Larry Brown begged and pleaded with management to trade for Sidney Green. After Green had been here a week, Brown went to management and said he didn't like Green and to get rid of him.
Those guys didn't have talent. Those were just bad draft picks.

he could have been right both times tbh
Can’t wait for the servers to crash once Max Christie is picked at #9
In all seriousness though, I can’t remember the last time the Spurs picked a prospect with more than one or two pages in SpursTalk at the time he was drafted.
You're right, 'cause the servers kept crashing.Can’t wait for the servers to crash once Max Christie is picked at #9

I'm just going to avoid this site till the next day.
I don't remember how much Brown factored into Butler, but I remember more that it was John Hollinger who the Spurs were paying as a consultant who recommended him based on his stats.
And he was just a fa not a spurs pick.
If they don't pan out because of character related flaws they are just bad draft picks got it.
Christie as a shooter who can't shoot is giving me Luka flashbacks
Why do you think Mathurin or Griffin are not Spurs guys? Both seem like it to me. I want the former, not the latter.

That, plus why are we looking for diamonds in the rough at pick 9? Or at least, let’s hope they aren’t dumpster diving for bargains at #9.
We need an actual hooper who shows some leadership potential and moxie, almost regardless of position. Who is the closest to being that in our range?
That would probably be Johnny Davis as he plays to win and he plays hard on offense and defense. Another guy would be Sochan has he is like the QB of defense always talking with his team mates and telling them where to be and just plays hard
They’re on the bumble to be fair, Mathurin oozes with confidence and made a comment about being the best player in the league in a couple of years which I love but that ain’t Spursy. AJ griffin is a Jesus freak
Vassell was well discussed.Can’t wait for the servers to crash once Max Christie is picked at #9

I have decided that if there is no one to draft who we realistically think we can look to in a year and a half and say, "go get me a bucket," I am more than content to wait on Jalen Duren to grow up.
There is a likelihood of him being better than what Jak is sooner rather than later at the least, and he is still only like 12 years old with a big body set to get monstrous. He shows potential as a passer, shooter near the basket, and intimidator.
Call Timmy's bumming-it-up ass up to teach Duren some post offense, and call it a day.

Makes me like them both more...we could use more confidence and conviction..
It might be worth it as a diamond in the rough if he showed potential at doing anything else.
I haven't seen anything in videos that showed off anything except shooting and missing and some decent defense.
His tools are average.
He doesn't attack the rim or get to the line or play above the rim.
He doesn't playmake or operate in the pick and roll in the limited amount of stuff I watched.
He's not a defensive monster who wreaks havoc and generates events like blocks or steals at a noteworthy rate.
At least Primo hit shots at a high rate
Obviously I’m all in on Eason. So what’s more useful: teaching Eason patience and allow him to learn team basketball to go along with his NBA ready body and dominant physical skills, or draft a younger guy (in this weird world, that means 18 months younger) and hope for him to fill out his frame and become aggressive?
The last thing this organization needs is to be listening to somebody OLDER than Pop, jesus
Sounds like a plan to me.
IMO that's the biggest risk: trying to outsmart ourselves. The swing for the fences type picks flopped (Samanic) or are yet to show anything of note (Primo), while those who did work out were actually the ones involving players who consensus had going higher (DM, KJ), and happened to fall into our lap. In fact, we PASSED on Keldon Johnson once, and unexpectedly lucked into finding him again at 29 with the second pick.
Every time we passed on a player that consensus would have us take (Haliburton in 2020, Sengun in 2021), our choices actually fared worse, and in all cases where our picks outperformed their rank, we were relegated to a passive role and no choice but to let the board do the filtering for us. So yes, I am concerned that we fall into that temptation again, believing we can sweep through the mud to find that hidden gem no one else sees, likely because it's not there, and miss the value in front of our noses.
After watching that 2 hour long film session I thought that Eason was too wild, too unskilled, and too selfish or dim or raw.
But after thinking about it, no one is better at swagger jacking than Pop. He can turn confident brash young men into timid wallflowers better than anyone. Maybe that's just what Eason needs.
If not Johnny Davis or Mathurin at 9, it makes a ton of sense to go Duren or Mark Williams
