I still feel confident Spurs will not be selecting Duren, and that if they did decide to draft a C at 9, it would be Mark Williams.
I’d be game for that tbh Duren and Butler have big upside and I think Jwill could contribute immediately in a DWhite/Lonnie role

Darkhorse for the 9th pick I think is Malaki Branham, he seems to have a lot of spurs qualities.
just at the top of my head, the 3 most spursy guys in that range are Dyson Daniels, Malaki Branham, and Mark Williams tbh
I could definitely live with that draft.
Just curious don’t think it’s been mentioned any, saw Kevin O’Connors new article from the ringer and it’s pure speculation but he mentions the spurs as a potential trade partner with the kings for the #4 pick. What would y’all trade for #4? Keldon + 9, that would be a hard pill to swallow but DJ and Ivey together could be scary. Idk super unlikely But interesting to think about even if It’s not Ivey and one of the top 3 bigs fall.
Mark Williams at 9 would definitely be a reach.
I'd draft Alondes just for his passing.
Those are Manu-esque passing

Thinking about a frontcourt that could be anchored by the defense of Poeltl and Sochan. Damn. That has the potential to be one of the best defensive frontcourts in the NBA.
I honestly can't see how Keldon + #9 could get you #4. Kings would kindly decline. Not even sure they'd bite for Murray and 9.
I wouldn't trade Murray straight up for the #4 pick.
I enjoy reading his stuff. Not sure what the path to 4 is though. Keldon?
The bigger threat to get 4 is OKC. They can just overwhelm SAC with future pick offers that would be too good to pass up.

I don’t know. Kings would be happy to move back bc Ivy is the no idea brainer choice at 4 and they feel (erroneously) they’re set there.
ivey is a level higher then the rest of the scoring wings but there are enough day 1 wings who will be there at 9 where it shouldnt be necessary to trade up and lose talent.
Same, really enjoy their podcasts too! Idk it’s pretty unlikely but trading 4 to 9 is only 5 spots, they get a rising star in Keldon that could help them win immediately. They could potentially draft a Daniels, Duren, Mathurin, or even Sochan at 9 that might be better for them in the long run. Buttttt, they probably can find better deals too then what the spurs would offer.
I'd do it if Banchero slips to 4.
If anyone is questioning why Sacramento would do it:
1. They're perpetually stupid
2. The GM Monte McNair only has one year left on his contract if I remember right. The pressure is on to make the playoffs and break the streak. Keldon Johnson scored 21 a game after the all star break (17 on the season) and it's should be doable to sell someone on Keldon being the best #3 scorer and shooter next to Sabonis and Fox. Barnes at the 4, draft #9 to take Johnny Davis or Mathurin or Griffin or Daniels for the backcourt, keep Mitc as the third guard ...
I think with the push to make the playoffs and the probable poor fit of Banchero with Sabonis, I could see it.
Alondes Williams had 40% of his shot attempts close to basket and made a whopping 60% of them. Those are big men type numbers but for a guard? Insane.
Honestly, I think I would if it's Banchero who's there. His upside at his position is harder to find than a competent Dejounte replacement. I'd try other scenarios first (like moving up from 9 + KJ), but if that's the only way, I think I'd still do it. Not that I think Banchero would fall to no. 4, or the Kings or the FO would do that.
I think people are going to be pretty disappointed in Banchero.
I'd definitely trade KJ + #9 for #4
I'd also be willing to trade DJ straight up for #4 if Ivey goes in the first 3 picks.
Dalen Terry + Jeremy Sochan would be a crazy long double boost to our defense. But I think Terry goes before #20.
