Official 2020 Draft Day Thread (Begins at 7PM CST)

[DPG21920]

Imagine drafting three MVPs in a row and having one Finals appearance to show for it and now being congratulated for stocking up on iffy draft picks

Still better than trading for Derozan

[SpurPadre]

It was cool to see Maledon paying his respects to TP9, tbh.

[Biggems]

he went #19

Saddiq went 19.....Tyler was on the board till xers just took him

[RC_Drunkford]

And Philly sent #36 (Bey) along with Richardson to get Curry

Pop

[objective]

If all it took was Seth Curry to get Josh Richardson the Spurs are full blown idiots for not trading Mills for him. Of course they didn't cause Flopovich can't lose his "leader"

Philly will save about 3 million? just in salary and millions more in luxury tax savings

Mills would have cost them money

[timvp]

Still better than trading for Derozan

Tbh?

[Kurik]

he went #19

The other Bey.

Hoping for Woodard, Perry, Nwora, or Reed now.

[DPG21920]

I think should look at those teams and ask yourselves when they actually started to get a bright future and how they looked just before that?

Dallas was awful for a while. Doncic turned them around, but it's not like they were killing it with young players and whatnot before that.

Memphis refused to tank for years, even trading away a first in an effort to get better. They let guys like ZBO walk. Then they decided at the last minute to tank and got the young core you're fawning over. Also, they aren't better than the Spurs now.

NOP basically wasted seven years of Davis before lucking into Zion. They're also not better than the Spurs and may never be given Zion's potential to bust out. Still, they have a lot of picks and some young players I like.

OKC is definitely not better. They have a more interesting future. But I think they'll have to tank to get the players they want and hope they can hit on those picks. The Thunder need to move as many of those picks as possible to improve their selections. SGA is a nice prospect though.

The Suns should be better now that they did the Paul trade. I think they got a good deal in terms of players they gave up. The Spurs might want to consider making a big trade like that themselves. I think they're better, but I don't think they were before the trade.

Denver was mediocre for ever and never tanked. They lucked into a superstar and have a decent second option. They are an example of how you can "do nothing" yourself into a better future.

So..you didn’t disagree with any of it really.

Who cares about the past. Post Tim been a downhill trend filled with awful coaching and GMing and as I said Sa is far behind no matter how you look at it. Past doesn’t matter.

a lot of those picks prolly end up being high lottery picks considering how close to imploding the Clippers seem

[mo7888]

Damn you Sacramento!

[The Truth #6]

We need someone taller than 6'7". So which 6' point guard are we drafting?

[DPG21920]

Tbh?

Definitely. Presti made one mistake (owners fault tbh) but been aces overall sense.

SA since Tim been gone? Downhill and it’s been 2 years post Kawhi and Sa doing nothing to atone for their mistakes. At least Presti made up for his mistakes - has Sa?

[El Santo]

Wonder if spurs will pick another guard?

[ZeusWillJudge]

Bey gone, avoided one more mistake...

LOL. One of the loftiest verticals in combine history, plus rebounding and defense. Yeah, you don't want a guy like that in Today's NBA.

[**BUSTA**]

woodard gone

[lefty20]

I can't believe people are defending Spurs running it back . Other then the 3 (Keldon, White, Lonnie) keepers the rest of this team is expendable trash.

How dare the rest of the league conspire to not give us their gold in return for our overpaid trash

[ElNono]

LOL. One of the loftiest verticals in combine history, plus rebounding and defense. Yeah, you don't want a guy like that in Today's NBA.

Not on these Spurs anyways. I'm waiting for this thing to end to start the "Official 2021 Draft Day Thread"...

[Degoat]

Draft Tre Jones and trade patty’s ass

[objective]

good for Saben Lee to get picked in the 30s

Wasn't even invited to the combine. Teams must have been sandbagging.

[ZeusWillJudge]

It was cool to see Maledon paying his respects to TP9, tbh.

At least Maledon went between the Spurs' picks. I remember when they were pimping him for a lottery pick and I just cringed at the thought.

[The Truth #6]

Could have used Woodard.

[ElNono]

So, what's the consensus among the experts here? What position the Spurs are looking to fill in with this pick?

SF? Another guard would be ridiculous.

[Chomag]

Inb4 another guard

[NASpurs]

[Dejounte]

Tre Jones... Sigh
