It's crazy how by the end of this month, will determine our future for the next 4 years... Something big going to happen.
Anything can happen next Thursday night. In fact, I just saw this article:

Ummmmmm..................that article is from late April. Prior to the draft lottery. I dont believe its very valid anymore.
Yeah, I tagged it in the other thread he posted it in, too. Old news, and invalid, since we didn’t move up.
We don't know what will happen.
It can just as well go no trades other than a trade out of pick 20 and Sochan at 9,
trade 20 for a future protected first round pick and Procida at 25 for a foreign stash and who knows at 38.
All good looking at riding the TANK harder this upcoming season and then we got something we can cook with
jesus, how long have we been saying this ?!
We've been saying this for a while, but to put things in perspective . . .
The last three years (the Wilderness Years) the Spurs have been in contention until at least the last day of the season.
In the "Bubble Season" (an asterisk if there ever was one) the Spurs were in the hunt for the play-in until the last day of the "regular" season.
The next two (last two) seasons the Spurs were in the play-in.
In other words, the Spurs haven't been out of contention prior to the end of the season since 1997.
Not saying that the Spurs have been true le contenders the last few years (they haven't), not saying that they may not be in "middle-of-the-road" purgatory (maybe, but I don't think so).
But let's not march off the cliff just yet.
I don't know if I like the play-in games and if I would categorize a team that finished 9th or 10 as being in contention. I guess it's exciting, but in a regular season (if there was no interruptions), the team that finished 7th and 8th should be in the playoffs. I can understand if the season was disrupted, but I don't think it's fair that the teams that made 7th and 8th have a chance to get knocked out with a loss or two (what if the team that finished 7th has injuries going into the playoff game? Why should they be put in a position to get knocked out after all the work they put in throughout the season).
What do you guys think of the play-in games and system? Do you think it should be scrapped?
There are a ton more quality games. And I thought the series were more compe ive. As a fan it should stay.
Really like...one season because this past season was the only thing that could even resemble a tank.
Whatever we were doing with the likes of DeRozan/Aldridge/Gay....it wasn't tanking.
And I wouldn’t say last year was a tank. Spurs young rebuilding team was compe ing till the very end (to much of ST disgust).
ST logic-pull for the franchise to intentionally put out a crappy product so as to tank bust still about the lack of filled seats in the AT&T stadium and the prospect of losing the team to another city.
nobody was going to the games lst season anyway
i know but people have been begging or expecting a tank since kawhi left.
I saw a listing of 18 mocks and the most common players the Spurs ended up with at each pick were--
#9 Duren
#20 Jovic
#25 Liddell/LaRavia
that's my point.
Hopefully with the pandemic seemingly in limbo fans pick up and the spurs put a winner back on the floor
