Official San Antonio Spurs 2021 NBA Draft Discussion Thread

[CGD]

Kings, please trade out so you don't take my boy Franz...

If they’re attaching 10 to dump Bledsoe I’d happily oblige

[tonight...you]

Sengun I think might fall and he’d be a God send for the Spurs. I think he’s probably not done growing and may have also grown since last measured. Jaren Jackson about his same age when drafted grew an inch and he’s now a legit 7 footer and I think Luka Samanic, also drafted very young grew an inch. I think he’ll be fine when he matures a bit more in a year. One wouldn’t say this of every prospect but the ones who were around 18-19 this past year do stand to grow a little more yet, specially big men.

And Sengun is naturally going to get heavier and stronger as he continues to work out and ages, becoming a more natural C.

I would love it if he gets to the Spurs.

Bouknight will go to either OKC, GSW or Magic. If Giddey falls to us maybe DJM is gone.

[alfahdlan]

I see it now.

i think they’ll take him at #5 to avoid the risk of OKC getting him

Mock:

1. Detroit - Cade
2. Rockets - Green
3. Cavaliers - Mobley
4. Raptors - Suggs
5. Magic - either Kuminga or Barnes
6. Thunder - What’s left between Kuminga and Barnes
7. Warriors - Moody
8. Magic - Sengun
9. Kings - Wagner
10. Pelicans - Kispert - they need a shooter badly
11. Hornets - Jackson - has ties with LaMelo
12. Spurs

edit: i just realized Hedo said he thinks theyll take Sengun at 8

you wake up my flickering hope there, Dejounte.

[Mr. Body]

There is no overlap between Giddey and Murray's skill sets.

[SPURt]

As the draft approaches, I’m kind of getting giddy for Giddey tee hee

[alfahdlan]

Report has it that he is available for trade.

[Dejounte]

you wake up my flickering hope there, Dejounte.

everybody but 10-15% of this board will have their hopes shattered on draft night

unless the Spurs completely trade out of the draft lmao

Why? Someone good will fall. For sure.

[exstatic]

Sengun to Orlando does make a lot of sense. They have a ton of guards who, though not that good, probably aren't worse than any guard available at 8.

And they might suppose that Isaac when healthy would be a great match for Sengun defensively. And I'm sure they have already given up on Bamba and aren't married to Carter Jr.

Sengün to Orlando makes no sense from a historical perspective. They draft athletes, not basketball players.

i meant that about people and their favorites

i.e. People who are saying Sengun or bust

you gotta give up some players to match Bledsoe’s. Would take 2 of DJM, Poetl, and White I think. If it was one I’d be on board but not two.

We can absorb him into space...that's why they'd give 10 to move him...

hes not a free agent. Unless we have a trade exception we have to match salaries in a trade no?

Because he’s currently under contract, they could pick for us, wait 30 days, and trade just the draft rights to us, with Bledsoe, for some unlikely to convey second rounder.

Some rationale is that they had Vucevic, who was a foreign center. I dunno.

[exstatic]

They picked a foreign center 5 years (2011) before the rules changes that virtually made big men irrelevant.

[Mr. Body]

That Bledsoe contract is pretty nasty.

[Mr. Body]

Yeah.

I've said it before, it's hard to gauge what this Orlando team wants right now. They cleaned house, which was good, but knowing their direction is almost impossible.

[lmbebo]

That Bledsoe contract is pretty nasty.

Its like $18 million for next season and $19 after that? But shows that the last year is only partially guaranteed (3.9M) ? I'd take that on for 10 if we aren't resigning our bigs or getting Collins

What exstatic said.... we can easily do this if we want to..

[objective]

Sengün to Orlando makes no sense from a historical perspective. They draft athletes, not basketball players.

Cole Anthony didn't really fit with the long raw athletes either. Besides, the point is with 2 top 10 picks they can take a gamble out of their comfort area.

I'm in agreement too... I don't think we are getting Collins anyway (but I'm sure the FO has a much better feel for that)... and even though Bledsoe is a net negative we could move DJ or White in a separate deal for players or picks... there are literally a ton of options..

[Mr. Body]

I have him for three more years.

[Mr. Body]

I have him for three more years.

Scratch that, I guess two more years. I don't see why NOP would dump him then.
