Official 2011 NBA Draft Thread

[baseline bum]

Now I'm just hoping to see Scotty Hopson go 60.

[dbestpro]

Bertans or Benson.

[baseline bum]

I bet these gots take Selby.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Exactly. It appears at the momnet the Spurs have decided to do nothing vs making an actual decision to either rebuild or push forward. They can't be delusional and think they are true contenders especially when their best Players don't believe that.

This is true. I do see it as rebuilding though. Theres nothing to say that a mid-season dramatic trade involving Parker is out of the question, or that Duncan is coming back after next season (which means we will suck and get a high draft pick after that season).

These two picks from tonight will be hitting their stride. Who knows?

I see what yall are saying but I do see it as rebuilding.

What I also want to mention is that if the Spurs were not so god-damned stupid with their European draft strategy in the Scola era, we would be, for lack of a better word, pretty stacked.

Spurs draft strategy is on the right track now. Can't about that.

[Thompson]

Lakers pick Morris. Bertans still there if Spurs want him.

[jesterbobman]

Morris to LAL.

[baseline bum]

No commercial break? WTF?

[Libri]

Lakers pick Darius Morris.

[Tyrone Jenkins]

Hmmmm....

[Russ]

Bertans is there if they want him. (Wasn't the rumor that they promised to take him at 29?)

[GSH]

Cleveland has Irving, BDavis, and Sessions. Why would they want a fourth point? Come on people.

I was just horsing around. Trying to come to grips with how seriously ed we are. I really thought Cleveland might take RJ with Jordan Hamilton. But no, nobody else is going to be interested in giving Joseph first round money.

I also said earlier that I don't think Lorbek is even interested in the NBA.

We are so screwed. Re-building, but not committed to re-building.

[benefactor]

I'd really like to see them take Bertans here. Great second round value for a stash.

[dragonpride2001]

here we go

[Libri]

Drum roll please. The Spurs pick.........

[Bruno]

Bruno, provided he wants to, could Lorbek come over to the Spurs in time for the season, or does he have contractual / buyout issues that necessitate waiting another year or so?

From what other have said, he has a NBA friendly contract. He will be a free agent next summer and has a reasonable buyout for this summer.

The big question mark is about his motivation to come overseas. Playing for Spurs should motivate him more than playing for Pacers.

[Chomag]

this Pick should be the Spurs shouldn't it?

[manufan10]

They still have Pacers on the board for #42.

[Uriel]

Holy crap! Bertans really could be available at 42! *fingers crossed*

[Spursfanfromafar]

Chad Ford was reporting the Spurs really love James Anderson, so Hill becomes redundant if so.

Fair enough, but why replace redundancy with mediocrity? Couldn't they have explored the option of gaining a front court player in return? Heck, they could have asked for Josh McRoberts for Hill + the 42.. and swapped 15 and 29.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

The trade doesn't mean we're rebuilding.

People need to look at it as Anderson/Leonard for Hill. Think time will prove that to be an upgrade for us.

[ace3g]
