Did the Spurs lose out on the 2003 NBA draft while attempting to clear space for Jason Kidd?

Welcome to the daily Thread. During the month of June, we are talking NBA Draft. As we lead up to the 2018 NBA Draft on June 21st, we will be revisiting the Spurs draft choices. Today we remember 2003.

So there are a lot of mechanics to the draft when the addition of trading is involved. The 2003 season ended with the Spurs defeating the New Jersey Nets in the NBA Finals and then courting future Hall of Famer Jason Kidd. The very fabric of the Spurs dynasty could have been altered had Kidd signed.
