Agree and based on TIMVP board etc..it doesn’t sound like SA values any one player SO much that they’d trade up to get someone.

Givony said 4+8. I believe all the rumors came from him.

So in listening to Trajan - DET seems open to both adding decent players on bad contracts and/or moving back for extra draft capital. Seems to me Spurs have plenty with pick 8 to move to pick 5 IF they see the need to move up. Whether that’s Tre Jones + 8 or something like 8 + a future...

As in the other thread, assuming the Spurs want Risacher: ATL: 50/50 WAS: X HOU: X Atlanta wants to get the Spurs to bite on Risacher. They've already said they like Clingan. There's risk that Houston might take and trade Clingan if he drops, but this seems like Houston is okay with that...

Wasn’t it all started by Givony from ESPN insinuating SA would possibly trade 4 and next years 25 ATL pick back to them?

I have the same feeling I have about Tobias Harris. We’re not going to compete for anything other than a play in. To do that, we need floor raising veterans on short contracts. Like Harris, I don’t care about Paul’s playoff shortcomings. That’s not likely to be an issue.

Yeah, the mocks are all over the place. Although talent is less than ideal, it’ll still make for an interesting night.

Seems an easy bluff to call. Even if the Spurs valued Risacher, it's not hard to see that Atlanta isn't entirely comfortable taking him. Atlanta can't even know that he's at the top of the Spurs' board. They're going on Wembanyama's French relationship and comments he's made supporting a fellow...

Has Marc Stien predicted anything noteworthy in recent years? I just don’t see why the Spurs would want to move up to 1; feels like ATL driving that narrative.

I think Quinn and Landry were only ever in Austin. If there were ever a draft to get a wrong read on SA, this would be that draft. It’s so flat, and you’re as likely to get Player A at 3 as you are at 8 or 9.

i am for drafting sarr, but i don't have to comment on sochan's season to do that. Sochan is number 3 in the franchise, and he's the most versatile defensively. He'll find a spot in the starting lineup no matter who we draft.

I highly doubt, even with their relationship, that SA would give them that leverage by letting them know that. But either way, if Im SA I am calling their bluff and see if they take Risacher with pick 1. I hope they do tbh…

It's probably Atlanta seeding all sorts of rumors to entice someone to move up, since it's become apparent they won't take Sarr and could get their target by trading back. I don't think the media has any clue as to what the Spurs are going to do.

Would Quinn Snyder and Landry Fields have some type of org knowledge as to how SA goes about their draft processes?

No. 35 probably holds more value than a late FRP.

Andy will be along shortly to wax philosophical on the finer points of this, with his sage and oft shared (and oft unsolicited) wisdom.

It's called war, son. There are nary rules. Nary.

Bust that hole, Putin!!!

This is all moot because I don't see it for a second, but: Sochan gets traded and whoever the third big in his stead is, it has to be a "laser" like stretch four. Play the Eiffel Towers together for approximately the first 6 minutes of each half, then alternate them as the sole big, with...

If I wanted a shotblocker Sheppard would be a much better option than Salaun lol

I personally dont have anything against you or anyone else on Spurstalk. Some take this way to personally. I have just been clowing around with everybody. Its all good in my book. Have a great day brotha. :bobo

I'd pick Sarr if he's there at #4, but I would most definitely not start him right away. Wemby will probably play 30-32mpg, Sarr as his backup would guarantee 48mpg of elite rim protection and they could share the floor for 8-10 minutes. Two of Wemby-Sochan-Sarr always on the floor, but never all...

Theres nothing WAS would want IMO since they want Sarr and trading 2 for 4 would mean HOU could take Sarr. Only way Wash would trade is if Clingan went first and they legitimately like Risacher and Sarr equally and are guaranteed one of them. But from what we are seeing, that seems highly unlikely...

If we take Sarr then Sochan gets moved in a trade. I gotta say though, I've never been high on Sochan. I've advocated moving him to indy for Jarace Walker last draft, but some of the takes about the guy are ridiculous. He's not so good that you avoid drafting someone who plays his position,...

Do we really think Spurs value Risacher so clearly that ATL thinks that may work? What would give them that impression that SA loves Risacher above all other players?

This Sochan goes to the bench with a Sarr addition Spurs are still not finished yet with the team build and will need to find a high volume scoring SF. In next year's draft they add this player.
