Yeah, I'm aware of that.....just hoping we get lucky.
I think Vassell is going to go on top 10 but I agree if Haliburton you take him and try and trade Murray or White and get Patrick Williams 6’8 SF who I think is still 18 years old or Jalen Smith 6’10 PF/C physical player who can rebound and a good rim protector. Also might look at Seddiq Bey or Alejsej Pokusevski

My Spurs top targets rn
1.Wiseman
2.Avjdija
3.Nesmith
4.McDaniels
5. Okoro
Darn it, Nbadraftnet has Toppin going 2nd.
The Spurs could also trade up from #11 by adding an asset.
I can't think of what asset that the Spurs would be willing to give up and the team at #8 would be willing to accept, though.
How about the draft rights to one of the best big men in Europe?
So no draft until season is officially cancelled!?
I agree, imo vassel or Haliburton have a good chance of being Available at 11.
You have a bunch of guys who are set to be drafted before
Ball, Wiseman, Edwards, avdija, Hayes, okongwu... Probably Toppin, Anthony... if hali and vassel are drafted in the top 10 then a good prospect will slide.
The only thing I dont get, is the white trade. We already have a lot of youngs, white is a proven player imo and at 26 more mature than others. I will trade him for a ready player not another rookie...
With the lottery in less than one month, we may have some news in the next 2-3 weeks.
They can trade up too. Get pick 11, trade 11 and a future first for 8. Or 11 and Lonnie. Or whatever
He's 25, and just re-signed in Europe. No one cares about big men any more. They're dinosaurs.
Lonnie or Another pick to move up three spots ? Imo it's too much, unless you Can move in the top 3-4 i will not give Murray white or Walker.
If we can move up to get wiseman, Toppin or haliburton you do it. Walker and 1st to move up to get those guys would be worth it. If it’s for someone else, no.
I still like Carey. Think I would be happier with him later in the draft, like if the Spurs make a trade or it the season restarts and SA finds a way to eek into the playoffs. He put up really good numbers as a freshman in a real conference. He's shown he can shoot a bit, and he has some potential as a shooter too. The Spurs have a chance to move up and get an elite talent, but in a scenario where they are looking at talent in the middle of the round, Carey just seems to have the potential the team needs.
Carey Jr will be a solid player. Would love to get him...among others. Lots of good talent in the 5-25 range.
If "and 1st" means 11, then there's an argument. If it means Walker and another Spurs first, then I can't agree. The Spurs don't need to be losing talent and committing future picks for non-elite prospects. Walker is the last guy on the team the Spurs should be trading as part of a future-oriented move. Some people hate on Lonnie for his slow development, but if it's not a win-now move that somehow puts the LMA/DMDR/Gay core into contending status, the team can afford to give Walker more time. Now if they're trading White, on the other hand, that's a different story. I like Derrick a lot, even more than Murray. But you can certainly argue that he's a bit too old to rebuild with, and he doesn't seem to be consistent enough to build around as a long-term bench player. I don't believe he has the value to get a pick above 11 by himself, but I do think he could get a top-20 pick, and that could give the team a chance to draft a top-tier role-playing forward in addition to going for potential with their natural pick.
Something that's interesting is the idea that the season may resume to a point where the draft occurs when games are still being played. If that happens, how do draft-day trades work? Do they allow them at all? Are they limited to non-player assets? Do they make an exception just for draft day? If it's the third option, there could be a flurry to get stretch-run pieces, especially if they allow expiring players to be part of the exchange.
Vassell/Nesmith/Saddiq all should be within reach
I just feel like sooner or later we’re gonna have to choose are we gonna keep Dwhite for the future or Lonnie, and I think it’ll be Derrick white we keep so why not trade Lonnie + the 11th pick if it’s a guy like Deni, wiseman, Toppin. Plus we have Keldon who honestly looks like a better fit with the team
For Wiseman, but for Toppin or Haliburton I will not do it. I could be wrong as nobody knows what Walker will Be in 2-3 years.
You are correct. The 1st would be this years pick.
Btw me using Lonnie as an example was not an endorsement; just an example. Sa should not be trading youth
That was basically my point. Any asset that the team at #8 would want in addition to #11 is too much for the Spurs to be giving up; the other team isn't going to want fodder like Forbes.
Just because they have a bunch of random young guys, it's not like they're set for the future. They're in the process of determining which are keepers, but higher upside youth is required.
Haliburton probably has it and Maledon debatably does, but they're 6-7 years younger. Since he can be replaced by a significantly younger archetype, it's worth it to at least look into trading White.
Unless they luck into a do it all wing (good luck) to alleviate the scoring/play making burden, as a tandem, Murray and White lack offensive dynamism.
The decision will likely be between Murray and White and they might have already made it by committing to Murray.
White's situation is similar to Hill's. Near ideal Spur (minus the lack of assertiveness), but cir stances could be conspiring to cut his tenure short.
Walker is the only one who looks like a possible go-to scorer.
I can agree with you on that, my preference is to let our youth playing more next year and then make a choice but that's not easy as white will Be fa.
I like him too, but I would stay away from Duke players.
