Official 2021 Draft Day Thread (Begins at 7PM CST)

[Russ]

I guess everyone saw that coming . . .

[mexicanjunior]

Just stupid...fuck this team...

[rastaspur]

Wow. I wanted primo. But at 12?

[emanueldavidginobili]

LMFAOOOO

[Spurs9]

Lets goooooo!!!!!

[NASpurs]

Are Brian Wrong and RC sober?

[cd98]

ESPN doesn't even know what to say about him. Totally caught off guard.

[ginobilized]

I look forward to the rational discourse that folllows this pick

[mo7888]

I guess I should listen to my wife more often... I asked her earlier today what the odds were that I'd be disappointed with the Spurs tonight....she said...99.9%

[itzsoweezee]

Wtf. Absolute retards running this franchise.

[Robz4000]

:lmao where are the PATFO slurpers right now?!

[InRareForm]

We could have done this with a 2nd round pick

[dbestpro]

The could have got this guy on the second round. Maybe even signed him as a free agent. This is worse than the Alferedrick Hughes pick. Of course this is what we expected from a team whose coach and front office has lost their minds.

[BackHome]

Mother Fucker mother fucker mother fucker mother fucker

[daslicer]

Wow another guard. Just what this team needed since they already have 10 guys who are 6'5 or shorter. My expectations were very low all I wanted was one of the front court positions to be drafted and this front office still failed to do it.

[Uriel]

WHAT THE FUCK.

[John B]

I'm out... fuck the Spurs

[vy65]

lol we drafted a fucking middle schooler

https://assets-global.website-files.com/5d3752ecc5e950deedb7ab2b/5fc7214d12560ed61b249d09_josh-primo.jpg

[chunticakes]

I hate this team :lol

[dbestpro]

The only way this makes any sense is if he was drafted to be traded.

[BacktoBasics]

I’m gonna go punch a baby

[Biggems]

Is this the Alfredrick Hughes of the 21st Century?

Ridiculous.

wasn't Hughes a highly touted prospect that year, that simply busted in epic fashion?

I have never even heard of Josh Cousin. I knew of that other Bama kid.

[InRareForm]

If spurs had a #2 pick they would choose some random fool because they like to be adventurous with their picks. I want to barf

[Spurs Homer]

Yup
Alfrederick Hughes part two

[pad300]

Could have drafted Sengun.

Didn't.

Morons

[dbestpro]

This kid is going to be hated way more than Bryn Forbes ever was.

[Rocalcio]

That’s clearly the biggest surprise so far in this draft. I believe he will be traded so I guess that’s a strategic move. If not, well I trust the Spurs with their choices, but the backcourt is definitely overloaded…

[ducks]

Strange pick

[pad300]

Seriously, you could draft Begarin in the 2nd and have at least as good odds of getting an nba player.

[TimDunkem]

Been saying it for 5 years now...This FO is garbage.

[RC_Drunkford]

Wright and RC were drinking a lot of Hennessy tonight. That's my only explanation. Even if he turns out to be a great player, how do you draft a 2nd round pick with the 12th? For what? Like you could've traded back if that was the case or aquired a higher 2nd round pick. This FO is dumber than I thought and I think they top of the line dumb

[NASpurs]

Now I actually wish we would had drafted Kispert :lmao

[Guard 5]

What is Wright thinking with this pick. A second rounder at 12.

[duncan2k5]

This has Pop written all over it... He always does something that's extremely unconventional so that if it works out, he looks like a genius... It has yet to work out

[Twisted_Dawg]

For you younger guys that didn' live through the Spur dark ages from mid 80s to late 90s with cluless ownership and incompetent front office moves, and losing......welcome to the nightmare.

[Mugen]

:lol Anybody that still defends this FO.

[baseline bum]

wasn't Hughes a highly touted prospect that year, that simply busted in epic fashion?

I have never even heard of Josh Cousin. I knew of that other Bama kid.

Rick Barry said someone must have spiked the nachos in San Antonio when they picked Alfredrik the Great, so seems like he was expected to bust.

[Budkin]

WRIGHT BABY!

[LeBowen]

Why not trade down? Even if this kid is good, noone else was taking him before late first round, could've had another pick, smh. And this has to mean there are trades to be made, right? Fifth guard on the roster without Patty and Keldon is the only wing. But as per usual, they'll just send him to Austin and act as if nothing happened.

[rankingtear]

John B salivating with Primo's big hands.

[RC_Drunkford]

we got our new Bryn Forbes!!!

Oklahoma City is trading the 16th pick to Houston, source tells ESPN.

[baseline bum]

Let's look at the bright side: Cousin can't be as disappointing as Vassell was, could he?

[duncan2k5]

And the thing is he won't touch NBA playing time his first year... Maybe not even his second

[slick'81]

He wont even see the floor in his rookie year. Just what pop and co. Want

[Mugen]

Me: "Anybody but Kispert"

:bobo

[Kurgan]

Spurs front office got so used to drafting in the 25 to 30 range during the Duncan era that they never learned how to scout or draft lottery talent. Embarrassing to waste a 12th pick when they could easily trade down 15 spots for this scrub.

[Michael Jordan.]

Damn love that pick. Now 4 first round picks

[mo7888]

Did timvp drink bleach? Where you at man?

[Dancelot]

Did H‑E‑B call in this pick so they could market him with their Primo Picks they’ve been pushing?

[Biggems]

Kispert's GF is a fine tall drink of water

[ducks]

Hell he is already better then mills

[ace3g]

There goes my pick, Murphy III.

[Mnky]

Man, GSW has Kuminga, Moody, and Wiseman 20 yr Old and younger. Their rebuild looks better than 90% of the NBA obviously including the spurs and they're still contending for a championship in the process.

My goodness, they had a great draft.

[Biggems]

Rick Barry said someone must have spiked the nachos in San Antonio when they picked Alfredrik the Great, so seems like he was expected to bust.

just think, we could have had a Joe Dumars/Alvin Robertson backcourt.....just sick

[objective]

Leave it to the Rockets, who knew Scola was damn good while the Spurs were complete idiots, to get Sengun.

[timvp]

-A scout who is employed by an agent says he's 100% convinced Quentin Grimes would be taken at 41 if he's still on the board. He expects him to be gone by then but they see the Spurs as his safety net. Grimes' agent is Drew Eubanks' agent ... so there's a little bit of a connection there.

-Similar talk of the Spurs being the safety net for Ayo Dosunmu and Josh Primo -- but, as far as I can tell, that's more speculative in nature.

:lol :cry :lol

None of those guys are good enough for the Spurs - they don't have the high character that Primo has :lol

Spurs help warriors and ro kets at the bottom of the draft lottery

[objective]

wasn't Hughes a highly touted prospect that year, that simply busted in epic fashion?

I have never even heard of Josh Cousin. I knew of that other Bama kid.

No, Hughes was a nobody.

The legend from some EN article was that during that draft, the guys they wanted were gone and the Spurs war-room was stumped. Some scout said, "What about Alfredrick Hughes?"

The rest of the room was like, "Who?"

"He scored 26 at Loyola Chicago" and then the scout showed them the stats from a newspaper or magazine.

So they took him. Nobody had seen him play, and he wasn't going to be on TV at Loyola Chicago, which isn't even Loyola Marymount.

[Russ]

Spurs front office got so used to drafting in the 25 to 30 range during the Duncan era that they never learned how to scout or draft lottery talent.

That exact thought occurred to me . . .

[JuneJive]

Jalen Johnson to the Hawks.

Makes getting Collins a bit more attainable.

[timvp]

Did timvp drink bleach? Where you at man?

*puts down cup of bleach*

Welp, I guess the Spurs must have really liked him.

[Kurgan]

Spurs could have traded down for the Knicks two picks but Pop/RC/Wright are all still butthurt about the Knicks taking a dump over them with the Morris fiasco

[cd98]

Whoa boy how do the Spurs not get an F for this draft pick. Even if the guy turns out, you could have traded down and got him plus another asset.

The good news is that DDR is gone and if we replace him with Primo, even though the Spurs will try like hell to get to the play in game, they will not make it and will be in the lottery. We just have to wait another year for that.

[baseline bum]

:lol :cry :lol

So a Brian Wrong pick? Or do you think RC had a stroke?

[ismael-robert]

Lol all yall wasting ur time dragging that draft thread on n on with your "analysis "

[Mnky]

None of those guys are good enough for the Spurs - they don't have the high character that Primo has :lol

Moody read a poem about making it out the hood tho :cry

I really hope some trades are coming, or I just don't know how to justify this direction. Kid looks like he could be the best shooter in the draft tbh, and as others have mentioned looks like he's just getting to high school too. So quite a bit of potential tbh, and I guess swinging for the fences is a feasible play in rebuilding.

I want to see their plans for next season before I pass judgment.

Would have loved to get kuminga and Moody. Maybe gsw want ddr, mills, Rudy gay and or a salary dump for one of em.

Eh... dunno. Wiseman and Kuminga have high bust capability. Moody has a significant ceiling. Honestly with such high picks I think they could have done much, much better.

[baseline bum]

*puts down cup of bleach*

Welp, I guess the Spurs must have really liked him.

Same FO that liked Samanic and Vassell tho

[LCM]

Duarte, Moody, Kispert, and Sengun ... all of these players are picked after Primo ... if this kid is not in a trade package or is the replacement for a player on this roster that got traded .... THERE NEEDS TO BE A TRADE!!!

Kia Jones to Charlotte ... Hornets replace Monk with Bouknight, Zeller with Plumlee, and Biyombo with KIA JONES at 19!!! Melo going to be lobbing to EVERYONE on that team!! Good grief what a night ... and it's not even over ...

[Mnky]

The hornets quietly having a great draft too. Talk about building around your star. Lamelo now has bridges, bouk, and kai to run with. That's going to be so fun to watch. Man, happy for the Hornets. Love to see organizations break out of the ashes.

[Mr. Body]

Predictably, Kai Jones and Jalen Johnson are sinking like stones.

[RC_Drunkford]

:lol people here hoping for a trade :lmao stop being delusional

I just think DDR to Warriors is like a plan C for them. I like Beal and Siahkam and like their plan A. Simmons appears unattainable due to Sixers demands. Wiseman could also be an option for the Spurs. Poeltl for Wiseman. DDR for Wiggins.

Spurs will break out too in 2028 when Primo enters his prime

[HankChinaski]

I agree with the majority good potential but a terrible waste of lottery pick value.

Why couldn't they trade down or acquire future picks/assets?

It's a real head scratcher an disappointing use of the #12.

Hopefully there is some sort of trade an free agency move in play that makes some sort of sense but with this FOs history. Outlook is grim.

[baseline bum]

:lol people here hoping for a trade :lmao stop being delusional

I wouldn't put it past them to trade for Kuzma still.

[Mnky]

Eh... dunno. Wiseman and Kuminga have high bust capability. Moody has a significant ceiling. Honestly with such high picks I think they could have done much, much better.

They're not busts IMO. Wiseman is a nba player. Maybe not a star, but a player. Kuminga ran the gleague with ease. He's an NBA player. Maybe not a star, but a player. Moody is a very safe pick. Can play defense and had star potential as well. He faded games but also took over games.

Kuminga and Wiseman could be stars, but their floor is already better than quite a few. I think they're doing great with what they have. No pick is assured but if one or two of those hit, they're well ahead of other organizations. Curry and klay ain't going anywhere anytime soon. They have plenty of time to develop those guys or flip them.

Kuminga is like 21-22 year old at minimum.

Moody is a nice prospect.

Wiseman is a failed pick. Low basketball IQ, low ceiling young prospect.

[cd98]

So is this them trying to do their George Hill thing, except in the lottery. I get it when you are picking 28, but 12?

[Mnky]

Knicks were an option to trade down but our FO is still bitter about the Morris situation. Probably blacklisted NY

[RC_Drunkford]

if you think that the Hawks were offering #20 and Cam Reddish to trade up this is even dumber

[Michael Jordan.]

Two straight picks lotta talent on the board

[slick'81]

if you think that the Hawks were offering #20 and Cam Reddish to trade up this is even dumber


Im sure spurs were fielding calls but they really liked the players blah blah blah

You're really stretching it. It's a horrible sign that the Warriors are already trying to get rid of Wiseman. He's clueless out there, doesn't even understand the game at a college level (small surprise, leaving college). Kuminga looks like Jabari Parker to me. The upside of these players is highly exaggerated. They're going to drive Kerr crazy.

He is a rotational big right now nothing more. He has plenty of potential at 20 tho.

[Kurgan]

Spurs are predictably the worst in their division as far as talent goes. The sniffers retort all summer was "We may not have a franchise player like the Mavs, Pelicans, or Grizzlies but at least we're better than the Rockets". Even that's not true anymore.

The good news is that this means they’ve finally embraced a hard rebuild. They’re gonna have a high lottery pick next year which they’ll use….. on the consensus best PG in the draft.

[BackHome]

Well at least we all know that the Spurs are definitely in Tank Mode next year.

[james evans]

I wanted Dayron Sharpe. Center that can hit 3s and is athletic. We don't have that

[Russ]

The Spurs may still be able to salvage this night by getting Juhann Begarin at #41.

I'll continue to hope.

I like Vassell more than Halliburton who would have been just as hamstrung without minutes by Pop, so I can give him Vassell, but that was an obvious pick

He’s a guard right? The future will be bright then, if ever.

Getting disrespected by your own players in public

way to go

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

DRob and Duncan were no brainers. They admit they basically rolled the dice on Manu.

And no, this isn't the same front office. Presti's up in OKC doing work while Pop asks Brian Wrong to help him change his diaper.

[Kurgan]

Same one that drafted David Robinson
Duncan manu Parker also

lol at giving them credit for Duncan and Robinson. Those were no brainer picks that every GM would make at #1.

[Russ]

He’s [Juhann Begarin] a guard right? The future will be bright then, if ever.

BPA -- no discernable plan beyond that at this point.

[objective]

Spurs don't even deserve credit for tanking for Duncan because they didn't even tank!

The crap media has been pushing the narrative for decades that the Spurs tanked when they didn't. If they had, they would have cut or bought out their #1 scorer that year, Dominique Wilkins. But they didn't. Hell, he even played 35 minutes in game 82, a 4 point loss.

[barakz21]

BPA -- no discernable plan beyond that at this point.

Full on microball. Unless they already have a trade in place for either DJ or White in place that they’re keeping on the down low. Seriously doubt it though. Even with 50mills gone, there’s logistically no way anyone with common sense would draft another PG, when they already have 3 rotation PGs.

[Chomag]

So who will be our next midget pick in the second?

[Degoat]

Fingers crossed for Jeremiah Robinson earl, JT Thor, or Isaiah Todd at 41

[HankChinaski]

So who will be our next midget pick in the second?

A pg that is not signed and sent to Austin

Just kidding, but....

[Mr. Body]

A wing or a big.

Wieskamp or Petrusev, that sort of player.

[SPURt]

Houston has had a great draft, ugh

[YoungbuckMurray]

Fingers crossed for Jeremiah Robinson earl, JT Thor, or Isaiah Todd at 41
2 of 3 already off the board LOL

Robinson-Earl to Knicks. That's a nice pick for them. Sort of makes up for Toppin.

Wait, guess he went to Thunder.

Toppin was loved by their crazy fans on draft night. Is his career likely done?

I think he has a role in the NBA, but he's limited and was a stretch last year.

[Russ]

Toppin was loved by their crazy fans on draft night. Is his career likely done?

Toppin will do just fine in the NBA, he'll have a really nice career. Probably a borderline (at least) All Star.

[Mr. Body]

There are a number of interesting players still on the board. I think the Spurs have some nice choices with the 41. Of course they could do something bizarre.

I'm just thinking of what bizarre thing they could do. Like draft a hockey player or something.

[DPG21920]

Remember when I said everyone except maybe HOU in our division was ahead of the Spurs either in having a young franchise player to build around or ability to make the playoffs (or both in case of Dallas)?

Now HOU is ahead…Spurs need this FA to lay the foundation back to being a team with a future to be excited about.

[timvp]

Jared Butler at 41? Let's do it. Blair drop v. 2.0.

[dbestpro]

I'm just gonna pretend that the Spurs had their first round pick taken away by the NBA for continuous stuipditiy. Now, which 5 guys want to play in the under 6'7" league.

[Mr. Body]

I dunno. The Rockets will likely still suck next year and they have to see if these parts fit together. They still have a cheapo-stinko owner, but they did really well tonight.

[Kurik]

Jared Butler at 41? Let's do it. Blair drop v. 2.0. I’d take Butler, Cooper, or McBride at this point and trade Murray.

[Atl Spur]

Jericho Simms

[rastaspur]

Good pick by the pelicans in drafting herb jones. Was hoping he fell to 41

[Mr. Body]

Does Butler go to Sacto or Utah? Would the Spurs take so many guards?

[Mugen]

I wouldn't be surprised if the Spurs picked Josh Primo again tbh

[The Truth #6]

That Primo pick. It doesn't seem like a pick Pop would like if he's coming back and going for his record and the playoffs and all that. Not saying picking Primo guarantees Pop is gone, but it does make me wonder.

[Kurik]

Take Cooper or Butler, just get talent and be bad next year please.

[Degoat]

If the spurs go with another guard man lmao I mean cooper and butler are nice but geez someone has to be traded right!?

[SPURt]

Bleacher Report gave the Spurs a D as their first round grade. It was the lowest grade of them all.

[timvp]

Jared Butler picked at 40 :lmao :cry

[mo7888]

If the spurs go with another guard man lmao I mean cooper and butler are nice but geez someone has to be traded right!?

Yup...just take Cooper and trade away DJ for future pics and let's get this tank going since it looks like it tbe direction we've decided to take

[Degoat]

Bet spurs go with that Vrenz guy, I hope we go cooper tho

[objective]

That Primo pick. It doesn't seem like a pick Pop would like if he's coming back and going for his record and the playoffs and all that. Not saying picking Primo guarantees Pop is gone, but it does make me wonder.

I think the opposite. Pop loves showing rookies who's boss and helping them get over themselves. If the pick was ready to play at a position where minutes were available, Pop would have been unhappy.

[Kurgan]

Spurs drafted this guy with their 2nd rounder...lol

yes, we have our Cup of Joe

[Russ]

Joe wisekap!

Poor man's Kispert?

[Cardinal]

Wieskamp! At least we got who I wanted in the second round

[RC_Drunkford]

Yesss, another guard. The San Antonio Guards!!!! Wieskamp is the 2nd round pick a lot of y'all wanted though, I think that's a solid one

[Rito3d30]

So can he be the Spurs Hamilton?:toast

[Biggems]

Richard "I'm not gonna fall for the banana in the tailpipe" Jefferson

[timvp]

Joe Wieskamp is a good second round pick. Wieskamp at 41 could go down as better value than Kispert at 12 pretty easily.

Great shooter. Tested well athletically. Now he just needs to translate that athleticism to playing basketball.

[Biggems]

We are taking small ball to a whole new level

[mo7888]

At least this is a solid 2nd round pick....

[Dex]

Another fucking guard?

I’m done.

Good night.

[Mr. Body]

Value Pack Kispert

[Darius Bieber]

Lol Wiescamp… not just saying that cuz he’s an Iowa guy… but wow. Fucking wow. Horrible pick.

[Biggems]

we could have had Sengun/Kai and Wieskamp......DAMMIT

[SpurPadre]

Wieskamp is at least more athletic than all the other white boys many Spurs fans badly wanted with our first pick. I'm gonna trust the process but clearly, this isn't how I wanted the draft to go down. We'll see what happens and gotta root for these guys to pan out.

[PhantomDashCam]

Were the Spurs aware the College season took place this year? Or did they do all their scouting at the NBA combine?
Like the Wieskamp pick btw but man when the Spurs see a weakness in the roster, they double down.

[Kurgan]

Lol Wiescamp… not just saying that cuz he’s an Iowa guy… but wow. Fucking wow. Horrible pick.

He's a white scrub that will be out of the league soon. Our 2nd rounders never pan out anyway - nothing to get worked up about. Problem is we drafted someone with similar talent to Joe with the 12th pick.

[GAustex]

Jericho Simms
Sims is a basket case
He can jump but is dumb

[Chomag]

After this the NBA needs to put a limit on how many guards a team can have lol

[8sy21vd]

The NBA needs to step in and take control of the Spurs’ organization. This Brian Wrong fella must be a Laker operative hellbent on sabotage. Nobody could be this bad at their job.

[Biggems]

I would have been happy with the kid from Pepperdine in the 2nd.

[NASpurs]

Gotta love having sixty guards while only like two of them can shoot worth a shit.

[R. DeMurre]

I wouldn't be surprised if the Spurs picked Josh Primo again tbh

Someone asked Buford a year or two ago about the roster being full of too many guards and he said something like "That's a good problem to have"

[pad300]

Weiskamp may be better than Primo...

http://www.tankathon.com/players/compare?players=joshua-primo--joe-wieskamp

Seriously, Wieskamp could get 3ed string minutes at the 2 & 3 next season, and wouldn't look out of place. Primo is going to be in the G-League for 2 years.

Primo is a polished young man, it’s not very hard to tell. I’ll trust Patfo on this one vs this board every time.

Well I'm getting some sleep. Looking forward to the Timvp draft write up and what he takes from the draft as to where the spurs org. is moving towards Free Agency and based on rumblings whether Pop is coming back.

The case to stay Vs. The case to leave:

https://twitter.com/ProCityHoops/status/1420917995308785666?s=20

https://www.prospectiveinsight.com/post/pre-drafting


Every year there are players ranked in the 50-80 range that return to school to a refrain “they could be a lottery pick next year” or “we project them in the 20s for the next year’s draft.”

Many players aren’t fundamentally different players with a year of additional development in college. Most aren’t in drastically different circumstances — there is just a higher comfort level with what the player is and more data on their resume. I’ve struggled to understand why this made sense for teams to let these players return. If a front office believed a player could/would bloom into a lottery prospect in 365 and all it takes is a pick in the 20s or 30s or 40s, a contract and the promise to invest in them organizationally as though they were a lottery prospect — the front office should do everything possible to get that player now.

Even if the player doesn’t produce immediately, the team will have spent a year developing a prospect with NBA resources in an NBA system under NBA rules, resulting in potentially higher development pathway and value outstripping the proposition the player would have had by returning to college. We are calling this idea “pre-drafting” a player, which is to say, drafting a player a year before their breakout season to get a player more talented than what the historical outcomes of a draft slot indicate. It would allow for lottery talents to be selected later, in exchange for accepting additional risks of potential busts.

PD Web, who coincidentally wrote the article (and again was ref. Pre-drafting in the 20-30s, not the Lottery), tweeted this about Primo though:

[HankChinaski]

In terms of Primo in San Antonio. He will have the best opportunity to expand his skills with the spurs development staff. A year in G league working on the necessary aspects of his game further with an NBA Staff. Look at the player again in 2022 summer and compare to draft prospects and see if the decision isn't as sour of a pill. Regardless Best scenerio for Josh Primo overall.

For fans of the team. Frustrating after a couple seasons of meh play and seeing this pick. Fans were hoping for a pick that could get minutes right away and get a player with developmental needs with promise.

I'm not so annoyed about the pick after a nights rest. Mostly because I am not running the organization and don't have to make those decisions. I just get to sit back and watch and criticize other people's decision. Just not as vocally as some.

[Ocotillo]

I am not happy with pick. I have no idea, the kid may develop into a solid rotation player but it is clear Cedar Park fans will be cheering for him for at least one year, if not two.

I am happy with the second pick for what it is and where he was drafted.

Having said that, I did not post during the draft because I was disgusted with the pick and the website was struggling with the volume of traffic. I don't have time to read this whole thread to see if anyone else commented on this but, my God was that a horrible TV show last night? I got home a bit late and missed the start and other than Jalen Rose, I don't know who the hosts were but they were worthless.

Do we get to see clips or commentary about the picks? No, we have celebrities welcoming these little prima donnas to the NBA. You got the kid from Blackish running around eating up air time with some stupid shit. Say what you want about ESPN but at least they had Jay Bilas or Fran Fraschella talking about the draft picks. Do we really care what type of food they like to eat and who their favorite music artist is?

I will say if you are going to be bashing the primo pick please specify if you are a : sengun sicko, moody misfit, kispert krew, or do you have some speculative trade down agreement? We need to keep track! no "i am going to take the field, there will be at least one player who putrpeforms primo for at lest one year"

Another thing about the ABC coverage. Jalen Rose went on to say Indiana was going to love Primo and with Rick Carlisle, he would know how to fit this kid in. Indiana was on the clock and he got mixed up. For a minute he even had me thinking, holy crap, who did we take? Did I miss it? But he later admitted he got them mixed up.

[The Truth #6]

Today I listened to the Ringer Podcast they did live during the draft with BS and KOC. They said NY was actively shopping 19 and 21, and whoever had the 14 pick turned them down because they wanted more. Sounds random, but that’s when whatever shred of confidence I had left with the FO vanished. Meaning, we could have traded 12 for 19 and 21. We could have gotten Primo at 19 (at least according to anyone not delusional) AND had another pick. Jesus Christ. What a disaster upon disaster.

I look at Houston who killed it last night in the draft. Green, Garuba, Sengun and another player.

[Sugus]

:lol gonna quote this for future reference when they bring him back for another $50mils.

Right back at 'ya, my guy. Absolutely no chance Mills is brought back again at anywhere near $50M, doomers on this board are off their rockers with this. The most likely case for Patty to come back would be DeMar and Rudy leaving, and Patty getting a small deal as the lone vet presence on the team - but judging by Patty's still competitive level of play, especially with his NT, contrasted with the Spurs' probable tank outlook for next season, I really doubt Patty wants to just be the vet presence on a bottom-feeder. I don't see much mutual interest for him to stay tbh, but we'll see.

I read yesterday that some teams with mid-10's picks (Indiana I think?) were high on Primo after his combine, and looking to snag him. IDK how much weight that report holds, and I still don't really like the pick, but I can see it if they thought he wouldn't be there at 19. At this point, we can only hope this Primo Pasta guy develops into an All-Star guy....

I need some highlights to get me sold on him tbh, he's a blank slate to me so far :lol

I can definitely see Indiana wanting Primo, the Spurs snaking him, and then taking Duarte.

[The Truth #6]

Hopefully that’s a trade down scenario for multiple picks. I was thinking earlier about Murphy and Garuba for the 19 and 21 picks if somehow possible.

Turns out it could have been Primo and Garuba at 19 and 21. Or if not Primo, then another guard that they were high on whom no one else care about, their other sure fire pick, Ayo Masunmo, who was drafted at #38. This was the other guy that they couldn't let get past 12. Of course, speculation. But Ayo and Primo were both rumored to be high on the Spurs list by Woj and I think even Timvp, and obviously Primo turned out to be true. Anyway, just pissing in the kool aid.

They said NY was actively shopping 19 and 21, and whoever had the 14 pick turned them down because they wanted more. Sounds random, but that’s when whatever shred of confidence I had left with the FO vanished. Meaning, we could have traded 12 for 19 and 21. We could have gotten Primo at 19 (at least according to anyone not delusional) AND had another pick. Jesus Christ. What a disaster upon disaster.

I look at Houston who killed it last night in the draft. Green, Garuba, Sengun and another player.

It's looking like Primo would have been gone by 19.

I will say if you are going to be bashing the primo pick please specify if you are a : sengun sicko, moody misfit, kispert krew, or do you have some speculative trade down agreement? We need to keep track! no "i am going to take the field, there will be at least one player who putrpeforms primo for at lest one year"

Is this reach worse than the legendary bruno cabalo reach? IMHO no, but it's close.

Sengun Sicko here and proud of it.

Not many Spurs tidbits this season. They were smokescreening a lot last season but this year it's back to silence.

-An international scout who a certain person in the Spurs front office goes to for opinions was asked a lot of questions regarding Giddey. But supposedly the questions weren't positive in nature. For example, he was asked to give his reasoning why Giddey isn't the next Zarko Paspalj. For those who don't know, Paspalj was a Euro prospect handpicked by Pop who was a 6-foot-9 perimeter player that was ultra skilled but turned out to just be too poor of an athlete to stick in the NBA.

-Same international scout wasn't asked at all about Sengun. That's not necessarily a negative but a little bit odd. When I asked him about Sengun, he was mostly positive about him but worries that his Turkey numbers were juiced because the team he's on is broke so they wanted to ensure they cash in on his contract buyout.

-A scout who is employed by an agent says he's 100% convinced Quentin Grimes would be taken at 41 if he's still on the board. He expects him to be gone by then but they see the Spurs as his safety net. Grimes' agent is Drew Eubanks' agent ... so there's a little bit of a connection there.

-Similar talk of the Spurs being the safety net for Ayo Dosunmu and Josh Primo -- but, as far as I can tell, that's more speculative in nature.

-Don't be surprised if their main second round targets are gone that the Spurs take AJ Lawson at 41 if he and his agent agree to sign a two-way deal. If he says no, the next target would be Aaron Wiggins.

Unfortunately, that's all I got. Last year, there were some names I knew weren't in the mix ... but this year I don't even know that.

Nice find! Great safety net!
