All y’all goons saying pre draft Trey Murphy just a middle of the pack talent. LOL
Trey Murphy just got traded/swapped as the 10th pick
Hopefully new Austin ownership is not as cream puffy as Holt and heads roll for this obvious mishandling of lottery pick.

That's a non-starter because PATFO is still butthurt about Morris and aren't talking to the Knicks. You're more likely to see them deal with the Lakers.
I think they don't see themselves paying Walker what he wants. I could be wrong bc Primo is so young that maybe they don't even see the conflict this way, but do think they will trade out one guard, or more likely let him go in FA... Which is still bad. If you don't see yourself paying for Walker bc he hasn't developed, he needs to be traded. What are they doing here?
Get this kid on the Hidayet Turkoglu Giannis hormone regimen STAT
the wine boys, Pop and RC, are behind it guys, as usual.
Now all we need is Paul Millsap and it’s a perfect Spurs offseason
I actually don't know if there was much of a trade-back market. A lot of teams just kinda gave their firsts away this year. I'm not sure any of them valued paying more money to get a guy if they didn't really want anyone in the first place. Picking Primo, even where they did, is fine. They get good value out of their players, and if they think an 18-year-old is that value, then it makes sense to go ahead and do it. I certainly wouldn't've preferred taking two bad firsts like OKC did with 16 or a nebulous future first like NKY did with 19. It's possible too that GM actually didn't like this draft, despite the early suggestions that it was far better than last year. If teams were willing will to give late-firsts away like that, then maybe the Spurs getting two of those firsts wasn't a good plan.
Again, it's the everything else around this pick that's shaky or ty. The pick, while fine, tells us nothing about how the FO plans to attack the off-season. It should tell us that SA is looking at a decent-sized trade. But we can't actually can't tell that because PATFO will definitely run eight guards. Not clearly moving back toward a traditional lineup is a bad outcome in my mind, and even signing bigs won't change that. They have to move guards off the team.
No, he was picked 17.
Spurs had two 1sts that year which softened the blow.
Very happy for young Mr. Primo. But the Spurs are out of their freaking minds.
We were and I was, imo, the apathy is rampant this time around. We all half expected this
Pop is in Tokyo And got the time zone difference mixed up and thought we were in second round already.
lol the reaction today is BECAUSE they did the same thing for Samanic.
Hey, at least this guy actually likes basketball.
This is what I'm saying, too. Knicks, even if they would ever trade with the Spurs (or vice versa) actually traded out of the mid-round. OKC was the other suitor and I don't think they wanted to go up. Then there was Houston with two picks in the high-mid 20s and by then the risk was too high someone was going after Primo.
It's frustrating, to be sure, but I don't think there was a market there.

I said "Most people stop growing at 18. Very few people grow after that age." You are pretty much proving my point. David Robinson was the rare exception of someone who grew after 18.
Samanic is questionable as Keldon is already at the Olympics, and both last years picks Vassell (insert Halliburton?? here) and Tre were already seeing minutes, while Samanic doesn’t even sniff the court yet.
I like to be proven wrong, but I have questions on how PATFO has been performing, or underperforming, really.
These are words, but they don't mean anything.
Seems like every 2nd round scrub will be following the Primo formula in order to get drafted by the Spurs. All you have to do is bull about culture and character and you're automatically on the shortlist for getting drafted.
Jager and Eric Salinas have any cred?
He played alot as a feshman at bama,and was an all sec fresh. Theres something there to be sure. He will be fun to watch when he finally sees the floor. Spurs going for broke here
He's a baby. Definitely not destined for this season.
reminds me of when the Knicks took Renaldo Balkman at 20, and their defense to criticism was that they heard that Phoenix really liked him and had 2 picks before the Knicks picked at 29. Well, good for them that they outfoxed Phoenix and took a guy who couldn't cut it in the Philippines league.
