The recent leak was that he wants a starting role. Spurs usually don't promise your role. But i suppose they could show they will rehabilitate you like Gay, who started plenty and Zach Collins who was very broken.
Would 100% do it
flapdoodle
How would we trade up with 23?
I expect one of Williams or Eason to be available at 20 . I also have Porcida and Liddell in the same tier as Eason so I'd be just as happy with either. That would leave me 23 and 38 to move for future assets. Those are subtle differences though... in general I agree with your strategy..especially the Sexton signing... I think he fits alongside DJ..
Sexton is horrible, defensively, like Forbes class. He’s restricted, so you’ll have to way over pay to keep CLE from matching, and youre stuck with an overpaid bad defender coming off your bench. At least Lonnie has never been overpaid. If you want a bench scoring spark who can’t guard your grandma, just re-sign him. It would be a lot cheaper.
Sharpe falling means another of our guys rising. Geez
I think MJ may want his at ude though, tbh. And Sharpe would love to play for the greatest
That's not getting it done for Anunoby, there's no reason why the 76ers would have any interest in that and there's no way Sexton would be amendable to being 6th man on a team where he'd be the best scorer and that lacks go-to scoring to begin with.
That would be a missed opportunity... to extort more assets from a team desperate to land him, which I'm sure there will be. The Rockets paid 2 future firsts for Sengun at 16 last year, if Sharpe falls to 9 at the very least you can get another lottery pick plus 1 or 2 future firsts, if not more. I'd have no problem trading down a few spots for that.Sharpe falling means another of our guys rising. Geez

Sharpe is simply misunderstood... he's so great, other players are not worth stepping onto the same court as him. All bow down to the great Shaedon, the greatest player NEVER to play a meaningful game... they just don't deserve him.
On a serious note, the guy is a Chuck Norris meme caliber a$$hole.
Lots of teams seem to be angling to trading their extra picks, Hornets reportedly opened to moving 15, Cavs interested in trading 14 for an additional first rounder (seems like a good trade partner for the spurs potentially 20+25 for 14?)
Sounds like a scenario for a lot of draft night trades. Teams won't know whether they need to (or want to) trade until the draft unfolds -- lots of contingent deals in place so they can be consummated in the few minutes between picks.
Kind of like the draft night the Spurs traded for Kawhi Leonard. Hopefully anyway.
I can see Dieng falling in the 20s. , I can see him dropping in the second round if a team with multiple picks ( o!) doesn't take a flyer on him. For some reason he was way overhyped while his game seems pretty raw, shoot doesn't look really good, doesn't seem to be able to create or eliminate off the dribble. Basically he's there for averaging 20pts/game for its worst team in the second part of the australian at 18. Maybe I'm wrong and with the right development team, he'll flourish but I see him as a decent role player a best who can give you 12-15 minutes or a start here or there if needed at term.
I’m betting there are frameworks for deals for all 4 picks already in place. Maximum flexibility so that they know when they go on the clock that they have a trade ready and queued up if they feel there isn’t value at one of the pick slots.
If Cleveland is interested, I would absolutely trade up for that pick.
I definitely agree it’s possible they’re hiding their interest in Duren by holding a secret workout with him (like they did with Vassell). The fact that they’ve been slated to pick Duren in literally all versions of ESPN’s mock draft though suggests they’re not doing a very good job of hiding their interest.
The thing is that those teams may not want additionnal picks. I don't see a lot teams in the 10-18 range wanting more picks maybe OKC or Houston but that's it.
But imo the best thing for the spurs is to use those picks to move up.
Sexton is way better than Lonnie though
Quick interview with Jalen Williams. I like his at ude and Bball IQ a lot more than Shaedon’s.
Jeff: You worked out with the Spurs ahead of the NBA Draft. How was that?
Jalen: It was really a one-on-one workout. That was expected from San Antonio. It was early and kind of in and out.
Jeff: Did you interview with any of the staff?
Jalen: We got to interview with coach [Gregg] Popovich. That was a pretty cool experience. Something I definitely didn't take for granted, but it was a good workout.
Now it's kind of up in the air with how everyone feels. I had a really solid workout. It was really cool to meet the whole [Spurs] staff and just go through that process with them.
Jeff: Is there a player on the Spurs roster you'd like to play with?
Jalen: I think Dejounte [Murray] is really the pull. We have a lot of similar metrics, and with our wingspans, and what we bring to the defensive side of the ball.
I definitely think it would be fun. That's who I would be looking forward to playing with if I were to become a Spur.
i mean who else would they really want to play with other then murray?
Pretty telling now that Shadeon Sharpe didn't have a Spur player name ready to respond to the interview question when Benedict said Primo and now Jalen W. says DJ.
Like how dumb is Shadeon Sharpe to not know a single player offhand to want to be dynamic with. If I'm a potential NBA player I got the whole league memorized cause that's my job and passion.
Wow, very thoughtful responses from Jalen W.
That guy is Spurs material.
I think Sharpe has TY handlers more than anything else. Even if you don’t care about the team, you’d think you’d be prepped for that softball. Say nothing of his hide and seek strategy
Dj didn’t fall bc of personality, he wasn’t good in college. He had a very awful looking shot, tended to chuck difficult shots he was bad at, had TO and ball handling issues, etc. he was also bad on D and his team overall sucked. He fell bc he was a very inefficient player who couldn’t shoot when drafted. He had physical tools, athleticism, a quick first step, etc. but was a project. It’s possible if taken too high and with high expectations placed on him befitting a high lottery pick he would have busted, specially early…. He was a good gamble later in the draft though.
