They have VanFleet to do all that. I don’t see any obvious need so they should be in the best player available mindset.
Im not surprised at all if they go with these 2..spurs way drafting international players

Spurs were rumored to be high on Amen Thompson. Might be a trade possibility there if Detroit wants a player at 4.
Spurs options are off the charts this draft.
If the Spurs keep both picks, they will get 2 of the top 8 players. That's the best outcome in this draft that I could foresee.
Houston will likely look for potential Wemby kryptonite and grab Clingan. If not, I wonder if the Spurs look at him? Seems tougher and bigger than Collins.
Spurs shy away from athleticism
I think Spurs will promise #4 to Risacher. He and his agent will do their part to make it happen by not working out with teams.
Hawks should pick Sarr at #1. Wizards should go with a PG or Clingan at #2. The issue is Rockets at #3...
Yep. I like Sheppard a lot. But it feels good to be able to go BPA.
Where Buzelis lands is gonna be interesting. Those workouts could really show something. He could go 2. I don't think he goes Houston with JBS there. Detroit seems like a possibility. He may still be there at 8. It's a big swing.
I'd really think about him before Risacher.
Presuming the Hawks go Sarr at 1 and the Spurs are interested in Risacher, why would the Wizards, early in their re-build, not go with him, shop him to them for 4 + and still have their pick of Topic, Dillingham or possibly Clingan?
Wemby gets what he wants I suppose.
Assuming the Hawks select Sarr with the #1 pick -- what would be necessary for the Spurs to trade for him?
I'm not asking for opinions whether the Spurs should trade for him, or what anyone thinks of him as a Spur. I'm asking opinions on what would be the necessary package to acquire him, assuming the Hawks draft him.
Does #4 + #8 get it done?
#4 + Keldon?
#4 + Vassell?
Other?
If the Spurs pick Topic over Dillingham I‘ma throw my TV off the balcony
Dont be surprise if they do, spurs like to pick international players
Just watched knecht highlights, i think he's par with risacher as a prospect.
Who do you see the Rockets' picking? What does the fanbase want?
Guards: Dillingham, Sheppard, Topic.
Wings: Risacher, Buzelis, Knecht.
Our draft should stay among those 6 names, imho.
Unless the Hawks are super high on him, #4 and #8 should definitely get it done. That might be an overpay, though.
Why is Risacher worth trading up for?
Debatable, I'm just saying it's easy to envision the Spurs having interest.
At the very least, Dillingham and Topic have clearly not been their preferred archetype of lead guard.
Just to play devil's advocate, what about trading #4 to Portland for 7 and 15? In a supposedly "flat" draft I would think that makes a lot of sense. But it probably depends on who SA and POR are high on.
In this league you need shooting. Size is secondary based on the success of smaller dynamic guards in this league. Anyhow, I'm excited.
VanVleet I thought was only under contract for one more season unless I'm remembering things wrong
Being able to dump him and move on with a cheaper option makes sense.
Would you trade #4 and #8 for role players such as Herb Jones and/or Naz Reid? I would, tbh.
The question is do Pelicans/Wolves accept such trades? If not, would they accept both lottery picks in exchange for their elite role players? Would that be an overpay for the Spurs?
Sheppard, Topic, maybe Clingan. Really like those 3.
Unfortunately, not going to happen. Naz Reid will stay for one more year he's got left on his cheap deal.
Just before the lottery, there was a report saying that NOLA wants to move Ingram who's on an expiring deal.
