If you're the instant gratification type, you might not be a happy San Antonio Spurs fan for the next year or two. If you're the patient type you should be ecstatic.
With their latest blockbuster deal of Dejounte Murray to the Atlanta Hawks, San Antonio added three more first-round picks, with two of them being unprotected. They also added a 2026 pick swap to their collection.
Now that Gregg Popovich's squad is facing a bottom-six finish in the NBA (and likely lower) this season, their rapid accumulation of picks will start paying off next offseason and beyond, and their drafting prowess will be put to the ultimate test throughout the 2020s.
