I’ve not lived in SA in a while. How plugged in is Harris these days?

Doesn't make sense if Spurs letting the league known that they're prepping for 2023 NBA Draft, other teams will:
1. probably asking more now once the Spurs are looking to trade their players for a 2023 pick/s
2. be hesitant to making a trade with Spurs because of how they're interested unless that team looking to trade is really desperate
3. make a run or be intrigued with 2023 Draft Class as well
This is assuming if the reports or rumors are true.
I didn't say that...I said it'd give us a shot to get into the mid to late lottery. DJ isn't elevating that team unless they can add another player to he and Trae...maybe they can but wouldn't have much left to offer after they acquire DJ...
A trade that gives NY cap space for their unprotected 1st will still require assets from Atlanta + some of our cap space to get it done...so if we end up with the NY and Atl unprotected picks for 2023 along with a couple protected future firsts from Atlanta is a good deal for this franchise. It give us an opportunity to create a championship window down the road and we don't have a pathway to get there as presently constructed.
If I’m a Knick fan I would be absolutely distraught that my team is pursuing Brunson over DJM right now.
No clue..
I'd really like to hear timvp's take...his sources have been good as of late..
what do you want to do with mid lottery picks? I thought we need a franchise player in the top 6? It would not even be guaranteed that the Spurs get into the top 6 unless they tank on purpose
Totally agree
No way this level headed overly pragmatic front office attempts to stock pile picks believing that they can will their way to the 1st pick.
No amount of draft capital will be enough to trade for that 1st pick either.
Mid lottery picks just increase your chance of getting a high pick because you have more balls in the lottery... that plus our own pick would give us a decent chance to move one of them up.
yea that sounds re ed
Not one person is talking about trading for the #1 pick after the lottery....it's all about increasing our chances of drawing the #1 pick in the lottery..
If anyone recalls, I said on draft night that given the following information: <<PATFO wants Primo running point, we drafted 2 more guards, both ball heavy in the FIRST round, and the #9 pick is also extremely efficient running the offense and ball handling at the top of the key>>
that this team was setting itself up for multiple trades or transactions at the guard position, including likely Murray.
Yet, I was told repeatedly that everything was copacetic and we were fine having like 8 guards on the roster because some would play wing. Yet neither one of the new draftees is above 6'5" in shoes. Well, although nothing has happened yet, but my intuition is looking to be right.
What are the incidents that people have mentioned? I don't remember them.
Seriously.
That screams of twitter fingers thinking Pop still has full control on his way out. There was a time that may have been the case and even at that time it wouldn’t be made public that Pop was sitting there contemplating a stamp of approval.
Sounds like pure speculation from someone with no real insight.
Knicks would have to give up assets to get Murray while they can sign Brunson after their draft night trades becomes official.
Our FO has never shown an inkling to trade proven all star talent for better “odds”.
Also, how come we only have one minutes to do edits on the message board?
Our FO has never been in a position where their best player simultaneously has real value and an inability to take this team to a championship level.
This is absurdly putting everything on DJ’s shoulders as if the players around him has no bearing on whether the team is successful or not.
One major detail that I dont think people have mentioned is the hawks new GM is Landry Fields who was a scout and I think GM for the Austin Spurs.
This would be such an anti-Spur move that I would be shocked if it goes through.
If the Spurs trade Murray it will be to go into a full blown rebuild. Where does Pop fit in that? I don't see the old man accepting to keep working just to lose on purpose.
Not really DJ’s fault the FO hasn’t surrounded him with better players. DJ could is a leader and do it all player perfect for the as the 2nd or 3rd option in a more talented team. Get him more talent.
