Chuck is 100% correct here. Spurs aren't gonna blow everything they got this off season to try to win now. The better option is to be patient and slowly build, by the 3rd off season i predict thats when they'll make a huge move and have a team that can seriously compete. Also, Kenny is such a tool. Wemby is getting double and triple teamed like no other rookie has since Shaq and hes putting up historic numbers. I'd love to see how Chet would perform in those circumstances and not be in a system that has opposing defenses have to worry about J-Dub and MVP caliber Shai well before they have to worry about Chet. He would'nt be putting up better numbers than Wemby thats for damn sure
disagree. wemby is so special u need to compete with him quickly. if a "young" costar player is available (trae young) u get him asap. waiting around is how u end up like the mavs and cavs. u capitalize on ur assets before wemby gets his first big contract and before ur picks and younger guys start to lose value. wemby wants to win and keeping him in a losing environment for however long will hinder him. he'll be great no doubt but next season they cannot be a bottom 10 team edit: messing up early is hetter than messing up down the line. u have more room for error when wemby is still young trying to find that secondary player then when hes gotten his first contract and now u dont know if he'll stay
@@shosh5806 that's not true at all, I see people already forget that the Mavs tried to cash in early by trading for guys like Porzingis and Bertans early into Luka's career. Even now, the Mavs are good but you're not going to see anybody say the are championship favorites. That's what the Spurs are trying to avoid, tell me how the Spurs are going to acquire Trae Young. They're gonna have to give up a lot of draft picks and then they'll be stuck with just Trae and Wemby surrounded by not so great players. That's a solid team but that's not a contender at all! Trae will be making almost $50 mil a year and eventually Wemby will be making even more, that doesn't leave any flexibility to finish putting more talented pieces in place. Unless the Spurs can get Trae for super cheap, that's a horrible idea
@@shosh5806 so the plan should be, build by drafting and or trading for better talent for now, nothing too crazy. Let Atlanta's 2025 pick convey and hopefully have a decent pick too that year. Draft more players, and fill out team needs via free agency. Then in the 2026 off season, after developing Wemby, Sochan, and other players acquired through the draft. Thats when they should go all in on an All star level talent, at the earliest at least. That way the Spurs can have multiple players who are young but have high upside, and still have a ton of draft assets and cap space to work with. You throw all of that away after just the first yr of Victor, theyd be dooming him and the team to be good but not great. And trust me, I'd rather them be bad/mediocre for the next few seasons than be stuck in purgatory where they are too bad to not compete, but too good to tank with no way out. Too many teams fall in that trap and it'd suck to see the Spurs follow suit
Imagine wemby playing with mvp harden or steph. That's what chet is right now. He is wide open on the court because the double teams are on the superstar and if they lose the blame is not on him but on shai.
gonna agree with Chuck here. From the SA owner to Wemby, they're prepared to not skip steps, they want to dominate the league again and not just a one time thing
Wtf is Kenny even saying implying it’s easy for Vic to get numbers because his team is bad and it’s “harder” for Chet? Wemby was on a minutes restriction almost the entire year and sees triple teams every single night his teammates usually can’t even get him easy looks. He can’t even pronounce the rest of the spurs players names right, either do enough research to give a valid take or shut tf up 💀
So it’s harder to hit open shots(Chet) than to score on double and triple teams (wemby), common man that’s a lie, yes Kenny’s right if he was comparing wemby and shai but he’s not he’s comparing the number one option who everyone is trying to stop because of his hype vs the 3rd option on a very good team.. it’s easier to be more efficient in Chet’s situation, although you still have to give Chet his credit for hitting those open shots it’s still easier to score for him
@@JeebyTube Chet not even the second best player on his team it is way harder when you’re the guy and everybody else knows you’re the guy and you still dominate don’t think for a second they are the same
The problem is that we probably gonna need to trade Vassell, Sochan, and maybe more just to get Trae. Vassell still got a potential for a breakout next season, Sochan is in his 2nd year. I rather wait and get the top picks and compete next season
Victor Wembanyama requires. PG - big point guard, who can playmake and play defense. Decent shooter. Cade Cunningham would be great. SG - Defensive minded shooting guard, Amen Thompson caliber player, long arms and decent shooter. SF - Glue forward, Trevor Ariza, type of player, no true flaws in fundamentals. And decent shooter. PF - Passing player, can make plays with Victor in low post, look for cuts and dives to the rim. Great fastbreak passer, and knockdown three-pointer shooter. Kevin Love or Frank Wagner, Alfred Sengun, maybe.
Vassell and sochan fill the SG and small forward spots, dev can get his on shot, hit open shots and if you watch sochan story you’d know why the spurs have so much confidence in him, plus if you watch every spurs game you’d see how much of a glue guy he is. They just need time to develop and learn how to play together, despite the spurs being one of the worst teams they’re still ranks amongst the best in assist which tells me they know how to move the ball they’re just missing a starting point guard and some good wing 3 and D guys, because other than Vassell and is osman Victor has no reliable shooters around him but the team has great upside
This guy is just as good as LeBron was ....in October, Chuck was saying "Wemby played against whom ? who knows what kind of competition they have in Europe...can he play here ? ETC ETC" Now suddenly, "Wemby was playing against pros in Europe and Lebron against high schoolers". These guys have a problem with a European becoming the face of the NBA.
Lebron's Cavs were in the freaking East. The East, then, doesn't come anywhere close to what the West is right now. Lebrons team now is far more talented than the teams he had with the Cavs and they are in 9th place.
@@ellen3871 my point is, they are comparing Lebron's 2003 team in the east to this Spurs team in a loaded West. The Pistons were the only good team and the cavs still only won 17 games
@@g5162 yeah also the east literally was the worst it’s ever been honestly, the Spurs would probably be a lot better if they played in the east actually, a lot of western teams would be a lot better in the east
How about not drafting another player of the same height, weight, position and playstyle. Draft someone that can compliment Wemby. F drafting the "best player." 76ers wasted 3 draft picks(consecutive years) on Centers. Warriors dynasty, spurs dynasty and bulls dynasty was built on proper balanced drafting and free agency moves.
These old heads are starting to hate on Wemby or what, how is Chet's situation harder than Wemby? He is playing in the youngest team in the league (22yo on avg), what do they except him to do lol... If Wemby was playing with SGA they would literally be favorites to win the chip
wemby next year will be even better, with how fast he is progressing month after month, just add one vet PG and draft Risacher who has had the same French league experience as Wemby to build French connection (nobody can understand the calls they will make). With the raptors pick, draft another PG to grow and voila les amis!
I think the Spurs have the potential to be really good quicker than what Chuck thinks. They have 2 high picks this draft, they can bring potentially 2 good players right away, more than probably at least 1 player who can contribute right away. If they manage to land at least a good free agent this summer, someone like Tobias Harris or Emmanuel Quickley, then Vasell is no longer the second option, you can have it as your third option and then things start to look a little bit different.
All he need is point guard that can give the ball .. wemby need a point guard like van vleet or schoedr who are competitive and not willing to score but but love to win a game..
Well, they could also, just draft a point guard it makes no sense to go get a veteran player right now. Honestly, it makes more sense to go get a veteran back up point guard. What the spurs are doing it looks like they’re investing more into their back ups. The guys that can teach them stuff because they have no point of using their cap space now.
Wemby loves the game more than any other player in the NBA..You can see it by the way he plays..Offensively and Defensively..Jordan skills with Kareem height..He looks like a ringer against the other players..
Even if the Spurs decide to splurge this summer, I don't think they know what they have in Wemby yet by virtue of Wemby's unbelievable versatility to understand how to build around him (except for PG, need a decent PG - doesn't have to be the end-game PG), plus he's so young and just turned 20 this Jan 2024.
Shaq saying they gotta build now is funny, considering the Magic won the lottery the year after he was drafted, and the Lakers got to draft Kobe his first year. He benefitted from the lottery building around him not once, but twice!
I’ve always find basketball a little bit boring to watch, but this player made me watch several full games! He is a great player and he makes BB entertaining
Other teams better start making plans and build a super team because in the next 3 to 4 years with all the draft picks, young talent plus PATFOs known ability to develop talent, cap space, and the ability they now have to attract other all stars in free agency. If we can find a true point guard that can develop a great relationship with Wemby theyre gonna be dangerous. Theyre good at the 4 and the 3. We need a damn PG
Kenny mispronounced vessel until someone else said it so I don't think he watches spurs games enough to understand Vic isn't Stat padding. Do chets stats have a greater impact? Yes because he is the 2nd or 3 option behind an mvp candidate. But Chuck is right. When you are the guy, the scouting report and emphasis is on you. Jordan Poole knows what that is like now.
I actually agree with Kenny. I don’t think team wins should factor into ROTY voting as much as it does for the other individual awards but the media has been talking out of both sides of their mouth on this. We can’t glorify the sacrifice of greats like K Love, Chris Bosh and Ray Allen in their commitment to winning a championship while also refusing to acknowledge Chet’s ability to get in where he fits in as a rookie on a very competitive team. His ability to find the amount of success he has within the confines of his role is outstanding.
Chuck is right. Shaq is acting like they're on the tail end of the rebuild but in reality it just started, Wemby was the first piece. Be patient, surround him with solid high character guys, and continue to build through the draft these next few years before going after a big name.
Charles is def right. It's a good thing they are losing, and that's how a rebuild works. When you are bad you get high draft picks and when you are good you get low draft picks. Odds are in losing team's favor to get better players to make things more competitive. You don't want go out right now & trade all your picks to bring in a star to go alongside Wemby. No. You keep losing, let Wemby progress and get more mature, pick up 2-3 more players from the draft, then after that 2nd-3rd year start looking to make trades and/or sign. Ideally, it would look something like Wemby this year, #4 pick next year, #8 pick the following year, #12 pick the next & then make your move. You got Wemby and 3 high draft picked players. Try to sign a good free agent. Trae Young has voiced he wants to come play with Wemby. He could be signed in 26 or '27. Think about it. 28yo Trae Young. Wemby. Hopefully two rookie starter role players with picks like 4 & 8. Then you go out and trade future picks for that player you need most. Could be a 3&D wing (a player like Herb Jones) if the need defense. Could be a player like Bojan Bogdanović (an aging veteran who will start and give you 20ppg as the 3rd option.) It would be a mistake to rush & trade for a 2nd star this offseason
Crazy how wemby has been better than most of us expected ik knew he’d be good but this is different. His haters can’t do anything but bring up the teams record even tho they are tanking and he plays restricted minutes.
He needs a player like Cj McCollum and keep tray jones,and shohan (for defence) and trade everyone else to create cap space for a superstar,maybe kyrie or trae young
That is way the Spurs are rebuilding give them time. When KD got drafted by Sonics they were last in the west until They got Harden at 2009-2010. OKC made the playoff.
Shaq said Sengun should go to a better team, and says Spurs need to move quickly and build around Wemby. Dumb as take. Houston is a much better team and Sengun can be their franchise guy, why he gotta leave 😂
Wait wait talking about okc what was their record last year? In other words they had a better squad then San Antonio and Chet just got there adding his talents to the ride. Spurs will be there don’t worry
I have what might be a hot take, and most will call it a stupid take (and I'm okay with that). Ben Simmons. Assuming his physical health, I think he'd fit perfectly with Wemby. He's a very good ball handler, an excellent passer, he can guard 1-5, SA would be the new Lob City, and you don't have to worry about him taking too many shots. Yes, Simmons has his problems, but now that he's fallen so far from his peak, I imagine his next contract will be incredibly team friendly. He only has one year left on his current deal, at $40M. Thats the last year of his 5-year, $177M deal, which will dwarf whatever his next contract turns out to be. That was a 35-40 million dollar per year deal, so I'd bet he will get maybe half of that in his next deal. I just think Simmons and Wemby running the floor together would very effective, and very entertaining. They would have the best interior defender that can hang with guards, and arguably the best perimeter defender who can hang with the bigs. Add to that they have the draft capital and cap space to make some serious trades as well. Just my opinion.
For vets they are missing the biggest point of all, the spurs are not like any other team. Pop is not like any other coach. A few good vets including and if tre Jones keeps developing 2 yrs the spurs will be in the play offs if not next year.
He isn’t he’s right. You can’t go straight into getting pieces and making moves thinking you’d get far in the playoffs. Take your time and build something strong.
The Spurs are doing the right thing, by taking their time it makes no sense to rush to go get free agents when your team is not competitive at all That is a perfect way to stay mid forever this team needs to draft for another two years and find players that fit Wembanyama game This team is gonna have a fuck ton of cap when they actually start competing so they can afford a max deal and probably some good bench pieces and will have the draft picks and ammunition to make a trade if need be
They’re the now?! Chuck is right. They haven’t done anything to say this is their time. Most of that thunder squad isn’t even fully developed. Only proven play is SGA and we haven’t even seen them in the playoffs The now are teams like the Bucks, the Nuggets, and the Celtics. Even the timberwolves who have a better record aren’t being called the now. Why? Cause they haven’t done anything to prove this is their window.
As great as Wemby has been there's still a chance he doesn't have a super long career. Spurs need to try and surround him with talent as quick as possible to take advantage of the time they'll have with him.
@@BryantBrothers-gm1qx My fault, forgot we can't be realistic in here. I knew Wemby was gonna be great three years ago. Him becoming injury prone is still a valid concern.

Other teams better start making plans and build a super team because in the next 3 to 4 years with all the draft picks, young talent plus PATFOs known ability to develop talent, cap space, and the ability they now have to attract other all stars in free agency. If we can find a true point guard that can develop a great relationship with Wemby theyre gonna be dangerous. Theyre good at the 4 and the 3. We need a damn PG
Kenny mispronounced vessel until someone else said it so I don't think he watches spurs games enough to understand Vic isn't Stat padding. Do chets stats have a greater impact? Yes because he is the 2nd or 3 option behind an mvp candidate. But Chuck is right. When you are the guy, the scouting report and emphasis is on you. Jordan Poole knows what that is like now.
I actually agree with Kenny. I don’t think team wins should factor into ROTY voting as much as it does for the other individual awards but the media has been talking out of both sides of their mouth on this. We can’t glorify the sacrifice of greats like K Love, Chris Bosh and Ray Allen in their commitment to winning a championship while also refusing to acknowledge Chet’s ability to get in where he fits in as a rookie on a very competitive team. His ability to find the amount of success he has within the confines of his role is outstanding.
Third most searched olayer behind lebron and curry. Wemby definitely the new face of the nba and future 🐐
Chuck is right. Shaq is acting like they're on the tail end of the rebuild but in reality it just started, Wemby was the first piece. Be patient, surround him with solid high character guys, and continue to build through the draft these next few years before going after a big name.
Take Nikola Topic in the draft!
if they do the game is over
Lack of shooting, pick risacher (defense and shooting) and trade for pg
@@alexcastvix8823dream scenario, Draft Risacher, trade for Trey and boom Spurs on the way up!
I thought Bol Bol is THE GUY 😂😂😂
The record means nothing.. he is playing 28.5 mins a game cause they are tanking guys.. LeBron was playing 39.5mins
how long until his knee injuries begin?? 🤔🧐
Charles is def right. It's a good thing they are losing, and that's how a rebuild works. When you are bad you get high draft picks and when you are good you get low draft picks. Odds are in losing team's favor to get better players to make things more competitive. You don't want go out right now & trade all your picks to bring in a star to go alongside Wemby. No. You keep losing, let Wemby progress and get more mature, pick up 2-3 more players from the draft, then after that 2nd-3rd year start looking to make trades and/or sign. Ideally, it would look something like Wemby this year, #4 pick next year, #8 pick the following year, #12 pick the next & then make your move. You got Wemby and 3 high draft picked players. Try to sign a good free agent. Trae Young has voiced he wants to come play with Wemby. He could be signed in 26 or '27. Think about it. 28yo Trae Young. Wemby. Hopefully two rookie starter role players with picks like 4 & 8. Then you go out and trade future picks for that player you need most. Could be a 3&D wing (a player like Herb Jones) if the need defense. Could be a player like Bojan Bogdanović (an aging veteran who will start and give you 20ppg as the 3rd option.)
It would be a mistake to rush & trade for a 2nd star this offseason
Crazy how wemby has been better than most of us expected ik knew he’d be good but this is different. His haters can’t do anything but bring up the teams record even tho they are tanking and he plays restricted minutes.
TRUST THE PROCESS, IF SPURS F-ITUP WEMBY IS GONE.... LOOK AT SPURS HISTORY ALL DYNASTIES BUILT THROUGH THE DRAFT POP EXPERT AT BUILDING DYNASTIES
when was the last time anyone has sad a team could build around a teen?
Wemby is a PROBLEM.... this kid is HIM
Chuck need his own podcast 😂
nice we can now go USA VS WORLD in the all star
This rebuild needs to be accelerated
No.
Ah yes, joundantay murray, dejounte Murray’s evil twin
God bless you guys
That’s not his hairline! Why didn’t Charles roast him!
Even Darko was the future is now
The “Eiffel Tower” will be one of the best in NBA history
Give wemby a pg(trae) and a big man(a jared allen type) get some pieces or even trade for a kumiga and we in there
Kenny it's Dejounte, not Jedonte...
Trae Young (Tre Jones), Vessel (?), Pick 2024 (?), Trade (Sochan), Wemby (Collins)
A good start for 2024
Nah we can't trade Sochan
@@OhsoCarolina I'm not saying we trade. But we need another PF
Zach collins is fucking horrible lol sochan is in his 2nd year and is only getting better Zach collins is in his 7th and regressing as a player
@@luigibru8677 Sochan only in his 2nd season by year 3 we'll have a good idea about him
I don't get why this is on bleacher report
Why did Kenny get his head painted red
He needs a player like Cj McCollum and keep tray jones,and shohan (for defence) and trade everyone else to create cap space for a superstar,maybe kyrie or trae young
Tre Jones is solid but he ain’t PG for playoffs and success Spurs are aiming for. They need elite PG
He has a passing skill, inconsistent shooting, not so good defense
That is way the Spurs are rebuilding give them time. When KD got drafted by Sonics they were last in the west until They got Harden at 2009-2010. OKC made the playoff.
Shaq said Sengun should go to a better team, and says Spurs need to move quickly and build around Wemby. Dumb as take. Houston is a much better team and Sengun can be their franchise guy, why he gotta leave 😂
Bol Bol can do the same! LOL
Wait wait talking about okc what was their record last year? In other words they had a better squad then San Antonio and Chet just got there adding his talents to the ride. Spurs will be there don’t worry
I have what might be a hot take, and most will call it a stupid take (and I'm okay with that). Ben Simmons. Assuming his physical health, I think he'd fit perfectly with Wemby. He's a very good ball handler, an excellent passer, he can guard 1-5, SA would be the new Lob City, and you don't have to worry about him taking too many shots. Yes, Simmons has his problems, but now that he's fallen so far from his peak, I imagine his next contract will be incredibly team friendly. He only has one year left on his current deal, at $40M. Thats the last year of his 5-year, $177M deal, which will dwarf whatever his next contract turns out to be. That was a 35-40 million dollar per year deal, so I'd bet he will get maybe half of that in his next deal. I just think Simmons and Wemby running the floor together would very effective, and very entertaining. They would have the best interior defender that can hang with guards, and arguably the best perimeter defender who can hang with the bigs. Add to that they have the draft capital and cap space to make some serious trades as well. Just my opinion.
Jedonta Murray 1:12
Were's Ernie?
For vets they are missing the biggest point of all, the spurs are not like any other team. Pop is not like any other coach. A few good vets including and if tre Jones keeps developing 2 yrs the spurs will be in the play offs if not next year.
I agree. Chet & wemby on national TV. These other NBA players scared of each other.
Maybe look at his defensive stats
We never seen Wemby before
imagine if the spurs draft bronny and now you bring in lebron and he can teach victor and his son.
Lebron and Melo came in to a veteran team. Wemby came in to a very young team.
Stop hating Chuck
He isn’t he’s right. You can’t go straight into getting pieces and making moves thinking you’d get far in the playoffs. Take your time and build something strong.
@@stevenmark4407spurs making playoffs next year 3 years is stretching it
Yes, LeBron is something else, first 3 seasons: 35-47, 42-40 and 50-32.
7 seasons with the CAVS without another All-Star caliber player.
harder for CHET?!? bruh cmon 💀
The Spurs are doing the right thing, by taking their time it makes no sense to rush to go get free agents when your team is not competitive at all That is a perfect way to stay mid forever this team needs to draft for another two years and find players that fit Wembanyama game This team is gonna have a fuck ton of cap when they actually start competing so they can afford a max deal and probably some good bench pieces and will have the draft picks and ammunition to make a trade if need be
Pop is losing on purpose. Tanking to build around his core. We all know this. The win tonight shows it.
Imagine if Detroit drafted melo instead of darko
Pop is tanking this season with a reason to pick Nikola Topić in this draft
It's sickening to read crap about any slow rebuilding for the Spurs. They will be wasting Wemby's career. Win now !! Losing is dumb
Wemby's rookie season numbers are easily better than LeBron's.
They’re the now?! Chuck is right. They haven’t done anything to say this is their time. Most of that thunder squad isn’t even fully developed. Only proven play is SGA and we haven’t even seen them in the playoffs
The now are teams like the Bucks, the Nuggets, and the Celtics. Even the timberwolves who have a better record aren’t being called the now. Why? Cause they haven’t done anything to prove this is their window.
Chuck's response should be : Big ol woman 😅
Imagine wemby with trae.
Sell the house for Brandon Ingram draft smart and bring in a HEALTHY lonzo ball type player and there top 4/5 seed next year
As great as Wemby has been there's still a chance he doesn't have a super long career. Spurs need to try and surround him with talent as quick as possible to take advantage of the time they'll have with him.
Always negativity from mr.casual fan u in here...y'all weird
@@BryantBrothers-gm1qx My fault, forgot we can't be realistic in here. I knew Wemby was gonna be great three years ago. Him becoming injury prone is still a valid concern.
that's why wemby have minute restriction to avoid injury to have long career
@@AfricanH3ro but your acting like that's a groundbreaking narrative for a big man...health is important for EVERYBODY...is it something to think about?of course but to bring it up Every TIME we talk about his future is ANNOYING
What happened to Ernie Johnson? I hope he's healthy and just missed one show...?
