ATL forcing WAS to trade for 1 with Sarr smokescreen.
SAS forcing ATL to not pick Zacch with Clingan smokescreen.

ATL wants one of their picks back, SAS saying no, ATL threatening picking Zacch for a trade down with POR at 7, SAS saying Cling Kong won't last till 7.

Nice!!!! Glad the Spurs are at least doing their due diligence on the best player in this draft. I did kind of like the narrative that Buzelis was a secret target and they didn’t work him out to conceal that haha! When you are drafting this high though it’s best to get all the information you can

Believe it or not, some people here believe that if it was never reported, it never happened. Like the only sighting of Buford being in France means that was the only scouting he did on all players

-Outside of Carter, the other player Spurs sources are raving about is Ja’Kobe Walter. Multiple sources say the Baylor product shot extremely well in his Spurs workout.

Oh just kill me if this happens

Buzelis gang mount up!

Buzelis and Walter for the spurs

[Mr. Body]

Buzelis and Walter for the spurs

I'd take this over Salaun and Topic.

[DAF86]

Early reports had the Spurs highly interested in Castle and now reports are quiet on Castle, very odd for the spurs to sudenly go quiet on Castle.

Probably because of how much Carter shat on him during workouts, tbh.

[mo7888]

I'd take this over Salaun and Topic.

Me too

[spurraider21]

I'd take this over Salaun and Topic.

i probably would too, especially since i think Salaun is tantamount to throwing the pick away

[Splits]

I'd take this over Salaun and Topic.

Just devilish to think of any of these 4 ending up on this team. But yeah, Salaun in my #1 Avoid Big Board so I guess this would be going from an F- to an F

Give me Reed + Castle PLEASE

HOU trade out of 3 for a team that wants Clingan, Spurs get Reed at 4 and trade 8 for 5 to secure Castle with him. MAKE IT HAPPEN

[Seventyniner]

Give me Reed + Castle PLEASE

HOU trade out of 3 for a team that wants Clingan, Spurs get Reed at 4 and trade 8 for 5 to secure Castle with him. MAKE IT HAPPEN

That's about the only way the Spurs can get both Reed and Castle. I don't mind it depending on what the Spurs have to give up to move from 8 to 5.

[Mugen]

Nah throwing the pick away would be picking Clingan and keeping him. Not something I'd put past BWrong tbh.

I’d be elated with this too, but it ain’t happening tbh. I don’t see anyone trading up to 3 for Clingan. Much more likely somebody trades up to picks 5 or 6 for him if it’s going to happen. Just don’t buy the “Clingan going top-3” narrative. Think it’s all part of smokescreen season to see if teams will bite on a trade-up, but it’s highly unlikely.

[BatManu20]

I do think there will be at least one trade in the lottery tbh. Maybe Memphis, who knows. Either way I think it’ll happen, and it may not even be for Clingan.

[DPG21920]

Another plausible scenario maybe?

SA trades 4 + CHA pick + 35 + maybe 2 more 2nds for pick 1 and SA takes Reed. This allows ATL to comfortably do the trade and SA pay less as if ATL truly wants Risacher or Clingan, they can guarantee that by SA taking Reed 1 and WAS taking Sarr 2. So ATL gets one of their 2 guys and pays much less and gets some extra draft capital too.

Then when the draft goes: Reed to SA, Sarr to WAS, Clingan/Risacher to HOU and Clingan/Risacher to ATL, SA then trades 8 + 3 2nds (or 1 future heavily protected first) to DET for pick 5 and takes Castle.

Spurs come away with Reed + Castle.

If SA can trade 4 for pick 1 and takes Reed it can happen. ATL would still then be guaranteed Clingan or Risacher at 4 as long as WAS sticks to taking Sarr.

[playblair]

How is Castle their smokescreen if they've literally said nothing about Castle.

timvp literally has pics celebrating in the locker room with tim duncan after a championship..........

[offset formation]

I'd take this over Salaun and Topic.

in their current states?

[Uriel]

I’m beginning to feel like this draft is everyone thinks no one knows what’s really gonna happen on draft night because of all the posturing and the smokescreens, and then come draft day itself, the picks go exactly as expected.

[mudyez]

Everything, everywhere and all at once.

But surely Castle. (even though I'd prefer Reed).
