Hey! That's what I've been calling Adam Silver here!
But...
Yeah, Just look at those ears! And that bald forhead, although Nos had some cereal eyebrows...
I got just the nickname for him: Nosferatu

He looks like Mavs legend Charlie Villanueva
He has alopecia. If you make fun of him,he’ll send Will Smith to backhand you.
He looks like a high-effort, high floor role player.
Might be the greatest three and D guy ever if he could shoot (at all).
He looks a bit funny but I'd never call him G.I. Jane.
He looks like he and teammate Anthony Black pooled two heads of hair and made an all or nothing bet.
I was thinking we'd just sell the 44, but if a guy like Walsh is there, I'm definitely interested in grabbing him. Always can use a guy who busts his ass.
Draft and send him to mets92 for a year or two.

Which of these seven combine standouts will we likely draft? Spurs love a good combine showing.
Havent given much thought to him but Seth Lundy could be that super under the radar guy the spurs go for
The GI Jane joke by Chris Rock was because Jada also has alopecia.
It'll be interesting to see if Denver uses their only pick (#40) on the 7'0" Serbian Vukcevic. The guy had a .667 TS% and shot 40% from three this year in Europe.
Im not sure exactly but I think Denver just traded for pick 37 according to Woj, weird kinda swapping pick trade between okc and denver
Denver gets a decent SRP and a mid FRP, and only has to return a protected FRP in 2029. Depending on the protections for the return pick, it looks like a pretty even trade that allows Denver to grab some cheap talent to keep their window open for a few years. OKC gets to flatten their FRP curve by pushing a 2024 FRP all the way to 2029. Look for the Spurs to maybe do something similar in the next few years if we don't consolidate picks for a better one. We could have three FRPs next year, and I doubt we want three FRPs.
That was kind of the point.![]()
Interesting... so they have 37 and 40 now. There must be someone they really like and think is available in that range. Vukcevic could make sense, especially if Jokic has expressed an interest in having him. Either way, loading up on inexpensive 2nd round guys with potential is a great strategy for a team that's already great and only needs bench help.
He'd be great at 44 but not at 33. Too many guys with a bit more talent are available at 33. Like you said. we might also trade the 44th pick for a future 2nd, so any thing is possible. Pop does love those all hustle type guys no matter what their limitations are, so if we kept the pick Walsh would be a decent selection.
From Woj: "NBA Finals trade: The Denver Nuggets are acquiring the least favorable of Oklahoma City's first-round picks in 2024, the 37th pick in the 2023 draft and 2024 second-round pick for a protected 2029 first-round, sources tell ESPN."
Sounds like a pretty great deal for Denver, though I don't see what the protection is on the 2029 FRP from them. I guess Presti is hoping that a 34 year old Jokic isn't too good, which doesn't seem like all that great a bet to me.
Teams are allowed to have 3 two way contracts with the new CBA. Spurs' plan for pick #44 might be to draft a player who is fine with being on that kind of contract.
I’m intrigued by Walsh. Mostly by his defensive prowess, work ethic, and ridiculous athleticism. I feel like SRPs need to be fairly relentless to survive and make the most of their inherent challenges to get playing time. But who do you like more at 33?
Rando tweet from Piston fan
Don't want the Bagley contract but interesting
killian hayes is ass though
still very young, but already 3 years into his 4 year rookie deal and hasnt showed enough imo
Lets do it. Bad %FG can be improved. See FT%.
Tre Jones is straight up better than Killian Hayes.

Don’t want either of them.
I really wouldn't be surprised if someone grabs Walsh in the early 2nd round. The round is normally pretty wild and he's great on one side of the floor. Not everyone has even that.
But I'd say for the 33 you're looking at players who tumble slightly out of the 1st round. Often those are upperclassmen who have ready-made skills. Or projects with significant (if not incredible) upside. Or dudes who just slip. Like... Tre Jones, for the stick he takes on this board, was a steal at 41.
