Spurs Select Rob Dillingham 8th Overall in the 2024 NBA Draft

[baseline bum]

Spurs legend Rob Dillingham getting Wemby his second star OMFG.

[baseline bum]

I'm not mad about not having Dillingham. He's fun - but doesn't fit what we're doing here, and not really comparable to the kind of player Fox is.

With that said, having Dillingham right now would probably be more valuable than a 2031 MIN pick in trying to get Fox. Oh well.

Have a bowl of crow with me bro!

I want Brian to come to my house and feed it to me directly like I'm a little baby. It taste sooooooo good

[ffadicted]

Everyone that called this a bad move needs to get in here and file their official apologies to Brian.

I mean, there were ways for the Spurs to complete this trade without it. But it is nice that they turned Poeltl into what was probably the major piece in acquiring an All-Star --level guard a few years later.

It's funny that the Kawhi trade helped both in bringing in Poeltl and in establishing the relationship with DMDR that probably led to the Spurs being part of the S&T this summer. I hate to talk about DeMar this way, but I imagine seeing the Kings spend assets to bring him in could've been a factor that led to Fox realizing Sacramento wasn't it. What makes it worse is that DeMar probably helped give Chicago false hope, which encouraged them to sign Lavine rather than trade him, leading to them being moribund enough to want to deal him.

DeRozan has been a ing assassin for the SA. They should retire his jersey when this is all over.

Worst ing trade ever are you kidding me Brian Wrong

[slick'81]

We can thank wembanyama for all this

[jeebus]

Way to kill the buzz PATFO. Smh

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?

Brian Wright won't even be the ing GM in 7 years...we can only hope

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?

Not even the sniffers can put dis one

Why do the Twolves always fleece us, they took our early 2nd rounder last year too

Dillingham could easily win RoY next season, tbh. I'd love it just to humble these ing morons a little.

Gotta prepare for when Wemby leaves the team tbh

Brian Wright is a ing joke. Hopefully this will finally kill the extremely outdated "the Spurs are draft wizards" meme.

The trade was objectively a terrible transaction. 2030 and 2031 is so far in the future that they hold so little value today. And one of them is a swap?? Value wise, made much more sense to take a flyer at the 8th even if the Spurs weren't high on anyone.

This in place is completely special needs

This deserves to be pinned at the top of the Demar thread for posterity

This gives me flashbacks of when we were all pissed the Spurs didn't pick Charlie Ward, only to find out the next day Pop traded our pick (Bill Curley) to bring Sean Elliott back.

I was so ing mad about Bill Curley. I don't think I've ever been more angry at a Spurs move.

[Spurs Homer]

Ok

i ted on this move by the spurs more than anyone….i think…

ok - NOW- im happy to eat in a bowl….if gifting dilly to a rival led to this Fox trade- NOW im ok with it….good job spurs…

ill start eating now….

[Obstructed_View]

Gee, a big available at 8 would sure be nice right about now before you guys start sucking each others .

true…

now, im NOT saying the spurs letting a good pg prospect go was great-
but IF they actually had the foresight to let him go because they had their sights on a star PG in the near future..


well i got to give credit where its due if the spurs planned this….

jeebus been keeping receipts well done

Fkn lovin this thread

[DAF86]

In my defense (and a lot of other people in this thread) I did say somewhere (maybe even in this same thread) that the only saving grace of this move was using that 20131 pick for an all-star level player. My problem was that I never thought PATFO would have the guts to actually make such a move.

Wright proved me wrong and he earned the benefit of the doubt from me on any future move he makes, tbh.

The Spurs found out Fox was a realistic option not long before the rest of us did. They had plenty of resources to facilitate a trade. And there are a few guys who people on this board were interested in at 8 who would have helped fill out this young roster for a playoff run.

[ambchang]

Wait until that 20131 pick turns out to be #1 pick for a generational player.

We have could taken Ware the mini Wemby with this pick and solved the backup Center issue

[RC_Drunkford]

We have could taken Ware the mini Wemby with this pick and solved the backup Center issue

we got Fox now though

[rankingtear]

We have could taken Ware the mini Wemby with this pick and solved the backup Center issue

That is a legit dilemma.

You can’t make this up! lol
