ESPN: Thunder and Spurs interested in Florida's Beal?

22

I found this interesting because while I was reading this, the Spurs were brought up. This is from part of the article: San Antonio, which doesn't pick until No. 59 in the second round, as well as Atlanta, which does have a first-round pick at No. 23, also made a number of calls to Donovan and Florida in the hope that each team could move up to land Beal. But the source said that the teams told Donovan it would have to be the "parting of the red sea," to pull off a move to get up to the top of three in the draft. "They gave (Donovan) the impression that they were trying to move up to get Brad," said the source.
