**The Official 2025 NBA Draft Day Thread**

This ing guy ...

Definitely trying to get to Brooklyn

[poopbox]

Maluach is the only player that really excites me when it comes to the possibility of getting him. I would trade up for him honestly. Spurs would have the best interior defensive tandem in the NBA. I feel like his intensity would rub off on the players around him as well. Every second he is on the floor he's playing with bad intentions on both ends and in transition.

100% chance we get stories on Thursday about how the Spurs spent all week trying to move up to get Maluach but in the end teams were demanding Sochan as part of any trade package and the Spurs just couldn't bring themselves to do it

From the time we drafted Lonnie until now we always get a "Spurs tried to move up but" story the day after the draft

[RC_Drunkford]

If we get a wing that's expected to be in the rotation right away, someone has to go.

Fox/Castle/Harper at guard positions with some minutes for Vassell as SG.
Vassell/Keldon/Champ/Jeremy/Barnes with 96 minutes available + leftover minimal SG minutes.

Even if we don't get a wing, someone has to go.
Champ and Barnes are the only two who are a seamless fit with our guards.
Devin is also a decent fit if not for giving up too much size.

If we get Coward he'd be expected to contribute right away, but who's the odd man out?

1. Branham
2. Wesley

that's it. That's the list.

I hope the Jazz draft him to set his ass straight. What is he doing to do? Sit out?

Tbh, your belief that noone will get traded is a good thing because you're way off the mark with most of your trade predictions.

I think there is a lot of smoke to this. 2 workouts and trying to sign Royal Ivey who's South Sudan's headcoach? I still don't expect us to land him. cause moving up costs to much.

[RC_Drunkford]

Really don't understand the Sorber hype at all. Seems like a slightly more mobile Roy Hibbert. Doesn't address the need for shooting - which will become more acute once we get Harper. If Coward is there and they take Beringer or, even worse, Sorber, it won't be good.

Hibbert was a DPOY runner-up. I take that any day.

Would you pick him up if he dropped at #14? He’s a positional need and could be a strategy to pair with buddy Dylan.

If so he could turn up to be a Spurs

[pRoshi]

We made it to draft day men, super excited to see what happens after the 2nd pick. I'm about to have my own New York style pizza party for this .

[Mugen]

Givony's final mock draft has the Spurs taking Beringer at #14 with Coward and Sorber still on the board.

That'd be a disappointing outcome tbh.

Spurs love getting too cute with their picks so I am expecting them to take Egor Demin at 14

[RC_Drunkford]

So if the Spurs are going to trade up for Maluach who will probably be gone by 10 and is likely to be drafted in the 6-10 range, who can we trade with? I don't see much that WAS, NOP, BKN, or TOR would be interested from us unless you want to cough up future picks. Phoenix needs a big badly so I imagine if he's there at 10 they'll take him

I mentioned in another thread that there was some interest from the Spurs about RJ Barrett. Toronto is definitely trying to move this pick. I just don't see what the they would want from us.

[John B]

26 is a swap, so I don't think doing away for the swap gets you 13. Atlanta's 27 could be interesting, but to be honest I don't see a prospect there that I'm crazy about, so unless the board shakes up in a certain way or it helps you get something else accomplished (say, you give back Atlanta their 27 in in exchange for some other team's future unprotected pick, like Sacramento's) I don't think I would right now (but, again, I could if a specific scenario presents itself).

Would you give up ATL 27 to get #13, and offer both #13 and #14 to move-up to get a Sorber? I would.

With the 2nd pick in 2025 nba draft the san antonio spurs select ace bailey. Lmao

[LeBowen]

Welcome to San Antonio Ace Bailey

Nice avatar.

[John B]

Welcome to San Antonio Ace Bailey

He kept on forcibly moving down, you might suspect he’s trying to team up with Dylan. He’s positional need. Damn that would be crazy.

But we already have RJ Barrett at home (Keldon)

trust me RJ is world's better than Keldon. And I don't even like him that much.

[RC_Drunkford]

just for fun:

Raptors: White
Celtics: Keldon, #14, ATL 27
Spurs: Barrett, #9

Celtics shave off another 10.5 million, get a cheap player at #14 and a future first.

Spurs get a better Keldon and Maluach.

Well, it's Toronto and they usually want players they don't need or don't fit, so who know...they might value Keldon for all we know..
