    I am possibly trying to bang Scarlett Johansson and Lori Harvey?

    I don’t buy it. And 4+8 shouldn’t be enough to get that done, anyway.

  3. Not sure I buy it, unless theyā€™re extremely high on Risacher and donā€™t think heā€™ll be there at 4

    That would mean Atlanta is not impressed with Sarr or Risacher. Ā They have no need for castle, Sheppard, Topic, or dillongham.Ā 
    (Unless one of Murray or Young are traded)

    So who would they be targeting? Ā 

  5. Notapplesauce11

    Hypothetically if Spurs did want to move up, what would it cost them?Ā 

    4th,8th, 2025 pick? Ā (Too much imo)

    4th 8th, cancel the pick swaps? Ā (Sure)

    4th, 8th, some combination of young players plus some 2nds (sure)

    4th, 2025 pick, cancel the pick swaps? (Maybe..)

    No one is moving up into the top 3 for the guys in this class. ā€œPossibly exploringā€ means nothing.

    it’s going to be like april fools till the draft with all these people making up things.

  8. titoxtian

    They will give 1st pick and trae/dj for 10 2nd rounders and they will like itā€¦

    Ordinarily Iā€™d be against this because I donā€™t think Sarr is worth it, but on the other hand, being a big picked #1 by the Spurs places the opposite of a curse on you and you end up being an all time great

  10. Bonesawisready5

    I am not against it but I prefer two players vs 1. If they do this I prefer Sarr to Risacher personally

  11. CoyotesSideEyes

    I don’t think that’s insane. The Hawks have money issues…and if they like Clingan better than Sarr as a Trae pairing (which is very, very reasonable. He’s a better rim runner.) moving to 4 could get them their guy and add another cheap young talent to the roster.

    If they could dump Capela on us, that would be helpful as well. (for Graham? For Zach?)

    If we’re super in on Sarr or Risacher, it’s worth losing pick 8 to get one of them.

    What I’d really like to see in that deal is an AJ Griffin throw-in.

    Fuck it, the last time we had 2 #1 pick centers we did pretty well. /s

  13. Bonesawisready5

    Wild trade fever dream: 4+8+ Graham + CHI 2025 + maybe Keldon for 1 + Dejounte? I may be high tho

  14. rawsharks

    I feel like the top prospects have such clear flaws you get more value with two good chances for a hit at 4 and 8 than you do with one great chance at 1.

  15. GlueGuy00

    Only in favor of this if Wizards wants Rob at 2 and Spurs are trying to get ahead of them

  16. seceipseseer

    They are going to explore all options. Thatā€™s directly from Brian wright. This isnā€™t news.

  17. “Possibly exploring” is about as couched as it gets. One could say the Spurs are “possibly exploring” basically anything. The Spurs are “possibly exploring” moving up, moving down, staying put, bringing back Manu as starting point guard, etc. etc.

  18. nakedsamurai

    Such a goddamn stupid idea, it has to come from ESPN’s House of Clickbaits.

  19. Axsh1boomba

    If the Spurs go after Sarr, Collins is as good as gone, right?

  20. ThatsMarvelous

    A bit over a week ago I made a semi-hot take prediction that San Antonio would package the #4 plus other significant assets to move to 1 or 2 to draft Sheppard

    I’m not saying that’s good. I just think SA doesn’t give a flying duck about anyone’s draft boards, and I suspect they’re very, very high on Sheppard’s Derrick White-like mega advanced stats and ability to draw gravity on the perimeter while Wemby draws it down low. Two big black holes of gravity, plus passable active defense from Sheppard.

    I’m not even sure this is a hot take, I won’t be at all surprised if it happens.

    If this the type of news the media is breaking during the off season, where I can apply for a part time role šŸ¤£

  22. Mangoseed8

    Rumorā€¦started by the Hawks to try to get teams to start calling about that pick.
