“At a point in time we’ll talk about it” lol maybe reading to much into body language but seems like the future picks for the 8th is for an upcoming trade they are looking towards
Yeah that's definitely the case. But what team is going to offload a "good" player for all these draftpicks in 2028 2029 2030 2031? Everyone here assumes he's got this masterplan but what if teams don't want that shit?
@@Nate102793i think they hsve a target. Its possibly a team whos decidihg now to tear it down and rebuild. Atl comes to mind.....which is why he didnt commit to castle at point
Trading #8 in a weak draft, to a team that essentially gave up two unprotected firsts in ‘30 and ‘31, who have a good chance of being out of their title window by that time, sounds good to me. Having potential lottery picks in the heart of Victor’s prime will be great for the team. And if we want we can trade them. I’m happy with Castle too
@@drewescobar3847yeah Atlanta’s unprotected pick, our own pick, and possibly Chicago’s if it falls out of the top ten. That’s the draft you want to have picks in .
Dejounte Murray trade was hilarious 3 unprotected first round picks and now he basically got two unprotected first round picks for Jalob Poelt. We have now almost unprotected first round picks from other teams from 2025 to 2031.
BUM GM! He picked Primo.. who was not even projected a lottery pick and Wieskamp. Traded Derrick White for a bag of chips. I'm sorry but sorry ass trade, Langford out the league! DJM trade was okay. They gave Zach Collins a BAG! C'mon cuh. A bunch of trades to acquire a crap load of 2nd round picks! They are NOT valuable, stock piling that stuff. And now this bum trade. It's terrible. He horrible!
@@quarterbackin3262 the ONLY move that sticks out the past 5 years is drafting wemby.. my dog would've drafted wemby! lmao bunch of protected 1st round picks aint gonna cut it either... only valuable is ATL picks
Maybe a weak class and haven't hammered the details out with a team or that team preferred picks a few years from now which means its possible a team who's on rebuild mode.
@@RaiderJeremy No we don't you know Charlotte pick won't happen and Chicago pick is top 10 protected so we only got two for sure first next year ours and Hawks..
I think they will package those two future picks + a player(keldon) to possibly trade for a more experienced player(trae) .. Remember spurs play chess not checkers.
We got something planned, 1 he can’t talk about the rationale behind doing it yet which means they gonna do something soon and 2 he saids “if day 2 goes well”
For real. Reading these comments some Spurs fans are freaking out already like it's time to trade every pick now for some mid player. Like Wemby isn't going to keep getting better for the next 5 years or more and like free agency isn't coming up asap.
So excited for these next few seasons, Castle is a great pick and betting on the future with these future picks where trades are becoming more and more expensive is a great plan looking forward building this team to be a contender, you need a big payload these days to get a great player.
Another year of "we'll see" Brian. His track record isn't giving me alot of confidence. Until proven otherwise, giving up an 8th overall for no immediate return is completely idiotic when youre already a lottery team.(inb4 "it was a weak draft" excuse) okay I know what everyone's ASSUMING is the spurs are using these picks to trade for a good player, a star. But who the hell currently is looking to offload said player(s) for picks half a decade down the road?! I think to walk away with only 1 player when you had two picks in the top 10, and having clear needs in the current roster is a jackass move. Let's show that the spurs are interested in improving NOW we have a generational talent give him a reason to see the team is IMPROVING.
Castle will acclimate to the system easily, and will pair well with Wemby. Im excited how these two youngbloods will gel and grow together into the Spurs way.
Hope they got a trade upcoming if they gave away that 8th pick. Spurs could have gotten a Knecht or Edey, if they do not want Dillingham, pieces that could improve their bench.
@@bigdsmooth6 this couch gms surely knows what are they talking about. i would love to pick buzelis/knecht/ williams but ididnt see the workouts and the evaluation of this players, the fit for the culture and our players so i have no right to judge if they fumbled this pick. Maybe the front office value the future assets more for future trades
@@bigdsmooth6you obviously must not know the current state of NBA contracts… look at the kings and Malik monk… heat and Duncan Robinson, I can go on. These are bench pieces making 20mil per year. If I can draft 2-3 of those guys for 14-21 mil on my books for a solid piece for 4-5 years I’m gonna do it.
@@toppdogg2815 That’s actually probably a fair assessment, none of can 1000% know for sure, but i would presume that if Pop or RC (especially Pop) really wanted a certain guy at 8, they would’ve taken him. Also, teams use a multi dynamic with several individuals perspectives approach to make their board. However, I am inclined to agree with you that Brian Wright might get to make a decision against the consensus wisdom if he wanted to. We really have no idea. It’s all speculation based on how we perceive the spurs culture to be.
If Saläun doesn't get drafted at #6, I think we'd have picked it instead of trading. I hope we get a little aggressive on the trade market and get a wing, though... I feel like we're gonna have to wait one more year to get a decent PF 😭
ikr mad annoying how slow spurs front office is … plus the fact that they never rlly make big trades has me feeling like they plan on waiting 2 more years into wembys career b4 finally contending ☠️
Honest question, to all the fans defending trading away the #8 pick. Where does this trust for Brian Wrong come from? Is it the Primo pick? Is it passing up on Alperen Sengun in 2021, or Tyrese Haliburton & Tyrese Maxey in 2020? Is it his experience working with the Orlando Magic or the Detroit Pistons when both were consistent lottery teams?
Nah I think it's drafting the worst D in the league, *Malaki Branham* (#20) over the 2nd best Shot blocker in the league (behind Wemby) *Walker Kessler* (#22). 😑
I understand trading the #8 pick was a money saving move not a basketball move but I still think we should have gotten more than a swap and pick 7 years from now.
We can waive champagnie, decline branham, not resign Graham next next summer. That's $19M. Spurs are busy giving the #8 pick away but want too much for keldon, collins and wesley, who are on fully GUARANTEED deals..... money is not an issue for the Spurs. The issue is that we have too many 6'5"ish utility players without a definitive skill. Passing on Buzelis or even Knecht was stupid.
It's always interesting to see these moments with Brian Wright. He is such a private businessperson, it's hard to know what his motivations are. I'm sure that plays in his favor, but it makes it hard for fans to endear themselves to him and support his decisions. I think for now we're open to see where this takes us, but I personally doubt we'll see anything come out of it for another 3-4 years.
Josue you can’t see, by the dawn’s early light or a crystal ball. You know now what the future pick and swap will net us in seven years, so hard to say that Wright is wrong, in all fairness. Feel free to root for another team.
@@sarahmccoy1941 I’m a Spurs fan not a Brian Wrong fan. You can root for a team and not like the Owner, GM, or a specific player. It’s called having an independent thought and not being a bootlicker.
@@tony21084 Where does this trust for Brian Wrong come from? Was it the Primo pick? Was it passing up on Alperen Sengun in 2021, or Tyrese Haliburton & Tyrese Maxey in 2020? Was it his experience working with the Orlando Magic or the Detroit Pistons when both were consistent lottery teams?
@@Josue-411 Dejounte Murray trade was hilarious 3 unprotected first round picks and now he basically got two unprotected first round picks for Jalob Poelt. We have now almost unprotected first round picks from other teams from 2025 to 2031.
So in a draft that was supposed to to be trash Wright is a bad GM because he traded him for a chance to draft in a better draft class? Besides if you look at all the videos of the FO during draft nights RC is back there as well. You think if Wright was a trash GM RC and Pop would just let it fly? Apparently you guys don’t know is the history of Pop. 😂
@@mordakie3805 What do you mean he doesnt move the needle are you not seeing his defensive impacts. This team sucked at defense and we just got the best defensive player in the draft. He was an all american in High school went to Uconn to win and took a smaller role than expected. Didnt complain, just showed up and outworked everyone. Hes most definitely the best prospect in this class imo and in the opinions of others. Castle took this team one step closer to becoming a defensive juggernaut!
@@olivergossling3511 bruh we sucked at defense because we missed a lot lol teams were literally always in transition against us .. in the half court we were average… why do you think we had wemby yet the defense was still ass.. because we couldn’t defend in transition.. transition is caused by our horrible offense
@@mordakie3805 while that is true. You can’t tell me that tre jones, keldon, champagnie, collins, branham didn’t struggle. I love all these guys but they killed us defensively. I do agree our transition is bad but everyone on the team is gonna grow offensively this offseason so we won’t be as inefficient this year. We also have a lot of money and draft capital maybe we go get some offensive minded or all around players to help out the team. Castle will be great addition, don’t hate the player he hasn’t even played yet.
@@olivergossling3511 *Tre jones* is a great disruptor, in fact outside of Blake, Julian and Wemby he have the best D Rating on the team... D is not just about rim D and blocks... *Julian* was just the 3th best D in the team. (still, only average on every D metrics) his issue was never his D You know who is a little below average on D by every metrics? *Sochan* (5th best D in the roster). Very switchable but just below average on D. but yeah you mentioned the simply worst D in the NBA by every metrics: *Malaki Branham* (Trae Young is above him on D) And *KJ* is in the Top20 in that same worst D list, *Cedi* was in the top40...
I hope they know what they're ding, but that crap last night was wired. For a #8 pick of the 1st round of the 2024 draft, we got a 1st round pick in 2030? What the hell? We couldn't get Mike Conley or even Nas Reid? I'm 54 and I don't remember seeing any team trade a #8 pick for a pick 6 YEARS IN THE FUTURE.
So six years from now, you can definitely know where Minnesota will pick in the draft? Interesting. I am not sure what is for supper, but you know who will be available for the Spurs with the pick and swap they get in six years. Wow! You need to go to Vegas and get rich. Just for the record, which of the wonderful choices at #8 would you have made to impact the Spurs in 2024-25? This is a weak draft. Once you to beyond Terjane Salaun, there was just not a lot of superior talent in it. Look at what is coming up tonight. Lots and lots of project players.
@@sarahmccoy1941 Buddy if the wolves wanted Rob, we should've gotten somebody or something in return that can help us now or next year. Not in 6 years. Hell a 2044 1st round pick would've been cool with you,, huh? But maybe you're right. I just hope we improve the team during free agency.
He’s made it clear they’d prefer to be flexible - they want picks and cap space. They didn’t love anyone in this draft, they probably wanted Rissacher but weren’t prepared to overpay for him, and they probably liked Salaun but he went early at 6. They still don’t want to rush the Wemby build unnecessarily. Next year’s draft will be much stronger and they have like 4 first round picks, if they underperform they will use them, if they over perform they may package some for a Garland level PG. This is the correct strategy.
I don’t see any reason not to take Cody Williams, Buzelis or Topic with the 8th pick. A peak and swap in 5 years is good if you already have a team filled with talent; current SAS simply lacks both quality and perspective.
This cocky dude really acting like it was a hard decision to choose castle? Who was projected at 6 or 7.. when you have the best coach and player in the world you don’t wait till 2031.
We aren’t waiting till 2031, we have plenty of picks in the meantime and having potential lottery picks in the heart of victors prime is going to be great for us.
I'm so thankful for goofy armchair gms that know how stocking draft picks work. Your reacting off of emotion rather than using your brain. Picks =superstars. More of those the better. A #8 pick in a weak ass draft isn't going to move the needle at all in any direction.
When I saw we picked two guard I was tripping cause it would’ve made 6 pgs but trading one away to possibly land a big free agent this summer will be great I just hope they can come in and make it into the play in years come and go so the building starts now Go spurs gooo🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉
Before the press conference he told the media that no one can ask questions about the Dillingham trade. I don't like the lack of transparency. They obviously heard all the backlash from the fans.
Everybody a great GM through social media that’s for sure. Everybody with an opinion has ran an organization that won five championships before typing thier opinion.
I still cant comprehend trading # 8 pick for 2030-31????? I WOULD STILL UNDERSTAND IF ITS 25-26 /27-28 meaning thats a win now mentality , but 30-31 ??? Wemby might not even im san antonio because of lack of help. Better up the ante tre jones/blake westly /castle
Brian Wright and Brian Wrong appeared. I love the Castle pick but giving away a lottery pick for picks 6 & 7 years away is dumb. If Edwards is still there both wolves picks are gonna be late 20's. Whack!
@@Crowncity To waste a lottery pick and trade it to a team that played in the conference finals. I hope they have a trade in mind to dump these picks for a good player.
Edwards will be gone out of wolves by then if they can't even have a finals appearance in 6 yrs. It might be the investment needed to get Edwards to san Antonio
I believe this pick 8 draft was a huge mistake. Spurs needs a good point guard and dillinghan is one of the best in this draft. BUT, IF SPURS TRADE THE 2 PICKS FROM MINESSOTA AND TAKE GARLAND OR DEJOUNTE MURRAY, It will be genius
DILLINGHAM WAS ONE OF THE WORST DEFENDERS IN COLLEGIATE BASKETBALL LAST SEASON. He may well have been the worst. According to analytics, he ranked in the 0 percentile for defense. The Spurs got something and relinquished nothing.
Those people scoffing at fans complaining. This is what being a a fan is about. Of course Brian wright can prove us all wrong and we want to see the team succeed. But his track record right now hasn’t done much and he’s still unproven. The spurs can’t afford to make mistakes or else Wemby will play somewhere else. Even Duncan had Robinson, Manu and Tony had Tim, Leonard had the big 3. We can’t just expect Wemby will be patient with mediocrity. Let’s hope the team can take a leap this year, but they still have so much work to do.
This is nonsense babble, Brian Wright has amassed a TON of picks, CAP SPACE, AND made the controversial Dejounte trade that made Wemby possible in the first place. He got firsts for Jakob Poeltl and Josh Richardson and THAD YOUNG 😂 It’s good he ignores the nonsense BABBLE from fans like you that don’t pay attention
I agree, anyone telling you this guy is a genius for getting draft picks is an idiot cause they must not know his draft track record. I hope he can wheel and deal to get whoever this "secret big trade" is going to land cause this franchise is already on its longest drought with no playoffs, seen it's worst losing streak ever all while having a generational talent and rookie of the year. No more sitting around to end up in the lottery again next year this team needs to show it can make improvements NOW
@TravReviewsAThing these clowns just want to keep echoing that narrative to themselves as a hopeful speak it into existence scenario. Praying that their negativity and rush to win will get into Wembys field of vision and make him consider leaving SA. To join the team they're fans of. It's just part of the game these days. Guys think they can sway players with ludicrously absurd comments about unhappiness. They're just projecting their undying hatred and unhappy mindset in relation to the team they root for. #GoSpursGo
Guys I was mad too but then remembered we got the best defender in the draft who can be the next jimmy butler or better with his high IQ. I’m excited to see Castle holding the best guards & getting wemby the ball! We get a few shooters & a big off the bench it will be fun to watch this season. It takes time to build dynasties guys. Let them cook. They’re barely shopping at the grocery store for ingredients right now. This will be the best meal you’ve had in a long time.
You thought of Jimmy Butler. I can see that. I also think of Marcus Smart as a comparison for Castle. Maybe I'm wrong, but he seems to have that competitive edge, heart-and-soul, and leadership potential. Excited to see how he develops.
@@mvttttt There is NO one that they could have chose at #8 who would have truly helped the Spurs for the future. Perhaps some back-up players, but that is about it.
@@sarahmccoy1941 I don’t even like Zach edey, but I think him or any decent Center would have made a huge difference protecting the rim with Wemby. Draft picks 7 years from now don’t help at all.
Damn how the hell this guy got the GM job?? Dude wasted a lottery in Primo, 2 first round in Westly and Maliki. Sochan pick is still in the air, and traded the #8 pick for a highschooler. Edward’s would still be in his prime for the timberwolves so they probably be in the mid 20s 🤦🏻♂️
@@ImNotaLegend3 they reach for Primo, no one had Primo in the top 10. Sochan can’t shoot for sht and has an IQ of a squirrel. Keep being sucker and a fan boy who’s team do no wrong!
This guy over here scouting manu's sons for 2030 🙄and people saying they saved money like did yall not see all the dump trades and dumb contracts we picked up trades last year and they throw money out the window payne is one that comes to mind the most that was at least 7 million then Bassey 🤦♂️🤷♂️those picks ain't gonna happen just like the charlotte one and Chicago one next year 🙄🚮
Castle is the rare high floor, high ceiling player. He showed so many things at UConn and at the same time, being the 5th option has way more to offer. No one is scoring against SA.
Wemby wants to win now, he ain’t gonna wait till 2030!! If they don’t make a veteran trade for all these picks! We’re tanking still and not helping Wemby build!
Such a weak move... Giving up a very valuable #8 with still plenty guys available ready to impact W, for most probably future late 1st round pick and a protected pick swap... Guys who think Twolves will be be bad in 2030/31 are just dellusionnal, the core of that team is still very young, and they will just be at their prime in 2030...
@@marioalejanadrovasquezvm Twolves are #1 in D with *AND* without Gobert. They don't need him. IMO You also don't need KAT when you have Naz Reid. And remember Spurs just gave up a young piece that will fit really well with the #1 D in the league... come on be realistic...
We better not have given away an 8th overall just to sign trash like tobias harris. Buzelis was sitting there for us with a rookie contract, MLE are there to sign old dogs to mentor the young pups. I really dont understand what the fuck hes doing and at this point how can any spurs fan trust this guy with next years 1st rounders? To what? Trade em for 2542/2907 unprotected 1st rounders.
no we don't. We need to build a defensive system and tank one more year. No shooter and young PG is a perfect scenario. Then when the young talent is ready we trade picks and acquire a shooter to plug them into a fully functional system with s tier defense.
Obviously, everything the Spurs do has been thoroughly thought out and planned as they slowly rebuild for the future It remains to be seen if they will do a trade or sign some free agents. This draft was not deep. I believe they drafted one of the best, if not the best, pick in this draft. 2025 will be a much deeper, stronger draft, and it will be a better time for free agents to be signed. There now are the makings for a good starting four with Wemby, Sochan, Vassell, and Castle.
I already had a hunch that dillingham wouldnt be staying. I called it ahead of picking him, and I was right. This gives SA more space to figure out what to do with the free agency enroute to the next phase of the rebuild. Wright is getting slack for some decisions he’s made in the past, but remember, RC and Pop are still around giving guidance.
Gave away a lottery pick for future picks from a team who will highly likely be contenders in 2030. Ant man will be in his peak still at 29! Y’all better be packaging those picks for a bigger move!
The two 1st round picks from dilly would be used to get a top pg in free agency..Castle will be the big defensive pg to replace the sochan experiment and up size from tre Jones.
People are upset but remember how we all celebrated getting two 1st rd picks from the Hawks for Dejounte? The Spurs literally just did that but for a player that hasn't even played a single NBA game. Yes those picks are from 6+ yrs from now but what people don't understand is that Minnesota traded away the vast majority of their future for Gobert. They have a grand total of ONE future 1st rd pick (2028) all the way to 2031. Wanna how much 1st rd picks the Spurs have in that same time frame? TWELVE! In the year 2031 ANT will be 29, KAT will be 34, and Gobert will be 38. With Minnesota not having anymore future draft capital, it's going to be extremely hard for them to improve that roster through anymore trades and they are going to ge f**ked hard by the CBA since they're going to have to start paying for their players, they are already in the 2nd apron as is so I imagine they're going to have to let go of some of their core via free agency at some point. Those 2030 and 2031 draft picks are looking mighty juicy already. Also, DO NOT think that the Spurs will simply just have to wait til 2030 to start using those picks! I am fairly sure that they will trade for a top 10 player somewhere around 2026 and they will use some of their future draft picks to get that player. Spurs can now outbid pretty much the entire rest of the league say if Giannis, Luka, or Jokic ever becomes disgruntled and wants out. The future is very bright!
No you’re just slow in the head We traded a first for two firsts, you’re just slow and upset you have to be patient BTW these picks will be packaged in a TRADE. You’re not gonna have to wait until 2031
@@Travreviews Right, you're a part of the front office now you've got intel on the Darius Garland trade. Till the Spurs actually make a trade, kindly f*ck off
Or Cody! And no we trade a top ten pick for an extra 1st not 2 first! A top 10 pick for most likely 2 mid 1st rounders! This bum also trade D.White for a player who’s out of the league and Blake W! Think about that sht! Blake probably be cut by next year!
People like to point to Ants age when saying this move was bad. Name one time in Timberwolves history where they've contended for a 7 year stretch. I'll wait. Their front office is incapable of sustaining a championship caliber team for that long. They blew 5 first round picks on Rudy who will be a bench piece at best, or retired by then. Same logic applies to Kat. They only have one first round pick, and the pick swap (worst) until 2031. These picks will likely not convey to us, but using them in trades as a means of keeping Atlanta picks is a way better approach than having a 6'1 160 lb defensive liability as a PG.
When you have Naz Reid you don't need KAT When you're #1 on D with *and* without Gobert, you don't need Gobert. And remember Spurs just gave up a great young piece to the 22 years old Ant's team. I'd be very surprised if Twolves are not contender in 2030. I don't say they'll be the 1st seed every year, but draft pick #20 to #30 are just bad weak pick even on a great draft year. No one now the future but what is the most probable knowing all that?...
@aspleen1102 Pointing out how little of an impact the guy your franchise blew its load to obtain isn't going to sway my opinion of the timberwolves. With the way the new CBA is set up you need draft capital to bring in affordable talent, & avoid the 2nd/3rd apron. I don't care if you have prime jordan, or even better, Wembanyama. Under the new CBA one first round pick in the next 7 years will not equate to long term sucess. & it isn't a question of what the picks convey to, it's a question of will other GMs value the picks of a franchise with a history of perpetually fucking up.
Brian Wright best job was getting lucky by being so bad the past 7 years to get Wemby. Imagine if the ping pong balls didn’t fall for us last year. This guy is a bad GM
He specifically made the Dejounte trade that made it possible, it wasn’t just luck I wish our spoiled fanbase wasn’t so uninformed and loud :/ spurs fans looking so dumb today
That’s like saying, “I manifested the my lottery win because I decided to buy a lottery ticket.” 😂 It literally was luck that we won the draft lottery.
Matas Buzelis and Cody Williams were still available at 8th. Or they could have picked Nikola Topic and make him sit out the upcoming season. I know that they missed out on Tidjane Salaun, but they could have done something with that pick. They basically handed it to the Wolves for free.
They traded 8th spot, 6.1 g league pg for two picks. These picks can be used for Julian and Malaki replacement trades. This is much better than having a project player like Topic or even Williams. Let's hold on and see what they acquire. My guess that it's gonna be sooner than later.
We have to see what he does with those 1st rounders. These days, the players price has been ridiculous. You pay guys like Rudy Gobert, who isnt even superstar for 8 1st round picks while guys like Bridges are priced at 5 1st picks. Those 1st round picks will come in handy in upcoming trades esp in 25-26 when real big name FA comes off the books (like Tatum, not Garland or Young). We also freed up some cap space. Apparently Spurs are not looking to upgrade in 24 in fast manner, so we have to wait and see how this plays out.
Terrible pick at 4. We already have 3 other guards exactly like this guy slashers who aren’t natural passers and have a sketchy shot. What a waste smh Now dillingham is gonna be a beast
He traded Thad Young, Josh Richardson, Jakob Poeltl all for firsts Traded Dejounte for peak value, making Wemby possible He’s a great GM, it’s just some Spurs fans like you don’t pay attention and aren’t smart 😂
@@Travreviews Traded Young for mALAKI lMAO . Richardson wasnt traded for a 1st you bozo and Dejounte for two 1st rounders " Charlotte protected pick is never gonna happen " . 2 mid first rounders for dejounte isnt the best steal and Any Bozo can tank for a Chance at wemby . He cant form a team and you cant form a good thought
What about the fans that have held on with this team I really want this guys time as our gm to be over drafting wemby was a no brainer but what other picks has he struck gold on we had the potential to add to solid guards for the future to a team who lacked good guard play and we traded one of the most talented players in the draft for picks we won’t be able to use till I’m almost 40 please get rid of this guy before we lose pop first
“Can’t speak too specifics. But at a point in time we’ll talk about that.” Chill out San Antonio. Big trade incoming… I finally wrapped my head around this trade… They did not want to add too many young guys to the already YOUNGEST roster in the entire NBA. They wanted Castle, they got him. Job done. Now they focus on bringing experience to the team… Trade, FA or maybe both. We’ll see. That trade does not make any sense other wise. Be patient
Only annoying thing, Wright acts like he knows the process of how to build a championship team, he has a lot of work to do. I love Castle because he seems more talented than our other guards, but we do have a lot of 6'5"ish guards, small when you compare to elite teams. Wesley, Johnson, Vasaell, Branham, sid, all smaller wings, and one of those guys we invested in just lost a year of real development time, not sure why we keep drafting smaller guards, Primo, Walker, and all the guys we have now.
@@visq they are both 6'5"ish without shoes, love both players, just wish we had that 6'8" player without shoes wing defender, even Sochan is 6'7" without shoes.
If the spurs are still trash in 4 years, trading dillingham may backfire. Even something like the Wizards building a french foundation Wemby might not want to stay on a team aggressively losing.
Getting mad for trading on a weak draft is laughable like more ammo for a Superstar Trade piece or Possibility of Future Lottery Pick? Yes Sign Me Up 👏🏽
When was the last time the spurs made a trade for a superstar????Timberwolves just made the WCF for the first time in years, Anthony Edwards is most likely going to be in his prime in 2030-2031. Stupid ass trade, those Timberwolves picks are most likely gonna be late 20’s.
Rob Dillingham has great skills and a great personality, but some 160 lbs on a 6'3" frame. That's on the skinny side even on a 5'6" frame. A 5'6" man with that weight can have a toned body, but won't turn heads with his guns. Rob needs to bulk up.
This GM is 🗑️ Timberwolves 2031 pick 😂 what a joke. He hasn’t made any great draft picks since he’s had this job. He has missed and passed on better players every year.
He hasn't made any great draft picks? Are you serious? He's the GM who drafted Wemby. Lol. Also, I want a Dalton Knecht at 8th but them trading the 8th for literally 2 picks (since I bet in 2030, the Spurs is much better than the Wolves), and on a Wemby's prime.
@@jeffreyaquino4146yeah the Wolves are most likely going to be out of their title window by that point, I know Anthony Edwards is young, but Rudy Gobert is not, Karl-Anthony towns is older than you think, and they literally have no draft picks between now and 2029. Now that they’ve traded us the 30 and 31 pick,there’s a good chance those are lottery picks. Having those in Vic’s prime will be a godsend

Trading #8 in a weak draft, to a team that essentially gave up two unprotected firsts in ‘30 and ‘31, who have a good chance of being out of their title window by that time, sounds good to me. Having potential lottery picks in the heart of Victor’s prime will be great for the team. And if we want we can trade them. I’m happy with Castle too

fire this dude
Another year of "we'll see" Brian. His track record isn't giving me alot of confidence. Until proven otherwise, giving up an 8th overall for no immediate return is completely idiotic when youre already a lottery team.(inb4 "it was a weak draft" excuse) okay I know what everyone's ASSUMING is the spurs are using these picks to trade for a good player, a star. But who the hell currently is looking to offload said player(s) for picks half a decade down the road?! I think to walk away with only 1 player when you had two picks in the top 10, and having clear needs in the current roster is a jackass move. Let's show that the spurs are interested in improving NOW we have a generational talent give him a reason to see the team is IMPROVING.
I think its an overall good move because we have so many first in next years draft and limited roster spots are a thing
@@homerobazan6220 they think that we had 20 roster spots and plenty of cap space.
You act like Dilligham is about to be a superstar. There aren't any superstars in this draft
@toppdogg2815 it wolves who picked Rob. We should've taken Matas and kept him.
I agree. I don't mind trading Dillingham but I'd wish the return was closer instead of 6-7 years from now.
why the hell would you trade rob dillingham? didn't event get the wolves pick this year. I swear if Rob balls out this year I'm gonna be pissed
Castle will acclimate to the system easily, and will pair well with Wemby. Im excited how these two youngbloods will gel and grow together into the Spurs way.
Hope they got a trade upcoming if they gave away that 8th pick. Spurs could have gotten a Knecht or Edey, if they do not want Dillingham, pieces that could improve their bench.
Paying $7M for bench role players is certainly A strategy
@@bigdsmooth6 this couch gms surely knows what are they talking about. i would love to pick buzelis/knecht/ williams but ididnt see the workouts and the evaluation of this players, the fit for the culture and our players so i have no right to judge if they fumbled this pick.

I miss RC Buford as GM
RC was in the room. And I think Brian is low-key great - just like a Spurs employee should be
RC is definitely a huge voice in the decision process as well. Pops VP. Brain Wright isn’t making the final call on every choice, they work in unison
@@AshadowsShadow Brian makes the final call man. R.C. allows people to do their jobs. That's how they operate over there
RC is literally above Brian as a decision maker lol
@@toppdogg2815 That’s actually probably a fair assessment, none of can 1000% know for sure, but i would presume that if Pop or RC (especially Pop) really wanted a certain guy at 8, they would’ve taken him. Also, teams use a multi dynamic with several individuals perspectives approach to make their board. However, I am inclined to agree with you that Brian Wright might get to make a decision against the consensus wisdom if he wanted to. We really have no idea. It’s all speculation based on how we perceive the spurs culture to be.
If Saläun doesn't get drafted at #6, I think we'd have picked it instead of trading. I hope we get a little aggressive on the trade market and get a wing, though... I feel like we're gonna have to wait one more year to get a decent PF 😭

I was hoping to get castle and the center lol
Honest question, to all the fans defending trading away the #8 pick. Where does this trust for Brian Wrong come from? Is it the Primo pick? Is it passing up on Alperen Sengun in 2021, or Tyrese Haliburton & Tyrese Maxey in 2020? Is it his experience working with the Orlando Magic or the Detroit Pistons when both were consistent lottery teams?
Nah I think it's drafting the worst D in the league, *Malaki Branham* (#20) over the 2nd best Shot blocker in the league (behind Wemby) *Walker Kessler* (#22). 😑
Love the pick. Welcome Stephon. Go Spurs Go!
Why did they hire this guy??

The issue is that we have too many 6'5"ish utility players without a definitive skill. Passing on Buzelis or even Knecht was stupid.
The great OBFUSCATOR. But don’t forget he passed on Tyrese & still hasn’t answered for Primo.
Pretty sure Brian Wright didn’t pull out Primo’s junk.
It's always interesting to see these moments with Brian Wright. He is such a private businessperson, it's hard to know what his motivations are. I'm sure that plays in his favor, but it makes it hard for fans to endear themselves to him and support his decisions. I think for now we're open to see where this takes us, but I personally doubt we'll see anything come out of it for another 3-4 years.
Brian Wrong got us again. Trading away #8 was a horrible move.

I hope they know what they're ding, but that crap last night was wired. For a #8 pick of the 1st round of the 2024 draft, we got a 1st round pick in 2030? What the hell? We couldn't get Mike Conley or even Nas Reid? I'm 54 and I don't remember seeing any team trade a #8 pick for a pick 6 YEARS IN THE FUTURE.
So six years from now, you can definitely know where Minnesota will pick in the draft? Interesting. I am not sure what is for supper, but you know who will be available for the Spurs with the pick and swap they get in six years. Wow! You need to go to Vegas and get rich.
Just for the record, which of the wonderful choices at #8 would you have made to impact the Spurs in 2024-25? This is a weak draft. Once you to beyond Terjane Salaun, there was just not a lot of superior talent in it.
Look at what is coming up tonight. Lots and lots of project players.
@@sarahmccoy1941 Buddy if the wolves wanted Rob, we should've gotten somebody or something in return that can help us now or next year. Not in 6 years. Hell a 2044 1st round pick would've been cool with you,, huh? But maybe you're right. I just hope we improve the team during free agency.
I'm super excited about the draft adding Castle, Nunez, and Ingram and a 1st round pick in 2031. Go Spurs Go!🏆🎊 🍾 #Raceforseis
He’s made it clear they’d prefer to be flexible - they want picks and cap space. They didn’t love anyone in this draft, they probably wanted Rissacher but weren’t prepared to overpay for him, and they probably liked Salaun but he went early at 6. They still don’t want to rush the Wemby build unnecessarily. Next year’s draft will be much stronger and they have like 4 first round picks, if they underperform they will use them, if they over perform they may package some for a Garland level PG. This is the correct strategy.
I don’t see any reason not to take Cody Williams, Buzelis or Topic with the 8th pick. A peak and swap in 5 years is good if you already have a team filled with talent; current SAS simply lacks both quality and perspective.
💯! Don’t surprise me though. B.Wrong sucks!!
This cocky dude really acting like it was a hard decision to choose castle? Who was projected at 6 or 7.. when you have the best coach and player in the world you don’t wait till 2031.
We aren’t waiting till 2031, we have plenty of picks in the meantime and having potential lottery picks in the heart of victors prime is going to be great for us.

DILLINGHAM WAS ONE OF THE WORST DEFENDERS IN COLLEGIATE BASKETBALL LAST SEASON. He may well have been the worst. According to analytics, he ranked in the 0 percentile for defense. The Spurs got something and relinquished nothing.
Those people scoffing at fans complaining. This is what being a a fan is about. Of course Brian wright can prove us all wrong and we want to see the team succeed. But his track record right now hasn’t done much and he’s still unproven. The spurs can’t afford to make mistakes or else Wemby will play somewhere else. Even Duncan had Robinson, Manu and Tony had Tim, Leonard had the big 3. We can’t just expect Wemby will be patient with mediocrity. Let’s hope the team can take a leap this year, but they still have so much work to do.
This is nonsense babble, Brian Wright has amassed a TON of picks, CAP SPACE, AND made the controversial Dejounte trade that made Wemby possible in the first place. He got firsts for Jakob Poeltl and Josh Richardson and THAD YOUNG 😂
It’s good he ignores the nonsense BABBLE from fans like you that don’t pay attention
I agree, anyone telling you this guy is a genius for getting draft picks is an idiot cause they must not know his draft track record. I hope he can wheel and deal to get whoever this "secret big trade" is going to land cause this franchise is already on its longest drought with no playoffs, seen it's worst losing streak ever all while having a generational talent and rookie of the year. No more sitting around to end up in the lottery again next year this team needs to show it can make improvements NOW
@TravReviewsAThing these clowns just want to keep echoing that narrative to themselves as a hopeful speak it into existence scenario. Praying that their negativity and rush to win will get into Wembys field of vision and make him consider leaving SA. To join the team they're fans of.

@@tanakathecowboy we have four potential first round picks next year most likely 2 either way what are we gaining from tanking again....
Obviously, everything the Spurs do has been thoroughly thought out and planned as they slowly rebuild for the future
It remains to be seen if they will do a trade or sign some free agents.
This draft was not deep. I believe they drafted one of the best, if not the best, pick in this draft.
2025 will be a much deeper, stronger draft, and it will be a better time for free agents to be signed.
There now are the makings for a good starting four with Wemby, Sochan, Vassell, and Castle.
I already had a hunch that dillingham wouldnt be staying. I called it ahead of picking him, and I was right. This gives SA more space to figure out what to do with the free agency enroute to the next phase of the rebuild. Wright is getting slack for some decisions he’s made in the past, but remember, RC and Pop are still around giving guidance.
Start scouting those 7th graders Brian
He'll probably trade those in 2030 for some future 1st round in 2038/2039... and then everyone will just forgot how bad this trade was.
look bad that we gave up rob but remember next year draft have nolan traore and cooper flagg , lets get them!

Yes those picks are from 6+ yrs from now but what people don't understand is that Minnesota traded away the vast majority of their future for Gobert. They have a grand total of ONE future 1st rd pick (2028) all the way to 2031. Wanna how much 1st rd picks the Spurs have in that same time frame? TWELVE!
In the year 2031 ANT will be 29, KAT will be 34, and Gobert will be 38. With Minnesota not having anymore future draft capital, it's going to be extremely hard for them to improve that roster through anymore trades and they are going to ge f**ked hard by the CBA since they're going to have to start paying for their players, they are already in the 2nd apron as is so I imagine they're going to have to let go of some of their core via free agency at some point. Those 2030 and 2031 draft picks are looking mighty juicy already.
Also, DO NOT think that the Spurs will simply just have to wait til 2030 to start using those picks! I am fairly sure that they will trade for a top 10 player somewhere around 2026 and they will use some of their future draft picks to get that player. Spurs can now outbid pretty much the entire rest of the league say if Giannis, Luka, or Jokic ever becomes disgruntled and wants out. The future is very bright!
San Antonio tiene que arriesgar en la agencia libre,esperemos que allá alguna sorpresa😬
I feel like they are planning on trading that draft capital and some players later on, this roster will definitely not look the same later on
Sochan&Castle can not shoot
The trade was bad, no two ways about it. Should've taken a risk with Buzelis instead
No you’re just slow in the head
We traded a first for two firsts, you’re just slow and upset you have to be patient
BTW these picks will be packaged in a TRADE. You’re not gonna have to wait until 2031
@@Travreviews Right, you're a part of the front office now you've got intel on the Darius Garland trade. Till the Spurs actually make a trade, kindly f*ck off
Or Cody! And no we trade a top ten pick for an extra 1st not 2 first! A top 10 pick for most likely 2 mid 1st rounders! This bum also trade D.White for a player who’s out of the league and Blake W! Think about that sht! Blake probably be cut by next year!
People like to point to Ants age when saying this move was bad. Name one time in Timberwolves history where they've contended for a 7 year stretch. I'll wait. Their front office is incapable of sustaining a championship caliber team for that long. They blew 5 first round picks on Rudy who will be a bench piece at best, or retired by then. Same logic applies to Kat. They only have one first round pick, and the pick swap (worst) until 2031.
These picks will likely not convey to us, but using them in trades as a means of keeping Atlanta picks is a way better approach than having a 6'1 160 lb defensive liability as a PG.
When you have Naz Reid you don't need KAT
When you're #1 on D with *and* without Gobert, you don't need Gobert.
And remember Spurs just gave up a great young piece to the 22 years old Ant's team. I'd be very surprised if Twolves are not contender in 2030. I don't say they'll be the 1st seed every year, but draft pick #20 to #30 are just bad weak pick even on a great draft year.
No one now the future but what is the most probable knowing all that?...
@aspleen1102 Pointing out how little of an impact the guy your franchise blew its load to obtain isn't going to sway my opinion of the timberwolves. With the way the new CBA is set up you need draft capital to bring in affordable talent, & avoid the 2nd/3rd apron. I don't care if you have prime jordan, or even better, Wembanyama. Under the new CBA one first round pick in the next 7 years will not equate to long term sucess. & it isn't a question of what the picks convey to, it's a question of will other GMs value the picks of a franchise with a history of perpetually fucking up.
Brian Wright best job was getting lucky by being so bad the past 7 years to get Wemby. Imagine if the ping pong balls didn’t fall for us last year. This guy is a bad GM
He specifically made the Dejounte trade that made it possible, it wasn’t just luck
I wish our spoiled fanbase wasn’t so uninformed and loud :/ spurs fans looking so dumb today
That’s like saying, “I manifested the my lottery win because I decided to buy a lottery ticket.” 😂 It literally was luck that we won the draft lottery.
Matas Buzelis and Cody Williams were still available at 8th. Or they could have picked Nikola Topic and make him sit out the upcoming season. I know that they missed out on Tidjane Salaun, but they could have done something with that pick. They basically handed it to the Wolves for free.
It wasn't free. They getting some draft capital back
@@toppdogg2815 2030 and 2031 picks 🤣
They traded 8th spot, 6.1 g league pg for two picks. These picks can be used for Julian and Malaki replacement trades. This is much better than having a project player like Topic or even Williams. Let's hold on and see what they acquire. My guess that it's gonna be sooner than later.
We have to see what he does with those 1st rounders. These days, the players price has been ridiculous. You pay guys like Rudy Gobert, who isnt even superstar for 8 1st round picks while guys like Bridges are priced at 5 1st picks. Those 1st round picks will come in handy in upcoming trades esp in 25-26 when real big name FA comes off the books (like Tatum, not Garland or Young). We also freed up some cap space. Apparently Spurs are not looking to upgrade in 24 in fast manner, so we have to wait and see how this plays out.
Awful man
Terrible pick at 4. We already have 3 other guards exactly like this guy slashers who aren’t natural passers and have a sketchy shot. What a waste smh Now dillingham is gonna be a beast
Great job Brian to you and your team! 👏 🎉Always working hard to find the right person. Can’t wait to see my Spurs back on the hardwood. GSG!!!
Bro has no clue how to GM .
He traded Thad Young, Josh Richardson, Jakob Poeltl all for firsts
Traded Dejounte for peak value, making Wemby possible
He’s a great GM, it’s just some Spurs fans like you don’t pay attention and aren’t smart 😂
I don’t know I have my doubts but I think he knows the new way. He’s no RC but either he will fail or be great. We shall see
@@Travreviews Traded Young for mALAKI lMAO . Richardson wasnt traded for a 1st you bozo and Dejounte for two 1st rounders " Charlotte protected pick is never gonna happen " . 2 mid first rounders for dejounte isnt the best steal and Any Bozo can tank for a Chance at wemby . He cant form a team and you cant form a good thought
What about the fans that have held on with this team I really want this guys time as our gm to be over drafting wemby was a no brainer but what other picks has he struck gold on we had the potential to add to solid guards for the future to a team who lacked good guard play and we traded one of the most talented players in the draft for picks we won’t be able to use till I’m almost 40 please get rid of this guy before we lose pop first
I just feel like the Spurs draft better later in the draft historically
“Can’t speak too specifics. But at a point in time we’ll talk about that.” Chill out San Antonio. Big trade incoming… I finally wrapped my head around this trade… They did not want to add too many young guys to the already YOUNGEST roster in the entire NBA. They wanted Castle, they got him. Job done. Now they focus on bringing experience to the team… Trade, FA or maybe both. We’ll see. That trade does not make any sense other wise. Be patient
Why trading the 8 pick for 2 future first round picks we fans need a answer Spurs
only one first round pick (it'll probably be a late FRP) and a pick swap.
What the hell are we doing
Improving our defense and developing the guys we have for now. 2025-26 playoffs is the primary objective.
Who tf is We? U just sit on that couch & stfu
@@gremlinmachineshop Guarantee you Spurs ain't making the playoffs, this dude sucks as GM.
@@alwaysasky6594 read what I wrote again. 2025-26 is the first season we are even attempting to make the playoffs. That is not NEXT season.
@@gremlinmachineshop a bunch of emotional reactionary fans that cant be patient with dumb ass takes 😂. Dummies cant see past this current year.
Only annoying thing, Wright acts like he knows the process of how to build a championship team, he has a lot of work to do. I love Castle because he seems more talented than our other guards, but we do have a lot of 6'5"ish guards, small when you compare to elite teams. Wesley, Johnson, Vasaell, Branham, sid, all smaller wings, and one of those guys we invested in just lost a year of real development time, not sure why we keep drafting smaller guards, Primo, Walker, and all the guys we have now.
Weight is the front man buffer trust me.
What a nonsensical criticism. Is he supposed to act confused and scared? 😂
Brian Wright’s critics are fake smart with nothing of substance to say.
Vassell and Sidy aren't small. Whattt??? And Wesley is tough, fast and has wingspan.
Yeah not a fan of all these small guard picks. Seems sketch
@@visq they are both 6'5"ish without shoes, love both players, just wish we had that 6'8" player without shoes wing defender, even Sochan is 6'7" without shoes.
If the spurs are still trash in 4 years, trading dillingham may backfire. Even something like the Wizards building a french foundation Wemby might not want to stay on a team aggressively losing.
Getting mad for trading on a weak draft is laughable like more ammo for a Superstar Trade piece or Possibility of Future Lottery Pick? Yes Sign Me Up 👏🏽
When was the last time the spurs made a trade for a superstar????Timberwolves just made the WCF for the first time in years, Anthony Edwards is most likely going to be in his prime in 2030-2031. Stupid ass trade, those Timberwolves picks are most likely gonna be late 20’s.
We're gonna have 4 first round picks next year. Just saying
Spurs ….🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Rob Dillingham has great skills and a great personality, but some 160 lbs on a 6'3" frame. That's on the skinny side even on a 5'6" frame. A 5'6" man with that weight can have a toned body, but won't turn heads with his guns.
Rob needs to bulk up.
This GM is 🗑️
Timberwolves 2031 pick 😂 what a joke. He hasn’t made any great draft picks since he’s had this job. He has missed and passed on better players every year.
I agree have not liked one draft he’s been on beyond wemby which had nothing to do with him
I do like the castle pick ptw
He hasn't made any great draft picks? Are you serious? He's the GM who drafted Wemby. Lol. Also, I want a Dalton Knecht at 8th but them trading the 8th for literally 2 picks (since I bet in 2030, the Spurs is much better than the Wolves), and on a Wemby's prime.
@@jeffreyaquino4146yeah the Wolves are most likely going to be out of their title window by that point, I know Anthony Edwards is young, but Rudy Gobert is not, Karl-Anthony towns is older than you think, and they literally have no draft picks between now and 2029. Now that they’ve traded us the 30 and 31 pick,there’s a good chance those are lottery picks. Having those in Vic’s prime will be a godsend
