Even in Houston the rockets are operating like a middling go nowhere team.
The Spurs, even with Victor are operating like a small market en y.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.

You’re coping. Rockets FO have the balls to make a pick and live with the results, which have been more good than not. Your GM panicked.
That’s your rationale? Rather have a pick you don’t really want than to punt it down the line for something they would? That’s a pretty stupid thought process. If you can even call that a thought process at all.
Down the line when Victor may not even be there is absolutely stupid. Was there not another prospect they liked? What happens in next year’s draft if a player they really like is sniped and gone?
Were you dropped on the head as a child? Is there a rule that once you trade for a pick its yours forever and there's no possibility of flipping it for someone else? Do you really think a team should give a about drafting some scrub at 8 in a bad draft class after they already took the best player in the draft?
Dillingham won’t be a scrub.
The team lost 60 games. Everything outside of Wemby needs improvement. Can't afford to stand pat. If Dilly's a scrub then what are Wesley, Graham, Branham?
I don't think there's any reason to love or hate this trade. It's just fine, but I think what's really made people upset is that it's the opposite of an aggressive move. It's a classic conservative Spurs move, but there were expectations that the team was moving to be more aggressive because of statements Wright made. Maybe Wright indicating they were going to be more aggressive was a smokescreen?
not to mention mass hysteria 🙄.
bigger, and older scrubs.
Time to face facts.
Spurs are now a watered-down incompetent franchise who got really really lucky to land vw.
Coaches are watered down. From fiery "5 rings es" Pop - to Pop "I just want to hug superstars on tv after my team gets smoked by them because they played the right way and made shots" 80 year old tired pop.
All the actual coaches that contributed are now coaching other teams - which is a big kudos to the pop culture - but also means we have nothing but apprentice film room gophers doing basketball "coaching."
RC BUFORD and Presti being the genius "find diamond in the rough" masters is a nice memory.
Chip Engelland doing magic and allowing the spurs to mold non-shooters into snipers is a nice fond memory - even though the film cutter coaches never got the memo that we have -shooting players and -shooting coaches now.
Sorry Victor. It was a fairy tale that you grew up and got drafted by the best organization in sports and master-jedi Pop is a tired unmotivated senior lustily eyeing that comfortable chair instead of being motivated to win a le even after being gifted the unicorn of all unicorns.
Was a nice run though.
So you should build a franchise by assuming your franchise player won’t be here? How does that work?
What does this have to do with next year? What are you even talking about?
A lot of people ITT just blindly assuming the Spurs would have even picked Dillingham if they stayed at #8. A lot of "deep thoughts" about his fit when it was highly unlikely to be the Spurs pick anyways.
Wright did a great job. The entertainment value of the meltdown in this thread alone was worth the trade.
Because if the Spurs tank again next year with no visible plan forward, Victor will not be there in seven years. You don’t trade that pick out of the draft because you aren’t sure who to take. You do it for cost saving measures, and THAT is not how you build a team around him. They are NOW going to need to make a move soon.
but-but-but they saved $7M !
Spurs will get Dillingham once he's done several all star game stops and wants to retire in a quiet town.
If you understood market you'd know how silly that sounds. Of course they operate that way. Market isn't about popularity of a player.
Then watch Victor leave with the help of ESPN. They will drag the Spurs. A second season of tanking will have them crying bloody murder to get him out of SA.
Crazy how y'all let the Spurs front office and organization send y'all into an emotional tail spin lol. No matter how much they come out and say they're going to be patient and not rush this process, it's like some of you let it go in one ear and out the other.
How do you know that? Did you talk to him? His agent? His cousins butler?
Ppl in this thread.
No way Victor will be here in 2030 & 2031.
Ant will for sure be winning with the T'Pups in 2030 & 2031.
You prescient mfs need to give me the lotto numbers, tbh.
