I would love to try and package some players to maybe get us some early late first or early second round picks ie. Forbes, Gasol, and Mills.
I feel the same about thybulle. Could be a decent late round option.

With Murray return, we'll have a logjam at pg/sg positions. Imo one of Mills or Forbes could be traded, i don't think Mills with his contract and the staff love will leave but forbes has some value with his cheap contrat and can bring some outside touch to a team.
maybe he can make us clim a little bit.
After hesitating about having a true pg, i think the spurs will go inside in the draft and wing. No more Pg or ps/sg.
I don’t see a PG but I do see if a legit SG falls to us I would take him as right now we have:
1. Mills - One dimension player no defense
2. Forbes - See above
3. DEROZZ- Not a fit hopefully Spurs learn to cut their losses quicker ie KY
4. White - can play SG I like him though at PG
5. Walker - Injury prone if I can find better I would
The spurs set up a draft board every year, and they draft The highest remaining player on their board when
Their pick comes up. If it’s a PG this year, that’s who they’ll draft.
Spurs should try to trade up for Hachimura. Would be a perfect fit here. New age NBA big man who can eventually take LA's spot.
This.
Rui Huchimura is who I think would be a great draft pick.

Luka Samanic
Power Forward O. Ljubljana
San Antonio Spurs
The San Antonio Spurs will receive this pick from the Toronto Raptors as part of the Kawhi Leonard trade that took place last summer.
Luka Samanic is an intriguing prospect. He has great quickness and solid shooting mechanics for a 6’11” big man. Samanic has also been able to beat defends off of the dribble, find open teammates with ease, and flashed some nice touch around the basket.
However, he has not been able to put all these pieces together. He is only shooting 22.2% from three in the Adriatic Liga this season. He can also be sloppy with the ball at times and it is fair to wonder if NBA level athleticism will take away some the quickness and vertical advantages that his game has been relying upon.
Samanic is a scary prospect, but he does a chance to be special if he can live up to his potential. With two first round picks, the Spurs can take a chance on Samanic and let him develop in Europe.19
Brandon Clarke
Power Forward Gonzaga
San Antonio Spurs
Brandon Clarke would give the San Antonio Spurs a potentially elite rim protector. He is blocking 3.1 shots per game at Gonzaga. His vertical and defensive recognition project him to be an excellent interior defender in the NBA.
Offensively, Clarke is very interesting. He can handle the basketball and beat defenders off the dribble at times. He is also great at finishing inside. Clarke is still working on his jump shot, but unlike other rim protecting/lob finishing big men Clarke has shown shooting potential. His three-point percentage has risen each season, and he has made 4 out of his 11 three-point attempts. Clarke’s ball-handling ability and shooting potential signify a high scoring upside. Keep in mind, that he is averaging 16.8 points per game for the Bulldogs this season even though he is still developing offensively.
The Spurs will likely move on from Pau Gasol this offseason, and the athletic Clarke could be a nice complement to LaMarcus Aldridge and Jakob Poeltl.

Hope we don't screw this up......no shorties and no players with weird hairstyles.
That would eliminate Forbes and White, two of our best young players.
Spurs need to steer clear from Cs. Its not worth the value of a 1st anymore unless they have an ELITE ceiling, or if theres a pressing need. There is not one right now in SA. LA, Poeltl, Milutinov, Eubanks, Metu(?)...and only 2 are going to play.
Given how teams now field 3 wings in lineups at the 4, 3, and the 2, there's a surplus of valuable big options at the center position.
Four to six years ago, teams utilized 5-6 spots on the roster to bigs because they occupied 2 spots in lineups. 120-150 jobs were available for bigs. Fast forward to 2019 and now teams utilize 2-3 spots on the roster to bigs -- which means all the bigs in the world are competing for only 60-90 jobs now.
Supply and demand. Theres now cheap/effective options everywhere you turn. Look at Thomas Bryant, and Zubac. Spurs should stop utilizing their best assets ( significant cap $, and 1sts) on role playing bigs. They can fill that back up 5 spot cheaply for the foreseeable future.
Use the 1sts on the highly valuable wings. There will always be valuable back up bigs to find on the fringe of rosters, in FA, are available via trade for cheap.

SG,SF, and PF
Wait did you just say Forbes is one of our best players? Dark times are upon us my Spurs familyThat would eliminate Forbes and White, two of our best young players.
I agree with you but if the spurs can grab a good inside guy not a true C but a PF/ modern C like Bassey, Hayes, Gafford... do you let them pass ?
we need wings and a guy who can protect the rim so i will go with a SG/SF and a PF/C in this draft

Id prefer and prioritize drafting a wing always with a 1st. So yes, Id let those guys pass.
Wing, Wing, Modern 4/Bigger wing
Not only is Forbes very good, he's very underappreciated (and getting better).Wait did you just say Forbes is one of our best players? Dark times are upon us my Spurs family
Hopefully somebody sends your thread to Pop and Drunky
Do you close your eyes when the Spurs are on defense?Not only is Forbes very good, he's very underappreciated (and getting better).
We all know the priority for this team is a wing player, preferably a SF type, but you don't want to reach for a player either, just because of need for that position. Spurs also need a big. Hopefully PATFO can comes away with both this Summer.
Spurs don't ever do that. They grade out the top 60 players, and when their pick comes, they pick the highest rated player on the board. People's heads will explode if they pick another guard, but that's why, if they do.
that's not a problem even if we have a lot of guards, they will just have to trade some of our guards. But in this draft i don't see a lot of pg or pg/sg who could be really interesting :
Except Morant, you have Garland , Tre Jones maybe Coby White or Hagans but there is more SG/SF SF/PF or PF/C.
Exactly. You develop your best young players, and then you have excess to flip for that position of need, instead of reaching for a longshot in the draft. You get a more or less proven product.
