Spurs agree.
Gives me a more natural PF. Better defender & rebounder from that position than Nesterovic.

Wow. Raps, you might be disappointed with that pick next year, because the Spurs are looking pretty damn good right now...

No offense to the Spurs, but I can't really see them finishing any better than 5th last next year.
I know that my team is not going to compete for a Championship this year, so I really have to start to build for the future.
Cato and Rasho will share time at PF, and I will look to trade Cato for an expiring contract either at the deadline or next.
I plan on having Yao, Deng, a high lotto pick (with the Spurs pick next year), Lovelette and possibly Springs under contract next season....with about 13 million in cap space in the biggest FA class ever in SSBA.
The Spurs pick will likely help me to land a starting PG to replace Baron. Then I will have a starting SG, starting PG, starting SF and starting C with 13 mil to spend on a PF...the same year KG, Odom, Brand, Chandler, Wallace, Brown, Griffin, Ferry and Houbergs are FAs.

Thomas/Mihm is an average, if not slightly below average frontcourt...Chase Russell is good offensivly but weak defensivly...same with Parker. I don't expect the Spurs pick to be number 1 like it was last year, but at least top 7-8.

Oh, nevermind then, still I would trade the Hawks pick then Spurs. Mostly likely in the lotto since Warriors and Sonics improved as well as other west teams.

IMO a definite step back for the Raptors, which I like. And Spurs can now experiment and see who they like at pf and who at center. Wouldn't expect that pick to be higher than 8, and I doubt you replace Mihm at 8.
Key to the spurs season, IMO, is if russell improves. If his defense improves, a lineup of mihm/thomas/russell/arenas/parker could contend for the playoffs.

Mihm is a C+/A-/A- 4. Those are hardly irreplaceable. The dropoff between Mihm and Cato is marginal at most in my opinion.
I don't think this is much of a step back for the Raptors. I could also see the Spurs pick being Top 5 (the offense is still not there). Even the 8th pick this year was Schmaltz, which would be a suitable replacement for Mihm this season.
