Grades: Spurs Draft Dylan Harper and Carter Bryant and Trade No. 38

[Ice009]

Probably against team philosophy, but they took three rooks a few years ago -- although their timeline was very different then. I do think grabbing a rookie big and getting a veteran big in FA can work. The cost isn't very high, they start seeing what works right away, and they have the spots.

I like your idea of getting both a veteran big and a rookie big. I think that could work.

Re: trading up tonight. I don't think a couple 2nd's would get us the Boston pick + Hauser. Hauser isn't a negative asset, so I think the protected 1st or returning their swap is what it would take. To get the Minnesota pick i think it would take a return of their swap. For one of the Charlotte picks I think we are looking at two or three future 2nd's. I'd personally target Charlotte.

Paying two for one is not not paying.

It's not not not paying. Just because the Spurs love to give up picks in the 30s for seconds doesn't mean other teams will. By all means, make that offer, but they should be prepared to up their offer somehow. It would be nice if they could absorb a useful salary as part of the deal.

Come on Spurs, three picks in this draft, I think it will be a great draft. It's already been great, but a third pick with one of the bigs or Fleming could make it even better, or maybe Noah Penda if they think he could be worth it.

No, it’s not. There are 3 decent players left, and 8 picks until 38. They’d be lucky to find a taker that would swap a future pick with no cash involved.

They’ll be more than 8 teams that think they’ve seen the next Joker, Middleton, Marc Gasol or Draymond Green.

Grade is an A+

The criticism over the 38 trade is all valid, but at the end of the day it's just missing the bonus question after you nailed the rest of the test

Well done, Brian. Now it's up to the developmental staff to do their jobs

First round pretty much went perfectly. Somehow trading into the 2nd to grab Raynaud or Kalkbrenner would legitimately make this the best-case scenario I could've imagined, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

barnes plus the Atlanta 26 swap for Hauser and 32 works for me

Not seeing the need for Hauser after this draft.
