Maybe they would have kept it if Nick Smith Jr. was still there. Anyway, it's not a night to hang your head about a 2RP. It's Wembanyama Day!
Bruh.
Don't love it with Rupert on the board.

On a night we got Wemby, Spurs somehow managed to piss me off. Seriously? Rupert/Amari Bailey/Colby Jones/Andre Jackson would’ve all been great. Why the do we need another two 2nd rounders???
So much talent sitting there. Ugh. I guess we really just dont think its better than what we already have occupying roster spots. Not sure how i feel about this, we already have too many future picks.
Yea that’s what the Spurs need, MOAR future seconds.
In a way I understand it. The Spurs liked the depth of last year and used their picks to get that depth rather than getting picks for this year. Them selling this pick was more likely than them selling 44 (though that can still happen). I felt like the draft sort of broke in their favor, but given how they didn't make any of the available moves to climb up, I think they just didn't like folks past the very top.
This increases the odds of the Spurs bringing back a lot of the bottom half of their roster. Though as I mentioned, it might also be an indicator that the team is willing to spend on free agents. Just seems dumb to keep kicking cans down the road when the roster crunch is only likely to get worse.
Well, I don't get it at all. The team has way too many SRPs as it is and there's clearly talent available.
I only hope they have a plan for the PG spot.
holt saw how much the lakers paid to move up in the seconds and now he just wants to stockpile more 2s
what a lazy and unimaginative use of their draft capital. They’ve just been on the sauce since winning the lottery. Meanwhile the mavs are sharks and getting what they want
Can’t believe I just sat here for 3 hours waiting for that pick just to get cucked by the Spurs
Should've known tbh.
It's hard to imagine either of those future seconds being a better player than whoever ends up being available at #33 tonight. But I guess the Spurs just didn't like what they saw, or feared a short term roster glut.
With so many future seconds already in their pocket this just doesn't make sense. Maybe the Spurs can get in on a reverse Josh Richardson or Gary Payton II trade where they send out a bunch of seconds for someone they really want now?
They already have enough young talent is my thinking. Probably going to use those picks as capital I guess.

Sources: The Wolves are sending the Spurs their 2028 2nd rounder and Utah's 2026 second-rounder to get 33.
Minnesota have a couple of juicy Utah seconds, hope it's at least one of them included.
It wasn't that surprising they didn't want another rookie on the roster. If they think someone like Champagnie, or someone else they have rights to, is a better prospect than those available at 33 then it makes sense to keep them.

I think the plan is to “see what they have,” find out it’s not great, go 29-53, and draft in the lottery again to get a second star.
Winning the lottery and getting Wemby made me forget for a bit that at the end of the day, this is a cheap ass organization with an unimaginative front office.
This dumbass team will probably end up bringing back Dieng and KBD to take up valuable roster spots.
Not moving up was already joke, trading away #33 is an absolute clown show
Seems weird.
Just a stupid deal around tbh. We literally have 20 SRP‘s over the next 6 years. The last thing we need are more SRP’s. There were still a handful of good prospects that would’ve been available at 33. Spurs are in no position to be turning away potential legitimate talent unless they have a trade or something else lined up. That was dumb.
Those seconds are going to be in the 40s or possibly worse.
What was the deal with Amari Bailey? I never got a sense of why he wasn't valued at all. I can see passing on Rupert. He kind of does the same things Blake Wesley does.
Should also be a lesson to folks who want the Spurs to horde their firsts. They haven't been able to get good value for their picks when they don't want to draft. They are much more likely to package them for a bunch of meh future value or sell them than use them on decent players. You have to trust their ability to know who they want in a draft, but their overall asset management doesn't look great so far.
It's like they were looking for Strawther or something and bailed when he was gone.
And what's the deal with Leonard Miller? Why did he drop?

At least the picks are pushed out in the future and they both could be pretty high.Jon Krawczynski jonKrawczynski

Obviously not a huge deal in the big picture but I would have expected at least three SRPs for 33.
It's like a nit in a poker tournament. It's okay to be patient to an extent, but eventually you have to take some risks or you'll be blinded off. In this case that means stuck with a ton of seconds and no roster space for them.
Please let them sell 44 for cash. That would validate my hate boner for this FO since they phoned in "Wembanyama" 3 hours ago
