Spurs reportedly looking to move up in 2016 NBA draft

[Keepin' it real]

Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili not enough for you?

They didn't slide. No one had ever heard of them. I'm talking about players who were college stars but still plummeted.

[Chinook]

Why doesn't the NBA have star players who slide way down the first round like in the NFL such as Randy Moss, Warren Sapp, etc.?

Blair, PJIII, Sullinger, Fab Melo, Kyle Anderson. , look at bigs like Wood and Upshaw who went from first-rounders to undrafted.

There have been a good number, as listed above. But since rosters are much smaller than in the NFL, "tumbling" means dropping later in the first round. Paul Pierce is a famous example of someone who tumbled in the draft, but was still in the lottery.

That makes sense. Thanks.

I'm curious to see which tradeable assets we have to move up in the draft. Obviously, we aren't trading Kawhi or LMA. But not sure how low a draft pick Spurs can get and what they would have to take back in such a trade.

Atlanta, Philadelphia, and San Antonio have done the most extensive research on DeAndre Bembry, source told @CBSSports. All pick bw 20-30.

I like Bembry better fir us than Ulis.

Sources: Utah is sending the No. 12 pick in Thursday's Draft to Atlanta as part of deal that sends George Hill to Utah, Teague to Indy.

That opens up 21 for a Mills trade...

[K...]

Haha, george hill blocks the Parker haters from one of their best promising trade avenue

[Robz4000]

Or LDN to ATL for #12.

[raybies]

Good haul for Atlanta sort of. But it sets the price for a pick. Wonder who else is involved.

PJIII would have been a top 10 pick had he come out a year earlier barely made the 1st round and had to play behind KD limiting his development. I remember that Sullinger was projected to be a top 5 pick in the '10 draft had he come he come out.

[Ditty]

This may be good for the Spurs if they are trying to move up in the draft. Atlanta might be more willing to trade with us. Come on Bud we gave you Splitter!

[gambit1990]

i would trade tp + the 29th pick for the 30th pick

[NASpurs]

Thanks Bud!

Thanks Bud!

Tony Parker to back up Shroeder in the ATL for 12 and 21.. Come on RC

[montgod]

Thanks Bud!

I knew it! ATL doesn't want any rookies with trying to improve now. They won't let the Spurs off easy this time though lol. Gonna be some payback cause of Splitter lol.

Danny Green perhaps.

I really liked PJIII

They didn't get robbed in the Splitter deal.

[cd021]

Bemby makes more sense than Ulis though I could see the Spurs acquiring a second 1st rounder or an early rounder to draft Ulis. Mills to Philly or Phoenix would allow for the Spurs to shed another $2.5 million off the books and add some youth to the end of the bench along with Bertans.

[montgod]

Danny Green perhaps.

Perhaps and then maybe let go of Bazemore or Mike Scott (team option).

LOL. After the Splitter catastrophe, I'm betting the Hawks don't even pick up if they see the San Antonio area code on their phone.

Bobo/Mills and the 29th for the 12th pick?
