we have a comical incompetant front office and ownership with no clue. They let Pop RC and BW do whatever they want because Tim got them credibility.
Not that hopeful he'll our PG either, but next year's class has a couple nice PGs anyway. If he can turn into our long-term SF with a respectable 3-pt shot and secondary playmaking ability I'll be thrilled.

Yeah we just saw a very unspectacular OG Anunoby get a $200 mil contract. That shooting though..
It’s a move you make when you have a core together. Not just one superstar.
My guess about why Spurs did this trade is that they have a precise idea on how they want to build the team around Victor. Instead of just looking to add talented prospects, they are only interested in talented prospect who will fit with how Spurs will play in the future. For example, Buzelis is for sure a talented player but Spurs might not want to add a playmaker alongside Victor in their frontcourt.
At #8 there were a handful a legit prospect left. This draft had quite a big drop in quality around the 12th pick. Spurs might have judge that these few good players left were poor fit with what they were trying to build.
True but I doubt the fan base would care.
But should rephrase that there's bound to be someone in the top 15 of timvp's big board who was available and will end up being a high level player or a at least a high level role player. Spurs should have taken a flier on someone. However, after some time to cool down, I realize the Spurs do already have a logjam of players to develop especially after adding Castle. Idk how much Sochan/Wesley/Branham improved (if at all) last year so the third year is when we'll see if anyone is panning out.
I wonder if Salaun was their guy at 8 and once he was gone they were trading the pick.
We have at least two first round picks and possibly more next year. Could be a numbers game also due to that.
lol 10 pages compared to 3 for Castle
That may be the problem. Silly front office think they have a core with Wemby, Sochan, Vassell and probably KJ too.
What in the actual brian wrong happened here? Can someone explain this? Is trading #8 for 2 picks in 2099 gonna get us Tobias Harris or another vet? What the is going on?
I thought the Spurs would trade down or out for a while after seeing what a supposedly weak draft it is. This does fit with my overall perception of the Spurs' ownership spending as little money as possible the first few years of Wemby's tenure unless some really game changing reason to spend the money comes up. One or two more seasons hanging about the salary floor isn't really out of the question.
The real question is...will the Spurs have a better record next year than this year?
I'm now at the "who cares" point. The Spurs ain't worth my time any longer.
I enjoyed watching Boston, so maybe I'll keep the NBA League Pass after all.
That's exactly why they made this move, so they can bring a more confirmed talent through a trade. These Minny picks will be gone soon.
In the last 30 years, twolves have had 21 top 10 picks. Calm your horses ST. This is not the Heat who rarely have off years. It's the Twolves.
Spurs coulda had Dalton Knecht at 8. Spurs incapable of seeing real NBA talent slapping you in the face.
Got Dilly instead and traded him for...nothing.
Who the F does that?
Spurs.
Oh and Towns will be 35 years old. Gobert 38. Conley retired. Edwards contact expires in 2029. Plus 2025 - no pick. 2026 - their pick swaped with jazz. 2027 - no pick. 2028 - pick swap . 2029 - no pick. Franchise 2/3 pick in the top 10.
I would have been happy to get Knecht here, but it is a good haul for this draft. We are talking about getting the most value so far for an equivalent to a mid teen pick. This is a star trade or a last piece of the puzzle asset not 7 years down the line rookie.
They should’ve just moved to Vegas
Traded for unprotected picks
How is he a superstar? He’s baguette Bradley. You’d rather have sengun and amen Thompson.
I can admit it that he is a superstar. But if I were you, this wouldn’t be the at ude I would be taking with that cheap your front office did. So yes, I’d rather have my FO build around Sengun and Thompson like they are doing.
Brian Wright's reaction on the question regarding the trade indicates, that there is something going on, that can't be finished before todays 2nd round.
(my guess would be a Garland trade. but could be some other trade as well)
Am I an idiot for thinking these picks could be used to get McDaniels in a year?
This upcoming season will be the last for Minnesota before they have to make some difficult choices.
Cap projection for 25-26 season is at $155M.
Minnesota will be at ~190M with just 7 players under contract.
KAT, Gobert, Edwards, McDaniels, Conley and two picks they just made, Dillingham and Shannon Jr.
They'll surely give Naz Reid a bigger contract, probably in 25-30M a year range.
Alexander-Walker will also be a free agent, but no way they'll be able to pay him.
Second apron will be at $208M and Mcdaniels will be making $24M.
The only player they could realistically get rid of is Conley, but he's at just $10M for that season.
And they don't have a 2025 FRP.
Even if they go over second apron to keep Naz, they'll have just 8 players under contract, with two of them being two young guys with hig bust potential and one being 38 year old Conley.
Spurs would definitely want to get a wing like McDaniels. Just fits PATFO's m.o. as of late and 3-D wings are our biggest need.
All we need to do is hope TWolves fail in this upcoming season and have to make some moves. With their cap situation and zero tradeable picks, I'd gladly give these two back in exchange for McDaniels.
There's a very low chance of this happening, but anything is possible in today's league.
Yes master, I dare not talk to you with at ude.you deserve all the praise in the world for having a front office who is building around sengun and amen Thompson.
