic or Castle with the 4th pick, after that, who knows

Castle is firmly in my mix at #4. I've been high on him all year to varying degrees. He and Sheppard are neck and neck for me as 'possible' PG's on this level, albeit drastically different archetypes. Overall he's 4th or 5th on my Spurs Board for all the reasons you just listed. As for...

I agree that Clingan dropping all the way to 9 even is the worst case we need to be thinking about. What we wouldn’t want is Sheppard AND Dilly. Though we most likely have C Williams and Knecht as bail out options still at 8.

Yeah, Dillingham being ball dominant is a serious question. Givony is starting to think Reed Sheppard at #4.

It'll be interesting to see how it all pans out in a few years, but my worry with Dillingham is he'll need to be ball dominant in order to match his college production, where he had a usage rate of 30%... do you want an undersized ball dominant guy who isn't much of a defender to pair with Wemby?...

Castle can guard the 1-3 and Sochan the 2-4 so that is a nice way to deal with teams with two scoring wings and or guards. Castle/Sochan also a nice counter our main obstacle, large PGs Doncic and SGA. Agreed that if a nice PF is there at 35 that could be worth a shot. It’s a need we have to...

Well, he's finished. Its' Jake to be a proud Black man, but not a proud White man. tee, hee.

Worst case scenario: Atlanta takes Risacher, Washington falls in love with Castle, and Houston takes Sarr who falls into their lap. That would probably put the Spurs in a tough spot, provided they aren't fans of Dillingham as I believe to be the case.

36m, 39, 42, 44m over the next 4 year. But interestingly before the new TV deal goes into effect, his percent of cap hit goes down each year: 26%, 25, 24, 23% Expect that will decline further. It’s gonna take us all time to get adjusted to sticker shock, but reality is that the % of cap...

I agree that next year shouldn't factor into anything. No one knows who is actually going to be good next year. However, getting superior defensive guards can be difficult. Often the top PGs in drafts are the Isaiah Collier types, ball-dominant, a skillset the Spurs don't need. Castle can play...

In fairness to Castle,the jones brothers have played a combined 852 games, and started 285 of them. Neither can really be considered anything other than a stopgap solution.

Their food smells weird. My boy loves their nuggets and fries like most kids do, but it just smells so off-putting to me these days that I don't even grab loosies from the bag. No lie, I will eat 7-11 glizzies or pizza before even considering McDonalds.

I’m surprised they didn’t call a foul on Siakam just for being nearby.
