Many fans reacted to Charania's post.

@KnicksMemes: "INSANE way to start that tweet knowing the Spurs have the #2 pick"

@0x_Capital: "Next jokic going at 38 wow"

@StephenKHSui: "For the 4th consecutive drafts the Spurs have moved one of their picks for future draft capital. Not surprising at all"

Trevor Lane: "Low cost for a early 2nd round pick…"

The Spurs finished the 2024-25 season as the 13th seed in the Western Conference with a 34-48 record.

They last made the NBA playoffs during the 2019 season.

The #Pacers are trading their 2030 second-round pick (originally the #Kings’ pick) and cash to the #Spurs for this year’s No. 38 pick, league sources confirm to @TheAthleticNBA.

Indiana now has the Nos. 38 and 54 picks.@ShamsCharania first on deal. @TonyREast first on details.
