My guess is they draft Dilingham/Topic/Risacher at 4 and CastleSheppard//Klingon/Buzelis/Cody Williams at 8, with the starting lineup potentially looking like one of these two: Dilingham/Topic Vassell Buzelis/Cody Williams Sochan Wemby OR

True, but only because they are sitting at 4, so they are going to be able to take a point guard with upside which should absolutely be the pick. If they were sitting at 7 or 8 shit might get dicey for them and they might have had to move up into the top 4 to get the guard they want. If they...

It wasn't in our interest to invade Iraq or Afghanistan. But we did. Because they don't have WMDs.

And I think we should be shopping Keldon and 8 for Ingram if possible. Seems he is on his way out and I don't know if the Pelicans are going to get more than a bench scorer and a top 10 pick for him. Almost every team that needs a wing scorer has a wing scorer other than the Spurs, Pistons, and...

The more I think of it, the more a DET/HOU swap seems to make sense to me. In fact, for Houston it make sense to make a series of moves down before consolidating assets and moving out altogether and trading for an established name.

You should break out #1. Sounds like the shots are very different. I think Castle becomes a passable shooter while Holland’s shot is DOA.

Tbh if Detroit is smart they take Dillingham. I think he can play off Cunningham. The only problem is Ivey, but if they're acquiring talent, just figure it out later. There's not a ton of star upside in the draft and RD has some of it. But I do think Reed fits there very well, too.

i can totally see this happening on draft night.

Don't think second round picks are going to get you Bruce Brown. If it does Spurs should be all over it though.

Guaranteed he’s going 2 to WAS now lol

It's a proxy war and definitely in our interest.

:lmao now you move the goalpost to present day?

NBA central Twitter posted it… some athletic writer says the spurs have strong interest in Stephon Castle.

I'd add for #2, that Topic needs to become a league average defender AND become a league average shooter. In which case, #1 seems most likely.

To boot the timing. Could have ended on Cohen admitting he stole from Orange Criminal. Now the jury goes on a week break with the final memory of Costello being a jackass.

i don't think there is any player in this draft that i think the spurs should trade up for. i do think there are some that i'd be okay with them trading down for, though.

That’s right. Hmm, I have a hard time seeing DET taking Dillingham 5 when they have Ivey/Cade. In any case I wonder if Reed doesn’t fit them better? Have a feeling if Dillingham makes it to 4 he’ll make it to 8.

We're not at war with Russia because of WMDs. We're not at war with Russia because it's not in our interest to be at war with Russia over Ukraine. Even Biden and most of the GOP know that.

What is a fantasy? The mobilization bill? Seriously? :lol Ukraine's new mobilization bill just came into effect this weekend after almost a full year of debate... and it only lowers the conscription age to 25. In the US, you register for selective service at age 18. We're told this is a...

If it‘s Castle at 4, so be it. they might see some Kawhi in him (Kawhi the player, Not Kawhi the nephew). in that scenario I would like Cody at 8. or the best shooter left. that might be Sheppard, or McCain or Knecht.

The most talented offensive players, with their mpg/usage/shot profile, the spacing of today's game and the rules that cater to them (non bigs) are going to have those explosions no matter who the primary or POA defender is. Castle and Sochan would be untenable together offensively, more than...

Just for entertainment purposes - Which of these is most likely? 1. Ron Holland / Stephon Castle become league average shooters 2. Nikola Topic becomes a league average defender 3. Reed Sheppard / Rob Dillingham grow 2 inches EDIT: 4. Risacher gains self-creation abilities

We have to get defenders somehow. I'm about done with getting torched by Jalen Brunson for 60 points. Castle was key in the tournament, helping keep Boo Buie to 2-15 shooting as primary defender, Terrence Shannon Jr to 2-12, etc. Sochan would probably guard the bigger players like Doncic, Castle...

I don't understand why anyone thought Denver would go back to back. You need overwhelming basketball talent to do that. Outside of Jokic the rest of their team is a regular ass team. Murray has never been an all nba player or even an all star

I doubt Porter Jr. will be the sacrificial lamb to cure their tax/depth issues, it'll probably be Caldwell-Pope (if they can convince Gary Harris to return for the taxpayer MLE of $5.1M), maybe packaging draft capital to get a team with cap space to take Nnaji or possibly Jackson and then seeing if...

Was there ever any player who was in a similar situation as Wemby who got an All-NBA nod?

It's no secret I want Dillingham. I take him there, as he's my priority and to make sure Detroit doesn't get him. Then as I suggest, at least in this scenario, jumping up to grab Castle at 6.

Who are you sweetening the pot for to basically get your guy at 4? (As opposed to just taking Castle there)

my issue with castle is i just dont know what you're getting out of him offensively. jumper aside, he's not sudden athlete. doesnt get up very high. doesnt have burst off the dribble. doesnt have great handles. doesnt really have a midrange game (has good touch in the paint, floaters, etc). makes...
