They will trade up into the top 10
They will trade down
They will stand pat with the 11th pick
They will trade the pick for player(s)
Our front office isn’t incompetent; we needed both these players. This what success breads I see; sad that our fans are super short sighted. We can switch and hound everything on the perimeter....we will be compe ive in most all games. Not to mention our cap space moving forward.....
Really we needed another PG while we already have 3 PG and an ball dominant SG DEROZZ and not able to move any of our expiring contracts in LMA, DEROZZ, Rudy, or even Mills has shown this organization is truly Incompetent -
You add the in ability to do any trades and suspect draft added to last two seasons screw up in the KY trade and the Bertans for nothing trade and just use another word which would be this organization just plain SUCKS
They just are horrible at judging talent and closing deals. And they half ass the negotiations. They know they need to do deals but don’t really want to and it shows in their half ass effort to do anything

Has anyone else done a 3-peat with 3 different teams? I can’t think of anyone that’s done that
I love how people forget that there is literally 0% chance the a 2nd round pick will get any minutes with the big league club anyways. It's always a guaranteed ticket straight to Austin, no matter the position of the player and the needs of the team.
Getting a defensively solid PG with a decent shot at the 41st pick is not bad. Especially when Mills and DD are both FAs after next year. As a bonus, Trey can make Murray expendable if he pans out better than expected. People are literally incapable of looking past one year.
You could say the same for first round draft picks living in G League.
I didn't watch the end of the draft. The Rockets got the 52 pick from the Kings for a bag of chips, and took Kenyon Martin Jr. I think some people will be kicking themselves for not having that foresight. Other teams buy second round picks for cash, or next to nothing. The Spurs? Not a chance.
As long as the Spurs have Pop and 50 Mills, that's a fact.
So, you like OKC’s moves better? If not them.....who?
That’s the front officeCode:u“we want muh 40 wins!!” “I want muh Derozan in a trade because I’m worried more about this season than my future” “we have to play muh Forbes & Beli because this year is only thing that matters!! Muh wins!”
There are only 20 prospects on average that make it on the league every draft. If one of those players is still available when you pick at 41 then who cares what position he plays.
I will say - he drafted well & hearing him speak was the most clear & confident I’ve heard him to date.
Let’s see a plan & direction in free agency now.
He did the obvious. Tre Jones was pretty obvious at 41. He could have picked Haliburton at 11, and you would be saying the same thing. Probably if he would have taken Lewis, or several other guys. This draft was chock full of mid-tier, role players and he got one of them. Yahoo. Sorry, but that's not enough for me to believe he's somehow turned a corner.
Yeah, lets see evidence of an actual cohesive plan, and not just filling a roster with a bunch of pieces and then trying to figure out how to get the 8 playoff seed with them. Then I'll give credit where it's due.
I mean I’m obviously not singing his praises & FA looms. But he could have taken Bey or someone really uninspired but he didn’t and sounded like someone who understands the future and what type of player is most valuable.
Does not mean he’s capable of fixing mistakes or pulling of creative trades or whatever. But IMO, I was looking to be proven wrong and while he disappointed me with no DDR or LMA deal, he did well in the draft all things considered
True. Last night could have gone poorly. In the draft they held ground and didn't screw up. I think the next big step is to see what they do with Forbes. Their history suggests they will keep him...
A plan. Commit to a direction, and focus every move in that direction. I've heard you say it any number of times.
He doesn't have to be mistake-free in his moves, so long as there's a clear direction. I don't see that. And the draft choices don't clarify anything. I'll wait to see what he does in FA, but I don't have a good feeling about it.
Me either but while there isn’t a plan evident the types of players drafted at least speak to a path moving forward on the types of players who will be targeted.
I’ve been harsh on him because it’s critical SA has the right man for the job so it’s only fair to acknowledge when he does something solid. Draft was solid.
But still needs to prove himself in the other phases (fa and trades)
Like i said in the other thread, Jones is more a floor manager than murray or white who are more PG/SG imo . We need that type of back pg since years ... maybe he will not pan out. We'll see but he is definitively a need.
But there is a plan, it's just that you don't like it. The plan has always been to be as good as possible with the players available without mortgaging the future and this plan has been very consistent over the years. You want them to tank hard but perhaps they can't afford to do it financially, or they're not allowed to do so by the owners, or perhaps they just don't think this would be the best path to becoming contenders down the line. The last thing you can accuse them of is that there isn't a plan.
This is so wrong (imo) I don’t even know where to begin.
"mortgaging the future"
What future is there with a big 3 of DePression, LMA, and post-achilles Rudy ing Gay?
Seriously. You can't mortgage something that doesn't exist."mortgaging the future"
What future is there with a big 3 of DePression, LMA, and post-achilles Rudy ing Gay?
Your joking right? Clowns everywhere....... Spurs future is bright. Who would you rather be right now Okc, Memphis,Phoenix,Houston, or San Antonio?
How about Horry with Houston, LA and the Spurs.
