I voted more on what I would like to see happen. I think if we can move up in the top 10 and find a great wing we trade up with both picks.
From what looks like the first time ever the Spurs may end up having two first round picks. The purpose of this poll is to see what people think may happen with these picks

I think the picks right now will be between 10-15 and 27 - 30.
Keep both. Spurs will get killed in a trade unless they find another Indiana which, in case they do, obviously you should try to trade up.
Trade up to draft Rui Hachimura
x1000 do whatever it takes to bring that child to SA (and make sure your uncle likes the place)
Toronto will finish with a top 2 record - that pick won't be so great. Extremely late firsts are barely any better than early 2nds. Spurs pick depends entirely on whether Pop is adamant about making playoffs or not. At the moment, the Spurs do not have a playoff caliber roster. They're currently behind a rebuilding team like the Mavs which is pretty embarrassing for an organization that's not intentionally tanking. Pop might try to make a desperation move in order to eke out a playoff berth.
Agreed, and that's why I think trading both to try to get into the 5-10 range is the right move, if possible.
You know you are getting good talent in that range. I'd rather the Spurs try to develop one sure thing over two shots in the dark.
I would trade one If it meant that this team could get off salary and take back a player that could help them this season and next.
I.e Mills and Gasol plus pick for Porter
I will keep both, if We could have a good player this season ala porter i will trade the Raptors pick.
To have two picks is a really good thing, you could have valuable player even with a late pick. We could add some depth and youth.
I think our pick will be in the 13-18 range baring a team improving trade while Toronto's pick will be 27-30.
Say it ends up being the 17th and 29th pick; not sure how much they could move up, but I would trade both to move up if it means that the Spurs could get up to ,say, 12th and take a top wing prospect.
Bring back Gay on a two year deal, stretch Gasol, bring Militinov over (though that is probably going to cost $4 million of the MLE), and use the rest of the MLE to bring in another player

The way it's looking right now, there's no reason to think of those two picks as being related. If the Spurs are a mid-to-low lottery team, the extra first won't have enough value to do more than move them up a spot. Getting a decent player for four years is worth more than that. If the team really does get something like the 10th pick, they should be able to snag a good forward, whether that's Hunter, Hachimura, Doubouya, King, Little or Grant. If for some reason all of those guys are gone in the first nine picks, then there should be an elite prospect at another position to draft. It's not ideal to pick up yet another guard, but some of the SGs have decent size, and the PGs wouldn't hurt seeing as DeRozan may be an expiring next summer and Derrick White hasn't shown he could take the job leading the bench.
The second pick is dicier. There are more forwards who could be around then, like Lawson, Bazley, Washington and Samanic. Someone like Jontay Porter may also be lurking, and at that range, PGs make even more sense. It's just much harder to predict who will be around then this early in the season. Even another Cory Joseph would be fine value at the selection. The question is whether such a pick can be more valuable as a trade piece either this year or in June. I'm not sure. Part of me prefers the Spurs to be buyers and make a move for a player like Porter to shore up that D. However, part of me also wants the team to trade away as much detritus from the roster as possible. I don't want a rebuild, so big moves like LMA or DMDR aren't really my wish. But pretty much every other vet should be on the block in an effort to improve the picks the Spurs have. They might be better served to wait until June to consider such trades, but if they can get eighth and 20th while clearing some cap space, this season will not feel so wasted.
Agree
that’s why i prefer To keep both picks, offcourse if we could move To a 5-10 pick i will trade them but we’ll probably have To give more.
I prefer a 16-18 pick and 27 than a 11-12 for exemple.
Keep them. Better chance of Drunkford getting lucky and drafting someone not ing garbage if he drafts twice in the first round
It's all about the individual player. I would have taken Walker at eight if I were PATFO and had the chance. The only debateable player would have been Mikal Bridges. In that regard, the Spurs got a top-10 pick without having to give up anything. If the same player (say Hachimura) is around at both 11 and 16, then trading the other first doesn't make sense. But of course, you won't know that until/unless you get to 16 with Rui still on the board. Quite the gamble. Could be worth it, though, to be able to double-dip with a guy like Wilkes and double your chances of getting an impact forward.
I totally agree, best case is that they draft the player they want with their pick and then trade the late one for a better player or just draft another good prospect.
I am hoping for 7 to 10 first and hopefully Toronto stumbles and we get 24. This also allows us to get a high second round we can get a good PG/SG
I wasn’t on board with a tank last season but I am a lot more sympathetic to that point than I was then and I am one of those swing thinkers on this point. They just aren’t good right now. They are very flawed and don’t have a chance to win even a single series if they sneak in the playoffs.
I think there are moves they could make to improve but they will cost assets. In fact assets they might need if this ship is going south. It feels like putting a bandaid on a gash wound. But at the same time, on others games it looks like a couple of moves might help them. I am not going to pretend to be armchair GM or 2k GM here. But I’d tell you what I would hate. Precisely another No 18 pick and a 29. You can get a good player at 18, with a small chance at a great one, but you also can gamble hard and miss widely or get an injury prone risky guy that fell. I want someone better than that. Or better chances at a better player. So I suppose that means I want a tank.
OTOH, I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a move or two out there the Spurs can do to turn the ship around. If that’s out there to be had, I’d be happy to have been wrong on my tank preference.
Spurs should keep both. I trust their ability to draft for the most part. I don't think packaging a late first with the 12-16 pick is going to move us up much anyway and no point wasting a pick this year to get better. Unless it's to get a good young player under contract
u keep those picks, draft and develop...no more leaving them in europe bull ...need guys to come in and develop with the young core atm that will ripe in 2-3 years together
get rid of the vets like pau, ty mills... = whatever culture they bring
dunno how much extension did lma get, but he doesnt play like his worth 20m asking price...
Probably retain both in season, then see how the draft plays out before contemplating attempting to move up. It's going to be difficult though, because their own pick is looking like a lottey one and in the range that the Raptors one, at it's best, was likely to get them into. Now that pick looks like it's going to be at it's worst, which obviously also lessens it's own value.
So in the end, in typical Spurs fashion, most likely nothing.
Porter makes sense, but is more than likely a pipe dream. I could see them having interest in Stanley Johnson (rumored as recently as last season), but the only way they should even consider giving the Raptors pick up for him, is if they take Belinelli.
People act like we going to trade Forbes and get a All Star. Smh. The only way we are going to get better is by tanking hard this year we need to get in the 4 to 9 range to get a Great player. Also hoping that Toronto falls a little bit so our second pick falls 20 to 25. Then we got another high second round pick which would help improve our sucky bench.
After this season cut dead weight Cunningham, Londexter, also based on who we drafted look at trading Gasol, Bertans, Forbes for picks or a player, or moving up in Draft.
His uncle most likely lives overseas so no chance that he meddles in Rui's career. Hachimura's definitely a high lottery pick.

hichimura to spurs in 11
I think trading Poeltl with the Toronto pick or even the Spurs pick alltogether is an option to move up. I pretty much think they will try to move up as they need a prospect with a high ceiling who can also help right away at the SF position
