Best comparison: Muggsy Bogues Nothing against Muggsy but ugh.

....with a deteriorating hip. Sounds like a D Butler type of draft pick.

UGGGHHH!

C'mon Spurs,

Stop with the midget hunting!!!

It would protect Tony's starting job.

Hey, don't look at me.. I drafted a PG

Ultis could also just be a fallback option with them doing their homework in case they can't trade up in the draft.

Spurs couldn't find someone shorter?

Ullis wouldn't be a bad pick if I hadn't soured on other teams exposing our short pgs the last few years.

I'd rather go with someone with height and athleticism as a fall back regardless of who gets taken. Tired of undersized midgets or drafting positions we don't need

He's got feistiness

He's got feistiness

He's gotten over himself, at 5'9 I think everyone has..

[RD2191]

According to his wiki Ulis was the SEC player of the year and the SEC defensive player of the year. Don't watch much college ball so don't know what weight those awards carry in the SEC.

Absolutely nothing.

Ulis doesn't look that bad in our range. Dude is a great ball handler and a solid playmaker according to DX. Let's not forget our bench looked like this season and could use a playmaker/scorer if Manu retires.

Don't do it... don't buy in..

Yeah i was watching his strengths video on DX and he's exactly the type of PG the Spurs need... too bad about the height thing. Not going to lie, it got me a little hyped. But picking that late in the first round, you know your pick is going to have a serious flaw.

[Drom John]

I swear, between Drom John and me, we made SOOOO many threads in the TT about prospects. If it ends up being none of them

And we haven't even made a page for the guy I want.
But since no "legit" site has mocked him to the Spurs, I'm waiting for the prediction page where I'll have the Spurs trading down to get him.

5'9..this igga is probably 5'7 without shoes. Smdh

I'm not so sure. For the first time in nearly two decades they are starting to transition away from having a near all NBA type C and an allstar caliber PG. They need and see the chance to trade up in a draft that is weak at the bottom and sense that they need a pure upgrade. My dream get would be Murray from Kentucky, and while we don't have the chips to cash in on that type of a leap in the draft, if he falls to say to the 10th pick in some sort of free fall, he's got the chance to be in the league for 10-15 years with his talent.

Chad Ford ESPN laid out a trade scenario this morning with us getting a top 5 pick from PHX (could be Murray) Brandon Knight, and Alex Len for LMA

Seems like the kind of player I could see eye to eye with

After all that, I can't see them trading LMA. I did findin it interesting that he has only a year left on his contract so... never know. Besides, wouldn't be a good way to woo KD to the Spurs in trading the very next year. LMA will only get better next year after getting fully comfortable.

Have you looked at the other players available in this range? there are at least eight that are more worth the Spurs time (All front court players). I would rather the Spurs sign a vet than go for an undersized PG with hip problems just because the Spurs need additional depth.

Despite the numbers that Ulis put up in college in the eye ball test he comes up a little short.

I think Phoenix would find that too much. It's a beautiful trade from the Spurs' perspective, though, if Parker and maybe Green () are dealt. Build around Kawhi with an early 20s team instead of a late-20s, early 30s team.

[DPG21920]

There is no way SA trades LMA unless he requests it. You cannot do that if you're a team that has plans to lure FA. 67 wins then dump the guy after 1 year? Good luck getting any other top FAs to SA of you do that. Look at the Mavs and what they did from a loyalty perspective and how it has cost them.

For me, I think it's a short term set back but, a longer term win just on the face of it. On the other hand it they can parlay that cap room into a significant player then they might not have to step back at all.

That Ford trade proposal is one of the dumber things I've seen come out of ESPN, and that's saying something.
