Not to mention they have Collins who was a top-10 pick.

:cry

If these guys can ball decently next season what a horrible showing for Borrego in Charlotte…

In case you're wondering, 2/30 is actually more than five percent. Anyway, I think you can argue that 7/16 teams in the playoffs this year didn't do so thanks to drafting in the top-10. I think it's dishonest to talk about a team like Brooklyn which hasn't drafted in the top-10 since like...

This is fully cliche. I tire of seeing wooooo the league is so weak this season while the Spurs were 14 games below 500 and made a run late when teams were tanking… league is the same it’s ever been. Actually more interesting bc there’s a lot more home cooked teams instead of super teams. It’s...

Well, I had doubts with GSW this season, but it really might just be that the Grizzlies truly have their ticket and will have to face them again next season and they know it… Its probably premature still but it’s looking like golden twinkies champions again.

I am all for Chinook approach a few posts back. I felt tempted to bump it bc I am with it a 100%. I prefer a high floor prospect. Sometimes those guys do end up developing into more, like Kawhi and Butler, but even if they don’t, at least you got something. That would have been the case for taking...

I really liked Moses Moody and I think he’ll show more in the coming seasons. He got limited opportunities in a stacked with veterans GSW team. I also liked Trey Murphy III and he’s looked solid for the Pelicans in the playoffs. Frankly there will be several players that end up better than Primo...

Not at all. Way harder trying to get that guy with pick 9 or worse in the draft…

I see, ya, if they are basically offering a pick virtually unprotected or light? Sure. Dont think they would though

Why would SA give up the better pick and another to move back? If they were willing to give up 13 and a future first for pick 9 sure. But not pick 9 and 25.

That is what trades and FA is for

Spurs back half of the roster was devastatingly bad. Starters, while definitely needing upgrades as well did pretty good for most part. But the talent drop off after the top 6 or 7 was huge and Sa needs to infuse more upside and versatility and the draft is how to do that. Im not saying I want them...

Imagine replacing KBD & McDermott with versatile defensive players who actually have some overall upside. That alone would be productive some not even getting into any trades/free agency.

I really hope SA can snag Sochan and Eason. Would love to add some real defense and energy to this already energetic team. I would love to take Sochan at 9 and move up to guarantee Eason.

Ya - I dont know how likely just saying those 3 I could see going higher than some think. How likely? Not sure at all.

Davis and/or Sochan and/or Griffin

So Poetl, 9, 20 and 25 to move up 3 spots from 9 and to 15 from 25? No way. I’d move Poetl + 25 for picks 13 AND 15 (we keep 20). But no way I move Jakob + 20 + 25 for 15 that’s awful.

I don’t like anymore one dimensional vets on long term deals. If he made 1 year 40m I wouldn’t have cared. But signing tall Marco to multiple years was very dumb

When you create mediocrity from UDFAs and castoffs, that's impressive. The key after that is knowing how to leverage that created value into trade pieces. As I said, the benefit of someone like Richardson isn't what he actually did for Miami on the court, but that he could be a centerpiece in a...

Not that meet your criteria of “significantly changing” a team

Those are two different arguments: the main one is acting like moving back from 7 to 9 is a massive deal. I dont think it is specifically for a team like POR that wants to balance winning now + future. There are not many teams with picks so close to theirs that can also offer a win now player. So...

Well, theres very rarely a trade like that anyone does tbh..

I am not going by Timvps board (and timvp board is SA specific, he fully expects Sharpe to be way gone before SA picks despite having him 14th for SA). I am making the point that teams likely have differing boards. And when you factor in both people like you and people like timvp + consensus from...

That does not make any sense. 1) Richardson played lights out with SA so his value is up. 2) It’s not about Spurs having best offer, but the value in moving back 2 or 3 spots for POR. Going from pick 7 back a few spots, whether with SA or not, is not a huge deal unless POR for some reason values...

Yes, lol, you are literally the only one. Get that guy and his contract out of here ASAP. Such a dumb signing.

I think they will if they can get value. I think they would trade Richardson if it moved them up or netted them another first (future). I can see players being used in a sign and trade as well if SA is going to land someone like Lavine or Ayton for example. Lots of paths IMO

Youre making that up. HUGE value is very subjective, especially in a draft like this. I agree that Richardson has more value than Doug - no doubt about that. I dont know that Doug has negative value (he does to me and I would value him that way lol, but not sure every team does) Again, do the...

I will bet that Sa makes a trade sometime during/leading up to draft and/or into free agency.
