NO "super star big ego" draft. Wemby is the leader, he doesn't need a player with an ego 10 times bigger his talent. This team needs a young humble talented player or nobody at all.
@@trashtalknbaThe best fit would be an offensive superstar who can score and pass at a high level, and if he’s a pg i don’t care if he’s a defensive liability but if it’s a wing or PF he has to be at least average because Cp3 and Tre Jones are bad defenders at this point. So the ideal pg would be Doncic, 1st because Wemby doesn’t have good stamina so a guy who can control the pace of a game and almost always have his team play at one of the slowest pace in the league would be perfect, and because Wemby is the best off ball big in the league he doesn’t need the ball to dominate, he can screen and roll, he’s the best lob treat/vertical spacer in the league and he can also pop for a 3 or midrange shot while Doncic is the best pick and roll ball handler in the league .. And because of his lob treat, shooting ability and size Wemby already has the strongest gravity in the league, so Luka will have all the space to penetrate into the defense for a lay up, a floater, a midrange shot or a lob for Wemby, and Luka is also a big body, 6’7 240~pounds, he can set screen for Wemby and play inverted pick and roll, and because Wemby can pass over the defense and Luka can finish in the paint in so many ways it would be impossible to stop them … So offensively it’s a perfect fit, and defensively Wemby will be there to clean Doncic mistakes, so that’s a perfect fit. But basically any superstar would fit next to Wemby, he’s like KAT with AD’s defense and Porzingis size, or a 7’4 KD, and these 4 players score extremely well in portability (Ability to fit with any players), he’s like Jokic you could put Westbrook (a non shooter and floor spacer who struggle to make lay up) on his team and he would look better than in his last 3-4 seasons. So among the stars who are actually available, i think Fox would probably be the best fit and he’s just 27, just imagine all the transition opportunities he would get with Wemby’s blocks/Steals and rim deterrence, 90% of the time Wemby block a shot he keep the ball inbound or better, he keep the possession of the ball, and Fox is an elite slasher/rim finisher who can penetrate into the defenses easily with his speed, and a good passer so he could get easy opportunities for Wemby around the freethrow line, just like Maxey with Embiid and because he is an elite freethrow shooter like Embiid he will also be an elite midrange shooter. Or Trae Young, it would be a similar fit as the one with Doncic, i think they should have made that trade this summer when he was available and his price was low. Or Markannen, a 7ft athletic MPJ, he would be perfect as a PF or SF next to Wemby, and he’s also 27 and his price isn’t that high, i rather have him than Cam Johnson Lebron would also be insane with Wemby, but he’s too old and want to finish his career in LA, same for Curry, Giannis, AD, SGA, Ja, Haliburton, Brunson, Garland, Mitchell, Bam, Draymond, Mobley, KD, Ingram .. He literally fit with every players .. I just hope the SUNS, Warriors, Pelicans, Kings, Jazz, Hawks or Sixers implode and start a rebuild, and for Zion, he would also be the perfect fit next to Wemby but he’s 24 already injury prone and lazy, and i don’t think it would change with the Spurs but if he was the 27ppg on 61%fg version of Zion then the league would be in trouble they are basically the 2 most freakish athlete with Giannis
I’ve been a spurs fan since 95 we just don’t make mid season trades I want them to but they never do sure we have a new GM but R.C Buford is still in the front office as CEO and Pop is still the coach and president of the team those 2 alone are the reason the dynasty even happened so all I’m saying is it would be a pleasant surprise if they did make a big move before the deadline I really hope your right
Spurs haven't traded FOR someone, mid season, in ages, if ever. The same front office regime is in place, effectively, for the past 30 years. For any other team, a midseason addition is possible. For the Spurs, i wouldn't hold my breath, until it's time to manage roster space during the summer.
@@rongiefaustino8867 oh right, my bad, I misread that, I thought we were talking about the original acquisition of Richard Jefferson. That Jefferson for Jax trade was only partly about acquiring Jackson. Just dumping rjeffs contract to anyone who would take him was half the reason, heh.
I'm sure that there will be a lot of vets that will chase a ring by joining Wemby. He's a really down to earth superstar to play with, and with experience every vet should think "if he was on my team it would be so easy". I'm sure he will create a dynasty wherever he goes.
@@astromigui not to mention ' if we're on the same team, he won't be blocking the sh*t out of my shots and making me look like a fool in highlights ' 😂
@@dropthehammer1360 He will win at least one ring in SA before leaving. But if he does win one, he won't wait there if the team is not good enough to play for the title and will go somewhere he can.
It doesn't exist. Only thing they can have as a back up is a center that can hold the team defensively, but that's very expensive in itself and you don't get half of what he provides on the offensive side. Only clear candidate I have in mind would be Miles Turner but arguably every team is after him every year
@@trashtalknbaI love Wemby and although top 5 the best players in NBA are still Jokic maybe Gianni’s , Shai.. Wemby no where near his prime and spurs competitive now , why would he get frustrated?
Joker is the present, but Wemby is the future. All he needs to do is listen to Pops and not get hurt. I predict he makes a serious run next year and wins a ring by 2028, maybe even in '26.
We are witnessing the new version of Wilt Chamberlain in the making but better. This guys coordination is insane. He owns the paint and has a great shot. He is definitely an Alien 👽
Bro... the music... you got me excited. I am not a huge fan of butlers antics, but butler would be an amazing fit. Wemby, sochan, butler, vassel, castle could hold any team to 90 pts.
@gengee21 good thing it would be a .5 to 1.5 year rental. Of all the options, butler raises our ceiling to competitive in my opinion. All of these guys are divas nowadays, at least butler has legitimate skills on both sides of the ball.
As a Spurs fan- Wemby, CP3, and Castle are EXACTLY what we need right now! We’ve BEEN in a rebuild , ever since we lost playoff contention for the first time in Spurs modern history back in 2019-20 season. So yeah, the Spurs are coming back!!
They already did it. They convinced the Sacramento Kings to fire Mike Brown so the Spurs could bring him back to the team that helped him become one of the best coaches in the league. And welcome, ain't the Kool-Aid delicious?
Never have seen a dude that big being so agile....what can't Wemby do....never has a big man like that shoot 3 pts ...at his heigth he's doing things like a guard forward center all of it....Kareem Abdul Jabbar only made one 3 pt in his whole career....if he doesn't get hurt we're gonna see the impossible....vive la France....he's made us proud
Two things can be true. Yes, Victor W is incredible and is a freak talent in the NBA who is putting up crazy numbers. Also true: Vic makes a ton of mistakes and is really raw. He turns the ball over ALOT. He shoots way too many threes and even though he is the tallest guy on the court, he often gets bullied because he is still too skinny and young so he prefers to just launch awful 3s. He has no inside game despite his height. In the playoffs, when you just need a consistent offense the gets you a bucket, Vic would be awful. He would just dribble and turn the ball over or shoot a god awful 3. He knows when he sucks. But I have faith that he will develop into a beast. He and the Spurs are a work in progress.
Wemby is completely on board with the Spurs plan. It would not have mattered which team drafted him. Any team, to be in the NBA draft lottery had to be pretty bad, meaning its roster was not ready to propel a potential superstar into championship contention in the first few years. You don't drop that low unless you're pretty bad, although the Spurs tanked with all of their might. The Spurs are right on track. They will not do anything foolish. They know how to surround a superstar with sufficient talent and complementary players to win multiple championships and they will do it again with Wemby! In this regard, Spurs fans are more impatient than Wemby is! Go Spurs go!
@ your Wemby glasses must be deceiving you, castle and Vassell and Sochan are the best pieces around Wemby and fit his play style very well. Castle needs more time to develope but next year I see a big leap and already do so much on both side of the ball. Castle is a two way beast, rookie guards always have bad percentage splits and he’s playing behind one of the best PG all time, next year your eyes will open if you pay attention. Vassell averaged 20, 4, 4 on 47% FG 80% FT 37% from three and majorly improved his defense all at age 23. He’s also coming back from injury this year and just got reintroduced to the starting lineup. Even if he is a “role player”. He’s a very good one and if you’re talking about spurs future, he’s involved in that discussion where you like him or not.
While I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the content of this video, there's a bunch of misinformation in here from a Spurs standpoint as someone who really keeps a pulse on Spurs news, especially from their insiders like LJ Ellis, Ty Jaeger, Jordan Howenstine, Tom Petrini, Jeff McDonald, Don Harris, etc. The Spurs were never planning to go into the summer of 26-27 with 3 contracts -- they love Sochan and are definitely planning to sign him longterm and of course, the cap holds on their draft picks, of which they have many. While I agree there was some internal discussions on whether to flip HB, they actually never intended to flip CP3 because Pop really wanted Chris and Brian Wright and Co. extended him CP3 offer on Pop's behalf, never really expecting CP3 to say yes -- until he did, surprising not only the Spurs, but everyone in the NBA. Once CP3 committed, the plan is for him to be in SA the whole year; CP3 isn't leaving this year unless he asks out himself. Long as the Spurs are winning a reasonable amount of games, that's not going to happen. So while I agree with some of the premise of this video, the slow roll, they weren't going to making any big FA splashes; the idea was always to have flexibility to bring in a co-star salary if he actually became available, which is why they had their eye on Markkannen (and still do) if he ever decides to leave and most certainly have their eye on Fox, should he become genuinely available. We shall see.
yea yo kind of nailed it... front office would love to sell their veterans for as much assets as can get and hopefully have their own and Atlanta's pick in draft of 2025 AND then go for it, but difficult if sas keep winning. Any 1-14 draft pick is a shot at getting a top 4 pick. Chicago's pick won't get them there but may drop 10-12... Wonder what they could get for Paul, Barnes, Jones.... Keldon is probably too good as 6th man spark to trade him at this point... that leaves vw, sc, dv and js and jc as your core to keep.
Literally every good analyst and anyone who understands basketball knew he would be this good. It's about as surprising as Jokic and Shai battling for the MVP. The history of the league is that the guys this special are All-NBA players in year two.
Nice breakdown. I'd like to see spurs try and trade for tari eason, ausar thompson, or cam whitmore...they might not be available but they also dont look like a priority for their respective teams.
The bulls fire sale should be mentioned too. Some solid players there that don’t fit the bulls timeline anymore. Vucevic would be a solid back up stretch big, Lavine is back shooting out of his mind and Lonzo ball is coming back strong, though I wouldn’t trust his health status to stay in check. The spurs would have to give up picks though as that’s where the bulls are headed.
FACTS As they literally lost on purpose tonight by taking Wemby out in the 4th quarter when he had 23 in the first 3 and the spurs were leading by like 16 going in to the fourth just to lose by 4 Unfucking real.. clown shit
No one said he was a slow build he’s a generational talent and highest potential ever and can be the goat so what are you talking about no one seen this lol Chris Paul is the one actually making them win
Then why are -10 when CP plays without Wemby? Why are they worse with just CP than they are without either one? Why are the Tre/Wemby minutes just as good as the CP/Wemby minutes? Chris certainly helps stabilize them and provides structure for Victor on offense, but Wemby is the *ONLY* reason this isn't a 20 win team. He single-handedly turns them from a bottom 3 defense to a top 10 one and pairing him with a point guard -- either Tre or CP -- makes them a top 5 offense.
I luv it, I’m a life long fan and I’m hoping we sign fox and maybe get back Jakob Poeltl. Looking forward for another dynasty and more river parades. GSG
Oh sure let's trade for fox when we just drafted steph castle and have Chris Paul as his mentor make it make sense I wouldn't mine trading collins for Kessler though
For everyone saying the spurs need to make trades i think youre morons dynasties are built by players playing, learning, and growing chemistry together not bs midseason trades with players not on the same timeline
Some of the dumbest analysis I’ve heard in a long time. Most of the league’s teams have horrible front offices. He’s actually quite lucky to land in SA. They have the same mindset as Wemby not flashy, no ego. It’s perfect! Not a single #1 draft pick has turned their franchise around in the first year of their career in recent seasons. Not only that but LeBron and MJ didn’t even do it. MJ and LeBron lost a lot before they won.
The spurs needs someone who can hold it down when wemby goes to the bench Every single time he does the lose their lead or the opposing lead gets wider
The spurs will get top 3 pick with less than 1%. They'll go 10th on play-in to have an American co-star. The NBA will cook this for the Spurs. If this doesn't happen, expect a trade request for either Paolo or ANT (probably ant as it looks like Timberwolves are at shambles).
@trashtalknba wemby is developing outside. Just imagine him being a 3&D is scary. I lean more on a banchero trade but we all know ANT is more marketable.
@@dropthehammer1360 Neither of us have personally weighed him, but the team listed Wemby at 210 last season and 235 this season. Personally I think 210 was a lie and he weighed more last season, but even ten or fifteen pounds of muscle makes a difference.
@@tribalypredisposed Full quote, translated from French: Q: Just on the subject of your weight/muscle gains, you spoke I think of 10-11kg (22-25lbs) in 12 months... Wemby: No, no, no. Not at all. That's a fake news. 10 kg (22lbs) in 12 months, that's impossible without getting injured. What was my weight when arriving in the NBA exactly? Q: Your precise weight is 106kg (~235lbs) [now], and -11kg (i.e. 95kg or ~210lbs) [when arriving in the NBA]. Wemby: When I arrived in the NBA? Impossible. The 95kgs (210lbs), I weighted that at ASVEL (2021-22). The highest weight I had at ASVEL must have been 94kg (207lbs). [We try to aim] between 1 and 5% per 12 months. Q: How do you work [on your weight training] in a way that doesn't negatively impact your mobility, playstyle, or shooting? Wemby: So you kinda already have the answer, but I don't struggle to gain weight. During the summer with time to work, it's possible that I gain too much weight. So it's a lot of physical training, but here, it's not at all our style to work with exercises that simply put weight on the body without also working on mobility. It's rather simply developing in an organic/natural way.
@@hassonbutler1100 chill, I was exaggerating. And I don’t think Edwards would be a good fit. Yes he’s extremely talented but he is equally as immature.
i think your are crasy wemby need to be more regular like Doncic to be an excellent ailien but these trade are interesting for the spurs we cannot deny it.
Butler, Zion, Randle... you've never actually watched a Spurs game, have you? Selfish, whiny, undisciplined, those three are about the least "Spursy" players in the NBA.
Trade for de’Aaron Fox. If you could get Johnson maybe him too. But I would like them to keep a lot of their picks so if that would take a ton of picks just get Fox.
Get Jimmy Buckets and call it a day. They need a wing upgrade. The spurs will be instant contenders. A healthy playoff jimmy is an MVP caliber player easy. But you cant disregard CP3’s impact man. Thats straight up disrespect to the point god. CP3 is like a bigman’s cocaine.
Sorry, I don't know who would have thought the Spurs were going to get the 1st pick (unless Atlanta tanked). Vassell, CP, Barnes, and KJ is not a bottom of the barrel team.
Dude your hot takes are too much wtf they would take Randle? Did you check his games lately his incosistency in both Minnesota and New York... His stock is taking a dive...
with all the french players you have actually in the nba be carefull for your 2028 olympics in LA france may be able to have his revenge on the usa in the final
Kessler or Poetl as a backup center would fit in nice, I’d give up Collins and Branham and a pick or two. D’aron Fox would make sense but I don’t know what a player of his caliber would fetch on the market Or adding Vucevic to our starting line up could add a level of versatility to our team
I love how everyone’s first pick to trade away is Collins. I hate it when he checks in. 0 defense and jack up 3’s that clank off the side of the backboard
Spurs need to move on from Pop, it’s so clear in his absence that the Spurs are capable of so much more. All of Pop’s restrictive minutes on Wemby would/will eventually make Wemby want to leave. Let the mustang run!!
I live in SA and popivich needs to go if he was coaching we would have a hell of a lot more loses this coach is doing a good job and should stay pop needs to retire already
NO "super star big ego" draft. Wemby is the leader, he doesn't need a player with an ego 10 times bigger his talent. This team needs a young humble talented player or nobody at all.

So while I agree with some of the premise of this video, the slow roll, they weren't going to making any big FA splashes; the idea was always to have flexibility to bring in a co-star salary if he actually became available, which is why they had their eye on Markkannen (and still do) if he ever decides to leave and most certainly have their eye on Fox, should he become genuinely available. We shall see.
Great context! We make videos on every team/player so it’s always cool to hear an insiders perspective
Domantas Sabonis from the Kings!
yea yo kind of nailed it... front office would love to sell their veterans for as much assets as can get and hopefully have their own and Atlanta's pick in draft of 2025 AND then go for it, but difficult if sas keep winning. Any 1-14 draft pick is a shot at getting a top 4 pick. Chicago's pick won't get them there but may drop 10-12... Wonder what they could get for Paul, Barnes, Jones.... Keldon is probably too good as 6th man spark to trade him at this point... that leaves vw, sc, dv and js and jc as your core to keep.
Literally every good analyst and anyone who understands basketball knew he would be this good. It's about as surprising as Jokic and Shai battling for the MVP.
The history of the league is that the guys this special are All-NBA players in year two.
Find me a clip saying he would be the best player in league by year 2 please. Would love to give them credit.
Nice breakdown. I'd like to see spurs try and trade for tari eason, ausar thompson, or cam whitmore...they might not be available but they also dont look like a priority for their respective teams.
The bulls fire sale should be mentioned too. Some solid players there that don’t fit the bulls timeline anymore. Vucevic would be a solid back up stretch big, Lavine is back shooting out of his mind and Lonzo ball is coming back strong, though I wouldn’t trust his health status to stay in check. The spurs would have to give up picks though as that’s where the bulls are headed.
i see buy out market very active for the spurs but no midseason trade
FACTS As they literally lost on purpose tonight by taking Wemby out in the 4th quarter when he had 23 in the first 3 and the spurs were leading by like 16 going in to the fourth just to lose by 4 Unfucking real.. clown shit
No one said he was a slow build he’s a generational talent and highest potential ever and can be the goat so what are you talking about no one seen this lol Chris Paul is the one actually making them win
Then why are -10 when CP plays without Wemby? Why are they worse with just CP than they are without either one? Why are the Tre/Wemby minutes just as good as the CP/Wemby minutes?
Chris certainly helps stabilize them and provides structure for Victor on offense, but Wemby is the *ONLY* reason this isn't a 20 win team. He single-handedly turns them from a bottom 3 defense to a top 10 one and pairing him with a point guard -- either Tre or CP -- makes them a top 5 offense.
Best video of the year
I luv it, I’m a life long fan and I’m hoping we sign fox and maybe get back Jakob Poeltl. Looking forward for another dynasty and more river parades. GSG
We need a backup for Wemby. I'd trade Zach Collins to reunite with Jakob Poeltl.
Imagine trading Vassell, Collins and Wesley and a few draft picks for Kessler and Fox. Once that happens it is over for the West.
Oh sure let's trade for fox when we just drafted steph castle and have Chris Paul as his mentor make it make sense I wouldn't mine trading collins for Kessler though
@@khalilray2755 plus Fox is a coach killer
For everyone saying the spurs need to make trades i think youre morons dynasties are built by players playing, learning, and growing chemistry together not bs midseason trades with players not on the same timeline
Some of the dumbest analysis I’ve heard in a long time. Most of the league’s teams have horrible front offices. He’s actually quite lucky to land in SA. They have the same mindset as Wemby not flashy, no ego. It’s perfect! Not a single #1 draft pick has turned their franchise around in the first year of their career in recent seasons. Not only that but LeBron and MJ didn’t even do it. MJ and LeBron lost a lot before they won.
Its his second season. How long does this logic go? 3? 4? Its a personal preference how long a player can stomach losing
They need the boy from the warriors the African dude .he coming from the bench but his their next best player
The spurs needs someone who can hold it down when wemby goes to the bench
Every single time he does the lose their lead or the opposing lead gets wider
Why?
Them losing when he's on the bench is the point. Ideally they miss the playoffs, get a lottery pick and get lucky in the draft.
@@michaelahurt we talking about them NOT tanking and trying to compete for at least a play in position
@ why would anyone want that? That’s stupid
Take the lottery pick. Play the long game. Don’t rush it.
The spurs will get top 3 pick with less than 1%. They'll go 10th on play-in to have an American co-star. The NBA will cook this for the Spurs. If this doesn't happen, expect a trade request for either Paolo or ANT (probably ant as it looks like Timberwolves are at shambles).
Ant isn’t the right fit for Wemby. He still has young kobe energy and needs to learn the pass button
@trashtalknba wemby is developing outside. Just imagine him being a 3&D is scary. I lean more on a banchero trade but we all know ANT is more marketable.
The best since M. J. hands down
Pick3d Spurs to finish 6th preseason because Wemby added 25lbs and the man passionately hates losing.
The man wins
He did not gain 25 pounds. I believe it was around 10 or so.
@@dropthehammer1360 Neither of us have personally weighed him, but the team listed Wemby at 210 last season and 235 this season. Personally I think 210 was a lie and he weighed more last season, but even ten or fifteen pounds of muscle makes a difference.
@@tribalypredisposed Full quote, translated from French:
Q: Just on the subject of your weight/muscle gains, you spoke I think of 10-11kg (22-25lbs) in 12 months...
Wemby: No, no, no. Not at all. That's a fake news. 10 kg (22lbs) in 12 months, that's impossible without getting injured. What was my weight when arriving in the NBA exactly?
Q: Your precise weight is 106kg (~235lbs) [now], and -11kg (i.e. 95kg or ~210lbs) [when arriving in the NBA].
Wemby: When I arrived in the NBA? Impossible. The 95kgs (210lbs), I weighted that at ASVEL (2021-22). The highest weight I had at ASVEL must have been 94kg (207lbs). [We try to aim] between 1 and 5% per 12 months.
Q: How do you work [on your weight training] in a way that doesn't negatively impact your mobility, playstyle, or shooting?
Wemby: So you kinda already have the answer, but I don't struggle to gain weight. During the summer with time to work, it's possible that I gain too much weight. So it's a lot of physical training, but here, it's not at all our style to work with exercises that simply put weight on the body without also working on mobility. It's rather simply developing in an organic/natural way.
Who do you want to see added to the spurs?
Yabusele .... free this summer he has basket iq and shoots threes and he s a unit 6.8 feeth 265 pounds would not cost much than collins
D Fox
Castle/D booker
Zion/Edwards
Sochan
Wemby
@@hassonbutler1100 Zion would gain a hundred more pounds if he ended up in Texas. (Anthony) Edwards??
@ 😂😂😂 chill not 100 pounds and yes Anthony Edwards I rather him over Zion but either would do
@@hassonbutler1100 chill, I was exaggerating. And I don’t think Edwards would be a good fit. Yes he’s extremely talented but he is equally as immature.
Now if he leaves us imma blame you
Ingram and wemby would be nasty broo. I sweat. Fuck the tank. We need to win nowww!!!
Just get rid of Collins for a big with some second round draft picks
i think your are crasy wemby need to be more regular like Doncic to be an excellent ailien but these trade are interesting for the spurs we cannot deny it.
To be fair Wemby is french and will probably stay with them thill he gets a championchip
Ate the french famous for loyalty? I remember boris diaw quitting on a team
Butler, Zion, Randle... you've never actually watched a Spurs game, have you? Selfish, whiny, undisciplined, those three are about the least "Spursy" players in the NBA.
Trade for de’Aaron Fox. If you could get Johnson maybe him too. But I would like them to keep a lot of their picks so if that would take a ton of picks just get Fox.
25k coming my way if they won title. Bet this summer. Saw this coming. Bout to double down. Will hedge in playoffs
Or just sign Fox as a free agent and keep the picks. They aren't winning a title this year. There's no rush.
Jesus what a cringe script... saying "no homo" in 2025 like a senior citizen.
I am a senior citizen and it was sarcasm.
No more fantasy content? where is jake?
Get Jimmy Buckets and call it a day. They need a wing upgrade. The spurs will be instant contenders. A healthy playoff jimmy is an MVP caliber player easy.
But you cant disregard CP3’s impact man. Thats straight up disrespect to the point god. CP3 is like a bigman’s cocaine.
Sorry, I don't know who would have thought the Spurs were going to get the 1st pick (unless Atlanta tanked). Vassell, CP, Barnes, and KJ is not a bottom of the barrel team.
Dude your hot takes are too much wtf they would take Randle? Did you check his games lately his incosistency in both Minnesota and New York... His stock is taking a dive...
Randle is cheap to acquire and is a physical counterpart to wemby’s finesse game. He would instantly be the second best player in team
with all the french players you have actually in the nba be carefull for your 2028 olympics in LA france may be able to have his revenge on the usa in the final
AlienYama 👽
Kessler or Poetl as a backup center would fit in nice, I’d give up Collins and Branham and a pick or two.
D’aron Fox would make sense but I don’t know what a player of his caliber would fetch on the market
Or adding Vucevic to our starting line up could add a level of versatility to our team
Rundle, kuz. Hard noooooooooo!!!
I respect it
Do you live in SA? Do you know the Spurs? they have the youth.... and now got trade bait... STHU
Texas yes. Ive watched about 12 full spurs games this year
sooo jimmy butler gonna join the spurs?
No idea.
I love how everyone’s first pick to trade away is Collins. I hate it when he checks in. 0 defense and jack up 3’s that clank off the side of the backboard
It’s an obvious place to upgrade
other teams will take all draft picks and every telented young players spurs have for only one all-star player so not going to happen.
You are tripping. Spurs will not be champions this season.
2026 ;)
4:44 👀
Spurs need to move on from Pop, it’s so clear in his absence that the Spurs are capable of so much more. All of Pop’s restrictive minutes on Wemby would/will eventually make Wemby want to leave. Let the mustang run!!
Bruh haha your comment is like: tell me that you are a Lakers fan without saying it
@ 🙄 no dude, it’s called progress. Time to move onward
Move on from the best coach in nba history who just got a potential goat dropped into his lap? Interesting
@ uhhh yeah. Look at Wemby’s stats and the team’s record from last year…and now look at this year without Pop. It’s not that hard.
@@tillis31 right sophmore players never naturally get better. And the Spurs roster last season is way different than this one.
Shitty commentary
1:05-1:09 SAVE OF THE CENTURY
Never slacking
I live in SA and popivich needs to go if he was coaching we would have a hell of a lot more loses this coach is doing a good job and should stay pop needs to retire already
Bro Pop has earned a statue, he is the best mentor for Wemby you could have
