马刺在选秀大会上选中了四名新秀。你最期待谁？如果有的话，你希望他们选谁来代替？
**玛丽琳·杜宾斯基 (Marilyn Dubinski)：**作为一个不是大学篮球迷的人，当球队多年来首次远远跌出乐透区，并且在他们成为马刺球员之前你对他们一无所知时，很难对任何人产生太高或太低的期望。话虽如此，我喜欢马刺采取的方式。他们在首轮直接针对了自己暴露最明显的弱点，即内线缺乏体型和对抗能力，甚至还通过交易换来第二个选秀权，在这方面双管齐下。杰登·昆坦斯 (Jayden Quaintance) 的膝盖伤势让他成为一个长期培养项目，但当他/如果他能重新找回状态，马刺可能会再次在选秀中捡到宝。如果不行呢？塔里斯·里德 (Tarris Reed) 几乎是他们所能要求的最好的保险。第二轮就没那么令人兴奋了，但由于选秀和自由市场（FA）上的大前锋市场都有些枯竭，至少马利克·布朗 (Maliq Brown) 有机会展现一些东西（但我不会对此抱太大期望）。
**马克·巴林顿 (Mark Barrington)：**我喜欢在昆坦斯身上赌一把，尽管他下赛季不太可能提供帮助。里德看起来能在即将到来的常规赛中提供帮助，尽管新秀在他们的第一年很少能做好季后赛准备（迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 除外）。正如玛丽琳所提到的，马刺在他们最急需的两个位置上选了两个人。他们缺乏一个运动型大个子来减轻维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 的压力，并给他充足的休息时间以在比赛末段保持活力，这一点在总决赛中被尼克斯队暴露无遗。这些家伙在未来会提供很大的帮助，但对马刺来说，未来就是现在。我担心昆坦斯（JQ）的伤病史，因为马刺过去在选中那些最终未能打出来的受伤球员方面运气不佳。很多人提到了德胡安·布莱尔 (DeJuan Blair)，但我可以追溯到更久以前，还记得詹姆斯·安德森 (James Anderson)（脚伤）和利维奥·让-夏尔 (Livio Jean-Charles)（膝伤）。我相信马刺已经做好了功课，他们对杰登能够完全康复充满信心，即使他不得不经历一个红衫年（休战一年）。
我不担心第二轮选秀。贾科比·吉莱斯皮 (Ja’Kobi Gillespie) 可以作为乔丹·麦克劳克林 (Jordan McLaughlin) 或林迪·沃特斯三世 (Lindy Waters III) 的替代者，而马利克·布朗则是一名开发型球员，如果他能提高自己的进攻能力，就有可能进入轮换阵容。他们中的一个或两个明年可能会签下双向合同，如果他们能留在队中，两人大部分时间都会在奥斯汀打球。
**雅各布·道格拉斯 (Jacob Douglas)：**从长远来看，文班亚马和昆坦斯中至少有一人保护篮筐，这简直是再令人兴奋不过的事情了。圣安东尼奥拥有足够的深度，如果需要给他时间恢复健康，可以让昆坦斯在赛季的大部分时间里休战。然后，他们可能会拥有NBA最具统治力的防守前场之一。
与此同时，里德应该能在中锋位置上获得一些出场时间。他为圣安东尼奥提供了他们一直需要、能与文班亚马搭档的强硬体型。然而，除非他们担心21到25顺位的球队会选走昆坦斯，否则我更希望看到他们在第20顺位拿下贝勒大学的卡梅隆·卡尔 (Cameron Carr)，然后在第26顺位选择昆坦斯。是的，马刺需要体型，但他们也需要投射。卡尔是一名神准的三分射手和高空飞人，他最终可能会成长为一名3D侧翼。在选秀中解决这个问题并拿下一个大个子，本将是一个巨大的胜利。
**杰杰·戈麦斯 (Jeje Gomez)：**休斯敦大学的小克里斯·塞南 (Chris Cenan Jr.) 因为其出色的身体天赋让我很感兴趣，但选择昆坦斯似乎是球队能够承受的那种对上限的豪赌。大家一致认为，如果他保持健康，他本会是乐透秀级别的天才，而他在亚利桑那州立大学的赛季也印证了这一点。他可能成为一名特别的防守者，只要练出还过得去的投篮，就能成为攻防一体的悍将，而且他再过几周才满18岁，这表明他还有很大的成长空间。里德虽然没那么令人兴奋，但在身体和心理上似乎都做好了进入NBA的准备，因为他清楚自己的定位，并且乐意去做那些不起眼的脏活累活。
看到马刺在第二轮选择了一个矮个后卫和一个不会投篮的前锋，这让人有些惊讶，因为联盟正在逐渐淘汰这些类型的球员，但也许这就是他们能被选中的原因，并且他们可能会证明自己的价值。不管怎样，对二轮秀最好不要抱有太高的期望，所以如果他们能有所贡献，那就是额外之喜。
自由市场即将开启，而在选秀大会之后，马刺仍然没有升级大前锋位置。你希望他们把谁作为目标，还是你认为他们在大前锋位置上已经配置妥当？
**杜宾斯基：**如前所述，这是一个相当枯竭的市场。我不认为勒布朗·詹姆斯 (LeBron James) 会想离开加利福尼亚州（我其实也不太渴望他来，而且可能唯一能吸引他来这里的就是为波波效力，而这已经不再是一个选项了）。除了他和德雷蒙德·格林 (Draymond Green)（我对他同样不感兴趣）之外，最好的选择是约翰·科林斯 (John Collins) 和托拜厄斯·哈里斯 (Tobias Harris)。你知道吗？我们讨论科林斯成为潜在的马刺球员已经至少五年了。为什么不直接促成这件事，让我们终于能看看我们错过了什么？如果马刺不追求大前锋，我会认为他们的最终目标是让文班回到他更喜欢的大前锋位置，而囤积中锋实际上是为了看看谁能与他搭档。
**巴林顿：**我认为马刺在大前锋位置上仍然需要帮助，但他们在自由市场上的历史表明他们并不会真正去大肆争夺，因为他们更倾向于在内部培养球员。里德更像是一个中锋而不是大前锋，但随着维克托向锋线位置移动，他本赛季最终可能会与文班一起搭档双塔。约翰·科林斯很有趣，他会是一个不错的补充，但这完全取决于得到他需要付出多少代价。
**道格拉斯：**圣安东尼奥可以使用非纳税人中产特例（MLE）提供大约1500万美元、最长四年的合同。他们也可以通过交易将一名球员纳入这个空间。约翰·科林斯和八村塁 (Rui Hachimura) 是我看到最常被提及的名字。科林斯作为空接威胁可以提供一些垂直空间，并且在过去两个赛季中，他场均尝试约三次三分出手，命中率在40%左右。他可能是最合适的人选，但仍然存在疑问。在文班亚马进行协防扫荡时，他能否守住内线并防守外线？他也不是最出色的篮板手（篮板率11.4%）。
我会避开八村塁，因为他会与朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 的功能重叠。是的，八村塁的三分命中率达到了44.3%，但这些机会通常是定点接球投篮，就像尚帕尼得到的机会一样。他的篮板能力更差（篮板率仅为6.9%），防守也更差。圣安东尼奥需要一个能里能外的四号位，并且能在内线为文班亚马分担一些脏活累活。在这方面，八村塁并不合适。
我可以提供第三种选择吗？在斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 和迪伦·哈珀面临续约的情况下，我们确定马刺想每年给一个角色球员承诺1500万美元吗？如果他们选择一个稍微便宜一点的人呢？据报道，圣安东尼奥在去年休赛期对盖尔雄·亚布塞莱 (Guerschon Yabusele) 感兴趣。去年晚些时候，他在芝加哥公牛队扮演了更重要的角色，重新找回了状态。他能提供与科林斯相同水平的篮板，同时三分命中率为38%（在公牛队期间）。他会是一个更便宜的选择，能够完成圣安东尼奥对大前锋的许多需求。
**戈麦斯：**关于阿隆·戈登 (Aaron Gordon) 可能被交易的传闻让我希望马刺能大干一场，但在打进总决赛之后，他们不太可能做出任何激烈的举动。如果他们能得到八村塁、托拜厄斯·哈里斯或科林斯，我就会感到满意，我还要把普雷舍斯·阿丘瓦 (Precious Achiuwa) 加入到心仪的目标名单中。阿丘瓦不是一个投手，但他是一个强壮的前锋，凭借他的篮板能力，在紧急情况下也可以客串小球中锋，而且他上赛季为极度缺乏活力的国王队带来了能量。对于一支现在知道自己是精英球队、并且会成为众矢之的而可能产生自满情绪的马刺队来说，他也可以起到同样的作用。
如果他们决定选择更便宜的目标，肯里奇·威廉姆斯 (Kenrich Williams) 可能会很有趣。他有季后赛经验，能投一点篮，而且不惧怕身体对抗。
目前有几位备受瞩目的球员似乎可以通过交易获得。你认为马刺应该全力去追求他们中的任何一个吗？
**杜宾斯基：**我不这么认为。杰伦·布朗 (Jalen Brown) 既太容易情绪化又太贵（而且，他似乎想当老大，这在马刺比在波士顿更不可能），而像贾·莫兰特 (Ja Morant) 这样的人并不是球队急需的位置，对于马刺的体系和文化来说是绝对不能接受的。此外，出于薪资匹配的考虑，任何针对大牌球员的交易可能都需要送出达龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox)；马刺已经明确表示他们无意交易他，正如赫苏斯 (Jesus) 所指出的，在这个关头交易他看起来并不好。（郑重声明，我并不赞成交易福克斯。我认为如果他的脚踝健康，结果会大不相同。这都怪阿约·多苏穆 (Ayo Dosunmo)。）
**巴林顿：**老实说，我简直不敢相信明尼苏达为了朱利叶斯·兰德尔 (Julius Randle) 放弃了那样的交易。他仍然是一个有用的球员，但他们基本上是用第28顺位换了第33顺位来甩掉兰德尔的薪水，只是为了能溢价续约多苏穆。如果马刺能找到另一支因为阵容更迭而贱卖优秀球员的球队，也许他们可以利用对方的薪资空间问题，因为在文班和卡斯尔拿到第二份合同、以及福克斯的顶薪开始生效导致薪资空间爆炸之前，他们未来一两年的情况还算相当不错。我只是觉得这不会发生，但我预计布莱恩·莱特 (Brian Wright) 会保持警惕，留意其他球队因工资帽问题而产生恐慌的迹象。
好吧……好吧。欢迎回到圣安东尼奥，科怀·伦纳德 (Kawhi Leonard)！ 他会没事的。[开个玩笑，尽管他看起来比过去几年都要健康。]
**道格拉斯：**不，部分原因是我认为圣安东尼奥没有应该牺牲去换取他们中任何一个人的资产。阿隆·戈登或伦纳德（咽口水）会是这支球队的完美拼图，但要得到他们，可能需要放弃达龙·福克斯、德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 和/或凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson)。这个休赛期不应该进行大换血。它应该是在边缘位置进行补充，以最大化一个在他们合作的第一个完整赛季就一路杀入NBA总决赛的核心阵容。一笔需要做出重大牺牲的球星交易，要么能将他们推向巅峰，要么会彻底摧毁上赛季的所有势头。
**戈麦斯：**马刺在上赛季交易截止日期的表现——尽管拥有巨大的到期合同，他们依然按兵不动——表明他们对自己的核心阵容很满意，所以我怀疑他们是否在认真考虑做出大动作。做足功课并了解得到一位成名球星需要付出什么代价总是好的，而且有一些令人兴奋的名字可以让圣安东尼奥变得更好，但无论好坏，我只是觉得不会有大交易发生。

Why the Spurs could have a quiet offseason
The Spurs added four rookies during the draft. Who are you most excited about, and who, if anyone, did you wish they had drafted instead?
Marilyn Dubinski: As someone who is not a college basketball aficionado, it’s hard to get too high or low on anyone when you’re well outside the lottery for the first time and years and don’t know anything about anyone until they’re Spurs. That being said, I like the approach the Spurs took. They went directly at their most exposed weakness in the first round, which was a lack of size and physicality down low, and even doubled down by trading for a second pick. Jayden Quaintance is a long-term project with his knee but could have the Spurs once again owning the steal of the draft when/if he gets going again. And if not? Tarris Reed is about the best insurance policy they could have asked for. The second round was less exciting, but with the power forward market in both the draft and FA a bit dry, there’s a chance for at least Maliq Brown to show something (but I wouldn’t count on it).
Mark Barrington: I like taking a swing on Quaintance, although he’s not likely to help next season. Tarris Reed looks like he can help this upcoming regular season, although rookies are rarely playoff-ready in their first go (Dylan Harper excepted). As Marilyn mentioned, the Spurs drafted two guys at their biggest position of need. Their lack of an athletic big to take some of the pressure off Wembanyama and give him sufficient rest to be fresh at the end of games was exposed by the Knicks in the finals. These guys will be big helps in the future, but the future is now for the Spurs. I’m worried about JQ’s history of injuries, as the Spurs have had bad luck in the past with drafting injured players who haven’t panned out. A lot of people mention DeJuan Blair, but I can go back a long way and remember James Anderson (foot) and Livio Jean-Charles (knee). I trust that the Spurs have done their homework and they have a high degree of confidence that Jayden will be fully healthy, even if he has to take a redshirt year.
I’m not concerned about the second-round picks. Gillespie could slot in as a replacement for Jordan McLaughlin or Lindy Waters, and Maliq Brown as a development player who could make the rotation if he improves his offense. One or both of them will probably be on a 2-way contract next year, and both of them will play mostly in Austin if they make the team.
Jacob Douglas: Long-term, the idea of at least one of Victor Wembanyama and Quaintance protecting the rim is about as exciting as it gets. San Antonio has the depth to let Quaintance sit for the majority of the season if it needs to give him time to get healthy. Then, they could have one of the most dominant defensive front courts in the NBA.
In the meantime, Reed should be able to log some minutes at center. He gives San Antonio that bruising size they’ve needed alongside Wembanyama for a bit. However, unless they were worried about a team 21-25 selecting Quaintance, I would have liked to see them grab Cameron Carr from Baylor at 20, and then pick Quaintance at 26. Yes, the Spurs need size, but they also need shooting. Carr is a knockdown three-point shooter and a high flyer who could eventually fill out into a 3&D wing. Addressing that and grabbing a big man in the draft would have been a huge win.
Jeje Gomez: I was intrigued by Houston’s Chris Cenan Jr. because of his raw tools, but the Quaintance pick seems like the type of upside swing the team can afford to take. The consensus seems to be that he would have been a lottery talent if he had been healthy, and his Arizona State season backs that up. He could be a special defender who is a decent jumper away from being a two-way force, and the fact that he will be just 18 for a couple more weeks shows that he has plenty of room to grow. Reed is less exciting but seems NBA-ready physically and mentally, as he knows what he is and is happy to just do the non-glamorous jobs.
It was surprising to see the Spurs pick a small guard and a forward who can’t shoot in the second round, since the league is moving away from those archetypes, but maybe that’s why they were available and could prove to be valuable. Either way, it’s always better not to have high expectations for second-rounders, so if they ever contribute, it’d be a bonus.
Free agency is close, and after the draft, the Spurs still haven’t upgraded the power forward spot. Who would you like them to target, or do you think they are set at PF?
Dubinski: As previously mentioned, it’s a pretty dry market. I don’t see LeBron James wanting to leave the state of California (and don’t really desire him, plus likely the only thing that would have drawn him here would have been playing for Pop, and that’s not an option anymore). Beyond him and Draymond Green, whom I also have no interest in, the best options are John Collins and Tobias Harris. And you know what? We’ve been talking about Collins as a potential Spur for at least five years now. Why not just make it happen so we can finally see what we’ve been missing? If the Spurs don’t pursue a power forward, I’m going to assume that their eventual goal is for Wemby to move back to his preferred position of PF, and the stockpiling of centers is to actually see who can play alongside him.
Barrington: I think the Spurs still need help at power forward, but their history in free agency is that they don’t really go for it, as they tend to try to develop players internally. Tarris Reed is more of a center than a power forward, but he might end up doing some twin towers work with Wemby this season, as Victor slides to the forward position. John Collins is interesting, and he’d be a good addition, but it all depends on how much it costs to obtain him.
Douglas: San Antonio can offer roughly $15M and up to four years with the non-taxpayer MLE. They can also trade for a player into that slot. John Collins and Rui Hachimura are the names I’ve seen mentioned most frequently. Collins would provide some vertical spacing as a lob threat and has shot around 40% from three on about three attempts per game over the last two seasons. He’s probably the best fit, but still comes with questions. Can he hold down the paint and guard the perimeter while Wembanyama roams defensively? He isn’t the greatest rebounder either (11.4% rebound rate).
I’d stay away from Hachimura, who would be duplicative with Julian Champagnie. Yes, Hachimura hit 44.3% of his three-pointers, but those looks are typically stand-still catch-and-shoot jumpers, like the ones Champagnie gets. He’s a worse rebounder (only a 6.9% rebound rate) and a worse defender. San Antonio needs a four who can play inside and out, and can do some of the dirty work for Wembanyama inside. Hachimura is not a fit in that regard.
May I present a third door? Are we sure the Spurs want to commit 15M a year to a role player when they have looming contract extensions for Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper? What if they went have someone a little cheaper instead? San Antonio had reported interest in Guerschon Yabusele last offseason. He got back on track in a bigger role with the Chicago Bulls late last year. He’d provide the same level of rebounding as Collins while shooting 38% from three (with the Bulls). He’d be a cheaper option who could do a lot of the things San Antonio needs from a power forward.
Gomez: Rumors about Aaron Gordon being potentially available have me wanting the Spurs to take a big swing, but after getting to the Finals, it’s unlikely they will do anything drastic. I’d settle for them getting Hachimura, Tobias Harris, or Collins, and I’ll add Precious Achiuwa to the list of desirable targets. Achiuwa is not a shooter, but he’s a big forward who can also play as a small ball center in a pinch thanks to his rebounding, and he brought energy to a Kings team that severely lacked it last season. He could do the same for a Spurs team that might get complacent now that it knows it’s elite and will have a target on its back.
If they decide to go for cheaper targets, Kenrich Williams could be interesting. He has playoff experience, can shoot a little, and doesn’t shy away from physicality.
There have been a few high-profile players who seem to be available via trade. Do you think the Spurs should go hard after any of them?
Dubinski: I don’t think so. Jalen Brown is both too combustible and expensive (plus, it seems he wants to be first fiddle, and that’s even less likely here than Boston), and someone like Ja Morant is not a position of need and a hard pass for the Spurs’ system and culture. Plus, any trades for major players would likely require De’Aaron Fox for salary purposes; the Spurs have made it clear they have no intention of trading him, and as Jesus pointed out, it wouldn’t be a good look for them at this juncture. (And for the record, I’m not on the trade Fox bandwagon. I think the results would have been different if his ankle had been healthy. Blame Ayo Dosunmo.)
Barrington: I honestly can’t believe the deal that Minnesota gave up for Julius Randle. He is still a useful player, but they basically swapped the 28th pick for the 33rd to dump Randle’s salary, just so they could overpay Ayo Dosunmo. If the Spurs can find another team having a fire sale on good players because they’re churning the roster, maybe they can take advantage of another team’s cap problems, as they have a pretty decent situation for the next year or two before things start to explode with Wemby and Castle getting their second contracts and Fox’s max kicking in. I just don’t see it happening, but I expect that Brian Wright will be keeping an ear to the ground to listen for signs of other teams having salary cap-induced panic attacks.
OK .. OK. Welcome back to San Antonio, Kawhi Leonard! He’s going to be just fine. [Just kidding, although he looks as healthy as he has in years.]
Douglas: No, partly because I don’t think San Antonio has assets it should sacrifice to get one of them. Aaron Gordon or Leonard (gulp) would be the perfect fits with this team, but would likely require giving up De’Aaron Fox, Devin Vassell, and/or Keldon Johnson to get them. This offseason shouldn’t be about a major shakeup. It should be about adding pieces around the edges that can maximize a core that made it all the way to the NBA Finals in their first full season playing together. A trade for a star that requires a major sacrifice could either boost them into the stratosphere or kill all of the momentum from last season.
Gomez: The way the Spurs acted at the deadline last season, when they stood pat despite having big expiring contracts, suggests they are happy with their core, so I doubt they are seriously considering making a big move. It’s always good to do the due diligence and check what it would take to land an established star, and there are some exciting names that could make San Antonio better, but I just don’t see a big trade coming, for better or for worse.
