Yeah, we can't freak out right now. It'll be an interesting off-season and I take Pop at face value when he said there'll be changes. We should be fine and contending as usual.
There are tons of ways things COULD work out. But those don't happen with the Spurs. They're predictable 95 percent of the time. Pop will overvalue Manu and prioritize making him happy over keeping Green. The Spurs will scrape together another two-guard in the Bogans mold. They get the best big they can with cap space (West being more likely than LMA) and they'll take a step back but people won't really notice because they'll still win 50 games. If the Spurs were really trying to maximize the value of their cap space, they would have drafted a contributor at 26. There were rotation-caliber guys still on the board, and that's essential for any plan to compete for a le next season.

Which reporter was it who recently said the Spurs are refusing to take on any more $ through the draft. I remember reading that this week at some point.
Your justification for your anxiety seems to be only that you cannot think of another way. Sorry that your plans didn't work out.
This doesn't change anything, Spurs still have a lot of building to do. Quit crying until you see the finished product.
spurs should just start donating their ty would be draft picks to charity for some tax write offs or some .
I agree. For as much as the Spurs FO is praised they've missed out on some decent players the past few drafts. They've had some misses.
Cue the Bonner for 3/30 deal coming soon
I'm more of a team fan than anything but Manu, TD, and Kawhi are my favorite players. I don't hate anybody on the team except for Ginger and Ayres.
Why do you think we'd have to lose Green, Splitter AND possibly Mills? We can still dump Splitter and sign Aldridge, if anything the $500k we saved by making this pick puts us closer to his max and more likely we won't have to lose Mills.
The league is moving more to small ball, we can survive playing Kawhi at the 4 for extended minutes.
Another embarrassing year from the FO. Absolutely pathetic how much they expect TD to keep carrying the front court while they continue to draft Euros that will never come over.
I disagree. I think everything is the same they just didn't like anyone they thought could be a rotational player and took someone they like. A league min guy is just as likely to contribute as the 26th pick in their minds & keeps them on the same plan.
I've been fearing that , tbh. I will absolutely melt the down here if he's re-signed.
The Spurs will be fine if they either keep their current roster together or make smart moves to add a star and some assets. They won't be if they let go of half their rotation to pay old-ass Manu to play 17 minutes. It really depends. But stashing the pick this year made absolutely no financial sense. It would be like walking to 10 miles work instead of taking the bus because you're saving up for a new car while still having an expensive timeshare you're still paying off....damn, Chinook is ready to bleed himself out over this. Calm down breh. Spurs will be fine.
I am somewhat surprised to see Milunitov as opposed to Hernangomez. Hernangomez has demonstrated a lot more putting up a 20+ PER in the ACB...
Still, how many teams can honestly say they have no true centers on their roster?
I'm actually content with the pick. I was already prepared for this. I figured they would pick one of Willy, Nikola, or Arturas, just overvalued the wrong one. It makes sense though. Nikola is the youngest of the three and argueably the most productive. If he was playing in the states he would have been much higher with the lack of depth in true centers. The kid is playing pro ball at 20. Good pick. Not flashy but will be good insurance post Duncan.
Yup, you want that versatility because we weren't getting out rebounded as it was.. lol..
We refused to believe.
Hopefully at some point we can quit whinging that our best laid plans went for naught and actually address the reality of the guy the Spurs actually drafted.
If this blockbuster move doesnt get LA over here, i dont know what will tbh
We don't know how much Duncan and Manu will end up taking. It could end up being to where they don't affect the cap at all, and it could be to where they combine for $16 Million. What I do know is that the Spurs would give them what they asked for just like they did with Parker and then work around it.
good call. i like what i saw.
i did want montrezl though.
