And those early second rounders are worth gold...
If the spurs decide to blow it up after a possible Duncan retirement, then Sacramento being willing to deal #8 is a possibility.
Splitter for the junk contracts of Thompson and Williams, when neither is good enough to be a starter, and the #8. Gives the kings a center to pair with cousins at pf.
Maybe this post should be in the trade thread, but I was just curious as to who would be available at #8 that would be worth moving splitter for, provided of course that Sacramento would be interested.
No chance Splitter nets us a lottery pick in this draft. Also his contract gets cheaper year on year, he's a good asset to keep IMO.
I wonder if anyone might like the look of Cory enough to give up a second rounder for him?
Bucks or Sixers might give up #36 or #39 for him. For the sixers its their 4th pick, gotta wonder if they really want to pickup 4 rookies in a single year.
The Spurs need to keep Joseph until after free agency begins. Mills may well leave in July, and the Spurs don't want to break in a new backup PG.
He said then he woke up..............he obviously wasn't making too serious of a post.
Possibly, but Spurs could look to agree a deal with Mills beforehand and roll the dice on him keeping his word, I doubt he will be in incredibly high demand. If there are two players in that area that the Spurs like then it could be worth it, Bogdanovic and Inglis for example.
People need to shut up about the Kawhi and Splitter trade that is just plain stupid. As far as Green or Cory that is in the realm of possibility and I would have no problems trading Phil....high second round pick for Cory. We could get a good bench player in the first round and then draft a big or Inglis and stash that player.
Green is useful in every series, Splitter on the other hand will only be useful in half the series... Nothing re ed about moving him...
Whatever they need to do to draft Anderson they better do it, a young Diaw mentored by Pop could be a franchise player tbqh... I want him even more badly than Capela.
I like Anderson. I think the spurs need another diaw. If Bonner is a gonner and bertans has question marks. I think the most important piece is another big that can pass, cut, and spread the floor to make Splitters life easier.
But in the series he's useful, he's indispensable. We wouldn't beat Dallas or Memphis without him, and the Portland series would have gone much longer without length to put on Aldridge.
In fact, the only series where Splitter isn't pivotal is the Heat and Thunder. We'd need him against the Pacers, Clippers and Rockets too.
He also buys Tim a lot of rest throughout the season too.
Anderson isn't another diaw yet, he's too skinny to play the role that Boris plays for us as a combo forward. I'd also happily bring Bonner back for the vet min next year.
Yes, as shown in the OKC series, Bonner spreads the floor and keeps Ibaka away from the rim, as does Diaw.
Cleanthony Early Bryce Cotton & Patric Young will work out for the spurs this week
Dude if the other teams man ups on Green he can't do cause he can't dribble the ball..ie.Matt Bonner on offense.
^Yeah, Green gets completely shut down when the team game-plans to stop him. Most other three-and-D role-players go for 20/10 against James.
Young would be a good value pick at the tail end of the second round...size, athleticism, intelligence, work ethic and present defensive skill set make him a pretty safe pick with role player potential.
I don't know about Early as the first round pick. He can flat out score the ball and has excellent athleticism, but the rest of his game is lacking, he'd be transitioning to full time SF, and he's one of the oldest in the class.
I think SA goes with Porzings if he is still available with the 30th pick. Otherwise, I'd say Inglis.
I like Young. If a player is big 3 caliber, on a team with a coach like Donovan. I think they're nba material. I'd take Yegette, too.
I think we go strictly international because our picks will need to be stashed. I think the only international pick that could come over right away would be Bogdan. Otherwise, I think every other pick will be 20 yrs old or under.
Heck 20 or younger is the age most top five guys in every draft.
Spurs do have three picks. I'd be surprised if they went International across the board. A guy like Young who could be a decent role player in the future shouldn't be discounted.
There's a new video of Elfrid Payton on DX, sounds like a great kid tbh, nothing to dislike about him, would be a great fit here...
On the other hand someone like Dinwiddie who I think could be a steal as well sounds like Kobe in interviews, quite the turn-off...
Clint Capela
Elfrid Payton
Kyle Anderson
Bogdan Bogdanovic
All 4 seems to be both spursy and very promising, they're the clearly above the rest of the pack for our first round pick imo, it'd even hard to choose between them but then again we'd be lucky to have even one falling to 30...
Just to kill time, here are the team most likely to block us and steal these guys in my estimation :
Payton -> Chicago, defensive minded team who needs a PG
Anderson -> Rockets, could use a slim Diaw to play small next to Howard
Bodgan -> OKC at 29 lol, they need a SG and Presti could see some Manu there
Capela -> Too many teams could use that kind of player tbh...

Having a better overall record than OKC is really great for the playoffs when get HCA against them. But it sucks knowing that they'll be picking immediately before us in the draft. Who knows what Presti will have up his sleeve to nab talent the Spurs have been eye-ing.
This is true. The Spurs really have to do the CIA Pop thing since Presti picks right before us. And even then he can probably give a pretty good guess as to who we want.
