What is Portland doing?  They have 3 centers and a bunch of guards.

They are mimicking those stupid teams I created in old NBA games with a bunch of fake tall players that all had a 99 rating at everything. It just won’t work out as well.

I'm still surprised they picked an international player over a college star.

Spurs recent drafting has been just as hit or miss as most teams'.  Why they get the benefit of the doubt all the time?

Funny to see the same blokes that hate the Hawks still hate the Hawks but just found a different reason. 

I don't hate the Hawks, but I don't like the pick. I'll still hope he turns into something tho. 

[RandomFan]

A trade you say?

Dillingham "studied the likes of Darius Garland"?

Eh ....

Well there goes ANY spurs trade lol.

This ain't hard.  Even the most diehard Trae Stan can't defend the Hawks not surrounding Trae with a defender in this draft.  The Spurs know what to do.  The kept it simple.  If they can't pry Sarr away from the Hawks (who should've drafted Sarr), then the next best pick for defensive help was Castle.  Today, right now, the Spurs are closer to yet another NBA championship than the Hawks.

Wasn't talking about you.  Had to make it vague enough to not get in trouble.

Looks like we are stuck with Marvin's Godson

What does this mean?

The best thing I can say about Risacher is that I have high confidence he will be a contributing rotation player and you can’t have too many wings.  My worry is that I’m not sure he will be a good starter.

Risacher is a good wing defender. You guys are way too down on him.

Oh those Spurs trades are dead, dead.

I have no idea what you are talking about. If we're trading Risacher the most connected trade partner was the Spurs. Hence why I said wait for the Spurs pick.

Why would they trust any draft trade with the Spurs… they own their next 3 firsts… what’s their motivation in making Atlanta a better team? Regardless of if Clingan is there at #4, I highly doubt the Spurs do any trade with them unless the Hawks are getting worse after the deal.

Resslers: Hey Spurs… we messed up… can we trade back Murray since y’all need a playmaking PG? All we ask for are our picks back. *desperate desperate… we are really desperate*

Spurs: Nah… we still want your picks… but tell you what… draft Risacher then… *hehe*… then we’ll talk…

Schlenk: Yeah Hawks… y’all should take Risacher… “Starr” er I mean Sarr isn’t someone we really want anyway… *high fives Wiz owner*

Welp… as predicted… it looks like the Spurs made us draft someone at 1 and now those 3 1sts are looking more valuable than if we drafted Sarr. Anyone who understands perspectives would’ve not trusted the Spurs and would’ve seen this coming from a mile away. Gosh I hope ZR proves me wrong, but this doesn’t look good.

Its stan not stand there, @Hawkmoor

But you are right, if I am Trae right now, I be asking why they did this for, and I be asking for a trade right now.
