Really? Having two of the best perimeter defenders in the league helped the Spurs win games?

We can't stop anyone. If you're doing daily fantasy, just pencil in the other team's best player as one of your picks and you're bound to have a good night.
Somehow the lineup of DJ Murray, White, Derozan, LMA, Bryn Forbes, Mills, and Poetl got us into the playoffs once and two play-in tournament berths, but it's apparent we can't stop anyone. Vegas is having a field day with all of us that picked over on 28.5 wins this season.
I'm already looking forward to the 2024-2025 season and next year's draft. If we get lucky to get a top 5 pick, how many franchise altering players are in this class?
I'm thinking we package the Hornet's pick, the Toronto pick, and next year's 1st round draft pick to move into the top 5 this year so we can grab two top 5 talents.

Is Kevin Tran in this draft? Because that would be at least 1.
I want DJ Wagner or Collier
Spurs will be winning some games next month when the schedule gets earier.
I like Castle. That guy is a beast.
Lamarcus Aldridge might very well be the most under appreciated spur of all time. He carried a rag tag SA team for multiple years, and yet because everyone was still accustomed to the big 3 era of perennial contention, and the delusion that Popovich was a magician, he was seen as an underachiever.
He was a giant loser, tbh... such wasted talent too.
We wasted LMA's prime tbh. Should have traded him and rebuild earlier.
I feel sorry for LMA. He rightly assumed we could continue to roll for the end of the Big 3 era and into the tag team era with neph.
neph turned into a biatch and people got injured.
and he 100% carried this franchise for years longer than we deserved, which unfortunately just extended the rebuild as PATFO tried aimlessly to continue winning. I was late to team tank. And that's because I appreciated the effort LMA gave us.
I've got him very high on my board. Possibly the best PG prospect in this draft....but more importantly, he'd fit like a glove here...
I watched Collier live the other night. Nice player but probably not franchise.
My ridiculously early riser pick is Kentucky’s Rob Dillingham. 6’3” PG, five star recruit, and currently outplaying Wagner, like by a lot. Listed as #22 on the Big Board, and #26 in the Mock at TaT.
We have our franchise player already
Right now I'd rank PGs as 1. Castle 2. Topic 3. Collier. I'd love to get any of those plus Sarr in this upcoming draft.
Castle will be hated by a ton of ST posters, because he’s not fast and flashy. One video watched described him perfectly. He doesn’t get sped up, he just plays at his own pace.
He looks fast to me. You also said Sharpe is not any good so not high on what you say about players.
Sharpe is fools gold. He’s playing 38 ing minutes per game, has a USG of 23, and can likely take any shot he wants on a tanking team, and still doesn’t score 20 per game. His WS/48 is .026.![]()
Castle has a good combination of offense and defense and looks to be able to attack the rim with badly needed athleticism.
Sharpe is good and much better than Sochan.
He’s a ing show pony. There’s no THERE, there.![]()
Agree. Doncic is not the fastest out there by a mile. He sets his own pace.
Presuming you mean perennially MVP or All-NBA caliber, then probably none.
This draft projects as being terrible in terms of elite talent. Of course, you never know. So did '13 and it was mostly true, except for the fact that Antetokounmpo went 15th.
The Spurs have gotten rid of almost every positive impact player recently and the were all rational decisions, but they've got to start being more analytically inclined going forward.
So many of their recent "busts" or those who look on track to be so, ended up being the exact same players as they were projected to be coming out.
LMA can blame Kawhi. He got his shots at rings with Timmy, and even once Duncan left the team was a contender until Kawhi and Uncle Dennis blew the entire thing up.
DeMar proved he was not on the same level as a healthy Kawhi, he and Aldridge simply couldn't operate in the same space and the rest is history.
