worst gut punch since 6
at least send us slomo
worst gut punch since 6
Looks like they weren't impressed with anyone left on the board, so they traded it. Fine with that. Don't want a lightweight midget getting skull ed by anyone over 170 lbs on the team anyways. Can't wait for the kid to beef up on Whataburger if they're in win now mode
Poor Dillingham. Wanted so badly to be a Spur and fulfilled his dream for just a few minutes.
I hope Dillingham drops 50 on our ing heads every time we play Minnesota tbh.
So let me get this right, the Spurs just traded the 8th pick for what probably is gonna be a late 20's pick and an equally ty draft swap?
Hopefully a pick to be used next season in a trade.
Minnesota is going to shred us.
Unless these picks are being used in a trade for a star level player this is absolutely ridiculous!!
My issue is that the Spurs can act like White and Murray validate their potential strategy of targeting taller guards. But a) Those selections were great in no small part because of how late they were and b) It took them years to show their true worth, c) As good as they are, the Spurs should have been hoping for higher with their picks. If Castle ends up being another DeJounte Murray, this wasn't the pick they needed. The process of taking taller players and forcing them to be PGs has failed a lot more often than it's worked, and even when it works, the results are still players struggling to address major flaws. For the same reason why DeJounte wasn't a great player to bring back, Castle can't be the best answer they have to address the need for dynamism on the perimeter. That was Dillingham's strength, and given that the team seemingly didn't like anyone else at eight, it would have made sense to just take him and figure it out.
The last time I saw a trade gut punch like this, it was Mikal Bridges to Philly. That trade didn't work out for the Sixers, and it's hard to see this one working for the Spurs.
Brian Wright won't even be the ing GM in 7 years...we can only hope
Surely Spurs could've gotten more? Only time will tell, but this rings of overreacting (needing picks for a key player) to the Bridges trade, imho.
Only way this is salvageable is if we use that pick to trade for a star player tbh. If our plan is to actually wait until 2031 to draft a Rookie to help Victor, this is the worst trade in Spurs history
Trade looks pretty good to me.
A guy how is probably around the 15th pick in a regular draft for an unprotected 1st and swap 6 years down the track.
Minny might still have Edwards, but Gobert, Conley, Towns should all be gone and the franchise is traditionally horrible.
They couldn't even ask for 27 back in this draft? The worst thing is that Dilly was the perfect safety net in case Castle doesn't pan out.
Nothing like trading a guy who may drop 50 on you to a possible rival.
All that talk about “spurs are tanking for this draft” and they end up trading one of their lottery picks for nothing in return.why is Wrong still here, tbh?
Unreal. Literally had one of my most preferred combo of draft picks just to find out we traded him for a pick 7 years from now
Meh
Nobody is trading picks in a loaded 2025 draft for some picks 6 and 7 years from now
I was just saying on RGM that this feels very much like a Hinkie move. Just that constant need to add assets with no real concept of what they're for. Hinkie got canned after years of mismanaging the roster for the purpose to getting those picks. Wright needs to either show he can do something with them or get canned himself. Picking a guy with an uphill battle to be a PG is not going to cut it.
So they traded this 8th pick to a possible late 20s pick. Makes sense.
I hope he’s not even with the team by tomorrow
After checking it really is a '30 swap and '31frp (and not vice versa)...so can anyone tell me how two swaps in one year (Dallas) work if we are better than both teams? We clearly get the most favourable, but are we doing Dallas a favour if they land between Minnesota and us?
Not even the sniffers can put dis one
