@EricSal_7 Spurs were lucky in the lottery getting Wemby and Harper. The Spurs were smart in not listening to guys like Quinn on how to build their team.
@DevonBirdsong You would think that if the addition of Harper was so detrimental to the competitive balance of the league that the they should change the draft lottery, Quinn would have Harper as his ROY. Nope, he’s voting for Kon.
@EricSal_7 You need to include the Demar and Jakob trades as well. We may not have won the Derrick trade on paper but the overall strategy has worked spectacularly.
@ZachWolchuk@gbagnation@1053thefan #1 - solid value in every round .
#2 - excellent value in rounds 1 and 2 but a massive reach in round 3
#3 - horrible picks in the first 2 rounds but salvaged the draft in rounds 3 and 4.
@Lore_spurs@EricSal_7 I’m not against trades. But you often hear people using OKC as support for us trading for a superstar player. In reality you should probably be looking at the Clippers side of the trade as a cautionary tale about trading away promising young players.
@EricSal_7@Lore_spurs Also, OKC didn’t trade for a superstar. They traded their superstar in exchange for a young prospect that later became a superstar.
@EricSal_7 Don’t get too attached to that 14th pick. They could trade it for a 36 year old All Star near the end of his career. They could also trade it for a 7th grader who’s going to grow up to be their first round pick in 2032.
