The draft layout was horrible. The ESPN broadcast was the absolute worse to listen too. Lacking in professionalism.
the spurs draft was an even bigger show going in with two top ten picks and coming away with a talented kid who struggles to shoot. A slow PG we probably never see. And a 6’5” SF/PF.
way to help Wemby out. What joke.

Pop needs to retire. And wright needs to go away. We are going to waste a talent like Wemby because of these clowns
Spurstalk Before The Draft: "What a weak draft"
Spurstalk After The Draft: " PATFO for giving up on some many obvious future all stars!"
Yup, but I think it pretty much boils down to the Dillystans who are still butthurt, though.
Very few Topic, William, or Carter enthusiasts still ing about passing on those guys at 8.
You're thinking on this is one-dimensional.
The Spurs build through the draft because they have to build though the draft. It's their only option.
Players aren't lining up to come to San Antonio like they are Boston, L.A., Chicago, or N.Y.
Stocking up better draft picks for the future gives them flexibility.
And less injured...
I would have gone for Knecht or Carter as useful role players. That is still building slowly. I understand all the future picks coming in but those are good problems to have.
My gripe about this is that the spurs are stockpiling on other teams draft picks because it gives them the ability to get good young players in the future even if they become a good team. With that logic in place, the spurs should start building up their team with their own high draft picks now such that they can develop into a good team, and still has the ability to extend their contending window with good cheap young talent. Right now, I don’t see the spurs as developing a good team, they need shooting at PG and SF (maybe even PF), a backup centre and maybe a backup SG. None of these were addressed. For the record I like castle and felt he was the best pick available, but Williams could’ve been the answer at SG and Furphy could be an intriguing piece. Instead we got a swap on a swap that is 6 years down the road and a pick 7 years down the road, and then cash for the owners and a guy who will likely never play for the spurs.
They are running the team like sarver, and this cheaping out with cost the team. I’m unhappy about the currrnt situation but am holding out hope a trade or signing will come up.
I want hartenstein, Lopez, quickley. Make it happen PATFO.
Outside of these events I don't have to watch ESPN and Steven A Smith since I live outside the USA, however I have to say the guy is stupid, loud, obnoxious... unbearable. Watching the dude speak for a couple of minutes makes my head hurt. Can't believe he's the star of a huge sports network.
Yeah, the Topic that plays in slow motion and is a career 56.7% FT shooter, as opposed to 90%. With those handicaps he has a much tougher path to success in the NBA than many other players available at 35, including Furphy.
Disney has run ESPN so far into the ground that they're considering spinning it off to get rid of it. Story of everything Disney lately, streaming, Marvel, Star Wars. Eventually they start putting out such ty, lazy product that it doesn't work anymore. Turns out idiots shouting at each other isn't a great model, not to mention their terrible broadcast teams.
Steven A Smith is atrocious. But he really is a perfect representation of American culture and media these days: stupid, loud, obnoxious? Yeah, that's America!
As Chuck said, there's a reason y'all are on TV early in the morning when everyone's asleep.

That Uncle Tom is exactly what you just described Screamin' A as.
To be fair, I don’t think Stephen A Smith is really stupid, loud, and obnoxious in real life. I think he just plays that character on TV because he knows that’s what gets the ratings. But in interviews in other places outside ESPN, he actually comes across as rational and articulate, much to my surprise from having only seen him previously on ESPN.
Relistening to the Game Theory podcast live stream from Rd 1 and their immediate thought when Dillingham got to traded to MIN was that we were getting Naz. Ouch.
Exactly why he is ESPNs number one guy. I dont care for him either "screaminAsmith"
BINGO!!!
It's more like:
Spurstalk Before The Draft: What a weak draft
Spurstalk After The Draft : Wait you traded a top 10 pick so that you can draft somebody who is currently in 6th to 8th grade? You mean you had a month to figure out what to do with this pick and this is the best you could come up with? Yikes.
Fascinating tidbit coming out now...
Apparently Filipowski slipped to the second round because of some weird situation where he has an older girlfriend (he's 20, she's 28) who has caused him to be estranged from his family. Apparently he hasn't had any contact with his family for two years.
Speculation that maybe this situation caused some teams to pass.
Here's a story on it: https://www.sbnation.com/nba/2024/6/...raft-utah-jazz
Players not good enough to take a flyer on with a 2nd round pick:
Hope it doesn't come to bite us in the ass.
Not much of a flex on ST when the FO picked two guys from the second round of that weak draft. By that logic they should have sold or traded away everything after Castle.
