If they could somehow end up with a Top 10 pick...
Okay, time to start a watch thread for what number the Spurs pick at. It's so volatile it might change on a day to day basis, but if Kawhi doesn't come back there's a good chance it will be the highest pick since Duncan, higher than #20 James Anderson.
As of early AM February 25, they would have the 24th pick.
If Kawhi stays out, Patty keeps losing them games, Pop keeps throwing away games like he does even when times are good, and if some more injuries creep in combined with the tough schedule, the absolute worst I could see is pick #12, but that's even hard to see. Even going 5-17 to close out the season wouldn't get them better than 12 in the lottery odds as I see it. 40 wins is 40 wins.
Lotto odds, should it come to that:
#12 slot = 0.7% chance at #1, 0.8% chance at #2, 1.0% chance at #3
#13 slot = 0.6% at #1, 0.7% at #2, 0.9% at #3
#14 slot = 0.5% at #1, 0.6% at #2, 0.7% at #3
If they could somehow end up with a Top 10 pick...
If the Spurs traded Aldridge for picks/young players and didn't re-sign Gasol and Mills last summer, they'd end up with a top5 pick in the 2018 NBA Draft.
*Re-sign Kawhi this summer if he wants.
*Trade him for picks/young players if he doesn't want to stay.
Win-Win
Quick one year rebuild!
Is this a strong draft class?
I'd say legitimately strong, although with a lot of big guys in a small guy era.
Given how few non-playoff teams are left on the Spurs schedule, and the fact other West teams have a lot more games against teams that are going to be tanking... expecting a good pick relative to past years. But also could fall out of the playoffs.
The draft is very top heavy. Not nearly as deep as it was last year.
However, there's a few guys I still really like int he mid teens to mid 20s.
Yeah this draft is not as strong as last year but a couple of players could help us. Man I am hoping the Spurs can either do a trade to get another mid first and a early second. And if they can’t do that then freaking buy a mid round pick Someone is always selling.
Need to get rid of Forbes, Brandon Paul, the French dude.
My draft would be: 1st round
1. DeAndre Hunter SF/SG 6’8 (MaNu4tres) is pimping this guy and I am on his bandwagon he is good
2. Robert Williams PF/C 6’9 Is a Beast the enforcer we always have needed
3. Dzanan Musa SF 6’9 - Good player that has all the skill sets to help us.
4. Ömer Yurtseven- C/PF if Paul is traded I would like him as his replacement. ( would though still bring in our other foreign Center)
2nd Round:
Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk SG 6’8 kid reminds me a lot of Manu we better get him.
As you can see no freaking midgets and no slow mo players.
I'd say strong ... to quite strong.
28th pick upcoming.
When is PATFO going to have enough of Patty? 35, 37 minutes? Wtf? What are they doing?
currently pick 23.
Patty putting in the work!
That's the only logical reason I see Patty leading the team in minutes the past 3 games, all while boosting his value heading towards the summer.
My top 3 Spurs big board picks for pick #17-25
1. DeAndre Hunter
2. Mitc Robinson
3. Zhaire Smith
Just get one of these players. Try for two.
Takes us home Paddy to det 10th overall pick
No one hits nothing but air like you in the 4th, Paddy
He can’t be boosting his value if he’s heading a tank.
Patty trying to earn his contract in ways that Spursfan couldn't even fathom.
I expect nothing less than a third point guard in a third straight draft.
and for the Spurs to reup Tony right?
I actually might cry.
You've seen the tweets that if the Spurs lose to the Rockets they'll be 10th in the west, which would mean the 13th pick slot.
So lets go over some tiebreakers against the other teams involved in the west playoffs chase, from an nba.com 2010 article
(-) Tie breaker not needed (better overall winning percentage)
(1) Division leader wins tie from team not leading a division
(2) Head-to-head won-lost percentage
(3) Division won-lost percentage (only if tied teams are in same division)
(4) Conference won-lost percentage
(5) W-L Percentage vs. Playoff teams, own conference
(6) W-L Percentage vs. Playoff teams, other conference
(7) Net Points, all games
Spurs current division record: 7-5. 2 games remaining against HOU (including 3-12), 2 games vs NO
Other teams Head-to-Head record and division records
Portland - 1-1, 1 more game on 4-7 at home
New Orleans - 0-2, 2 more home and away. Division 6-4
Minnesota - 1-1, 1 game left at home
Oklahoma City - 1-2, 1 home game left
LA Clippers - 2-0, 1 road game left
Denver - 2-2
Utah - 0-3, 1 home game left
After division record is conference record:
Spurs before 3-12 against Houston: 21-19
Portland 25-15
New Orleans 20-20
Minnesota 29-13
Oklahoma City 23-20
LA Clippers 22-19
Denver 24-21
Utah 24-16
Looks like they have the leg up on the Clippers in a tie. For tank to work best, LAC has to have a better record.
But on the flipside Utah owns the tiebreaker and can just tie SA.
By my calculation we would have the 18th pick.....Is this correct?.....thanks
Damn need to fall into 16 I really want Robert Williams
not if patty has anything to say about that
Can you elaborate on “your calculation”? Do you mean as things currently stand or if they lose to HOU tonight and become the 10th seed?
I'm gonna trade down. I can get three EuroTrash in the 3rd or 4th.
