If he can play like the other #45 Mitc , yes
If Mitc is anything like Jrue Holiday, he would instantly become my favorite player on the Spurs.

precisely,. *draft*
you want the Spurs to just do *something* by swinging for the fence in some unspecified and unserious way.
and I'm the absurd one? pot meet kettle

That would be an amazing THREE breaks for us. Picking Ziaire #8 would be peak Orlando.
If Orlando walks away from the draft with Kuminga and Ziaire, Jonathan Isaac should ask for a trade immediately. No point in wasting prime years going nowhere.
Yea Kispert is a better athlete than his body type would lead one to believe and also, he’s not one dimensional. He’s an incredible shooter but can make plays with the ball and get to the rim if he’s played close. I think he’s probably better than McDermott who is a great cutter and shooter, scorer but I don’t see enough as a guy who can ballhandle a little for you. Though if he’s added in FA I’d be thrilled, so all in all, I’d be fine.
Kispery may end up being a favorite bc the team is so starved for a true no conscience, ballsy shooter. Pop had too much love for Forbes, so maybe getting him a shooter who is not 6’2” and who is an athlete will change the offense a lot as I’d expect he would fall in love with such a shooter… He might call him the second coming of Larry Legend (considering Bryn Forbes was Steph Curry Part Deux), and he wanted Dejounte to be a better Chris Paul with shooting guard size and forward like rebounds! Lol
Damn I am already selling mysel on Kispert!
Wow the rumors with Wagner are real bc the intel is that Sacramento may take Murphy 3 if Wagner is gone… they really want a tall shooter. And aren’t the only one. Murphy may go higher overall than initially projected too.
Now you're spinning like those idiot Trump supporters you so rightly and eloquently criticize.
I don't want them to just do something (I've detailed countless scenarios I'd either be fine with or could at least understand), I said if nothing else I'll take that over the usual relative inactivity. Anything to see a pulse.
They keep going the way they are, they're going to continue to have the lowest odds possible of building a sustainably good team with the assets and flexibility to pivot and improve beyond that.

Memphis and New Orlean trade
Jonas Valanciunas and 2021 Nos. 17 and 51 picks
for
Steven Adams, Eric Bledsoe, 2021 picks Nos. 10 and 40 and a protected 2022 first-round (lakers)
Ah i don't like it as giddey is my favourite with sengun in that range.
That'll change a few mock drafts..
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.
Memphis is apparently targeting Giddey at 10
Jonas gets passed around so much. I thought he was a good big every time I watched him.
it probably is Wagner for the Grizzlies.
According to Givony, many in the league believe the Grizzlies are targeting Giddey.
I don't like it for the Grizzlies. As much as they need secondary play making, they need shooting and none of these players provide it.
Good move by the Pelicans to get a slightly better player/fit at C and free up the cap space to either retain Ball or upgrade at PG.
ESPN (Givony/Woj) believes Memphis is targeting Josh Giddey. Sucks a little for Giddey, as that's not a great city to live in.
As far as the Spurs go, I think the impact is that we expected NOP to draft a shooter and now that spot is taken by Giddey. We'll never know if the Spurs liked him. As far as Sengun, no impact as this slot wasn't going to him. As for shooters, there was a chance NOP took Kispert or Moody there, if available.
It's going to be a real bummer if Wagner, Sengun, and Giddey are all off of the board when the Spurs pick. Looking increasingly likely that will happen.
I think the Pels did fantastic here. They dumped their worst mistakes/salaries, will still pick up a decent shooter at 17, and get a productive center who can stretch the floor for Zion. They can resign Ball or swing for Lowry, who I don't think goes there anyway. But honestly this makes them better. Still confused about Memphis.
I kind of thought it already was going to happen. Giddey I saw as rising, Wagner was already tabbed to go by 10. The question is Sengun and I honestly don't know.
Valanciunas can't really stretch the floor, but he's not the non shooter Adams is either.
Good point about 17. It's easier to pick someone like Murphy III or whoever in that range.
I guess the Grizzlies really like Giddey or whoever and maybe think the Lakers pick ends up closer to 20 than 30.
I'd be stunned if Wagner is still on the board at 10
If after the top four plus barnes, bouknight and kuminga, the others selections are wagner , sengun and giddey in the top 10 that will be pretty bad for us. But we still have The choice between Moody and Jones wich is a good consolation.
I was coming in to post exactly this!!!
Memphis wheeling and dealing. I think they wanted Wagner but since he’s kept rising, the target to me is likely Moody. (Based on their GM gambling high 2 seasons ago trading for Winslow who didn’t pan out).
They also get a Lakers first rounder for 2022. Unless Le Brons leg falls off, that pick should convey.
Moody does seem like a better fit there than Giddey....also maybe they think they can bring in a few more fans to games since Moody is a razorback..
