The Spurs have real interest in Donovan Clingan outside of a possible trade-up scenario with the Hawks for the No. 1 pick, league sources told @ClutchPoints. New details coming shortly in our final Mock Draft 5.0.

    I won’t be mad but it will be strange fit. At least he can take Collins job at worst

  2. generational_lover69

    We are “showing interest” in like a trillion different players at this point

  3. throwstuff165

    I’ll believe it when I see it. Smokiest of all smokescreens.

  4. SpeedStickPapi

    Breaking! All teams expected to show interest in good players in a surprising turn of events! Check out our latest mock draft for all the details!

  5. Jokes on you after the 2021 draft nothing can hurt me anymore

  6. Hungry-Raisin-5328

    Too many rumours. I’ve stopped paying attention. I’m just going to not thinking and enjoy the moments tonight.

  7. BigDickVicW

    I think Clingan and/or trading up for 1 would be a disaster.

  8. Carter will be available and could be as good a choice as Castle.

  9. CRoseCrizzle

    I don’t get all the Clingan love. He’s obviously a big guy and a good interior defender with solid mobility for his size. But offensively, nothing special. Will be a good role player imo. But not who I’d take first overall and def not someone to trade up for.

    If this were the 90s, I’d pair him with Wemby for sure. But the Spurs have more pressing needs.

    Unless the Spurs are convinced that he’s a Wemby stopper and they’re getting him so other teams won’t have him, lol.

  10. CrissCrossAppleSos

    Why not just trade for Walker Kessler or something. He feels like the actualized version of what people hope Clingan will be

  11. Just dont let him go to Houston. Im telling you guys we dont want this dude defending our guys.

  12. SelectCampaign9771

    This just means we’re trying to get someone to trade up ahead of us making Reed or Ris fall.

  13. This is literally smoke and mirrors. Tonight cannot come soon enough.

  14. meteoric_vestibule

    My guess is that this is a smokescreen to bait another team into trading up to 3 so they can get Sheppard at 4.

  15. baguette-1234

    Feel like a counter bluff against the Hawks trade rumors for pick 1

  16. Nightfury82

    Smokescreen to get another team to trade up to 3 for Clingan. We need a PG and shooting.

  17. mrbusiness53

    Let’s just keep stacking talent and trust pop to get them in the right position to succeed.

  18. cartman_returns

    there are so many people reporting on this in today’s social media world that they need to report something new to get coverage. Spurs are way to good at hiding their cards.

    I do expect something unexpected in the first four picks but could be anything

  19. Current Vegas odds for #4:

    Castle: -125
    Clingan: +350
    Sheppard: +600
    Buzelis: +700
    Risacher: +800

    Odds for #8:

    Devin Carter: +200
    Tidjane Salaun: +350
    Ron Holland: +500
    Dillingham: +600
    Cody Williams: +900

  20. BBQLovingBastard

    Hey Pop it isn’t the 90s anymore, please don’t do this bullshit. Wemby is our C, he played way better at C than PF, we do NOT need Clingan.

  21. HereComesJustice

    Real talk I’m not opposed to just picking bpa/high upside picks

  22. Don’t buy it. The Spurs historically bargain for true centers(not counting #1 picks). Every player in the lottery has a high bust risk so I’d rather take two shots at any of the players available at 4 & 8.

    Castle, Carter, Sheppard, Dillingham or Carrington all have games that fit different styles and you can move them around.

    I just don’t see the Spurs drafting a player that can only play in one position and one style of offense. They have always gone after slightly flawed tweener guys outside of #1.

  23. Ok-Topic-6095

    Think the most interesting (important?) thing will be the next steps.  I can see the Spurs drafting redundant pieces if they have some trades in mind. 

    I wouldn’t do this, but if you are gonna trade for Trae, I can see drafting Clingan to replace Collins minutes if he goes out to help make the salaries work

  24. Thunderhorse74

    Who the hell knows at this point? If you were considering trading out and moving down, signaling that Clingan was your guy should get the phone ringing.

  25. So the spurs are interested in trading up, trading down, trading their picks for players and staying put to take any of the lottery projections

    So do the media know everything or absolutely nothing lmao

  26. Agents and Teams just leaking things as they jockey

    You know how Atlanta was interested in castle the other day? Yeah that’s how interested we are in clingan today

    Atlanta needs castle like we need clingan

  27. GlueGuy00

    Spurs wants to get Hawks attention so they can trade up
