Its nice that they're not even pretending the Spurs could pick someone else

 

Wemby in the west thank god

 

no lol

 

Ima just say Scoot will end up better, not because I have any evidence but because it feels like it’s a possibility and if I’m right i get to quote myself in years

 

Wemby + $40 million plus of cap space? Wow. (Not that this is a particularly good free agent class.)

 

Fucking BULL shit

 

Spurs should be taking on any reclamation progress they can and try to find some cheap contributors, no reason to spend early until their guy has some time to progress.

 

I'm interested to see what happens with Scoot now. I think Brandon Miller makes more sense for Charlotte, but maybe Portland finally deals Lillard?

I'm just relieved Orlando didn't drop, and got Chicago's pick. Now time to get some shooters!

 

Its wild that this WCF matchup is the #1 pick 20 years ago that lived up to all the hype and continues to play at a high level vs a guy drafted during a taco bell ad.

 

Spurs back

Pop wins

What a fucking legend

 

I would’ve felt better even at 3, like shit we could get Miller at least and actually have a good forward

Instead we’ll end up with Whitmore or some shit

 

That was heartbreaking. So close.

Should still get a great player at #2 though.

 

Does Portland even keep that pick lol

 

Miller is probably a better fit for Hornets than Scoot tbh but we suck so bad I’m also fine with just taking whoever is just straight up better.

 

I would try to trade from 4 to 2

 

Hornets only have $33 million on the books in '24-25?

 

Spurs ruined kawhi, it’s okay.

 

No way, unless Dame is gone

 

I know we suck. Houston and Charlotte aren’t much better

but have you seen that spurs roster

 

still got a chip tho

 

we’ll take Sengun and Jalen

 

honestly? probably the move

 

Now which “star” does Portland try and target with that pick. This will be fun

 

Smoking crack.

 

Hopefully Cade comes back healthy and lights it up and Ivey/Duren take big steps forward
