Is this a serious question? They drafted their current starting point guard and their top two international prospects (or at least their top one and Hanga). That draft has the potential to be one of the best ever in a few years.

Count me as one of those people who was saddened by losing Hill. I really wanted a young player to stick with the team. But I understood how big of a need a legitimate small-forward was, so the fact that they got to pick one they liked rather than just getting whatever fell to them made me feel better.
The thing that makes the trade so good is not just that Leonard as turned out to be so good, it's also that Green stepped in and pretty much filled Hill's role completely (including the inconsistency). It almost doesn't seem fair. It would be like trading Splitter for a top-five pick and then seeing Baynes come in and be even better.
You're telling me that Baynes isn't already better than Splitter?
Hey, with your skills at breaking down stats, I'm sure you could make a compelling argument for it.
After that first game against Dallas, Baynes had something like a -44 PER and was probably (statistically) the worst player to ever play in the league by light-years.
Was actually referring to guys linked with the spurs, considering that even parker was in trade humors getting a high lottery is possible and if it happened who were the guys the spurs are considering.
And "like" doesn't equal to "draft".
Indeed. I misread your question. I apologize for that. I will say though that the Spurs obviously liked their first three picks, because they picked them when no one was expecting them to be off the board.
As for your actual question. I heard some Valanciunas links, as well as Tristan Thompson. Pop apparently liked Derrick Williams a lot. Really, though, it's hard to get a good read on whom the Spurs target each year. I don't think many could have predicted Leonard being the Spurs' target until the trade was announced.
Who's laughing now ?Young ron artest? Bowen Jr?
+1 WinWho's laughing now ?
Young Ron Artest minus the crazy is looking like a really prescient call. Well done.Who's laughing now ?
good find!
LOL

Spurstalk.... Whatever you say can and will be used against at anytime in the upcoming future
Yeah, hindsight is 20/20 right, but lets not pretend that George Hill is some shlub that can't hold a candlestick to Kawhi.
Leonard O-rating 114, D-rating 99, WS/48 .166
Hill O-rating 117, D-rating 102, WS/48 .177
Let's not pretend you didn't all over yourself in this thread.
Kawhi is the fourth option on the Spurs.
Kawhi usually guards the other teams best player and usually shuts them down.
Kawhi > Hill.
It's that simple.
You with all that egg on your face can spew all the numbers you want, that egg ain't coming off
ting all over yourself is something that's become second nature to you. I can handle one thread of distain.
Stats lie, great logic. Maybe you should take off your Spurs goggles before someone smacks you upside the head and knocks them off. Leonard is a 4th option because he's inconsistent on offense. It's even more puzzling that Pop sees him as a 4th option even with Ginobili continuing to struggle or maybe not. If he doesn't advance his offensive game to something more than canning open three's and transition dunks, you can just label him Kawhi Marion. And check your reading comprehension. I never said Kawhi wasn't better than Hill but thanks for pointing out the obvious Jimbo Jones.
Really, give me an example of a basketball take of mine as awful as yours.
You have a basketball take?
Maybe KL and Hill will meet soon...if the Pacers can win Game 7 in Miami...meh, probably not...Heat in 7, then Spurs in 5.
