A lot of these contracts are very movable and desirable trade assets in themselves. Not to mention all of our draft capital. The Spurs are in very good shape to improve the roster through multiple avenues. I could only imagine what Pat Riley could do in this position. Whether or not you trust the Spurs FO to make the right moves is understandably fair game.
Yeah, I don't think anything is unmovable. Collins probably has our worst contract and it isn't that bad an is just two years after this season. We are in a very good position.

It was definitely a weak draft. But every knowledgeable spurs fan and analyst had Sengun going to the Spurs due to his potential fit with the team. It's one of those rare times when everyone could see it and they ended up being right.

Alpy was the Primo draft but he would have been a killer compliment to Victor. That's the one that I think hurts the most. The Rockets managed to be a bottom 3 team in his first two years. Made a giant leap this year. Oh well.
That was a pretty awful draft, though. After Primo, there was Sengun, Trey Murphy, Cam Thomas and Herbert Jones. Jalen Johnson (ATL) looks great this year after being pretty awful his first two seasons. Primo showed a lot of promise and was the youngest guy in the draft. He's just a year older than Victor. Primo in GLeague this year for the clippers is putting up 20p4a4r on 50/39/77 shooting.
I thought Primo was turning out to be a major steal. He also has long arms and played an aggressive style of defense that was rare for someone as young as him. The day he was cut I jumped on a facebook live fan show and people were crying like crazy.

Yeah and pretty sure some of us wanted Halliburton over Devin as well, despite White and DJ.

Didn't primo show his long "arm" to the team therapist?

We were trying to trade #11 and LMA for #2 to pick up James Wiseman.

Thanks, Golden State!

Here's our thoughts during the 2020 draft. I thought that Deni was going to b what Josh Giddy turned out to be.

Wow. Nice find. My reaction:

'I really like this pick. I think Vassell has a lot of offensive upside. God knows we need his defense.'

I wasn't wrong. Defense did not pan out though.

I'll take credit for predicting Wiseman would not work out for GSW.

I predicted we were drafting Bey. Oof.

Well, no matter what has happened prior to Victor, the next year or two will really determine how good the front office is. They have every opportunity to build a championship team. Hope they get it right.

This is so cringy. Lol

'Kai Jones could have a big ceiling.'
'I'd rather have John Collins than Lauri.'

Thank god I'm not a GM. But we all wanted Sengun.

I feel like we got more right than wrong in both drafts, though

I'm still bitter about not picking Sengun. And he's turning into every bit of the player I thought he was capable of being.

The more I read/watch film on Alperen Sengun, the more he grows one me. I think he's probably my favorite prospect that we have a reasonable shot at having at 12. He has such an incredible feel for the game at a young age, that I think he's one of the surest things to be a solid NBA player with the potential to be all star caliber or better.

So we ain't getting 2 top 10 picks now?
Enzo The Baker

There's a lot that can happen in the second half. Toronto has the 6th worst record, which is just over 50% odds of the spurs getting the pick. Memphis shouldn't sustain what they are doing. And Brooklyn, Chicago and Atlanta aren't trending well. Jak coming back soon too.

Gonne be close and ultimately come down to the lottery. If it's 7 or higher it conveys if it is 6 or less it stays with Toronto.

Interesting. This year it seems like nobody can agree on who will go number 1 or even top 5. Will be fun to follow.

With next year's draft being considered significantly better, it might be advantageous for us to get it as a 2025 pick rather than a 2024 pick

Agreed. But that would make 3 guaranteed contracts (maybe 4 with Charlotte's pick. HA!) next year.

All of which could be potentially moved, especially in a stronger draft.

2025 Best possible scenario for 2025 draft:

Overall pick:
1st: Atlanta (I want them to win the lottery in 25-27 because **** em)
2nd: San Antonio
7th: Toronto
11th: Chicago
15th Charlotte
