We are always 'rumored' to be doing something. I think it gives these so-called experts a way to post something without really having any information.

Speculation on which player they are targeting?

More reliable than our beat writers who have zero sources other than Woj and Marc Stein's twitters
If we can get a second rounder for Kyle Andersn.... RC is going back to back GM of the year tbh
Jamal Murray
It must be a player a Spurs did not interview or officially scout
Last time we moved up in the draft we got a first team all NBA player and mvp candidate... Any team willing to trade their pick to us will be thinking twice....
If this is actually the case hopefully its a player they can use immediately and not someone they think will be great in 2 seasons. Hopefully its someone with athleticism and not just a character guy.

Very rarely do you find guys with freak athleticism who are not full of themselves or have an arrogance about their games. This is a trait that the Spurs organization don't typically deal with.
What I was thinking, but I can't think of a package that would get us in the 5-8 range. Green + Pick 29 + '17 1st?
Hmmm I doubt that will happen.....
This seems obvious. Don't all gm seek opportunities to make deals?
LOL Hoopsworld, Tspence has better sources than Alex Kennedy.
Interesting but I think they try and move up every year.
I'm no AK fan, but no. He has been around and while he's not some super tied in player in the NBA, he's not some no-name message board type.
I'll never trust anything out of Hoopsworld after they announced the Spurs were signing Karl Malone when the team called the press conference to announce Sean Elliott's jersey being retired.
I don't like Ander , but trading a 1st round NBA player for a 2nd round rookie = GM of the year? Are you high on drugs?
I think Malone would have worn #11... probably would have dropped Mike Wilks anyway.
Haha - I would tend to agree, the site is pretty garbage but he has to work somewhere. Was just saying I am very particular with regards to basketball and who I listen to and from my experience AK is not some complete hack. He tries to do a good job and has been credible enough.
I don't follow him or read him unless someone else post about him but from what I have seen he's been ok.
Do you think Fathead plays like a first rounder? If you do, get off the meth
Has Tspence ever shown back up around here since his epic texts a few years back?
no, but trading him for some eurotrash who may or may not ever come here would be accepting that he screwed the pooch in the 2014 draft.
Most rumors about the Spurs are garbage, but I guess that goes for most rumors of any kind. I don't think they would trade up for a project, at this point in time.
I also don't think they could trade up to any of the top slots. They might be able to get up to the 14-15 range, and keep thinking they might take Denzel Valentine there. He's not the athletic wonder you're talking about, but nobody's going to nickname him Slow-Mo II. He is a character guy, but he's also one of those guys with some snap. (As opposed to slack-jawed, dull-eyed drones who happen to be able to jump.) He was also a good defender in college.
He's likely going to be a contributor as a rookie, wherever he plays. I agree with you - that's something the Spurs need. My biggest concern is that he played at the 3 quite a lot in college, but he's only 6'5". That makes him a bit of a tweener, since there's not much room for 6'5" SFs in the NBA. I'm really off of tweeners, after watching so many of them disappoint. And if I just had to pick a tweener, it would be tall SG, rather than a short SF.
Still, I think he would be an immediate asset. And I think the Spurs could trade up high enough to get him.
Hey just like your thoughts!!!
