[Keepin' it real]

What's the over/under on how many times we'll see/hear/read that the Spurs "did it again" by drafting yet another diamond in the rough ... he'll be a great fit ... prototypical Spur ... outstanding value pick ... was projected as a lottery pick ... how do Pop and RC do it?

[BatManu20]

Lot out of people on here want Thon Maker. Pretty sure he's at least 21, and could be as old as 24. I'll pass.

:lol a 24-year-old man getting praise for dominating high-school kids. Even worse than the Jordan Shipley hype.

That means he could have been a 23 year old high schooler.

Thon could have made it to the NBA even being 23 because of his potential. Lying won't get you nowhere. Will be interesting to see if the allegations were true.

Being that dominant over people the same age as you is worth a lot more money than dominating people five years younger than you. Lying could have gotten him a shitload more money. If he's a decent player, his contract will be the same whether he lies or not.

Why? I said this in another thread, but there are questions about Ibaka and Biyombo's age. Being born in the Sudan or the Congo isn't like being born into a country like America where there are stringent laws about reporting population. Maker relocated to Australia when he was 5, or supposedly 5, to escape civil war. That is the first documentation of his age. He probably lived a portion of his life thinking he is younger than he actually is. It's not like he was thinking he was going to play in the NBA when he escaped war torn Sudan.

Pacers draft pick.

If he's any good, this exactly the kind of scenario I asked about in another draft thread about why great college players don't slide in the draft like they do in the NFL. If "Thon" is a great talent, then he could be the Spurs' equivalent of drafting a Randy Moss or Warren Sapp late in the 1st round.

[Chinook]

Why?

'Cause he sucks. It was already a strike against him because he was playing against high-schoolers. Now we find out he's a grown-assed man? It's obscene. Again, he's no better than Ryan Richards was back in the day. At least Richards was playing against people his own age.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Why did they omit Kawhi?

Spurs didn't draft Kawhi...

Thon is getting massively overrated. He doesn't even look good in highlight vids for god's sake. People are acting like this is the 50s.

He's clearly our best asset : good player, cheap contract.... and he has a connection with the 76ers and Brown as Australian HC. ( pick 24 and 26)

Mills gives them shooting. lol.. and Brett owes us one.

It's Danny Green because his locker room was cleaned out...

Danny and the 29 for Noel and the 24th?

[SPURt]

Pacers draft pick.
I understand the Spurs didn't have the draft pick that became Kawhi, but the Pacers must've drafted Kawhi in order to complete the deal for George Hill. So if the Pacers drafted Kawhi for the Spurs with no intention of keeping him wouldn't Kawhi be the Spurs draft pick?

[Mr. Body]

Malik Beasley certainly seems a target. If Mills is the casualty, this is the sort of player you go for.

[Mr. Body]

Danny and the 29 for Noel and the 24th?

If Noel can get the 3, why do you think he's with Green and the 29?

[DPG21920]

That would be bad a**

[Chinook]

If Noel can get the 3, why do you think he's with Green and the 29?

He's not getting three by himself, apparently. If so, the deal would be done already.

[Mr. Body]

Why would it be done already? Any rumors have the Celtics discussing him or Okafor.

Jonathan Givony @DraftExpress

Market for Nerlens Noel seems to be far overstated by some. More likely he fetches a late lottery pick in a trade as opposed to top-5 pick.

[TheGoldStandard]

If Noel can get the 3, why do you think he's with Green and the 29?

sixers want scoring and Green is a better talent now then anyone 1-10 in the draft..

[Chinook]

Wut.

[TheGoldStandard]

Wut.

Let me explain.. He's more NBA ready to run a Brett Brown system and actually do something in it than a rookie coming in and having to learn his role etc.. He's been apart of a championship team and championship team runs. Good glue guy.

While I can understand that argument as to why the Sixers would want him and even why a guy like Noel would be available for Green, I don't think anyone would consider Danny a better talent than Simmons (even if I think he's going to bust).

[Kawhitstorm]

The fuck is it with people not knowing their own age?

It's not that he doesn't his own age, it's just that they lie about it.:lol

[NASpurs]

I mean, Hawks still want to give up their 12th pick (unless something has changed from yesterday). Celtics have a ton of picks too. Who knows what Philly is planning to do but they're active.

[playblair]

trill clinton is legit
https://boxden.com/smilies/LJAPZEF.png

[objective]

I hope Danny Green is not traded. Very little chance they get fair value for him, and dumping him one season after that huge discount would be awful. At least give him two seasons before dumping. His contact is so cheap compared to value that I would turn down 12 without blinking.

[dabom]

If we get durant, I'd like to keep green. Bruce bowen off the bench.

[cd98]

These teams stockpiled on draft picks in hopes of cashing them in a trade for an all-star. That didn't work and so now they are sweating bc they actually have to draft someone.

[Big Empty]

Danny's inability to dribble and to create is more of a liability than is defense can make up for.

[Keepin' it real]

745682100762841089

Like that other guy from Florida a couple of years ago with the magical 3 point shot ... ooh, what a steal in the second round ... and never heard from again ... please no more of those.

[Keepin' it real]

It's Danny Green because his locker room was cleaned out...
:lol


La prueba está en el pudín.

[Chinook]

Danny's inability to dribble and to create is more of a liability than is defense can make up for.

Doesn't seem to stop DeAndre Jordan.

[cd98]

Wut.

I agree that it sounds ridiculous that Danny Green is better than 1-10. In reality, 5 of the top 10 will fail out of the NBA and 3 may never be starters on an NBA team. But they all have the potential to be better than Green and they are younger, so why not gamble on the lottery. If one of those teams needed a 3-D and had enough talent at other positions, it's conceivable they might make that trade, but we're talking about teams that are in the bottom part of the lottery.

[raybies]

Mock draft 10.0 on ESPN has us taking Isaiah cousins. I think this would be a good pick but in the second round. I mentioned him in the draft thread. This guy is a gym rat. He is a combo guard and a really good defender. Not my first selection but he is a for year player and would be ready to play day one.

[Ron Swanson]

Thad Young to the Pacers for #20 and a future 2nd pick.

[Spurs9]

Wonder where the hawks 12 ends up.

[Keepin' it real]

What about Domantas Sabonis? Is he better than that Giminski guy from Wisconsin who just tiptoed his was through his rookie season? Cowherd was mildly promoting Sabonis as a good pick today.

[raybies]

Wade Baldwin dropping in the ESPN and Dx mocks.

Jake Fischer: The Houston Rockets have called teams gauging interest in Trevor Ariza, Patrick Beverley and K.J. McDaniels, according to a league source.

you just compared a 2 guard dribbling skills with a center. talk about he ultimate apples to oranges comparison!

I can see that side of things. But if he sucks next season, they might not be able to get the same in return. But I'd only want him traded now if 1) they need to make room for Durant or 2) they've identified a draft pick that can have a quick impact.

[Chinook]

Score another one for Zika.

[loveforthegame]

They need to release a statement for that? :lol

[BatManu20]

Zipser is a guy I thought the Spurs would be interested in a few months ago. Thought he would be gone by the time we pick though.

746028426902052864

[jyra]

He played pretty well at the last Eurobasket tournament but I don't think that drafting another SF makes much sense given the bigger needs at other positions. Especially with Bertans and maybe even Hanga coming over.

This needs to be done so OKC can pitch long term plan to KD. They can't afford to have KD, Westbrook, Ibaka and Adams on the market next year. I've been saying it all along "one more year" isn't gonna get KD to sign on the dotted line..

[NASpurs]

Who knows how long that dude is going to last being 34 with bad knees. Might as well get something for him while you can.

29 and Kyle Anderson..

[DPG21920]

Not at all. It screams that they see a future with Kanter/Adams and don't want to spend money on Ibaka as well esp after a down year.

They know they need cheap talent to build that roster and trading a older player like Ibaka for a lottery pick is the way.

Yeah it does. It also screams that OKC are cheap bastards and will continue to dilute their roster.

[Keepin' it real]

Even though Ibaka seems to make every shot he takes when he plays the Spurs, I don't think he's "all that." And apparently neither does OKC. Still, surprising to see this.

And all that is well and good, but how does trading Ibaka affect their pitch to Durant?

Abaka

No he isn't.. .he is 27

[jermaine]

Oooooh would i love ole Serge on the Spurs beside LMA!!!

[dabom]

I'm glad this rumor is out now. KD will have more incentive to leave.

[NASpurs]

No he isn't.. .he is 27

Yeah I'm exaggerating obviously, but everyone knows he's much older than what his age is being reported as. Same shit as Thom Maker and Mutombo back in the day.

[RD2191]

No he isn't.. .he is 27
But he's african. Their years count double in america. He's actually 54.

[TheGoldStandard]

Yeah I'm exaggerating obviously, but everyone knows he's much older than what his age is being reported as.

He's probably like 32

[NASpurs]

He's probably like 32

:lol seems my exaggeration might be closer to his real age than what people actually say he is.

[Nathan89]

Besides just money it's easy to move on from Ibaka. They have two bigs to play against big lineups. Durant will be playing at the 4 spot vs their biggest threat on defense. Roberson was pretty effective on pick n rolls as well as a 4 on offense.

[Hoops Czar]

He's probably like 32

Don't all non-citizens working in the U.S. need a valid social security number? It would be pretty hard to forge one of those without somebody finding out pretty quickly.

I thought Chicago already said they wouldn't trade Butler unless if it was for another upcoming young player like Wiggins? Or it could just be OKC putting it out there to make it look like they trying to improve for KD with inquiry of Butler.

[BatManu20]

746070678231621632

[tmtcsc]

Oooooh would i love ole Serge on the Spurs beside LMA!!!

? They would be beside each other on the 3 pt line most likely. Spurs need someone who can play D and rebound. That's not Ibaka. He likes them 3 point shots. Maybe GS will take him.

[Mr. Body]

Huh. I see shopping Ibaka as hurting in keeping KD. I don't see them getting adequate value for him in return.

[Emperor]

Damn if OKC snags Butler and Durant re-signs then we're f'd and so is the rest of the league.

[montgod]

Damn if OKC snags Butler and Durant re-signs then we're f'd and so is the rest of the league.

I just don't see what OKC could give them of equal worth. No way they can get Butler and I don't think Chicago is shopping him unless it's for a player like Wiggins. It's all a front for KD... to show they trying.

[TheGoldStandard]

Damn if OKC snags Butler and Durant re-signs then we're f'd and so is the rest of the league.

They'd have to free up 19 mil to take on his contract an give up something the bulls would covet.. Lol.. Westbrook for Butler?

Butler for Westbrook

Butler for Westbrook

No way... they trade Westbrook.

[Leetonidas]

Butler is overrated as hell imo. I hope OKC trades ibaka because it seems like no matter what he is hitting clutch shots against the spurs. I don't remember him missing many 3s tbh

[look_at_g_shred]

No way... they trade Westbrook.
i think they would if it meant Durant staying

The lineup of Payne, Butler, KD, Kanter, Adams isn't that scary with waiters off the bench.

[Kawhitstorm]

Not at all. It screams that they see a future with Kanter/Adams and don't want to spend money on Ibaka as well esp after a down year.

Ibaka was a MAJOR reason they almost beat the Duds while Anus Cancer was warming the bench.:wakeup

The lineup of Payne, Butler, KD, Kanter, Adams isn't that scary with waiters off the bench.
I know I read somewhere about Durant talking about his FA...he said that the money didn't matter it was about the type of people he was going to be around everyday. Maybe he was talking about Westbrook..

[montgod]

The lineup of Payne, Butler, KD, Kanter, Adams isn't that scary with waiters off the bench.

I agree, but there is something to be said about playing within the construct of the offense and what you are trying to accomplish. Westbrook does do his own thing and usually at the wrong times. Butler is definitely not a better player than Westbrook, but he boasts some great numbers especially with his assists. In saying all that, I still can't belive Durant would not want to continue playing with Westbrook till it happens. OKC better be consulting with him constantly cause they already were burnt when they traded Harden away.

I get what you're saying but my primary thought process is how San Antonio would match up with that lineup.. Kawhi and Green match up more favorably with Butler and KD.

Ugh... 2 years away from coming over.

[SAGirl]

And all that is well and good, but how does trading Ibaka affect their pitch to Durant? I don't know truly. Definitely they need updates in their backcourt and wings I believe. The only guard they could trust is Waiters and he's :bang . The talent, athleticism and ability to score is there but he makes bad decisions and they already have Westbrook for that. :lol But Cameron Payne showed flashes in the regular season and he's very, very young too, so maybe they give him a second season b4 looking at guards. They also need wing help as Roberson was terrific for them defensively but only had about 1 or 2 good shooting games and they were against the Spurs bc no one was guarding him, he was left wide open (was it Tony on him?):lol

[houston spurs fan]

Why? I said this in another thread, but there are questions about Ibaka and Biyombo's age. Being born in the Sudan or the Congo isn't like being born into a country like America where there are stringent laws about reporting population. Maker relocated to Australia when he was 5, or supposedly 5, to escape civil war. That is the first documentation of his age. He probably lived a portion of his life thinking he is younger than he actually is. It's not like he was thinking he was going to play in the NBA when he escaped war torn Sudan.
Thanks a bunch for sharing the links to the Ibaka documentary from Grantland. Obviously don't like OKC, but how can you not respect a guy who at age 11 was sleeping in cars or on the streets of the Congo. His rise to the NBA is almost like a far fetched movie. I gained a lot of respect for him from that piece, unbelievable determination and grit.

[SAGirl]

Besides just money it's easy to move on from Ibaka. They have two bigs to play against big lineups. Durant will be playing at the 4 spot vs their biggest threat on defense. Roberson was pretty effective on pick n rolls as well as a 4 on offense.
And Adams is the big man they will want to retain. He's become their defensive anchor so Ibaka is not as needed. I think he's also going to be a FA. Going back to Durant. It affects their pitch bc they are already making a choice on whom they are going to keep in 16-17 offseason to make the pitch to Durant on how the team will look then and who they will aim to retain.

[jermaine]

746081683036770304

I like tbat dude... watching his videos.... He seems better on the offensive side of the ball than Green

[TD 21]

With their affinity for international players and the bevy of them projected to be available at 29, going that route obviously can't be ruled out, but this is one of those rare years where I think finding immediate help, at a position of need, trumps that.

This team desperately needs help in the back court. It doesn't have to be a pure point; in fact a true combo guard (someone who can legitimately play both spots on both sides of the ball) would probably be best considering Parker isn't going anywhere. It's going to be extremely difficult to fill this void via free agency/trade, so the draft is the best bet.

[Hoops Czar]

It'd be amazing if the Spurs got Denzel Valentine tbh.

Kyle Anderson 2.0

[coachmac87]

And all that is well and good, but how does trading Ibaka affect their pitch to Durant?

OKC wants contracts past next year, they've got to set themselves up on a long term pitch plan. With the rosters and contracts as is they can't sell anything other than.."one more year".

Warriors: Green, Thompson and Curry(not going anywhere) are locked in for 3-4 years

Spurs: Kawhi, LMA are locked in for 3-4 years.

OKC one more year pitch doesn't hold water because both Warriors/Spurs can say same thing if they get Durant..

Durant wants a long term plan and I don't think he will or wants to sign the +1..neither does OKC. So they gotta move Ibaka and get players in return...question is though will those "players" be enough to sweeten their long term pitch??

I don't think it will.

[BatManu20]

[wildbill2u]

Only thing worse than Thon is Qi.

Hey now, 7' centers that play that many minutes per game and shoot 60% on 2s and 3s and 3.2 blks per game don't grow on many family trees. It's not likely we'll get anyone at 29 that will really be of help so why not a front line (in garbage time) of Boban and Qi? Sounds like a great vaudeville team and they'd be fan favorites, playing keep-away from the midgets on the court.

Wait. Didn't the Thunder trade Harden b/c he wanted too much money and they wanted to save space to sign Ibaka. Presti, man, you are losing it.

[BatManu20]

Bleacher Report's Final Mock has us taking Juan Hernangomez @ 29. This is my feeling as well.

They already signed him to that contract..which expires next year.

This rumor has EVERYTHING to do with OKC presenting a long term sales pitch to KD

It's pronounced "Deegay"! as everyone knows, they are speeking French in die Hoodefuqoswarian part of Nevrseahimplay.

[Chinook]

Why? I said this in another thread, but there are questions about Ibaka and Biyombo's age. Being born in the Sudan or the Congo isn't like being born into a country like America where there are stringent laws about reporting population. Maker relocated to Australia when he was 5, or supposedly 5, to escape civil war. That is the first documentation of his age. He probably lived a portion of his life thinking he is younger than he actually is. It's not like he was thinking he was going to play in the NBA when he escaped war torn Sudan.

I'm sure the Reddit thread is easy enough to find, but here's the RealGM thread about it: http://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1434306******=360

Thon is getting massively overrated. He doesn't even look good in highlight vids for god's sake. People are acting like this is the 50s.
Hmmm debatable, but yea I'm starting to think he's too big of a risk. We'll see..

Don't know if I should watch the Vertical stream of the NBA draft or watch ESPN's. I'll probably have both, side by side. :lol

I don't think we have to worry about that, bro. For good or ill I doubt Pop/RC ever trade Parker at this point. He retires a Spur (unless he asks to leave which I doubt).

Hmm... Doesn't seem to be much value perceived in that range of players. I wonder if this year really is as top heavy as they think. Anyway, this would drive down the cost of those picks at least.

Marco on the move again, lol.

This isn't a strong draft class. Danny could probably net a 10-12 draft pick.

That's not going to and shouldn't stop. But yes, I am pretty sure no thread will be safe when the picks do start except maybe the draft thread in the Think Tank. Even when we try to make a rule, it gets accidentally broken all the time.

Ulis, Felder, Barber, Maker, Valentine, I would have a problem with.

Wilbon is a likeable guy and all but just cant pull off coming across as knowledgeable about basketball. Bet he got picked on in high school and stuffed into lockers.
