Wouldn't include Vassell in a trade at this point due to his potential fit with Wemby tbh.
if they do trade up it would be for someone who fell in mid to late teens imo

Allow me to have a lot of doubts about it. I have him in the 20s and potentially higher.
I've got him at 18 myself, but most mocks I have seen lately have him in the 30's..
We don’t need to blow any assets…..enjoy the W boys & girls until the FA period.
I have Vassell as third on my list of untouchable assets behind the pick and Sochan. I wouldn't WANT to trade him. But if the Spurs believe Branham is the starting two-guard and think Keldon's a keeper, there's room for a trade.
A person on RGM said Keldon and a first for 7. Depending on what that first is, that could be an example of how the Spurs could pick a guy they were settling on while also having Wemby on the roster. I have no idea who it would be, but I could definitely believe someone drafted after sixth-overall will be better than Keldon is. Maybe multiple players. Whether PATFO thinks that is another matter.
Too bad Portland moved up. They were looking to possibly move for a veteran.
If Scoot falls to #3 and Portland is still pussyfooting about trading Lillard, I'd give up a nice combo of any players/assets besides Wemby/Sochan/Vassell. Scoot/Wemby would be a sick duo for years to come
Conventional wisdom says we need a PG, but I dont see one outside of Scoot that fits the bill now...if I squint I might could see Wallace as that guy. If he falls enough then another option might be Nick Smith jr... has enough upside to justify going after.. I wouldn’t limit myself to just PG's though... Gradey would be a nice fit for years to come...
Trade whoever in the current team and picks to get one of the Thompson twins, then get a tough center to grab rebounds and fill other spots with shooters
Do not mention the Spurs and the (so-called) Texans in the same sentence.
The end.
Nope. There’s zero point to it when we have so much draft capital in the future. Also we could use that draft capital to sign a future player. Spurs sign FFV would be better than drafting Scoot. We need shooters at this point. It will be interesting though bc what if Portland does draft Scoot? Do we trade for Dame? He would want to go to a contender but none of them have any picks. Pho, LAL, LAC, Phil, Mil, have no picks. Idk about Miami. But I believe we should use the picks to get a vet. You gotta figure Washington won’t want Beal.
I'm gonna stick with it, why not? I'd trade a couple picks for Anthony Black. I still believe greatly in him. His size helps him plug into three perimeter slots, he's an excellent perimeter defender, and he's essentially a PG. Is he available? No, probably not.
Question: if they move Keldon at the draft, is it the 3.8M he was owed this past year that is used for matching salaries, or the 20M figure that starts next year once his extension starts? Seems like a big deal for any Keldon-centric dealings.
Yeah, strange to me. I still think he should be gone before spurs SRP. Really would like to see the spurs reaching for him.
I suppose if they really like Kobe Buffkin they could target him without giving up too much. Otherwise don’t see much reason unless they really want Amen or Black but feels like a bad play.
It'd the higher of his current salary and the guaranteed salary during the next year, so it would be the $20 Million. That would make trading for him a little harder for a contender, but most teams have even ballast to move out to get it done, including if they sign the draftee and use his salary.
Portland is going to want an all star veteran back for the number 3 pick.
amen thompson...
I will defer to the general idea that the meat of the draft isn't all that great. But I do think fans might be overselling future drafts. They don't need three picks in 2025, for example, and with the Charlotte draft, they might get three in 2024 to boot. If they can get their expected consolation prize now, it might make way more sense than hoping they'll be in the position to do so later on. What if Wemby is really good and they don't have a high pick for the foreseeable future? What if those future drafts look too bad to want a bunch of picks in? I am on record for the Spurs trading up to get a mid-first anyway, and that still feels like a good idea. But they have the luxury of going a bit harder given that they already have one top prospect in their bag and don't have as much fear that they'll put themselves out of position to draft another.
You can bet the FO is all at the table even right now, discussing this. This kid needs to see a franchise scrambling to put talent around him. If he's a generational player, Spurs better not let him stagnate and get that thousand yard stare out West.
Agree. The Spurs have way too many draft picks right now. A good thing to have? Yes. But they clearly can't use all of them. The idea of consolidating and trading some was an option for the future, but the future may be much closer. IF the team sees someone available I don't doubt they could rifle off some assets to get a good young player.
I definitely want them to go after Bilal Coulibaly. Also don‘t sleep on GG Jackson. Can‘t see them trading Keldon or Vassell though
yeah. kind of in the same way we've been talking about how the spurs need to consolidate the boatload of 2nd rounders instead of actually making all those selections, landing wemby shifts the landscape to such a degree that the same conversation probably has to be had with first rounders. do we really want to draft 8 first rounders in the next 3 years? in addition to wemby/sochan/vassell/keldon and whoever else we decide to extend/sign between zollins/tre and whatever else we do in FA these next few years?
Amen should be targeted. I see Miller going 2. Scoot might drop to Houston because charlotte and Portland have franchise pg. I say offer Detroit Keldonand charlottes first we have along with Chicago first we have. Both are protected so won’t be high. Detroit has Cade so Amen as a big point forward redundant. If Detroit takes Villanova or Houston kid we may have easier chance at Amen trade at 6. Amen is Spurs type. We need an electric athlete like him or Scoot on pick and Roll with Wemby.
