Spurs Select Rob Dillingham 8th Overall in the 2024 NBA Draft

[offset formation]

I hope Dillingham drops 50 on our ing heads every time we play Minnesota tbh.

Not enough balls to go around. KAT and Ant will already do 90 on us

And what is even worse is that half of you think Castle is a good pick. I'm pretty much with Nate Duncan, who in the last week put Castle last on all the prospects they scouted including behind Dillingham and said if the Spurs took Castle it would be a disaster because he couldn't think of a worse fit. Russillo predraft was laughing at the idea of the Spurs repeating their point guard experimental failure from last year

This was a disaster of draft night

The issue with the idea of stacking picks to trade for a star is we just saw how much that costs, and it's way too much. The Spurs got one fifth of a lesser-star package for a top-10 pick. It's not a good trade. Literally taking the best prospect on the board and hoping they become a good player would have made more sense for that purpose.

yup one of these players could have easily turned into a Bridges type player. The 2031 pick likely wont even be top 10. We got fleeced. Atleast make Wolves pay and get two legit first rounders and not swaps.

Every ingbody is clowning PATFO. I hope this becomes a Worldwide thing and these ers take notice.

His post draft comment that someone posted earlier is troubling on two fronts

1) the idea that it's "usually a good idea to add future draft capital" can be extended to infinity, where we never actually add players or use the assets - we just trade them for more assets down the road! Yay! That actually renders the assets as worthless. These assets only have as much value as can be monetized into actual players.

2) the idea that we have a lot of young talent already that we need to build around. This suggests that they viewed adding more talent as a distraction to the talent they already have... seemingly unaware that we don't actually have that much talent! A truly stunning lack of self-awareness.

Seems like a weak return for the 8th pick but not sure I blame them for not wanting yet another 19 year old.

whats wrong with a 19 yo phenom. Man people are so dumb here just like PATFO. It takes 5 first rounders to get a non all star like bridges. You make the pick at 8. There were several good players. These idiots fell into the trap that this is a bad draft. They will see in a few years how wrong they were.

Why is that clear to folks like us, rando basketball fans, and not to a guy getting paid millions of dollars?

No he's not. We have multiple years now of this behavior. At least this year it's 1st round draft capital. Heretofore BWright liked getting SRP stockpiled

to play devils advocate, we have no clue what the 2031 draft looks like. But we know 2024 is historically weak. Odds are it wouldn’t get much worse than this one.

devils advocate over

problem is that wolves pick may end up in the mid or late 20s for all we know. I’ll take #8 now over the randomness of that. Especially on a team devoid of talent.

i also have no clue what happens now with the mavs swap in 2030. Should have swapped a different year at the very least

There’s planning for the future, and there’s just kicking the can down the road.

2030 and 2031? The Spurs won’t see a net benefit for 7 YEARS???? Whoever they draft just started middle school.

Or perhaps you're looking at it through a sniffer lens?

There's bound to be someone #8 or below who turns out to be an all-star. Spurs will be 100% clowned for this, especially by its fan base.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Love this trade. I wanted both picks traded out of this horrible draft, but one will do.

Having an unprotected pick from a dysfunctional organization is going to be great value when the Spurs go trade hunting. The swap is alright too.

Or perhaps just be more positive and stop reading in between the lines.

But that's just unfair. Because there will be a butler or Joker etc. You can't just say that.

I'll stick to being real, you're free to be optimistic all you like.

Been my mindset for months, but I'm also cool that they drafted Castle.

[Splits]

who in their right ing mind trades a known quan y 8 pick for an unknown quan y pick in 6 years? this is so ing atrocious from a value perspective. you could get like 3 SRP from this year through 28 with better value. Nobody even knows what the CBA or what pre-teens are going to be doing in 2030. what in the actual just happened?

Not a fan of non shooters. I'm fed up with : let's hope in 4 years he'll be an average shooter, or thereabouts. But hope I'm wrong about the kid. At least he comes with an NBA body and will almost certainly be a positive defensively from the off. Don't think he's going to be a PG either.

Dude. They charge like $225 / seat now to sit anywhere near Courtside. Trustful positivity is long gone paying those prices to a organization that just built a state of the art training center for their players, have a generational player yet haven't had a winning season in 5 years now.

Being positive requires one to have hope the people making millions of dollars know what they're doing besides lucking into the best player on the planet in any given draft.

good points.

We dont have Talent we have wemby. Vassel is a decent piece and sochan average. KJ is an albatross who dribbles into paint and loses ball. Poor handles and poor three ball. We needed Carter or the colorado kid. Maybe Matas.
