Man that Bailey blurb is disturbing![]()
Hmm, not wanting Bailey but this provoked the thought that are the days of "getting over yourself" gone now that Mitch is the coach instead of Pop?
Man that Bailey blurb is disturbing![]()
Nahh... there are so many teams talent starved that he isn't slipping that far. I can't see a Brooklyn, Chicago passing on him. For sure the Rockets take him at 10 if available, they have a track record of going after perceived fallers (Sengun, Whitmore, etc).
Indiana trading the #23 pick in this draft to New Orleans in exchange for their own 2026 FRP (which NOP owned) back.
Seems like a move Indiana is making just to free up cap space this offseason. Have to imagine that in a vacuum the 23 pick this year is worth more than their 2026 pick.
Yup...it also makes the Stepien Rule irrelevant for them going forward..
'26 pick gives them more flexiblity with Stepien rule.
If they didn't get it back, they wouldn't have been able to trade '27 FRP, now they have all of their picks from '26 ownard.
smart trade for Indy
they're probably going to get into the tax to re-sign Myles Turner, dont want the additional payroll of a 1st rounder this year anyway, as they already have a pretty deep rotation under contract.
by getting their 2026 pick back, they now have complete flexibility when it comes to trading future draft capital. and after this year, they will not have any outgoing FRPs anymore. they are well positioned to remain compe ive for quite a while and have the assets to reshuffle when needed
very well run org over there
i dont know if pelicans actually want to make a second selection in the 20s or if this is just ammunition to move up from 7 to get their guy, whether it be bailey or somebody else
When you read the latest espn mock draft, there are some tiers:
Tier 1: pick #1:
Flagg
Tier 2: pick #2:
Harper
Tier 3: pick #3 to #8
Edgecombe
Knueppel
Johnson
Bailey
Fears
Maluach
Tier 4: pick #9 to #14:
Essengue
Bryant
Jakucionis
Queen
Demin
CMB
Ace Bailey should be campaigning his ass off to be the #3 selection to Philly. Hope he likes that tier 2 Carolina barbecue.
I hope we walk out of the lottery with Harper and Coward.
Spurs told MVP Barkley to take a hike and they didn’t want him to play for us. It was actually his preferred choice to team with Robinson. That very same season he hit the series winner in David Robinson’s eye on his way to the finals.
Wasn't the story that the trade was ready to be made and then Terry mings busted his knee?
No what happened is we had a deal on the table and McCombs didn’t want to pay Barkley his “giant” salary since he was already paying Robinson.
Yeah, but I also blame whoever he is using as an agent. They should have prepared him for all those basic questions and more. Don't forget these are young guys. Not used to answering job interview questions.
He’s not normal. I’m guessing if the agent tried to correct him, he’d be fired.
Well, we are 1 week from the draft. So, here is my final Big Board unless something out of the ordinary happens this week. Remember this is a Tier system and that individual rankings don't matter. You'd pick for fit within the tiers. For example when we pick Dylan 2nd, if you're sitting at 14 and Fears and Coward are on the board you take Coward even though he's several spots lower.
Tier 1:
1. Cooper Flagg
Tier 2:
2. Dylan Harper
Tier 3:
3. V.J Edgecombe
4. Tre Johnson
5. Jon Knueppel
Tier 4:
6. Noa Essengue
7. Ace Bailey
8. Kasparas Jackucionis
9. Egor Demin
10. Liam McNeely
Tier 5:
11. Thomas Sorber
12. Jeremiah Fears
13. Carter Bryant
14. Shaman Maluach
15. Rasheer Fleming
16. Derick Queen
17. Jase Richardson
18. Joan Beringer
19. Cedric Coward
20. Will Riley
Tier 6:
21. Nolan Traore
22. Ben Saraf
23. Maxime Raynaud
24. Nique Clifford
25. Drake Powell
Tier 7:
26. Asa Newell
27. Danny Wolf
28. Ryan Kalkbrenner
29. Walter Clayton jr
30. Noah Penda

KOC with yet another article about why it makes sense for SA to trade away #2![]()
Dude, why do you have to be such a stereotypical SpursTalk homer? If Bailey somehow drops to 14 (never gonna happen), you draft him without thinking twice. Be real now![]()
If there was a KD trade with the #14 pick in place as one of the pieces and Bailey dropped to 14 (it won't happen), would you guys cancel the trade and take Bailey instead (I would)?
Today's the day, I can feel it. Get ready because there has got to be Zhang Bang incoming.
Oh no, wait....his Twitter has been suspended.
I miss him already.
His shtick is getting old
If I could contact this guy, I'd tell him he's a ing and to stop being a Spurs hater. No chance we're trading Dylan Harper for anything less than a Superstar such as Giannis. Any other trade proposals at this stage are just hate from the other side not wanting to see the Spurs get another potentially great player.
Eh, these guys are trying to generate interest in the draft, worst case just for themselves. No one has talked about Cooper Flagg in weeks (though he deserves it), so this is something to talk about.
Question: Is the Zhang Bang the reincarnation of TSpence?
Definitely take Bailey over the trade. Flip the other pieces for something else.
