In a wild draft for the ages, The San Antonio Spurs were rumored to be active on the phones in order to make all types of big moves. Unfortunately we forgot to Dial 1-800-Collect and none of those moves transpired. But that's okay because we ended up having the best possible night for our future.
Why Standing Pat Makes Sense:
We get to keep our stars in DDR and LMA. It's better to lose them in free agency and have them be able to choose the team of their choice. It's not nice being the bad guy and trading them. So for their happiness, it's better if we keep them on for one more year.
As we saw last year we are in a dog fight for the 8th seed with a real shot of getting that 10th seed. That's the area that we want to be going forward. No sense being too good or too bad. Being in the middle in life is a better way to live.
We get to keep our cap flexibility going forward. Wrong was all over this in this year's draft. We now have a lot of cap space to sign more Pau Gasol or D. Carroll like contracts.
Why Dev was the right pick for us:
My man Dejounte was all over us getting Vessal to begin with. He was high on him and really looking forward to have him on our team. This addition means that Bryn Forbes will be starting over a lottery player. Imagine the story line, from an undrafted walk-on to an NBA starter to starting over the highest lottery pick the Spurs have had since Tim Duncan. That's history right there.
But real talk this was a big F-U OLD MAN from Bryan Wrong to Pop. We all know that Pop wanted to re-sign his pet to a multi-year deal and Wrong just gave him the middle finger as he played a draw-4 Uno wild card right in Pop's face and changed it to a color that Pop doesn't have... Red.
Dev's floor is Danny Green and when your floor is a 3 time NBA champ then it's a no brainer for us to take him. He has worked all offseason on fixing his non broken shot and the results look very promising. Obviously this means more positionless basketball for the Spurs with Dev being a versatile defender guarding other team's 2s and 3s. Him, Derrick White, and KJ will be beasts defensively for our bench.
Overall I'm pretty stoked on the pick. It makes moving our guards next year all that much easier. It will help us with depth when DDR leaves and a Murray, Vassell bench unit would be a good one. We could be pretty dangerous in 5 years when we tank and get a top pick.
