Spurs reportedly looking to move up in 2016 NBA draft

[Obstructed_View]

If the Spurs give up on Aldridge after the year he had, they don't deserve to ever have a 50-win season again.

[raybies]

Danny Green, Parker, Mills for Holiday and 6th pick. I usually don't do this trade scenario thing but I would definitely do this, what y'all think?

I think it would be a good deal for both teams. New Orleans gets depth and proven veterans with championship pedigree and we get that infusion of youth that we so desperately need. I think the only thing holding this deal up would be Parker. I don't know if the Spurs would ever trade him. From a business perspective he needs to be dealt but from a family perspective he's earned his keep. If Parker is not dealt maybe adding the 29th and bobo? Although in this scenario I would want to keep the 29th.

I think Murray would be the guy we are targeting. Combo guard that can shoot lights out. Bender is intriguing. Jaylen brown would be a nice get too but I think we need the explosiveness on the offensive end.

[cutewizard]

let's all hypothesize and say only LMA and Kawhi are untouchable......

all the rest would be fair game, including Parker

hopefully........

[TheGoldStandard]

I would love some kind of draft day controversy in order to get into the 5-15 range and get a great prospect but I think it's more than lively we will hear, "with the 29th pick in the draft.. "

then R.C will come on and say something like, "We wanted to stay flexible with our cap space so we decided to take the best available player that we've been targeting. We didn't have scouts physically go over there and watch him play but we had some people over there give us a pretty good run down of what they do well. We believe this pick will be pay dividends in a few seasons when we bring them over. In the meantime we will fill out our roster with guys we can presumably cut around the trade deadline."

[TrainOfThought5]

Correct me if I am wrong, but I'm pretty sure LMA has more than 1 year left on his contract. Possibly 3 with the 3rd year being a player option.

And also, if you're going to trade LMA this soon without him requesting it, you may as well go ahead and trade Kawhi too because no big name free agents will be coming here again for a long, long time.

Dont need big time free agents if we can draft another young superstar. Superstar plus Kawhi, plus role players is dominance in itself.

Take this for what it is. Chad Fords mock w/ Jay Bilas saying SA trying to move up to 13 ( Suns).

Only thing that makes some sense is Tyson Chandler +13th pick for Diaw/Mills. Would be nice if Spurs can get the 34th pick and or Bogdanovic too.

Suns get to wipe TC's contract off their books and go after two big free agents this summer. Spurs get pricey, but defensive center they need and get the 13th pick (and maybe 34th if RC plays his cards right).

[Keepin' it real]

Would have loved Tyson Chandler on the Spurs in 2010 ...

[RD2191]

Who would the Spurs target at 13?

Who would the Spurs target at 13?

Nobody here knows that. We can make educated guesses though.

Hopefully an athletic/defensive center will be available.

Everyone knows nothing will happen and the the spurs are gonna pick some guy names Igorivanka Brogapanzinkidora 5'6" forward coming off hamstring replacent surgery, who averaged a double double in the Galaopagos island rec league. Then procede to give Bonner another extension.

Im not falling for it this time spurs....no sir!

To be honest Brogapanzinkidora is moving up several mock drafts. The hamstring replacement surgery has scared some off as it is novel and only performed by a surgeon in Ruratania.
I'm trying to find the youtube vide- it's really impressive.

Sounds,like a reasonable deal that works for both teams. Tyson cannot possibly want to spend his remaining useful years as a player in a lottery team that is very young and in rebuild status and he doesn't fit the fast paced style they have favored. Plus LMA was rumored to have wanted to play with him. I think it's a realistic scenario.

Patty is a gunner, fast, still young and cheap and they like multiple PG lineups. Boris is a passer that can help all their youth with his experience and he can be cut after the season or even b4 his deadline if they would rather do that. Works out just fine and we will have a need for an experienced center.

There is Tyler Ulis. 5'9" PG who has I think a hip red flag. He was a very good college player but between his size and health concern he could be there at 29. Close enough to your joke.

[JonNOKC]

Not crazy about small PG especially micro sized ones..if Spurs like Ulus why not just go after Kay Felder late in 2nd...slightly bigger than Ulis and more proven scorer/assist guy

Can't find him on YouTube, it just brings up alphabet tutorials

[LakerHater]

76ers have informed Ben Simmons they will select him with No. 1 pick in NBA Draft. (via https://t.co/M9Gff5vRdi) https://t.co/rgmSCyrn5b

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We're stacked at F, need a C and PG. No game-changing Cs around #13, so it's got to be Wade Baldwin Spurs are targeting if they can land that Suns pick. If he goes at #12 to Jazz, perhaps Dejounte Murray?

[tholdren]

why would anyone trade Chandler and 13 for mills and diaw? sounds too good to be true.

[tbdog]

^ To get out of that terrible contract. And I wouldn't even want that contract.

34 to start the season, injury prone, owed 39 million......
What's not like....

[SpursBills]

Agree with Wade Baldwin above at #12/13. He has the requisite length, athleticism, and 3 point shooting that he'll be playable as a rookie in a spot-up role. This will allow the Spurs to develop his point guard skills while the offense revolves around LMA/Kawhi. His 3 point shooting is likely good enough that he'll just be a floor spacer in the offense early who's not a negative on defense. Then as he gets better they shift ball-handling responsibilities to him and they have their long-term solution at point guard. It's the same way that they developed Kawhi when he first game one. Makes a lot of sense to me.

Personally, I'm very high on Baldwin - see the article below which I think gives a pretty good argument:
