Spurs Trade Pick #33 to the Timberwolves for Two Future Second Round Picks

[MI21]

I understand the amount of picks the Spurs have in the pipeline, so I don't mind trading it, but for two seconds. Honestly, how many seconds do we need ffs.

[Bruno]

So Spurs will have 5 second round picks in 2028 (San Antonio, Denver, Minny, Miami and New Orleans)...

It looks super useful..

[offset formation]

Anyone recall the thread (no clue which one) where I argued that 2nd round picks were basically useless, unless they were right at the top, and kind of got torched for it by a majority on here, yet many are making the same argument tonight. Just an observation more than anything else.

I repeat, second rounders more often than not on average shake out of the league within 2 years.

So my hope is that we ac ulate enough to trade it for at least a mid to late round trade up in a future draft or that several will be packaged as filler in a future sign and trade for a free agent down the road.

What a stark reminder that BWrong is still the GM

[Mr. Body]

Hunter Tyson above Trayce Jackson-Davis?

I thought TJD would be a great pick for Denver.

They're becoming much more valuable with the new CBA. Teams need cheap contracts badly. But as they start unwinding their bad contracts, we might see their value diminish once again.

[Davidicus]

Goes to show PATFO really is serious in assessing Wemby and how the current roster pieces fit before making ANY moves. At 33, they must have perceived risk too high/ability to make the right call too low, even with decent talent on the board, vs doubling up their chips for later once they know what they’re looking for.

[objective]

Wemby increases franchise value by one billion, yet Spurs still so cheap they're going to sell off 44 aren't they?

[BatManu20]

Honestly drafting someone at 33 and them turning out to be a bust/wasted pick is still better than trading for future SRP’s that are likely to be in the 40’s at best, especially when you already have 20 damn SRP’s over the next 6 years to begin with tbh. There’s simply no reason to collect this many SRP’s. They become useless after awhile, unless they’re in top-5 of the 2nd Round, like the one we just traded

Isn't he the guy who got that package for Murray and got stuff for a departing Poeltl? The summer doesn't end with the draft.

[The Truth #6]

Hopefully my guy Walsh is who they want but feel they can get him at 44 still.

It's an asset. I don't understand why you guys think an asset has less value because you have a lot of them. So little value that you should waste it on players you don't want.

[Robz4000]

Rayan Rupert still on the board at 40...

[Mugen]

Good point. I should wait for when he brings back KBD and Dieng for zero ing reason

[K...]

Second round picks will be most valuable after the spurs fill the cap space. So shipping them to the future is fine. They still have too many

[Marcus Bryant]

Spurs are going to have a ton of rookies over the next 5 years with all of the picks they have, not to mention the youth on the current roster.

[Mugen]

Honestly, I'd be happier if they sell the #44 pick than I was for Wemby at #1. I really need to drive home the fact that this FO is dumb AF when they're not lucky

[CGD]

I'm not worried. They just drafted 3 rookies last year, and seem to want to see what they got in Barlow too. No need to add more to that unless it was an obvious pick (not sure that was Rupert honestly). Also, if things go well the Spurs will start being buyers in probably 2 years, and these things skid the gears.

Actually this is a good point. The Spurs might end up being a taxpaying team, or close to it, by the time a lot of those seconds come due because Wemby will be on his second contract. That's when it will be useful to have cheap players coming in. With so many seconds in 2028 specifically I can see the Spurs trying to roll a few of those forward into 2030 and 2031.

[benefactor]

They always manage to do some stupid .

You literally only show up here to post stupid

[BatManu20]

Hornets taking my guy Amari Bailey at 41.

[Mr. Body]

Yeah you gotta feel the Spurs are getting rid of this one too.

[Mr. Body]

Just realized Charlotte picked up Colby Jones, Nick Smith Jr., and now Amari Bailey.

That's... a lot of rookie guards.

yes it is very difficult to find room for a second round rookie this year

will be much easier to find room for the 20+ second rounders we'll have in the next 6-7

Wright fell asleep again?? I should’ve known that “working hard to move up on 1st round” is another smoke
