**The Official 2025 NBA Draft Day Thread**

[RC_Drunkford]

A player mocked at #20 falls to the Spurs #38, but they would rather have

[Dex]

Also, still bugs me that they announce it and give him a Spurs cap even though he knows he is already traded.

[scottspurs]

I liked Kam Jones until he measured at the Combine

[Blizzardwizard]

we don't need a center! we need cash! sending our scouts to watch juan nunez in barcelona next year won't be cheap!

[spurraider21]

we are going to have to find several separate buyeres for our 4 SRPs next season. these include:

- least favorable of OKC/Dallas/Philly

- Our SRP with swap rights attached to the least favorable of Indiana/Miami

- less favorable of NOP/Portland

- Utah SRP

[objective]

Spurs to Wemby:. "Fuck your feelings, clown. Mime. Le drop dead."

[ace3g]

https://x.com/GoodmanHoops/status/1938401972291616997

[Knoxxx]

Someday we gonna cash in a dozen SRPs for the next LeBron James or something just wait!

[CGD]

Maybe Raynaud has told teams don’t draft me I want a 2 way 😂

Maybe he sucks?

[Trill Clinton]

Yall know we can get a big in FA, right? The hand wringing over a 2nd rounder who won't be on the active roster is crazy.

[Darkwaters]

Other than the fact that Wemby is buddies with Reynaud, did the Spurs ever show any actual interest in him?

At this point I'd grab him and stick him on a 2-way.

[mystargtr34]

Monica McNutt is shockingly bad.

[Knoxxx]

We need to realize part of what we are after here is instant gratification which life often denies in favor of patience.

[scottspurs]

I was going to stop watching after 38 but now I’m curious where Raynaud goes. lol I’m still old enough to remember when I wrote an entire article connecting him to the Spurs at 14 lmao

[mystargtr34]

Maybe he sucks?

That is definitely a likely possibility.

[SpursGenius]

so if we just waited before trading #38, instead of inexplicably dealing it before the draft, we could have just package our shittiest 2026 SRP to move up 1-2 spots and land a center
That would require brains. Our front office is stupid as fuck anything they have gotten Wemby, Castle, Harper Bryant just fell in their lap. They are total dum fucks.

[RC_Drunkford]

I guess there's still hope he goes undrafted, but I highly doubt it. Maybe he ends up in OKC.

[Ariel]

TBH my top targets were Fleming, Kalkbrenner and Penda, I'd take Raynaud but it was the first three I was most interested in, all of those were a lot more expensive, so I don't have a problem with the Spurs trading out. At this point if they want anyone it's a matter of contract more than having a pick, they'll get whoever they want as long as they're willing to pay him.

[Darkwaters]

Yall know we can get a big in FA, right? The hand wringing over a 2nd rounder who won't be on the active roster is crazy.

Overreactions are what Spurstalk specializes in.

They just took Sorber and have no roster spots, they may be able to create some but at a certain point they have to stop hoarding talent... or so you'd think :lol

[spurraider21]

Yall know we can get a big in FA, right? The hand wringing over a 2nd rounder who won't be on the active roster is crazy.
the hand wringing is over a team that refuses to treat SRPs as a resource to improve the team

the pacers just made a finals run with multiple guys who were SRPs or UDFAs in their rotation

[Ariel]

ace, can you please not spoil FFS :lol

[Degoat]

Maybe just maybe… the spurs knew they could get a solid future SAC pick + money… and trade some shitty 2nds they have for Raynaud… it’s doubtful tho

[ace3g]

ace, can you please not spoil FFS :lol

Zero Dark Thirty mode.

[Light]

According to ST, Reynaud is the only French player Wemby knows, so if we don't draft him, Wemby's gonna demand a trade.

[Ariel]

Maybe just maybe… the spurs new they could get a solid future SAC pick + money… and trade some shitty 2nds they have for Raynaud… it’s doubtful tho
Lakers got 36 for a mid second rounder and cash, you can land a pick for scraps right now.

[Darkwaters]

I doubt Reynaud goes to Phoenix. They traded for a Center in January, traded for another one yesterday and then drafted Maluach. They also drafted PF Rasheer Fleming tonight.

[Mugen]

Lakers should trade back in and get Raynaud. Couldn’t hurt to get Wembys best friend when they inevitably pursue him tbh

[jeebus]

I think it's high time to go full Rob Dillingham on this Reynaud kid, make a thread about him, and get that thing to 1000 posts.

[onechance87]

no way he goes past bulls or bucks in the next few picks

he worked out for the Spurs

[Darkwaters]

They could trade Sacto back their 2030 pick, keep the cash, and grab Reynaud.

They get Reynaud and the cash? 4D chess.

[spurraider21]

rip

1938405859186369011

[cd98]

Damn how did Harper and Bryant not just be plenty enough?

[benefactor]

They never wanted him. They worked him out so they must not have been that impressed

[ninjaskrzypek]

He’s a King

[jeebus]

:cry Wemby to the Kings in a couple years :cry

[spurraider21]

Kings now have Sabonis, Raynaud, and Valanciunas

[Big Empty]

Damn.

[Russ]

They never wanted him. They worked him out so they must not have been that impressed

Hard to conclude anything else.

[Darkwaters]

he worked out for the Spurs

Ok. I mean, a lot of players worked out for the Spurs. Hard to know which guys impressed and which fizzled. But they liked him enough to bring him in for a look.

[spurraider21]

to be clear i didnt like Ranyaud as much as others here, felt like a Zollins-ish player but hopefully with better results. i much preferred Kalk as a legit rim protector. but just frustrating to see the spurs ignore the second round as a means to improve the team

[scott]

Raynaud to SAC is a blessing, because now we don't have to worry about him becoming great and us regretting it :lol

[Eaglenole2002]

Maybe we sign that other Auburn big to a two-way? Cardwell or something?

[mo7888]

Raynaud to SAC is a blessing, because now we don't have to worry about him becoming great and us regretting it :lol

That's funny, but true as well..lol

[heyheymymy]

Malika: "I think Embiid has accepted he's not an 82-game player, he's not even a 65-game player"

:lol coming in with the hammer

"but he just wants to win"

uhhh gotta play the games to win big guy. So Embiid wants to win but doesn't want to earn it by doing the hard work it takes to win.

[scottspurs]

Well that wraps things up for me y’all enjoy! I’ll hop back on tonight to see if the Spurs did anything with the undrafted guys

[spurraider21]

arite gg's all. we landed Harper and Bryant made it to us at 14

cheers!

[Trill Clinton]

Who? Nembardt is nice and they added McConnell in FA.

[Ariel]

These trade announcements from 10+ picks ago are ridiculous, so are the wrong caps, on top of the bunch of idiots spewing nonsense and pushing the corny narrative.

[Marcus Bryant]

Spurs should trade for the 57th pick and take someone from Argentina just to F with the league

[Ariel]

Spurs should trade for the 57th pick and take someone from Argentina just to F with the league
And with the 57th pick in the 2025 NBA draft, the San Antonio Spurs select... Ariel from SpursTalk :lol

[objective]

If there's no player value in 2nd rounders, then there's no reason not to burn one on a novelty local player or a player who is friend or a star player.

That being said, the WORLD CHAMPION Thunder still taking guys in the second

Spurs need to trade back in and take Rocco. Probably not a real nba player but could be entertaining in Austin

[Guru of Nothing]

Must be a lefty.

[spurs10]

I'm guessing Raynaud was of no interest to the Spurs, despite his friendship with Wemby. Who then? Wonder when the C/PF will be revealed? Yabusele is not a shot blocker.

[mystargtr34]

Draft some Palestinian kid to troll Silver. Have him come out in a free Palestine shirt.

[spurraider21]

Who? Nembardt is nice and they added McConnell in FA.
yes, mcconnell and nembhard are both second rounders/undrafted players who were in their rotation. thomas bryant played spot minutes as well, about 10mpg in the first 3 rounds of the playoffs.

[R. DeMurre]

If nothing else, this will make watching Raynaud's career over the next two or three years much more interesting.

[SpursFan86]

Markovic is a great draft and stash guy.

[Russ]

Markovic is a great draft and stash guy.

Like this guy.

Has some upside.

Probably won't work out but if he does . . .

[SpursGenius]

TBH my top targets were Fleming, Kalkbrenner and Penda, I'd take Raynaud but it was the first three I was most interested in, all of those were a lot more expensive, so I don't have a problem with the Spurs trading out. At this point if they want anyone it's a matter of contract more than having a pick, they'll get whoever they want as long as they're willing to pay him.
Wut

[Ariel]

Wut
What wut? It's pretty simple: even if the Spurs are currently out of the 2nd round, picks are for sale for peanuts and Spurs have more than they can count which they could have used but chose not to. That was evident as early as the 36th pick which the Lakers bought for 45 + cash considerations. So any player drafted from then on Spurs could have had for a single future first.

[mo7888]

If he doesn't get drafted, I wouldn't mind Dink Pate on a udfa deal. Good chance he bust, but there's some upside there if he can ever put it together. Austin would do him some good.

[jmard5]

which typically follows the annual "spurs keep gathering second round picks but never make use of any of them" scenario

Correct.

Free agency is the way to go. I think the front office preferred a C with veteran presence.

[Eaglenole2002]

I’d take Brice Williams on a two-way.

[Ariel]

If he doesn't get drafted, I wouldn't mind Dink Pate on a udfa deal. Good chance he bust, but there's some upside there if he can ever put it together. Austin would do him some good.
No, it's another Blake Wesley in the making, he'll show just enough for you to keep him on your roster and 4 years later he's still not good enough to play. Spurs need players who, even if there is room for improvement, are already good enough that they can at the very least have a positive impact on a small role right away, and they can grow fro there. Bottom up, not top down.

[Eaglenole2002]

If Eric Dixon promises to take Ozempic, he’d be fine for a two-way.

[mo7888]

No, it's another Blake Wesley in the making, he'll show just enough for you to keep him on your roster and 4 years later he's still not good enough to play. Spurs need players who, even if there is room for improvement, are already good enough that they can at the very least have a positive impact on a small role right away, and they can grow fro there. Bottom up, not top down.

You're not paying him Wesley money on a two-way. He's got athleticism and some talent. I'm not talking about a roster spot, just a two-way.

[Eaglenole2002]

Why did they throw on the draft hats in the dryer just before giving them to the players? They’re all misshaped and wrinkled.

[Eaglenole2002]

I forgot about Vlad Goldin. Maybe he can be our two-way big?

[onechance87]

I forgot about Vlad Goldin. Maybe he can be our two-way big?

would be nice

[Eaglenole2002]

Dixon to LAL

[BackHome]

I forgot about Vlad Goldin. Maybe he can be our two-way big?

When watching Wolf he always kind of stood out he is old style center but he I think would be a better backup then we currently have. If we don’t sign a Center I am going to piss off Dejounte and open a “Tank for 2026”. Lol.

[Eaglenole2002]

Goldin to Miami

[mudyez]

They never wanted him. They worked him out so they must not have been that impressed

Or they have been so impressed, that they concluded he will go in the first round.

Anyway, I was ok with trading the pick, but if I had known Maxime would have been available, I rather would have taken him. Wonder if MATFO feel the same way now.

[SpursGenius]

Correct.

Free agency is the way to go. I think the front office preferred a C with veteran presence.
nothing like that available this year they all suck. Bassey and Mamu best considering price age and talent. We needed to keep 38 and take Raynaud would have been perfect. dude is only guy in dvision 1 who averaged 20/10 not to mention buddies with Wemby

[Eaglenole2002]

Tim Connelly on trading pick 31: “It was really curious how agent driven the 2nd round became. We called players left & right, and there was 20 deals done before the draft started. It was interesting. No. 31 is fun, but it’s probably not as fun as we thought was gonna be.”

[Eaglenole2002]

I’m curious if the Spurs decided to wash their hands of the nonsense and that’s why they bailed early. Or maybe agents steered their guys away for some reason.

[Eaglenole2002]

Dylan Cardwell has agreed to a two-way contract with the Sacramento Kings, a source told ESPN.

[LeBowen]

I'm so glad I missed this, annual spurstalk second round meltdown.

[heyheymymy]

Yeah if agents are going to influence the second round to that degree I'd say fuck it too. Should reports end up being true

[benefactor]

So from what I understand he can not show up at all and then go back in the draft next season, correct? He can also play overseas if he wants.

[spurs10]

So from what I understand he can not show up at all and then go back in the draft next season, correct? He can also play overseas if he wants. A no-show would make him very unpopular in the NBA I'm thinking. Wonder what the deal is with Ace.

[HankChinaski]

Utah owns draft rights. He can play overseas, hold out for a year without signing a contract and become a free agent/be drafted again following year.

Can only negotiate with team that owns draft rights.

If he were to hold out it would be really bad for him career wise.

I don't think Utah will budge

[scott]

So from what I understand he can not show up at all and then go back in the draft next season, correct? He can also play overseas if he wants.

It's just the usual media nonsense, he'll show up there by Monday.

[Dejounte]

Yeah this is so stupid. Carter and Dylan didn’t get on the same plane either. Are they malcontents? No. Whoever is making these stories up is an idiot.

[spurraider21]

point sochan? we raise you point flagg

1938676127574163689

[Limguogolo]

Let him come to Europe, yes. He will probably be cut quickly. I can't see a team agreeing to bring in a player with no experience and such a deplorable state of mind.

He wanted to play for Washington? Someone send him to Seattle. He will definitely be the star of the SuperSonic.

And if he finally comes after months of no news. Let him be sent to the G-League to teach him respect.

[objective]

My understanding with the NBA draft rules was that he can only re-enter the draft if he doesn't play basketball anywhere for the next year.


Usually that was enough to dissuade players along with starting their clocks early and getting it over with. But with NLE money guys aren't entering the draft due to financial hardship anymore, they're going to have money in the bank and can take the year unpaid and just work with trainers.

Doubly so in the future for any sons of former players. They'll have family money and nle money and can throw their weight around. The days of getting loans from agents just to afford meals and a suit are probably over m

[ChumpDumper]

It looks like Ace is just getting bad advice from a dude he trusts.

[benefactor]

Yeah this is so stupid. Carter and Dylan didn’t get on the same plane either. Are they malcontents? No. Whoever is making these stories up is an idiot.
Pretty hard to compare his situation to any other players tbh.

[benefactor]

The other issue here is that Bailey already has over a million dollars in his pocket. In the NIL era situations like this could become more common...players feeling like they don’t have to play by the rules because they already have money.

[ace3g]

While watching the @NHL draft they allow people affiliated with/fans of the team announce the picks like the @NFL . That would be a cool thing to do at the @nba draft.

Hoping one day the #NBA draft combine will create a webpage where there are photos of each prospect against the wall like this. You could then select any number of prospects and see the height comparison.

So if he plays overseas, he can still re-enter the draft next year, or does Utah still hold his draft rights?

Also, when you say sit out a year, do you mean from the NBA?

[HankChinaski]

Also, when you say sit out a year, do you mean from the NBA?

I believe they can play in another league for a year, sit out for a year. After a year passes from their initial draft, the team loses draft rights and they (the player) can re enter draft, or choose to just sign with a team as a free agent. I do not know what type of contract details they could get but that is the basics I know

*edit*

He can sit out for a year and team that drafted losses draft rights.

If he plays in another league team still owns draft rights for one year when he stops playing in a different league I think

Ace Bailey in Europe would be hilarious. Especially if a serbian coach tells him to fuck off during time outs and then fans insult him. This boy ain't built for that type of environment.

OK, thanks. That would be bad then if Utah loses his draft rights and they get nothing/no compensation and lose the 5th pick of the draft, they'd be pissed.

Edit:

Since the draft has already happened, Utah can't go back and pick another player. He has to play for them, as, if he wants to be traded, I don't see them getting equal value back in a trade. The NBA might have to step in and force him to go there if he tries to hold out and not play for them.

Why would the NBA step in? If Ace sat out a year, he’d be exactly following the rules that the teams and the union agreed to. It’s not like Ace Bailey has discovered some hidden loophole that no one knew about and is cheating the Jazz out of something.

If Ace doesn’t want to play for Utah, he can hold out a year. That’s his decision. Maybe it forces a trade, maybe it doesn’t.. but no, the league wouldn’t step in to help Utah.

[Ice009]

Yeah, maybe he's not breaking any rules if he does do it, but it's just not a good look for the NBA. I don't know, I should probably shut up as I wanted Cooper to refuse to play for the Mavs ;).

With Ace, not sure how strongly he told Utah that he doesn't want to play for them. If he wasn't very clear, then it's on him and he needs to just suit up and play for them. If he was clear and very adamant to them about not wanting to play there, and they still drafted him, then I guess that's on Utah.

[ambchang]

Isnt the last guy who pulled this Danny ferry? He refused to play for the clippers and sat out a year, forcing the trade to Cleveland for Ron Harper. I’d say given the situation the clippers came up on the winning end of the deal for once.

I also recalled that started the issue with rookies holding out for huge contracts, Webber signed some crazy deal, then the following year big dog robinsons deal drew headlines and the league had to step in and implemented the rookie contract thing. Not sure if I remembered wrong on this.

[BatManu20]

Not sure why they'd even record and post this tbh.

Very interesting and just more insight to the concept that the draft isn’t really a draft, at least not completely. Players and agents (certain ones at least) in certain ranges have a lot more control over their destinations than we’d like to think.

[scott]

It just dawned on me that the pick Sacramento used to draft Maxime Raynaud was acquired from us in the Jalen McDaniels salary dump, but at the time it was Top 55 protected. We later removed those protections in the Fox trade.

So does Raynaud gets to join the list of players ST wanted the Spurs to take, only to get traded away?

[Mr. Body]

Maxime Reynaud wanted to go to Sacramento though.

[Ariel]

If nothing else, this will make watching Raynaud's career over the next two or three years much more interesting.
I'm still pissed about Ajay Mitchell :bang. This year I'll be following Fleming, Kalkbrenner and Penda, Raynaud I'd have seriously considered but he was a step behind them for me. I'll just defer judgment until we have a clear picture with free agency and trades.

You and I were on Ajay pretty early in the process last year. I didn't have any real SRP favorites that fell to 38 this year, but I was crossing my fingers for Penda. Will definitely be following them!

I'm pretty sure all those guys will be at least better than 2 players on the Spurs main roster

[Dejounte]

Guys I will follow: Jase Richardson, Drake Powell, Derrick Queen, Ben Saraf

[kxs783kms]

Lacks self awareness, thinks she's better than she is, loud, unskilled. Any objective person will find her unlikeable, imho.

Well Clark hasn't won at any level. No high school state title. No NCAA title. And she's not the best player in the league, nor is her team. You're effectively cheering on a loser at this point until she can prove she can win anything. No matter how much your hate is for AR, all of those things you mentioned hasn't stopped her from being successful. She's playing in the same league Clark is. I'll go as far to say that the ONLY reason you love Clark is because the media told you to do so because it definitely isn't because she's a world class winner.

[kxs783kms]

Reese did it all by herself. She did have any help from a loaded LSU team.

Well, AR plays for the Sky. Indy did hand NY their first loss this year.

Clark missed 5 games, they were 2-3 without her. Bonner quit on the team, so they cut her. Her ego wouldn't allow herself to come off the bench. Cunningham has missed games with injuries.

Now, the last 3 games, CC couldn't drop in the freakin ocean. Her shot is off. But, at least she is still dishing serious dimes.

Game 2 1pt loss
Game 4 2pt loss
Game 5. 6pt loss
Game 6. 2pt loss

They got blown out of the gym against atl 19 it's

They had decent leads against GS and LV before struggling in the late 3rd and 4th Q of both games. Wilson came to life in the 2nd half with MVP level pla, after a pitiful 1st half.

Also, besides injuries....they do have a new coaching staff and their HC keeps having to leave for personal reasons, I beli6somethong to do with her chock, Lisa Salter.

At the end of the day, it's about wins. Clark hasn't lead any team to any type of title, even going back to high school. This is not a true leader and winner operates but I understand that y'all will continue to move the goal post for her. Again, I see her as an average WNBA player until she actually wins something.

[SpursFan86]

Probably will take more than a year to get our answer, but one of the more intriguing storylines will be seeing how Coward vs. Bryant pans out. These 2 were widely considered the best wing options where we were picking…it’ll be interesting to see if we end up looking back on this draft being thankful Memphis took Coward, or if we’ll be pissed we barely missed on him.

edit: Guess you could also toss Essengue into the mix with him getting picked right before us as well

[onechance87]

will be keeping an eye on peavy.Thought he could of been a decent second round pickup.

[exstatic]

Guys I will follow: Dylan Harper and Carter Bryant.

[pad300]

Maxime Reynaud wanted to go to Sacramento though.

Well, that shows poor judgement...

[baseline bum]

Well, that shows poor judgement...

Not necessarily. With all the rumors of them trading Sabonis he could end up getting lots of playing time there.

[pad300]

Not necessarily. With all the rumors of them trading Sabonis he could end up getting lots of playing time there.

Dude, it's the Kangs...

[Mr. Body]

Well, that shows poor judgement...

He went to Stanford, which is like an hour or two away. Maybe he has a girl or just likes the area.

[Limguogolo]

Dude, it's the Kangs...
Maxime Raynaud is not Kobe Bryant. Sacramento is perfect for him. And he's a Sabonis fan.
