I think both BacktoBasics and I (who he's replying to) agree that it's selling low. I can get that it's efficient in moving from a pick counting against the salary cap to one that won't, but, even in a weak draft, it was #8. You should be able to get something more than a pick and a swap.
Dejounte has become a big time player with all eyes on him.
Trae has led his team to the eastern conference finals.
Dilly will be a rookie who played against backups in college and likely unplayable in any meaningful minutes such as the playoffs when teams game plan. You can't hide him on defense and nba defenders will be a lot different than college backups.
Dilly would have been fun, but he's not even an NBA player yet. I'd take the proven guys any day.
Nailed it. This is a total tank move, unless we hear about another deal coming down the pipe (which I doubt). There are no FA worth adding space for - I can see us being a salary dumping ground, yet again. It's exhausting loving this team as of late.
Let’s all say a short prayer for Charlotte who saved us from getting Tiddy- ed today!
That the Wolves got Shannon at 27 just makes it sting even more. Shannon was probably the second-best perimeter dynamo in this draft after Dillingham. If you told me the Spurs got him and a future unprotected for from Minny for Dilly, I wouldn't be elated, but I would understand. But instead, the Spurs seemingly put a huge emphasis on swaps, and Minny somehow adds both dynamos to their team.
Agreed. B Wright has had more negative drafts than positive. His greatest accomplishment was depleting the team to tank for Vic. That has bought him at least 3 more years.
yea wtf did the spurs just do.
Should be a decent prospect available at 35 tomorrow if we don’t trade it to the Twolves lol
It's one unprotected 2031 first and a protected 2030 swap whose protection has yet to be revealed.
I mean, just that. Wemby is a top 10 player. He alone probably prevents you from having a top 5 worst record. I get that next years draft is better, but is #8 or #10 next year really going to move the needle and vault us into contention?
People are quick to point to OKC as our model. How many top 10 picks did they punt 7 years out on when they were in the thick of losing? I don’t know, but strongly suspect that number is 0.
Meanwhile, you’re asking an ascending Wemby to stomach yet another year of tinkering (lol Castle PG experiment). How much goodwill does he have? Are the 2025-2026 spurs in the playoffs? Play in? I doubt it at this rate.
If you have a generational player, you should have a plan. Short of a trade this offseason, tanking yet another year is not a ing plan.
lol…….. you win with vets and young talent sprinkled in. We got two more picks to leverage in a trade with teams that will be desperate in the future. We’ll make a few moves this offseason …… sit tight!
It’s top-1 protected I think.
It's just top1 protection.
Adema Bona, Tyler Smith, Cam Christie, Furphy, Filipowski, Klintman, Edwards, Nunez, off the top of my head that could be some decent reaches in the 2nd round at 35 tomorrow afternoon.
For better or worse, the Spurs just plain don't appear to be trying to win now. That view can change a lot depending on how free agency goes but I'm not expecting much at this point.
I didn't really like Dillingham's fit with the team, but punting the pick not just down the road but out of the ing stadium is strange at best and insane at worst.
Charlotte's a pretty awful franchise but can't imagine they'd cut off their nose to spite their face like that just because the Spurs were two spots ahead of them and took the guy they wanted most. I suspect Salaun was a smokescreen anyways just like Carter and that maybe Holland was their target all along at #8 or they were hoping to take Clingan and flip him somewhere.
What? Lol, no. Branham has been a huge disappointment both may suck at defence but at least Dillingham can dribble and score.
Jay Bilas mocking us on ESPN.
An unprotected swap at that point for the Spurs should basically be a first if all goes to plan. Swapping a late first for a top 5 pick is huge.
It’s an absolute pathetic front office
Jay Bilas said props to the Spurs to be able to scout 11 and 12 year olds. How embarrassing. Brian Wright was and is a bad hire from jump. He can dump players but drafting is not his forte.
thought it was the swap that was unprotected. Even better tbh.
Spurs look like a poor franchise duping their best player and their fans rn, unfortunately
As he should, tbh.
kolek,djusuric,furphy,smith....Spurs better not sale that pick
