They might actually be in Charlotte or wherever if it played out differently.
Timmy has suffered the biggest injustice in history of sports.
Everyone always talks about the dynasty led by the best coach ever with a team full of great players, but the truth is that Spurs would be on Hornets level if 1997 lottery played out differently.

Are we fawning over wrights moves or ridiculing him at every turn? You guys are comical.
dont see tyler kolek in there...does that mean he can be got in the second round![]()
In this draft everything is possible lol..But if he is and we do not pick a PG for me it would be between him and Pacome Dadiet who has been playing really well lately for German team.
That's what I thought![]()
Bobcats came in through clutch with win at Indiana.
Need Blazers to win tonight and 3 way tie for 3rd worst record at Sactown but Kings have everything to play for with 6th seed on line.
I'd imagine 3 way coin flip will win that slot, but looking at coin flip for 4th slot. ̶P̶i̶s̶t̶o̶n̶s̶ ̶h̶a̶v̶e̶ ̶c̶l̶i̶n̶c̶h̶e̶d̶ ̶w̶o̶r̶s̶t̶ ̶r̶e̶c̶o̶r̶d̶ ̶s̶o̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶i̶r̶ ̶p̶l̶a̶y̶e̶r̶s̶ ̶s̶h̶o̶u̶l̶d̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶p̶l̶a̶y̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶a̶l̶l̶ ̶o̶u̶t̶ ̶a̶g̶a̶i̶n̶s̶t̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶S̶p̶u̶r̶s̶.̶. ***NVM they are tied too.
Very unlikely Blazers win, but if the Spurs lose to Detroit they're guaranteed a 2/3-way tie for 3rd worst record. Go Pistons!
Unbelievable that a season this bad, that for so long looked like it'd at least yield a top 3-4 pick and probably a top 7-8 one, is likely going to end up with just a top 5-6 one.
The hope is that the league's rigging pays off again (they do have a vested interest in seeing Wembanyama on a successful team sooner than later) and/or the "basketball gods" smile on them (even if they did "soft" tank at the end, there's far more egregious examples throughout the league).
Granted, my read has long been that if they couldn't select Risacher, which always seems unlikely, it'd be either Williams or Buzelis, so if that's right then this probably won't change anything anyway.
Blazers aren't winning. They sat all their players. Have sights set on drafting Sarr.
If the Blazers draft Sarr will that complete your metamorphosis to a full time Portland fan?
Spurs FO knows the rules everybody plays with, it was very easy to tank a couple of the last 10 games to ensure #3 seed, they just pissed it away and now have to pray fortune smiles upon us or those drafting before us mess up. No need for that tbh.
It's not as simple as that. If we tie for 4th they will add the 4th and 5th place chances together and divide them evenly. They then flip a coin to slot the initial draft order and take the extra lottery chance if the total number of chances was an odd number.
No but they will have some good players.
Yep, if the spurs don't get lucky they can find themselves falling to sixth or seventh and watching some of their targeted players go off to other teams.
Portland had no problem making sure they had no chance to win.
A point on Spurs 2024 picks:
Spurs first round pick:
There is a 42% odd of Spurs getting a top4 pick with about 10.5% for each pick.
If Spurs don't get lucky, Spurs pick will likely be between #6 and #8
Raptors first round pick:
Spurs have a 54% odd of getting the pick.
If they get the pick, it will likely be #7 or #8.
Spurs second round pick:
it will be #35.
Lakers second round pick:
It will be between #46 and #48 depending on coin flips between Lakers, Pacers and Magic.
Raptors could actually have a good draft if they keep the 6th and then they pick up Pacers 18th and also Detroits 2nd round pick:
6th - Castle/Clingan
18th - Yves Missi/ Ware/Devin Carter
31st - Ulrich Chomche/Tyler Kolek/ Kyshawn George
100% wrong. They flip a coin to determine pre lottery order. That’s it. There is no adding and dividing. One team gets the ball combinations for 4, and one team gets the ball combinations for 5. Then the lottery happens.
slobbing that wright lib
You obviously aren’t thinking as usual….
MAGA logic = contextualizing one's role is "slobbing on ".
S bag bigot has no problem if you're a minority who plays for his local team, but outside of the arena it's fine to treat them like second class citizens at best.
low IQ lib thinks because I think brian wright is a ty gm means I like trumps dumbass
You are in fact, a rider for a gm
MAGA thinks because I called him that it automatically means I'm a "lib".
I could careless about Wright and he may well be a " GM", he's just not the lead decision maker or the one with autonomy and continuing to pretend otherwise only leads to one obvious conclusion.
Is there even a starter in this draft?
