Official San Antonio Spurs 2021 NBA Draft Discussion Thread

[Dejounte]

Who broke the Pelicans / Grizzlies rumor before the trade actually happened? We need to follow that guy closely…

[Degoat]

Not that it matters, guys follow each other all the time on IG but Kai Jones follows DJ, Devin Vassell, and demar

This is a real possibility. I think Sengun might be available but that's far from a sure thing. Giddey and Franz are gone though. One team or another ahead of them is grabbing them.

The Spurs has rumors they offered White and Murray in a trade. They haven't gained traction with a trade but if it happens it will be on draft night. I don't know if the Spurs have a horse in this race other than one of the top 5 which isn't getting traded for White or Murray. But we shall see on draft night. There are always deals that happen on draft night. Maybe they are comfortable with one of a number of possibilities that will be there at 12 though, and I think this is their modus operandi.

I still maintain that (in the absence of Beal becoming available) that the best trade Golden State can get out there is offering Wiggins + 7+ (14 or Wiseman) for white and DJ.

It seems the Magic at 8 are wild cards (Sengun, Williams, Moody all speculated, but if the Warriors go Giddey at 7, would they pass on Kuminga?). The Hornets at 11 seem something of an unknown too (Jones is said to be preferred), but if Sengun is off the board, most likely we're looking at Kispert or J. Johnson.

Moses Moody! Free Fall to us. If not James Bouknight at 12.

[TheCerebral1]

It seem the Magic at 8 are wild cards. We knew all along Wagner would be gone, now it seems Giddey will be too and Sengun is probably a coin flip.

If he goes, we're probably looking at Kispert or J. Johnson (maybe Jones, but he's probably a coin flip).

Kispert is going to be a waste of a ing draft pick for someone 7-15.

They are not done. They want to move up from 10.

Intriguing. Links?I

Edit=nvm saw the posting. Was apparently being added while I was posting myself.

Givony yesterday I believe. Was the first one I saw at least. Woj didn't post until it materialized. Givony posted it was in progress yesterday.

[rjv]

Wasn't last year's chatter made up entirely on this board? I've seen some murmurs that SA is looking to move up, like with Sports Illustrated.

there were also 'rumblings' about the spurs looking to move LMA for a higher pick. it all amounted to nothing, as per usual.

Yes, but things changed on that rumor when Klay got hurt.

That feels pretty nice for Memphis. Bledsoe might help and I like Adams to play beefy down low. NOP doesn't give away a load just to get rid of those contracts. Real question is who Memphis is targeting at No. 10. Feel like it could be Wagner, but he might be gone. Who do they think will be there?

EDIT: Grizzlies are eating a lot of salary mostly for 7 slots. Huh.

It’s really not that much salary at all. Valensinous and Bledsoe aren’t that big a difference, especially with Bledsoe only being owed about 3m in his last year. And haven’t paid Adams anything’s (looks like they’ve nabbed his bird rights is all).

This is a good, smart trade for both sides.

[SpurPadre]

There was a lot last year, Zach Lowe, the ringer, Keith smith we’re all saying the spurs were up to something if I recall correct

There was alot of talk of us trading with the Dubs’ pick to draft Wiseman while we send them LMA and the 11th pick but then Klay Thompson’s injury killed those plans.

Basketballnews.com - U/D mock

- Scottie Barnes going #4 to Toronto (def. possible, especially if Siakam rumors are true)
- Bouknight to Thunder at #6
- Moody at #10 to Grizzlies
- 'The Goon' (TM pending) to Spurs at #12
- Kessler Edwards to Spurs at #41

That would be a great draft for the Spurs.

They have Toronto taking Scottie Barnes, which I think can happen. If so, it shakes things up in the next half dozen picks.

Corey Kispert has indeed worked out for Spurs according to this report...

https://sports.yahoo.com/former-gonz...212039989.html

It hadn’t been announced until he did so himself Monday, but Kispert confirmed he met and worked out for the Wizards (along with the Magic, Spurs, Warriors, Kings, Pelicans, Pacers and Hornets) in his pre-draft process.

They saw he could shoot and immediately asked him to leave.

[SAGirl]

Too many rumors about the Grizzlies are now creating a lot of noise in Twitter everyone will want to podcast about it and comment etc.

Surprisingly GSW standing pat so far.

Wizards rumblings with Beal and Westbrook. Westbrook asked if there was any interest for a trade from a playoff team. If Westbrook is gone, so is Beal. Who would have figured Westbrook is the alpha there? Although I think Beal is more attached to his team than Westbrook is obviously and he would be willing to stick if they were competent.

Something might happen on that end to watch out for.

Underrated humor.

Rumor has it he beat Bryn Forbes' long standing, open gym five made 3s consecutive shot streak.
