People consider this a draft where they could make moves?
Okay. They won't make any.

An interesting take on the position the Spurs are in as a player in the draft for a change. Without mentioning possible trades or moves up for specific players, the interaction with the Celtics THREE round 1 drafts makes some intriguing possibilities that I don't think many of us have considered too much.
PATFO is capable of making unusual moves at times which no one considered. Could make this draft very entertaining.

No offense, but there's nothing exciting or innovative about that article. We've been talking about ways PATFO could use the Toronto pick since they got it. If anything, this article oversells the roster crunch. If you count Gay as being under contract, the team will have two spots open for players after signing both firsts. That's pretty normal for them. I think they should shake it up, but they certainly won't struggle to fit in two rookies,

Thanks for posting this. A good read for those of us who aren't wannabe GMs.https://www.forbes.com/sites/robwolk.../#7d493b195856

Thanks for posting. Always good to have something new to read when we're out of the playoffs.
Ainge has shown that he doesn't like to make a deal unless he can feel like he's completely bent somebody over. I guess anything is possible, but I'm pretty skeptical about any deal getting done with the C's.
Kyrie probably gone. Rozier looking for a pay day. Ainge will probably start with with White?
Don't be dumb. OP suggested the article was a "new take" on what the Spurs can do in this draft. It's not. It's an extremely shallow rehashing of things we've been talking about for like 10 months.Memo to spurstalk: only post articles that Chinook finds exciting and innovative.
I'm still thinking they won't use all three picks unless Metu is gone.[/shallowrehash]
Spurs still need youth and they are rebuilding so I don’t think it’s completely out of the realm of possibilities they keep them.
But between roster composition and minutes, a trade of some form seems pretty damn likely. But man, 1st round picks are seemingly becoming more and more high value assets. Especially lottery type picks. Look at what this draft lottery did and if you are a team giving up a lottery type pick, I can see protections being very strict and/or it costing A LOT to get one.

Plus minus
It would make a lot of sense for the Spurs to use both picks and build a young core around Murray/White/Walker for the future as well as having 2 cheap rookie contracts on the team. Then again it would also make sense to trade both picks for a higher one to get a player who can immediately contribute and have one more open roster spot for a free agent. Let's see what happens
Good to see you're still around, Tho.
I think the Spurs will package the 29th pick with Bertans and maybe Belinelli for an established player.
So the premise of the article is that the Spurs have 2 firsts and options?
I could see them possibly selling the 29th for a future first in 2020 or 2021 if they feel like that better suites their timeline.
I’d like to think the spurs will have a creative approach to the draft but watch them draft Luka Samanic 19th and Ty Jerome 29th (I like those guys but there not my 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th option lol)
In terms of draft day trades for the Spurs; Bellinelli to the 76ers for the 34th or 35th pick makes sense for both sides the tbh.
Spurs clear out $5.85 million by trading him into Philly's cap space, clear out another roster spot, gives Walker a path for minute or minutes for another free agent.
76ers get a rotation player who played well for them, previously. Their bench was likely the reason they missed the ECF and Beli comes cheap (they can take him into cap space)
The trade would have to officially be completed on 7/1
Nice thought. I like it.
Hope this happens but good idea anyways!
Will this hinder the 76ers ability to max or at least re-sign both Butler and Harris?
Sixers arent trading for a player they already refused to resign
No. Both are full bird so they can max them out.
Did they, or did he just sign elsewhere?
