Why would it go lower than 15th?
I don’t know if it’s been discussed but the lottery selection got moved up 5 days it’s gonna be on august 20th now
Why would it go lower than 15th?
So we have 17 players at the moment, including the two ways (Eubanks and Q)
Eubanks is on his last 2 way since it is for two years max
Plus the two draft picks
So we cant assume we are bringing back all our free agents, right? (Beli being the obvious odd man out)
We are over capacity...there would have to be a trade.
The Magic or Wizards can get 15.
I see. So worst case is 16th
Murray, White, Walker, DDR, LMA, Lyles, KJ, Luka, Gay, Mills, 1st round pick, Jakob=12
Beli seems unlikely to return.
Forbes probably 50/50
Metu is cheap and improving but still a 4th string center so probably not.
Zeller- Not returning
Eubanks could be signed to an deal with the Spurs
Q will likely be back on a two-way deal
The 41st pick will likely be signed to a two-way deal so the Spurs should have either 1 or 2 roster spots free.
Crap, I had Googled the lottery date and it said the 25th still.
21 days til the lottery!
I started looking forward to the Lottery when I realized Popovich was keeping Forbes in the starting lineup.
17th. Hypothetically, we could make the playoffs, and pass both of them.
Forbes out tomorrow Night against the Kings.
Spurs also need a SF that is comfortable in the post - sometimes you need to run the offense in the post depending on the flow of the game.
Why does it have to be a SF? We have Aldridge. Though I guess the problem with Aldridge is he has only one speed....
We need someone that can run offense both on the perimeter and post - preferably a SF.
On what basis though? Because championships are won that way? Is it though? In this era? With exception to Raptors last year.
And by running the offense I mean part of their offensive skill set - they can transition to the post throughout the game. Sure it can be a mobile PF as well. Spurs did it in 2014 -2016 with Kawhi/Diaw, I would use #OperationPostUp all the time.
IMO just an added wrinkle when a primary perimeter player has a back to basket game.
Someone eventually needs to replace Aldridge. I think it should be Daniel Oturu with our 2nd round pick. Literally the only player in the draft with a post game.
Trade it for Rudy Gobbert
gobert, royce oneal 1st pick for lma 1st pick
recently im wondering bout trading down in a draft bc there are more pf/c than in the middle of draft. We are stuck with guards and keldon seems to be a decent starter at SF so maybe thats a solution.
I doubt he drops that far in the draft even if we pick in the early 40’s for the 2nd round
I've looked into it already, its not really worth it. The only other team with multiple 1sts is Boston. 17 and 26 isn't worth trading down from 11 tbh.
If anything, they need to be looking to trade up.
My big board for the Spurs draft... Tyler Bey rises and Precious drops a bit.
tier 1
deni
onyeka
obi
tier 2
tyler bey
precious achiuwa
patrick williams
reggie perry
tier 3
jalen smith
paul reed
daniel oturu
xavier tillman
I can see him playing the 4 for us in that Rudy Gay role.
If the top tier guys aren’t available, Tyler Bey is a solid pickup
If White maintains the aggressiveness and confidence he's shown recently, I wouldn't trade him. If they are going to look to package him with 11 to attempt to move up to 5 though, that should be the extent of the offer.
Not saying we should do this but I wonder if the nets would trade jarret Allen for the 11th pick. Next season with KD and Kylie being healthy most likely they’ll want deandre Jordan on the court with them
