Not nicer than our night and that’s what matters the most.
"hoping"? The Spurs could have gotten Rupert with 33 but traded it away, could have easily and cheaply traded for any 2nd rounder (lost count of how many trades there were) and didn't. Evidently they don't think much of Rupert, so "hoping" doesn't seem to fit reality here.

Spurs maintain stated priority of franchise flexibility and add to the future draft captial treasure chest.Dumping out of the 2nd round makes me think the FA period will be active for SA. Keeping those roster slots open. Could end up being better than anything that could've happened draft night anyway.Also wonder if Cissoko agreed to a stash rights or Two-Way deal with #44 which may have been the only appeal SA had left after Victor #1 all along.
They're basically daring him to ask for a trade. Trading him forcibly wouldn't be a good look, so they're just hoping to force him to demand it and look like the good guys for accommodating it.
100% he's moving on tbh.
Not sure where you got this info from. The ACL doesn't prevent bone on bone, it provides stability, so it sounds like you're making up. Blair had commitment issues, conditioning issues and drug issues, but no knee issues. He played in Austin a few years ago. He was washed up but his knees were fine.
Houston with Amen and (steal of the draft) Whitmore? Damn
I wouldn't want Chris Paul, but I'd be okay with Lillard.
Since the pay scale isn't staggered in the 2nd round I don't see POR robbing the Spurs hopes of Rupert falling to 44. There is no added advantage to letting a guy avail at 33 fall to 44. Unless that drop coerced them into agreeing to a more franchise favorable Two-Way or something maybe?
33 was the chance to grab any of those guys if they wanted and they didn't so I don't feel too bad after all.
Guess that is the indication of SA being at a developmental capacity maxout now. Hope they go after some established players in free agency now.
I wonder if Sacramento would have drafted Kris Murray had Portland not taken him one pick before.
Kinda curious to see how Ausar Thompson fits into the core of Jade/Cade/Duren
I was shocked that Pickett went 32. I really thought he would be there at 44 or even as a UDFA.
Yeah sucks we might have been 1 slot off from the Murray Bros at SAC not sure if that fits or was on the Kings board even or if you want bros on the same team. Kinda cool though that you get a Murray bros Pacific division Northwest division regional rivalry going now between SAC and POR.
Do you want to pay close to 100 mil in two years that Spurs are not even contending? He’d 35 after that.. nahI wouldn't want Chris Paul, but I'd be okay with Lillard.
I'll guess, but im a moron, that 33 you kind of HAVE to give them a guaranteed deal, and the Spurs didn't like any that were there and thought them worthy of a guarantee. Cissoko will take a 2 way, and prob be up in January hes that good.
Great value.
Rockets are going to be fun to watch. Only one player on the team who knows how to play basketball and it's the guy who speaks Turkish.
Feels like Ime could do something with HOU. Lotta knuckleheads but super athletic team if you can corral the madness like Udoka perhaps could? Amen and Cam is a pretty heisty draft night down in H-Town adding to Green/Sengun/Jr/Eason but can the locker room stay level?

Trayce Jackson-Davis still available…wow
if Jackson-Davis goes undrafted, the Spurs HAVE to pounce on that. he would be a clear upgrade to Bassey at the back up 5.
wizards just snatched him up
Damn, Warriors trade to get TJD. Really nice move by them IMO.
Stash? The guy already plays for Ignite. But Spurs have that 3rd 2way. I guess he gets that. He develops more and plays some with the big club and see. He’s a big defensive combo guard 6’8” and can facilitate. He could be the defensive PG they’re looking for by the end of the day at #44th pick! Spurs did it again.
agree T Park that 33 is basically a late first and there might've bee a disconnect between the level of commitment/guarantee a player expected there and SA's vacancy or lack thereof to oblige or inclination to be impressed enough with anyone avail to make the room for them if they could.
I think TJD is going to the Suns, which is superb for them. Get the off Ayton.
