rox up by one with less than a minute left... jalen green just dribbles out 23 seconds of the shot clock doing nothing then turns the ball over leading to a herro 3. holy these guys are pros
rockets 13-42 pending outcome of tonight's game
spurs 14-42
pistons 15-42
hornets 15-42
Rockets lose on an out-of-bounds lob pass with 0.7 seconds left…. Second game in a row they’ve lost on a blown defensive assignment. These guys are expert tankers tbh
Jalen Green is a pile of steamy sh!t, despite Houston's last play. Devonte Graham >>> Jalen Green. Maybe next season we can flip Devonte for Green + assets.
Pistons

Hornets

If the lottery decides 1-4, doesn't it make sense to aim for the worst record still, which guarantees the 5th pick at worst, vs 2nd worse gets 6th, and so on...?
For sure. But it’s not AS big of a deal since you get same odds at top picks. But ya all else being equal it would be great to be limited to pick 5 at worst.
surprised Wemby's team won, they were down like 30 points in the first quarter. Defensively he has to work on a couple of things, the guy bites on every pump fake
That would be a waste. They don’t seem to develop players well, and they currently have only a 4.5% chance.
What savior is there at 5, but not 7?
Whomever your target is, it doesn't hurt to keep 2 teams from taking him in front of your face.
And if you're not sold on anyone in particular, gives you better chances at extracting value via trading back.
So yeah, it matters.
I think the funniest think to happen, the spurs win the lottery, but at the 4 slot, and houston get 5. Do it Silver
That wouldn’t be funny at all. It would suck getting #4.
I've said it before, but the wage structure of top picks is pretty high. It's something we haven't experienced in a long time. For stars, it's less of a big deal, but if you whiff on a player it can really hurt. Even if you semi-whiff, it can hurt. Houston has a potentially good role player on their hands in Jabari Smith, Jr. But they have to pay him a top pick salary.
Not saying the Spurs would rather have a #6 pick than a #4 pick, but if they think they can get their tier of player, they would. That could matter in a draft where things get super dodgy after the top two.
Charlotte game on Wednesday is going to be a Tank-off. Battle to the bottom.
14-44
I only see 6 games left that the Spurs will be favored to win.
So that's 20-62... I think same record that got them Duncan so that's a good sign
2023 NBA Mock Draft: Victor Wembanyama goes No. 1 to Spurs in first projections following trade deadline

Are we really getting just one first round pick in the next draft ? I thought we had more than that. I mean, I’d be thrilled to land the first pick of course, but if we don’t get neither the first or the second, that would suck.
If Charlotte were to go incandescently white hot, and make the playoffs, we’d get their pick, but they’re tanking, and the pick is 1-16 protected.
I can understand Miller at #3, He's my man for now after the big 2. I see great potential as a complete 2 way player, with spurs as a perfect environment to develop him as such. Good consolation prize if spurs miss out on Victor and Scoot. , I might prefer him over Scoot, since we have Sochan as a great playmaker.
So pick Scoot at 2, and maybe try to trade down for 3 and whatever or trade up for 3 if Miller is still there (probably much harder even if we have bunches of FPRs to give). I also can see Cam Whitmore climbing up the list from 8 to top 5...

Ok, thanks. That sucks indeed.
Actually may work out best that pick defers to next year… 3frp’s would be right nice!!
