Parker and Splitter would be the only things I could see as realistic trade chips to move up that high.
Someone posted this on spursreport.com, Don't know how much truth there's to it but here it is.
Rumor: Spurs may be trying to move way up in the draft
A buddy who has been a good source of insider talk and rumors from around the league is telling me that the Spurs may be trying to land the #2 pick in the draft from Charlotte in order to get Kansas player Thomas Robinson (PF).
There are some reports out there that the Spurs have been looking at Big Men who are way beyond their draft pick range and now this report leads me to believe that there may be something to this rumor.
Check it out and post your thoughts as to who SA would trade for that pick if true.
...
Charlotte Bobcats – The Bobcats may not trade the second overall pick, but it won’t be for lack of trying. In recent weeks, Charlotte has been in contact with a number of teams and they’ve made it clear that the No. 2 pick is available. However, multiple league sources have said that the Bobcats are looking for a lot in return. They would like to add a face of the franchise player, which is why they’ve reportedly expressed interest in young stars like Rudy Gay and James Harden. If the Bobcats can’t use the pick to make a splashy move, they’ll likely draft Thomas Robinson. However, Charlotte continues to hold out hope that they can move the pick and bring in a player who can make an impact right away.

Blow up the team for ing Thomas Robinson?
KU players rarely rarely pan out
lol not happening
Its like pierce and Vaughn and then everyone else
I can see us moving up, but not for Thomas Robinson. I don't think he would be a good fit next to Tim Duncan, and we need somebody taller than 6'9".
smokescreen for when Spurs draft Bernard James in 2nd round.
Bobcats aren't that stupid. Kawhi would most likely have to be apart of any deal that sends the #2 pick here which means this is re ed.
I can't see the Spurs doing anything drastic unless it's someone they are absolutely in love with. It's hard to imagine after the success they had this year (even with an epic ty collapse) that they would want to blow it up - and getting into the top 5 will take Parker or Gino and that is blowing it up IMO.
It's hard to see Gino's value being that high and it doesn't make a ton of sense to trade TP, but you never know. If the Spurs get a pick that high, you just have to trust the kid will be a damn good basketball player.
But this can come down to assest and perceived value. As great as Kawhi and Parker and Gino are, the number two pick (in any draft) is pretty damn valuable. But it just doesn't add up that they blow it up with the success they've had and this late into the game.
Spursreport still exists?
BTW, if something like this actually "leaked" from the Spurs org., you can be damn sure it's a smokescreen.
Move up to #2 to get Thomas Robinson? No way. Tired of these 6'8" big man. And Charlotte would be stupid to take Robinson over MKG.
-- HAH! Fat chance, morons! ... NOBODY and I mean NOBODY will EVER be a good fit next to Timmy. Period.
fify
That kid has the potential to be much better pleayer than a Prime Tony, and considering that Tony, Manu and Timmy will keep regressing, I say go for it.
Drummond & Leonard anchoring the defense for the future
i'm with you there....
MKG will never be as good as Kawhi. So, Kawhi would be considered as the second overall pick in this draft? Nice.
Trade Kawhi and give Bonner a contract extension.
5year/60 mill?
I was stationed with that kid in northern Cali. I think he is def spurs material. very humble and coachable. Would be a solid move.
Was Robinson even interviewed by the Spurs at the Draft Combine? I know they interviewed Drummond, but I hadn't heard of anything involving Robinson.
Seems impossible without surrenduring Tony Parker, and that seems almost impossible.
sounds like nonsense. especially since they are talking about a 6'9" PF
