Official 2013 NBA Draft Thread

[TE]

No
I'd like to be wrong

[Libri]

Gobert, Green, Franklin

[007nites]

Jeff Withey

[timvp]

I'm hoping for Rudy Gobert, tbh.

[SenorSpur]

I'm still waiting for Jalen Rose to say something intelligent tonight. I basically disagree with everything hes said all night.

Rose is a dumb-ass, who believes he knows-it-all. He brings down every broadcast he's a part of.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Erick Green! Erick Green!

You son of a bitch.

[DesignatedT]

Nevermind. OKC going Andre Roberson according to Woj.

[Buddy Holly]

OK city going Crabbe at 26.


Nope.

[Kidd K]

Even if they take Crabbe. . . Mitchell, Franklin, and possibly Ledo are still good takes imo.

We actually have options for once.

[Chinook]

I'm hoping for Rudy Gobert, tbh.

How do you feel about the possibility of getting Thomas Robinson?

[PlayNando]

Jeff Withey
I prefer him or Muscala, tbh.

[RD2191]

Please lord, no green. Please

[AFBlue]

You son of a bitch.

:lol

[BatManu20]

OKC selects... Andre Roberson?? Who? Spurs have a couple options here. Please not Green!

[ducks]

still on the board

[Kidd K]

Damn 4 good players available still. Who should we take?

[Mugen]

Hoping for a big or a backup 3/4 tweener tbh.

[DPG21920]

So Roberson is going to OKC it appears.

[barakz21]

Oooooops. My bad. Please don't bomb me. :lol

[RD2191]

Ledo Ledo Ledo

[Chinook]

Harrison Barnes on the block? I could see it for the right deal.

[Baam]

Denver will take Gobert, perfect backup for Javale.

[Strategic]

Damn looks like a lively thread tonight. Just got here from my J.O.B. in time. Can the Spurs pull a rabbit out?

[benefactor]

Dammit...I hope they don't take that big french wrong end of the poster generator.

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

Spurs probably won't. But they need to buy the Nuggets pick and get Ledo and Muscala.

[loveforthegame]

Denver breaking hearts right now. :lol

[Sausage]

Franklin Crabbe or Ledo please.

[AFBlue]

Mitchell?

[Ditty]

Guy from San Antonio going to the Warriors in the first round. Something you don't see alot of players come out of San Antonio.

[Rito3d30]

god please
not Green please

[sdsucwsl]

You really don't know your basketball if you think Snell can create for himself.


lol i watched or went to every UNM game over the past 3 years and you're insane if you think Tony can't create for himself. If you don't believe me go back and watch the conference semifinals tape. :tu

[TE]

Spurs are going to take someone who no one predicted tbh

[loveforthegame]

Wait. Denver is trading the pick.

[benefactor]

Denver will take Gobert, perfect backup for Javale.
Thank God. I had to peek. :)

[barakz21]

Gobert to the Nugs at 27, but will then be traded according to Chad Ford. Oh, and he didn't say to which team he'll be traded to.

[coyotes_geek]

ESPN screwed up. This is the Nuggets pick, not the Spurs, WTF are they doing showing a commercial now?

[Dingle Barry]

Damn you Denver. I'll be cool with Franklin Crabbe or Mitchell.

[Darkwaters]

27 is now Denver's pick

[Russ]

Watch em pick Livio Jean-Charles. :lol

[PlayNando]

Spurs are going to take someone who no one predicted tbh
This is the Spurs we are talking about. You're probably right, tbh.

[loveforthegame]

Denver's pick to the Jazz.

[barakz21]

ESPN screwed up. This is the Nuggets pick, not the Spurs, WTF are they doing showing a commercial now?

:lol

[Captivus]

Spurs have more options than I thought....Im not sure about green, like the position but too small IMO.

[AFBlue]

Gobert to the Nugs at 27, but will then be traded according to Chad Ford. Oh, and he didn't say to which team he'll be traded to.

Blazers or Rockets I'm sure.

[BatManu20]

Yes! Thank you Denver

[ace3g]

Guy from San Antonio going to the Warriors in the first round. Something you don't see alot of players come out of San Antonio.

Mike Monroe @Monroe_SA
(http://twitter.com/Monroe_SA)Andre Roberson first San Antonio high school player taken in first round since Jeff Foster (1998)

[DesignatedT]

Erick Green coming up!!!!!

[Darkwaters]

27 is now Denver's pick

Excuse me, Utah

[Baam]

was beat to it nvm

[DPG21920]

Mitchell, Muscala, Ledo or Gobert all would be solid. Spurs in a great spot. Plus a TR trade possible.

[barakz21]

I'd be glad if the Spurs pick a 2-3 tweener in the first round and the French dude in the second round...

[Libri]

Spurs pushing for someone to take Green so far hasn't worked.

[hommeaetage]

Nuggets playing black market with the 27th, tbh

[Russ]

Spurs need Crabbe.

[dbestpro]

Livian-Charles

[Kidd K]

I am cool with any of the following guys:

Crabbe
Franklin
Mitchell
Ledo


We're gonna get someone good this time. :)

[barakz21]

Gobert to be traded to Utah

[TE]

Livian-Charles
yep

[ffadicted]

Wait what, that trade can't be right lol

[Russ]

Crabbe is there if they want him!

[Captivus]

I WANT ALLEN!!!!

[bluebellmaniac]

Finally have great options with our pick!!!!!!

[Raven]

damn fuck that.

[DPG21920]

Damn, Stern is just taunting the crowd. Straight pwnage by the MC. :lol

[timvp]

Prepare for meltdown.

[lefty]

le roi Da Gobert !!!!!

[Chinook]

Utah can't just have enough young bigs that are too raw to start, apparently. They're probably trading Gordon Heyward for it.

[freetiago]

noooooooo
there goes our monkeyballer of the future

[TE]

fuck you denver

[loveforthegame]

Prepare for meltdown.

[Darius Bieber]

:flag:

Servers ready for this timvp? :lol

[exstatic]

Ford says this is a trade...no word on who yet.

[Libri]

:pctoss

Who's your next choice?

[bluebellmaniac]

Franklin!!!!

[BatManu20]

Spurs aren't picking Crabbe here. He plays no D.

[RD2191]

Ledo please!!!!!!!!! Do me a solid Spurs! Please

[DesignatedT]

Commercial! Right on cue.

[DPG21920]

:pctoss

He was had for a late 2nd rounder and cash. If the Spurs liked him he could have easily been had.

[ace3g]

Spurs fooled Woj, lol

[TE]

Ford says this is a trade...no word on who yet.
...

[DPG21920]

Commercial! Right on cue.

Called it!

[phxspurfan]

who the hell is George Hill? Wtf RC! CDR!

[PlayNando]

If we select a monkeyballer, I'm going to throw a hissy fit, tbh!

[BatManu20]

Commercial of course lol

[ace3g]

and there is the commercial, lol

[ffadicted]

Meltdown in 3...2...1...

[AFBlue]

Lol...who called the commercial during Spurs pick earlier. Awesome!

[Raven]

am i right or tony mitchell is still on the board?

[hommeaetage]

Ready for the meltdown

[phxspurfan]

Who the fuck is this kid Beano?

[ducks]

Ford says this is a trade...no word on who yet.

be cool if it was to spurs and spurs still have the 28 pick

[Kool Bob Love]

SMFH

[crc21209]

:lol Commercial as always...

[DesignatedT]

Spurs select Jean Charles.

[coyotes_geek]

ESPN screwed up. This is the Nuggets pick, not the Spurs, WTF are they doing showing a commercial now?

:tu

Whew. They fixed it.

[Spurs Brazil]

@WojYahooNBA
The San Antonio Spurs will select French forward Livio Jean-Charles with the 28th pick in the NBA Draft, league source tells Y! Sports.

[loveforthegame]

No surprise.

[barakz21]

I keep refreshing Chad Ford's twitter feed, nothing new. Damn this suspense!

[Baam]

Livio lol so disappointing

[3 Legged Dog]

Come on Crabbe

[50 cent]

Like clockwork every year. Fucking commercial.

[DPG21920]

Utah traded for Gobert fyi..

[kolko]

Jean-Charles!

[Biggems]

I am hating denver quite a bit right now

[Strategic]

Come on Spurs make my day

[Russ]

Prepare for meltdown.

No matter what . . .

[Captivus]

Maybe Franklin....

[Dingle Barry]

LJC zzz

[bbarry]

spurs pick Livio Jean-Charles

[hsxvvd]

Always the fucking add break on the Spurs pick

[noles1983]

another damn european wtf

[RD2191]

Son of a fuking whore! Fuk!

[Baam]

So the TRob trade is officially dead?

[DPG21920]

Hopefully this will be traded for Thomas Robinson.

[3 Legged Dog]

Livio lol so disappointing

I hope you're kidding

[TE]

crofllivio!

[exstatic]

Ford says this is a trade...no word on who yet.

Utah's #46 plus cash for Gobert.

[davidbowie]

no more frenchies ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[IcemanCometh]

The San Antonio Spurs will select French forward Livio Jean-Charles with the 28th pick in the NBA Draft

[exstatic]

So the TRob trade is officially dead?

They don't have to trade him during the draft.

[Sean Cagney]

So the TRob trade is officially dead?

That never was going to happen IMO.

[SpursDynasty21]

I'm not happy with this pick.

[weebo]

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

[Ron Swanson]

Quit talking about the fucking Finals. Shit.

[Baam]

So Spurs' picks do leak, and even a long time beforehand.

[Raven]

smh

[noles1983]

fucking spurs, do we have more international players than we do US?

[Chinook]

He's a stashable player, so no, the Robinson trade is not dead.

[Libri]

@WojYahooNBA

Don't know anything about him but I'm guessing a project.

[AFBlue]

Jean-Charles is a good pick, and if he becomes T-Rob even better.

[ThePop]

I'm not happy with this pick.

Who here has been happy about any pick since Duncan?

[Baam]

But Livio could become a great backup for KAwhi seriously

[32fastest]

7.9 wingspan? Holy crap.

[DPG21920]

No where near the most upside/talented player left, but could be solid and good size. Supposedly solid work ethic. This is a cap space type pick...

[davidbowie]

So Spurs' picks do leak, and even a long time beforehand.

woj doesnt count. hes that dude

[TE]

Ah whatever, fuck it...

[Libri]

Who here has been happy about any pick since Duncan?

People were happy about Blair, tbh.

[loveforthegame]

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA 4s

Spurs pick of Jean-Charles gives them a player that they can stash overseas next season and spare a roster spot and salary.

[noles1983]

Spurs draft as usual :sleep

[Russ]

Watch em pick Livio Jean-Charles. :lol

Heck, I was just joking.

Another soft Euro that probably won't come over. And even if he does he'll be a mental midget/choke artist when it's time to play post-season basketball.

[loveforthegame]

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA 37s

Golden State has moved back to No. 30, cutting a deal with the Suns, a source tells Y!

[Baam]

Livio is playing for TP's team so they can monitor him extremly easily.

[weebo]

boring pick

[noles1983]

fuck the FO

[Captivus]

dont like the pick....
Jamaal or Allen...why not???

[-21-]

Is this guy a 3 or a 4?

[benefactor]

http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=218466

[Kidd K]

Okay. . .

So we're obviously not getting any better with this draft.

[exstatic]

Meh.

[exstatic]

Is this guy a 3 or a 4?

Yes.

[Russ]

So OKC gets Crabbe. :(

[sdsucwsl]

Before you know it, the Spurs will be just like Arsenal FC.....there will be no players on the squad that are from the teams' native country.

[Darkwaters]

So the Spurs drafted a guy that plays for Tony Parker's team? Weird.

[DPG21920]

Spurs felt obviously overall talent was not as important as cap space.

[DesignatedT]

So glad I devoted my whole night to this!

[Captivus]

it appears we ARE boring...

[SpursDynasty21]

Hopefully the Spurs can find a good player in the second round.

[Raven]

damn fucking denver...

[Chinook]

Well, we know that Robinson HAS to be traded. So the idea that the deal is dead doesn't make too much sense. Unless Cleveland is going to get him with 31 and/or 33, every team is still in the running.

[weebo]

thinking long term?? da fuck...don't we have to win now with the age of our core??

[AFBlue]

19yr old, good athlete, great motor, room to improve. I don't get the hate on the pick

[Solid D]

I like the pick

[Johnny RIngo]

Who here has been happy about any pick since Duncan?

It's hilarious that the media even considers Parker/Ginobili second option calibre players. These two were always third option talent that benefited greatly from playing in the Spurs system.

Pretty dissapointed. Yeah it's nice to think for the future but we need contributors now. I hope they use that roster spot for a really, really good FA...

[phxspurfan]

James Gist deux

[exstatic]

The upside is that by making a "stash" pick, they think they're going to be bumping up to the tax this summer.

Let's go shopping.

[Strategic]

Looks ok. Can we just call him Chuck?

[exstatic]

[rascal]

Another stash player. So no one who could help the team next year.

[DPG21920]

This has to be a signal the Spurs value cap space. This guy isn't even a great prospect from what I've read and there were some pretty decent prospects left. If you value cap space more than anything, you take the best stash you can find and that changes the rankings on your board.

That's why I wanted Boris to opt out. That extra 4M in cap space could have been big.

[Russ]

Livio is playing for TP's team so they can monitor him extremly easily.

And Mahinmi too.

[Bruno]

Well, the surprise this year was that there were no surprise....

Jean-Charles is a really good kid but I don't really see him as something special. Let's hope I'm wrong on that.

Something else about that pick is that it's a stashed pick. It would mean Spurs are planing on being very active through free agency and want all their cap space.

I'll believe the Spurs will be players this summer when I see it.

[Texas_Ranger]

well looks like the spurs are signing some players this year.

[Holden_Caulfield]

so who are we saving the cap space for?

[3 Legged Dog]

Good athlete? Did you watch the film? Dude has no upside. Awful pick.

[ducks]

Good athlete? Did you watch the film? Dude has no upside. Awful pick.

what nba team is paying you

[3 Legged Dog]

so who are we saving the cap space for?

We won't have cap space because we'll pay Manure and Shitter more than they're worth

[AFBlue]

At least it wasn't Green!

[Russ]

Looks ok. Can we just call him Chuck?

How about Ian?

[Strategic]

Will Charles be able to play summer ball for the Spurs?

[Bruno]

If Spurs want to draft all french, they could go with Jordan Aboudou or Joffrey Lauvergne at #58. Both would be decent draft and stash picks with Lauvergne being the better one.

I'm saying that because Spurs seems obsessed with french players: Parker, Diaw, Mahinmi, De Colo and now Jean-Charles. They also have been linked more or less strongly with Batum, Gelabale, Turiaf or Pietrus. That's crazy.

[benefactor]

No more midgets or seven foot stiffs. These are good things.

[NickiRasgo]

Not happy with the pick, they can do better than that. He looks Cunningham to me.

[Bruno]

Will Charles be able to play summer ball for the Spurs?

Nope, he will play with U20 FNT.

[exstatic]

so who are we saving the cap space for?

With Sacramento picking McLemore, I'd say Tyreke Evans is definitely in play.

[Captivus]

I wanted someone that could see minutes next season...:depressed

[DPG21920]

Is Gobert coming over right away? If not, shocked the Spurs did not move up to get him. Did not cost very much at all.

[3 Legged Dog]

Looks horribly un athletic. With no upside. Averaged only 3ppg for France

[Johnny RIngo]

Good athlete? Did you watch the film? Dude has no upside. Awful pick.

Makes DeColo look like a great player, in comparison. These French players are fucking garbage. Don't know why the Spurs FO is so obsessed with them.

evans would be great

[freetiago]

Spurs picks have been horrible these past few years
George Hill was the only solid pick but that draft was so solid
if Hill wasnt picked then guys like Batum, Pekovic, Darrel Arthur, Mario Chalmers, DeAndre Jordan, Asik, Mbah a Moute, and Dragic would still be on the board

people who get their hopes up on free agents signing are gonna be as disappointed as when we lost the Finals tbh

[Captivus]

this guy is a cartoon....

[exstatic]

There were a lot of teams that stashed. First round talent slid because of cap sheet manipulation.

Well, wait and see time for what the Spurs actually do. I wonder when they will make a decision on Bonner? Will they eat that 1M and amnesty him or do they just waive him? Trade him? Lot's of options, but really the only way to fee up their cap space besides not brining back Neal/Blair and trade De Colo/Mills.

[DPG21920]

Some uncertainty with this finals loss: Assistant coaches have been picked bone dry, lots of FA's with serious financial questions and a draft that in the moment will not help.

Let's go off season, make it happen.

[freetiago]

A glorified Lakers tbh
not worried about them
but a Lopez/Garnett frontcourt can shit on Miami
Garnett can cover Lopez defensive flaws and provide the spacing they didnt have
going from Evans/Wallace to Pierce should make them a 2nd seed
just dont see them having the juice to win a title
too many TOSBs

[Captivus]

Allen in CLE....they can even take Franklin...
