Agree. They never were getting much for LMA or DDR. Those were pipe dreams. The big mistakes this summer would be continuing with too many of the decrepit vets and/or signing big money to dubious players/fits like Markkanen and Collins.
The dumbest front office. Spending a lottery pick on a second rounder

Sure, for 26th and 29th picks. That's where Primo should have been taken. Wasting a 12th on him is criminal. It's as if the Spurs don't know how to scout or draft in the lottery.
I think people need to realize Primo isn't a second round talent.
If this kid works out big time that thinking might look pretty prescient.
Please stop being prisoners of the moment.....do your draft research of the last five drafts 1-10 lottery picks! All types of missing went on but you’ll about #12. You win with vets but back fill with youth, you guys know the rules!
Definitely not who Murray wanted.
I want JT Thor in the second round.
"I don't know if I was ready for that, I didn't realize I was gonna be (picked) that high, but I'm glad it's with the Spurs. I've always wanted to be a Spur. I told my agent ... that's where I want to be."
"Those idiots will max me and then send me to a real team so I can win a championship"
Nah not about just the Primo pick; more about the last few years starting with what they did with Kawhi trade up until now. Agree in FA. Agree they have not made any huge mistakes.
But missing literally EVERY SINGLE opportunity to gain extra assets and clearly having no direction or plan and just stuck in neutral is alarming and for me inspires no faith that they are a modern and effective FO any longer.
Don't think Brian Wright should be attacked for this pick - a rookie GM wouldn't dare make such a reach - this decision certainly goes deeper.
News flash: NO ONE WILL EVER HELP US! We will be just fine...patience ladies.
At least someone has a brain here!
Also any positioning during the regular season has no bearing, because this guy is not even on anybody’s radar.
I honestly think this is not a huge stretch to believe this.
David Robinson says hi
Knicks apparently wanted to trade up. Wonder if it would have been for both of their firstrounders. If so, we might have gotten Kai Jones and Primo.
BUT well, all these ifs will be forgotten, when Primo becomes an All Star in 2027.
...probably for the Raptors or the Supersonics.
Lololol reading the room on the old school posters who haven't been here in a decade, and timvp himself??
This is a monumental disaster.
I've never seen the spurs fans react this way on public social media directly towards the official spurs accounts.
This GM should be ing fired
Even if Primo was #1 overall on their board, where or when is he going to play? And I wouldn't be surprised if he was #1 over Cade and Mobley. Last year Utah and Lindsey had Azubuike #2 on their board. Lindsey was appropriately fired ... oops, I mean, 'transitioned to a consulting role'.
This team is going nowhere fast and he's not even going to play.
It's just frustrating that one of the things that fans of non-contending teams can look forward to for their entertainment dollar is the promise of lottery picks playing. Even if Primo was ready to go right now, no 6-5 or under guy is going to get minutes without injuries ahead of them.
At least he'll squeeze in during blowout losses, and after they max out Lauri Markannen, they'll have a few of those.
I don't get why people weren't this pissed when we drafted Samanic. Primo excites me much more than that scrub.
How we do get a Brian Wright and Pop resignation campaign going??
Someone get a t-shirt business started
