I think KD will be a Spur one day...

Never understood the Keldon hate on this board for being the 29th pick we have gotten a pretty good return on investment. Not Manu good but that was once in a lifetime. How much more do you expect from a player drafted #29 when players drafted #1 are often underwhelming?

I don’t hate Keldon at all. I do recognize that he is not in the same category of draft pick and player as our top 4 selections. Castle was a better player in year one than Keldon was in year six. That’s the difference between pick #4 and even a good outcome for pick #29.

Keldon indeed has outperformed pick #29… although he’s only the 3rd best Spurs #29 pick in the 4 years between 2016-19

Why are some people so desperate?

Spurs are going to get there(and it's going to be soon - a couple of years) to build a championship team with a long window for success.
Don't trade #2 or #14 or any other future draft picks. Stay on the course they initially wanted to go on, build through the draft.

Provided that we don't give up more than what is being rumoured, this Durant trade is anything but desperate. It is a perfectly calculated low risk/high reward move.

If it hits, you get a championship. If it goes reasonably normal, you get playoffs experience. If it doesn't work out at all, KD gets off the books just in time to pay our young studs (Wemby, Castle, Harper). It's literally a "can't lose" move, tbh.

Rascal only has two basketball takes when it comes to team building... keep all of your draft picks and draft springy black man.
