Someone make this make sense, it is SO FUCKING STUPID

They really didn’t like anyone left at 8 eh lol

What has Brian Wright fucking done to show us he’s good at his job? Someone please tell me
thered90
Yikes, we might get a decent young player in 7 years time? We shouldn’t care about anything but developing players alongside Wemby…
rickynavarrete
front office shit themselves and didn’t know who to pick after salaun got picked 🤦🏻♂️
LocalPharmacist
Dude.. Brian Wright is a terrible ass GM.
Jammooly
Yo everyone calm down, Spurs will likely trade these new additional picks for an already established player in the league.
MakeAShadow
The odds of these picks being higher than 8 are like 5% what the fuck is Brian Wright thinking

This isn’t Naz Reid wtf 😭
NottDisgruntled
Bruh. The NBA and the Earth itself might not even still be around in 2031.
It’s gonna be AI robots hooping by then.
HereComesJustice
just shows that we didn’t like anyone else this year lol
but holy shit idk about picks 7 years in the future
fateoftheg0dz
I dont think we are waiting for 2030/31 to use these picks. More likely we use them eventually to trade for someone useful

Couldn’t even get #27 instead of the swap?
DeathByAudit_
Guess we didn’t need him; with 2 second rd picks; perhaps we are carrying too many into the preseason.
eanregguht
Stupid move but whatever
mongumongu
The actual fuck?
bangkero1992
jesus christ, we could have traded it for Deni
thered90
We probably weren’t high on anybody and figure we can flip this pick in a trade in a year or two when it’s time to add a star alongside Wemby.
Stratys
The only thing that could make sense is if they think they’d get more value out of these picks to use for a trade, I just find it hard to believe we’d actually keep these to use that far out.

Spurs must have been on Saluan at 8. Even in a weak draft we had plenty of guys to pick from at 8. The haul from Min seems weak, if it’s only one unprotected 1st.
tacomonstrous
This opens up $26 million in cap space and gives us a possibly great pick in the middle of Wemby’s prime. The wish gratification isn’t great, but this is a forward looking move.
General_Shanks
Could be they didn’t want to talk on rookie salary of players they didn’t like.

We traded away the 8 pick for someone who likely will be entering the 8th grade this year. 😂

I’ll be dead by then 🤷🏼

Logical trade. Instead of being forced to pick a player we don’t think will improve us, we got 2 potential lotroey picks in the future. Gobert would be retired, Ant would probably have asked out and Kat would be on his last legs. There’s potential for us here. I would have preferred if we got their 27th pick as well. It was clear it was gonna be Clingon or bust for us at 8th.

I don’t mind this much. That pick and the swap don’t seem valuable now, but this draft is likely not a draft to expect an 8th pick to be a starter, or even get a second contract. Those picks are likely to become way more valuable in the future because 1) Minnesota is unlikely to stay good for 7 years and 2) we could package that with like a 2029 pick to move up in 2028 or something if we like that draft.
This sub was obsessed with Dillingham and I was never really sold, so I’m not beat up over not keeping him.

Spurs saw how many picks it took the Knicks to get a role player and decided they needed more picks.

terrible
This feels really sparse???? Garbage ???????
I feel like Brian Wright has got this reaction from us like 4 years in a row between draft picks, trades and free agent signings. Wtf man
Why the fuck would we do that lol 😂
Bruh what the fuck??
Wtf
Tf is this
Idk if I’ve been this incensed in my fucking life. What are we doing?
Are u fucking kidding me
2031 isn’t a real year. I hate hoop
We clearly didn’t like anyone left. Punt for the future
This is terrible. We could have traded down from a different team and probably got another young l player or pick too
Maybe we use those picks to trade towards Cleveland
What a horrible trade
+1 for overthinking the obvious guys
What the fuck? This might be one of the most head scratching decisions i’ve ever seen. WHY.
