Ok, all is well in the world. Perfect scenario for San Antonio Spurs and Wemby. We need to trade up for Scoot?

If not us, glad it’s the Spurs.

I was right on top-2 Teams. Just glad Portland didn't win #1 after jumping The Magic by tanking.

Great for the Spurs. If it wasn't us I was rooting for them.

Also, if we want to be "hurr hurr, should've tanked" Houston and Detroit did that and ended up with the 4th and 5th slots. Sucks for them.

They want a wing.

Portland may be incentivized to trade that pick btw. I don't think Brandon Miller is moving the needle for Dame.

6 and 11 will do just fine if we draft well.

San Antonio are a deserving franchise. I'm happy with that result and happy for their fans. If not us, good for them.

Whitmore is not a top 5 pick

Wish they would do a legit tournament for the top pick with those that miss the playoffs.

I wouldn't be shocked if Dame is traded, they are in perfect position to rebound.
