I wanted Ron Holland. I mean since we are already making Castle magically become a shooter, imagine if this guy became a shooter. Dude would be unreal as a player.
We’ll keep trading players / picks that doesn’t fit long term for assets as we should! 2030 will be here before you know it .

I also wanted Holland his play kind of reminds me of DeMar
Edey should have been the pick. Backup center is better than a pick 6 years in the future IMO.
After watching the first few episodes of starting 5, I can't imagine Ant staying in Minny until our stuff is up. He will probably end up in LA.
KG 12 years
KAT 8 years
KLove 6 years
Ant 4 years and counting
I don’t see him sticking, either. Gobert, who’s the hub of their defense, is as old as dirt, and when he’s gone, they’re back to first round fodder.
Why are we posting stats about a player the spurs were never interested in in the Spurs forum? Are we going to be posting Bronny stats in here as well?
It reminds me a little bit of the Goran Dragic draft. Didn't the Spurs draft him and trade him (like Dillingham) because the other team wanted him that they were trading to?
It's very similar to that situation and the Dragic trade burned them, somewhat, since they goy bounced (in a sweep) by Phoenix in 2010 partly thanks to him.
Then he went on to have solid and length NBA career.
It wouldn’t have been fair to Wesley
Yeah, I shouldn't have bought it up as I was kind of pissed off that he torched us (I did like his game at the time before he went off in that series - he finally got Nash, Amare and those guys over the Spurs hump - too bad they choked against the Lakers), but the point is, I don't think the Spurs had any interest in drafting him for themselves, did they?
Yup. That one would've never worked even if the Spurs did want to keep him. He was too good to just be a backup to Tony and some team would've snatched him away after year 4.
Zack Edey already doing game winning chit.

Reinforcements coming in 20131 though.
Why were the Spurs not interested in Edey? I thought he was an interesting prospect that was still on the board. Too slow/immobile for what they want to do on defense? Having said that, on offense I think it could have definitely worked. I'm guessing defense is the reason they weren't interested.
Right now it seems like Wemby gets too clogged up next to a big center, so they'd be using a mid-lottery pick on an exclusively bench player.
So far, zero games have counted in the standings, so teams aren’t game planning. As soon as the games count, he will be put in pick and roll after pick and roll after pick and roll, exposing his inability to switch and guard the perimeter. Teams have tried and tried since the 2015 rule change making any attempt to fight through a screen an automatic foul to do the OTHER mismatch, big exploiting small, but numbers never lie, and 3 will always be > 2.
I would personally like Edey on the team to guard bigger, stronger centers. I think he's an upgrade compared to Collins and Bassey
Relistically in the next 5 years or so there is going to be a major superstar at some point that wants out. I'm sure the Spurs FO is thinking ok by then Wemby will hopefully be a top 3 player or the best player in the league and we trade the house 5+ picks and whatever players for whatever big superstar it is. If Dillingham really becomes as good as prime Kyrie then maybe he should've been the pick to invest in (but then he'd also go #1 in every redraft and pretty much everyone was at least somewhat wrong about him.) But the odds are we'll be able to make a run at someone who is a top 10-20 player in the league to put next to Wemby.
We'll definitely be able to make a run, but the question is will it be worth it with CBA in it's current state?
Getting another max player when Wemby's extension kicks in would put us in a bad situation. That other star would have to be worth the money they're getting and not and most all-stars aren't.
For example, yesterday there was a report of Fox rejecting to sign an extension now because he'll be eligible for 345/5 deal next summer if he makes all-NBA this season.
Good player, but nowhere near worth supermax.
With Wemby guaranteed to be the best player in the league, we'll be in a huge advantage since superteams have been dealt with and knowing PATFO they won't waste cap space on an overpaid second option.
We can just hope Devin takes the next step and Castle becomes Jrue 2.0, then we got ourselves Bucks 2.0 at home. With two more FRPs this year.
And plenty more FRPs to trade for elite role players.
If Castle/Devin/'25 FRP/Wemby is the core, with Jeremy and some more pieces being useful off the bench, then trading 2 FRPs for a great role player on team-friendly deal wouldn't be an issue with so many picks available.
And very few teams have FRPs to trade, meaning ours will be even more valuable.
He's going to get smoked in the pick and roll as time goes on because he is to slow and lumbering when he has to guard in space. Pairing him with Wemby would have been a disaster. He's only in Memphis because they have 0 real centers on the roster.
To Rob Dilly experts here why is this guy struggling to score when not guarded by Bronny.
We actually agree on something. No one game plans in the pre season, so he looks great. They’re going to isolate and attack him when it counts. It doesn’t matter if he can overwhelm teams in the paint, because 3 will always be > 2. Do these Edey Stan’s think that zero teams tried the reverse exploit, big over small, after the 2015 rule changes? The best comp IS Boban. He’s a big paint scorer with a nice jumper, and can block shots. His career PER is 25, All star level, so why are his career minutes under 10 per game? He gets played off the floor in any meaningful minutes, leading to a role as a backup change of pace guy and a garbage time minutes eater. I’m not using a lottery pick on that role.
