You know we been pretty lucky have players banged up but for the most part have avoided major injuries- As far as next year I see pretty much see a rinse and repeat unless a major injury to one of our starters then possibly a top 5 pick
Unfortunately, I think the Spurs have just run into a case of bad luck, having money to spend this summer but few great targets, especially at PF. Big picture though, it's not a huge deal. It's not like they're competing for a championship next year. If the Spurs win 43 games next year, I'll be thrilled.

Like jovic but it's going to be 2025 before he can be counted on to contribute.
Allow me to disagree. Those last 10 games or so have have shown some clear promises as far as players development and team global improvement. They've notably beaten GS, Utah and Denver, and lost closes games vs. Minny and Memphis.
There's a core of young players who have gained confidence and will necessarily continue to improve next year. Add to that 3 FRPs plus cap and I have no doubt SA will be better next year.
If the bridge hasn’t been burned completely it might be worth inviting Samanic back to next year’s training camp…
That’s almost anyone we draft. Year 3 seems to be the breakout.
This isn't confusing, man. I don't think Primo and Jones have different statlines, and I think any Spur would do as well or better. Jones doesn't look good, he just looks like he should. He's a guy drafted into the NBA playing against guys who weren't good enough to be in the NBA, while also getting developmental priority. There's a reason why guys like Forbes and Eubanks looks awesome in Austin.Is Josh Primo a Spur??
Without getting Eason involved, my point was I’d do Kai for our 1st (if not top 4) straight up. I’m clearly in the minority. I’m cool with that. Watch some of the games Chinook, not just the boxscore, highlights and advanced stats.
I wouldn't trade anything except maybe the Boston or Lakers pick for him. Anyone the Spurs draft would likely be able to go into Austin and play as well as Jones did this year, while also having and additional developmental year. It doesn't have to be Eason.
Sounds about right…. He’s not needed anytime soon! Roster spots and cap space is important to consider.
Yup. It's unlikely the FO is willing to take on 3 first round rookie contracts and that there are actually 3 players available that they like. So Jovic at 20 something would be a pretty good way out, since he's VERY young, talented, and at a position in demand... you let him develop a couple of years, and if it pans out it's jackpot, if not you trade his rights away. But I have my doubts he'd be available by the Toronto pick, since I believe the mocks may be going more by the NCAA hype than actual Front Offices (Oklahoma, Houston, Minnesota, Denver, etc...) will. It's either that or moving up using a combination of Toronto, Boston and Lakers' picks plus whatever to get into the late lottery and try and snatch Sochan. Coming away from the draft with Eason + Sochan (unless we draft top 4) would be a very successful scenario IMO, since they're both versatile enough to address our needs without causing a logjam.
He's a sharpshooter hitting 34% from 3. That's pretty much it.
I let it go a long time ago. He's not a defensive liability though. He's not a McDermott.let this one go, scrah
Does anyone know the contract situation for Jovic? I wonder if he would be open to staying overseas for another year or is that just unrealistic this day and age.

signed a multi-year contract with Mega.Seems like he signed a contract for multiple years just one year ago. Does not give details regarding length, but nowadays there's always some buyout clause. He seemed content and focused on developing there, but that quote is one year old. Given that he's not yet 19, I would think it shouldn't be a problem leaving him there one more year.I look forward to continuing my development at my Mega Club
he is tho. the occasional weakside block doesnt change that
Thanks for the info, I’m definitely a fan of leaving him there for 1 year if the Spurs don’t like potential trade options.
They certainly don’t have to package these pics to move up in the draft. I have no issue if they want to put any combination of 2 out of 3 of our pics to trade for a player that moves the needle. Even if he’s just north of our age timeline. This team could really make some noise with 1 additional impactful player. I have no issue with eating up cap space for the right trade.
I'm not a draft guru. Don't have the time or patience to do the research. But I really liked what I saw of Brady Manek in the Final against the Kansas team. Manek produced 13 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds and four blocks in 36 minutes during Monday's 72-69 loss to Kansas.ANALYSIS
Manek was the only Tar Heel player to record multiple three-point baskets in a contest that also saw the fifth-year senior post his season-best rebounding total. His lone season with the Tar Heels has been the best in a variety of ways, as he finished the year on a streak of 19 straight games in double figures en route to a career-high 15.1 ppg average. Manek has also posted career bests in shooting percentage (49.3) and three-point percentage (40.3).
In addition, the guy has some swagger and fight in him. Could we draft him? Is he in our range?
He will be undrafted, because he is slow and unathletic. He was a bad defender in college. He would be an unspeakable one in the NBA.
Can Murray wait for 3 more years? Or is the help already in Spurs uniform, with Keldon, Vassell, Collins and Co improving, and maybe just solidifying the defense at 4 with a good size pickup, not necessarily a scorer.
I don't think Jones is rangey enough to really play the 4 the way people here are thinking.
Bridges is going to get vastly overpaid, and he's restricted anyway. Robert Covington can shoot the 3, but he's really a SF. After that, the free agent class is either over the hill or can't climb the hill. Trying to pry anyone loose from an accomplished stretch 4 would cost at least one player that people would scream about losing. So it's probably the draft, and someone who isn't going to dominate the way people here want for a year or two.
If they do get ping pong balls, there are some obvious choices. But if they don't, Sochan is probably the most likely to fall to the Spurs' pick. I'm not excited about him, like some are. I liked EJ Liddell a lot more until someone here pointed out that he's really only 6'5.5" without shoes.
Outside the top 6 or so picks, I have to say that Eason looks like the biggest-impact PF on the board. There isn't a thing about his game that I wouldn't welcome on this team as a rookie. I was kind of negative becase he's been a me-first player, in my opinion. But he's young, and he's tough which the Spurs can definitely use.
Pretty much nobody here bites when I say this, but Jabari Walker is going to have a lot of teams kicking themselves within a couple of years, especially if he lands with the right team. He needs to hit the weight room for 15-20 lbs. to play the 4, but I really think he's got the motor and the personal drive to do that.
Eason is my first choice for an after-6th pick, and Walker is my bargain pick.
You can’t have it both ways. You can’t state, “Any Spur would dominate in the G-League” and also, “Josh Primo’s stat are mediocre in the G-League”.
It’s OK to be wrong, but not to double down and try and gaslight the conversation, especially when it’s out in the open.
We can disagree on the effectiveness of reps. and quality of compe ion in G-League basketball. (I think it’s improved considerably in the last few years btw).
That’s fine, you wouldn’t give up anything other than the 20-25 pick for him. Let’s leave it there and move on.
Go check his defensive metrics while on the Spurs.
go check them in recent years
Sounds like a good Bertans, Bonner going away present for Pop!
