Thank you.

from simmons' grantland draft draft blog...
"9:26 -- TRADE! Ric Bucher reports that San Antonio is sending George Hill to Indiana for the rights to Kawhi Leonard. Like it for both teams. Van Gundy's take: "When San Antonio does a deal, I always think they're right." Somewhere, the people watching this draft with Richard Jefferson are sitting in awkward silence."

I updated list to show draftees acquired via trade but it's not much better.
^ Damn, mavericks suck ass when it comes to drafting. Good thing they have cubans deep pockets to make up for it.
2003 Josh Howard (wasn't he traded too)?
I think when it's annotated as (traded), they are talking on draft night. You are right, Josh Howard was traded, and Devin Harris, as well, their only two decent picks over that period.
'Coming Out of the Darko' FTW.
Darko has proven to be a superior long-term prospect - in that the long-term appears to be perpetual. How well did James or Anthony fair as long-term prospects? Not well, considering their immediate impacts on their teams. . .
Chad Ford may not always be right, but overall, it appears to be a good deal for the Spurs and far better than I'd expected this year.
Lol draft grades
32" vertical
Dude has that whole Allen Iverson look. Been working overrtime on his dribbling and perimeter skillz too.
Somebody in the spurs organization better remind him he's 6'7" 225lbs and will probably be playing 1 of the forward positions...lol
lol agenda
the only agenda here is your mission to bump your post count to new ridiculous levels.
Nah, your agenda is to beatify George Hill and on the guy he was traded for even though you've never seen him play.the only agenda here is your mission to bump your post count to new ridiculous levels.
I don't know why you keep calling every opinion of mine "an agenda".
My reasoning and opinions are not an agenda. First off...I'm very skeptical about anyone ESPN calls the "steal of the draft". Secondly, the spurs had a chance to grab Singleton who will be a much more polished player than Leonard and in two years will be a far better overall player than Leonard.
I would have been still butthurt to see Hill go, but a lot less butthurt had the spurs selected Singleton.
He's 19 years old. . . . .
Buddy in the SD area already talking about buying a Spurs jersey. Enjoy this kid
lol thinking you're a scout now
They need to keep Blair awayd from Leonard. Don't want the Human Avatar becoming the Hhuman Fench Fies along side the Human Hamburger.
Do we already know his jersey # number? I mean Leonard.
Well, he's gonna have plenty of time to hang out with Dejuan on the bench, if Pop wouldn't play Splitter last year he sure as isn't gonna play this raw rookie @ barely 20 years old...with no polished offensive skills, no post game, bad agility, bad vertical, for strength (lol 3 bench presses x @ 185lbs).
I like how you bash Leonard for having a crappy offensive game and then say you wish we had Singleton who has a worse offensive game. All Singleton does well is shoot spot-up 3's and play defense. After all the complaining about the Spurs relying too much on the 3, you'd rather have another 3-point shooter over a guy who attacks the rim and scores off putbacks?
Also re: Splitter let's not forget that he was set to be a rotation guy from day 1 until he hurt himself and fell into Pop's dog house. Same with Anderson. Pop is willing to give rookies a chance, but if they hurt themselves he seems to hold it against them to the detriment of the team.
