yup dont see the point to this.Pop will be retired by then,Doubt wright is the gm by then as well.
Agreed Salaun to CHA fits the hole Bridges will leave perfectly to be fair
It's just like Bilal last year another guy Spurs fans admired potentially next to Wemby but went too soon in the draft and probably for the best anyway realistically, as much as I like Bilal and Tidjane
After primo nothing this franchise does surprises me anymore
It’s horrible value. For one, Brooklyn, Washington, Portland, Chicago, and Detroit will be worse, to a high degree of probability. SA will be grouped with the likes of Charlotte, Atlanta, Golden State, LAL, Utah, and Toronto. With the flattened odds, and Wembys probable growth, they could be picking in the late lottery.
Also, when does the tanking stop? 2025? 2026? 2027?
Minnesota has a top 5 talent who’ll be in his prime if/when the pick conveys. That blunts the possibility of the picks being high. And there’s an equal chance of those drafts being as bad as this one - we have no idea what the future looks like.
Punting the additional pick def leaves a con uous roster slot open.
At the end of the day SA got a great player and then got out of the flat draft. We all said it was tough to see value in one 24 lottery pick let alone two. Well now you don't have to worry about that lol
Only one thing makes this okay for me. If 27 was part of the deal - especially if they can grab Isaiah Collier at that spot. He's a legitimate PG, and 6'5". He'll fit. And if they get him plus the draft assets? Yeah, I'll sleep tonight. I still can't believe they passed on Carter and his defense.
I don't think that's going to happen, unless they're also trading for a GM tonight. But they couldn't have announced that deal before the actual pick, so I'll hold out hope for a few more minutes.
Does anyone need to point out that Malaki Branham is more useful this year than every guard in this draft?
They are building threw the draft......but not that draft.....nope not this one.......6 years down the line will be the draft for us!! Another ing year of tanking, y'all know they ain't pulling a big move this summer.
lol all the comments about dadiet, Knicks took him.
feels like some copium but really after scoring Castle who seems very promising for SA I don't know if I liked any other options anyway. We got to 8 I was actually kinda sweating having to take one of these choices:
Buzelis
Dillingham
Williams
Knecht
??? Some interesting names for sure but who there are we really missing out on? Salaun would've been a gamble, they all were gambles. Outside Castle/Risacher/Sheppard I'm not crying about missing any other 2024 draft names.
So Dadiem is gone.
This draft is going . . .
Got the BPA at 4 and traded 8 for two future firsts which I wanted them to do with both picks but managed to get essentially two unprotected firsts just for 8. I'm pretty satisfied tbh.
OKC making moves, not afraid to draft. Gawd imagine if we had Presti as our GM again.
Hypothetically, youd take dilly over dejounte or trae?
This is why fans are fans.
OKC apparently has room for two first-rounders, but the Spurs can't seem to allow compe ion for the dregs of their roster.
I will say Carter/Salaun/Dillingham/Williams in that order wouldn't have been the worst in the world but not going to lose sleep over that level of talent if we opt out
As a sniffer and a disciple of franchise flexibility my faith was a little shaken tonight lol but we can't get hamfisted. So impatient like you all are too and I just want to be done with it so I'm like just grab Dilly but that's how you pint yourself into a corner.
So I guess we are still keeping that powered dry but let me point out that at this point, that's some really ing dry powder in San Antonio lol. Hope FA gets the cannonball lol
Which has the better trajectory, and which one has been stuck in the mud for 10 years?
Yes. He’s a much cheaper, albeit lesser, version of Trae. Dejounte is not a needle mover for me.
OKC flipping five random SRPs for another first. Meanwhile we’ll just keep perpetually selling our SRPs for cash or future SRPs
I wouldn’t be surprised at all if we trade out of 35.
Well passed on Buzelis and Cody Williams. Drafted Dillingham only to trade. If you are team tank this was a great draft. Stephon Castle PG experiment should help the tank. I think he will be useful role player just don’t see him as a PG as of now. Spurs choose to go the route of being a more defensive oriented team. Not having another top ten pick in this draft opens up cap space for the spurs to take on a bad contract and receive even more draft capital. Meh vey lukewarm conclusion to the night, but let’s see how the rest of the off-season goes. Maybe the Spurs are thinking 2025 is their year to strike and go all in. Maybe they saw this as a weak draft and weak free agency I didn’t see a path to success in the West this season. I think they more so punted on this draft than them actually thinking those T-wolves assets having value. Hard to feel positive but it’s going to hard to screw up this process with Wemby.
We didn't get two unprotected first. We got one, and a swap. A swap is not a pick.
It's one thing to punt out of the draft, but this is a straight F on value.
I think salaun was the option they would have stayed put for. Outside of that, I agree. Most of these guys would be pick 20+ in most drafts. This draft is really weak for high draft picks.
I think most people are just bummed they don't have another new toy to watch. Castle is a great investment and could be the best player in the draft as much as anyone else.
I hope you're right, but the same people who seem to think that are the ones who thought Primo was so valuable it was worth suppressing sexual-harassment accusations to protect him. It's getting harder and hard for me to put stock into their ability to identify keepers.
Go and grab ing Collier. Would redeem the stupid trade from 8.
We cannot afford to dig into those Wesley/Bassey minutes.
