From the "I don't fricking believe how much of an expletive R.C. Buford and/or Gregg Popovich is" files, via ESPN.com's Chad Ford:The Spurs sent an e-mail to every team in the league at 3:30 p.m. saying that they were willing to move the 26th pick. The e-mail asked league executives to "E-mail us your interest and your offers to 26."This nugget could not exemplify both the incredible confidence and the irrefutable cockiness possessed by the Spurs front office. Knowing you run laps around most of the league, how large must your testicles be to slap a "YOUNG WING OR BEST OFFER" tag on your damn draft pick?
This is already one of the most magnificently explosive draft days in history. Good to know the Spurs could contribute something.
(Meanwhile, what happened to all those rumors the Spurs and Cavaliers had conspired to refuse to allow any other team to see Nicolas Batum's medical reports, in the hopes San Antonio could snatch him away with #26? Is Cleveland going to take him at #19 now? What kind of odds can I get on Sam Presti getting a sweetheart retribution deal for #26? I HAVE DRAFT FEVER, AND THE ONLY CURE IS MORE ADAM SILVER!

Spurs still want Batum at #26. E-mail was a "Batum's health didn't check out" ruse, IMO.
