Picks #20 & #25. Not terrible. That Boston pick definitely loses a little trade value though.
Just glad Denver didn’t us by blowing a 23-point lead and losing to the ty lakers’ G-League squad in their game of the season.
All pretty non eventful but at least it wasn’t the worst possible outcome.

Spurs pick 25 Boston's pick
Yeah, More important that they got the highest possible pick from the tie breakers.
I'd say it's about a halfway scenario, because going down a pick is less costly as you move down the draft. We went up one with Toronto and went down 2 with Boston, it's the more important of the two we came on top of, so I'm cool with it.
It's Milwaukee that f*cked us by dropping their last game. Otherwise we'd have the 24 pick guaranteed.
So flip a two-headed coin and Toronto and Boston call heads.

GOTTA ADD: MEDIOCRE TWEENER FORWARD
That’s a pretty good outcome tbh having 20 to me was the big one that other pick most likely will be traded or used on a draft & stash

9, 20, 25....I can live with that.
I would have preferred 9, 15, 16.....but at least we have 3 firsts. Also, I believe we can find a hidden gem with one of the two in the 20s. The 3rd pick may be a draft and stash, though we really do not do that anymore. Maybe we trade it during the draft for another prospect in the draft, or a future asset.
The first pick (@9 for now) is not set until the lottery on May 17
Spurs prolly flip 25 for two future 2nds imo.

Horrible deal. I'd much rather take a future 1st rounder, draft & stash, or use it to trade up. Second rounders are hardly ever useful.
If they're high 2nds they definitely have value. Could easily flip them again to get back into the late first round of a future draft.
Boston was the first team in nba history to be under .500 (pre all star break) and finish TWENTY games above .500. Unbelievable
That pick should have been 19-23 at worst but it’s 25 somehow. Brutal. But 20 is solid for Thad Young. Derozan deal paying off and there’s more to come in future from that.
No doubt, those 2nd round picks hardly ever amount to anything.
Bench warmer Thaddeus Young shot us up 13 positions (33 to 20)... awesome trade. And Derrick landed us Josh Richardson, 25 and a future swap for a lottery pick once Boston implodes (hopefully). Nobody can say Brian Wright didn't earn his paycheck this time around.
Totally agree, both great trades to make and good use of assets. Wright's real test will be this upcoming draft though, not only for the draftees but for every other trade he can make with the 3 FRPs he has and all the solid-to-good players on the team already. I'd love to see some regrouping of assets.
On another note - is that an Independiente logo I see on your avatar?! Just curious to see if there's yet another Argie among us :P
jajaja, qué otra cosa podría ser? Si, argentino. De Avellaneda y del rojo. Mucho gusto.
Yup. And like the DeRozan trade now being functionally 2 FRP (since we got one for Thad and we get one later too), I can definitely see Richardson being moved for a FRP as well to make it 25th pick + another first for Richardson + the pick swap
Typical. The only reason they got 20 instead of 21 is because the league saw Raptors and got confused/excited . . . they'll make up for it by saddling the Spurs with 10 or 11 though.
Renting 15m in cap space shot us up 13 picks. We paid nearly 20mm total for that FRP when you consider eating 4m for Hutchison.
It's both, it helped them financially and also they had been looking for Young for a while to help mentor their young core as they mature. If not for that they surely could have found an alternative that didn't involve giving up a first rounder.
