He could easily go 2 so that won't work, tbh.
Trade back and still get him

That’s fine. Oh no you miss out on him and get LaMelo or Toppin instead and another 1st.
Spurs weren’t rebuilding. It’s a different time. The best front offices don’t leave any meat on the bone. Spurs cant afford to either. Pick a direction and be decisive.
Also I meant move up in future drafts. Like get a 1st for LMA now since he’s not on team anyways after one year, then with your own lottery pick + pick from LMA you can get the guy(s) you want next draft
This is definitely who I want us to get.
Trading Aldridge to move up.... well, it depends on how far you're moving up...are we taking salary back? There are alot of variables. If we are moving up 3 or 4 spots then I'd say no...if it gets you into the top 5 and you don't take back longterm salary then do it.
I imagine he’ll be warriors bound if they don’t trade the pick.
I know players evolve over time but Sam Mitc say he is more athletic than David Robinson...is that true? I know it was the 90s but the Admiral was one of the best size/speed/muscle athletes i ever seen maybe only Lebron and maybe prime shawn Kemp is in that convo...and bron is not a true big.
I'm probably the only one, and that's cool, but I'm still holding out hope that we somehow end up with this kid on draft day.
Bump. I think if you hear about SA being aggressive and/or focusing on bigs this is the target FWIW
I'm all for it. I would also be happy with Jalen Smith.
A short article on James Wiseman and Anthony Edwards' workouts with the Warriors.

He might be the one guy with the potential to change the downward trajectory the team is on right now.
Posted by Sam Amico, largely believed to be unreliable around the league. I'd trust the ATL insider more than I would this guy, and that's saying a lot...
Having said that, I'm still holding out hope the Spurs end up with Wiseman on draft night. We need a true franchise player and Wiseman would compliment our young core extremely well.
If Wiseman is a can't miss prospect then it's hard for me to imagine the Warriors would give up a player that has the potential to be a superstar player.
Correct. Sam Amick is the reliable one.
Right. The Warriors aren't some third rate organization. They found Klay, Draymond, and Curry. They aren't passing up on Wiseman if he's as good as advertised. If they do pass up on him, then it says more about Wiseman than it does about the Warriors.
Their timeframe is NOW. Wiseman might be special, but it likely won’t be for 3 years. That’s too late for them. It’s also not a pure basketball decision. They’re in real tax trouble, and need to off load salary, and Wiggins is the one, but no one will do that for cheap.
That makes 2 of us!!
I see no lies in this post.
Pull the f'n trigger Pop!
Rookies or sop res can contribute to championships. See Tyler Herro. If he's as good as advertised, they won't pass up on him. No one is going to pass up on Timmy D or David Robinson if theyre available. If a generational player is there, you make ways to accommodate that. Not the other way around.
If they end up drafting Avdija over Wiseman, what does that say to you? They wouldn't trade Wiggins in that scenario.
They may already have a plan in place to trade him or they could not find anyone with a deal they liked. They also did get a first and a second for taking on his contract. They also did it to help get them under the lux tax for last year. they got rid of Russel but some did not like his contract. Young yes but not worth the max contract that he got.
Tyler Hero didn’t help win a Championship. Tim was plugged into a team that had already been to the WCFs, and there will never be another HOF player ready to dominate from year 1. There isn’t a sure fire generational player, but if the Spurs do this, they feel that there is a possible one.
