Wemby's first season is not a waste. Pop has allowrd him to acclimate to the NBA at his own pace, without coaching presdure. Wemby is learning the strengths and weaknesses of his game and familiarizing himself with teammates and opponents At the same time, Pop is evaluating which Spurs can work with Wemby and what positions need to be "fixed". The fear is that Wemby won't have the patience for a methodical rebuild and will bolt at the end of his rookie contract. It's clear that the FO and coaching staff aren't treating him like a mushroom. He's smart enough to know it won't happen overnight

Victor is not American, he will not want to go to a big market. According to him, the spurs are the best environment. And San Antonio's history with French players is also important. And also for them living in Texas is the best, they have all the necessary space to build their villas. And the people are all so nice in San Antonio. He will only leave San Antonio if the team never becomes competitive, but the Spurs have all the assets to build a competitive team in the future.

Spurs front office and Pop are putting Wembys health first. It’s not just about acclimatizing to the NBA but also his growth. He will be on a bulk program for the majority of the rest of his career and risk of injury is high in the beginning years, but when he’s 27, he will have everything he has now with the size of Giannis. The Spurs will have no worries of Wemby leaving. Hes going to be the franchise player and get anything he wants from a program that will always put him first.

Most people who speak poorly of San Antonio, haven't been there or haven't been there in a while. It's nicer than LA, New York, and Miami. It has everything that is good about those places and isn't covered in human excrement.

That depends a lot on how much pressure Wemby puts on the front office. If he buys the whole "trust the process" strategy, like Embiid in Philadelphia, then the Spurs have no reason to go all in next season. Besides, the Spurs don't exactly have real assets to trade, except for mayyybe Vassel and Sochan. And I'm guessing the Spurs wouldn't trade them easily. The Cavs went all in for LeBron when was just starting, and they didn't win shit. Hopefully Wemby can learn from that and be patient with the Spurs front office.

Do the media and just NBA fans not realize the Spurs are going to do what ever it takes to Keep Wemby in San Antonio. This will happen in the office season but it will take some time. Now that Wemby has shown everyone that he is NBA ready and more just for his 1st season there will be players wanting to play in San Antonio and create a dynasty. It just does not happen over night. GO SPURS GO!!!!

Really great points on the topic, however Wemby is a special case. In the history of the NBA, most 7foot bigmen peaked early and can decline earlier than any other players due to being prone to injury. I think the right moment to have aggressive trades is around Wemby's 3rd or 4th season.

I saw someone mention San Antonio drafting Nikola Topic to get their PG, and then trading for Markkanen. Having a young 6'6" PG, Vassell, Sochan, Markkanen and Wembanyama as your starting unit would be interesting.

@gabrielcarrasco9078

I wouldn't. To me Dillingham or Topic. Then trading for an Annonuby, Herb Jones, or Avidja would be better. Wemby just needs better supporting cast.

I wouldn’t accelerate the rebuild but I would be looking to add some older vets such as Chris Paul to help Tre Jones grow more in the point guard position without competing for the starting position. I would also add other vets with a lesser role to help the other young players grow.

Tbh let them be patient and build a good core around Wemby. Its disrespectful to ssy oh he mwy want to leave in his rookie season. Take the time to develop and get a core around you. Dallas should have been more patient get another 2 solid draft picks as opposed to going all in. If Toronto can slip in the lottery that gives them two top 10 guys say Topic and if possible Risachier. Id say wait till year 4 to accelerate. Gives time and patience for guys around wemby to grow with.

Do you trust him for his future draft picks 2024,2025,(...) or do you wait another 4 years in hope to get lucky again with a potential #1?

One think to consider is the Spurs have a ton of draft capital the next two years. They have 3-6 firsts and 4 seconds in 2024 and 2025. So they have to make some trades to consolidate their roster. I’ve been arguing the Spurs should make some type of trade to move ill-fitting players like Johnson and Collins and “excess” heavily protected picks to get a vet wing and create more playing time for their promising young players. This video has me thinking that’s either too much or a happy medium between trading for Young or Mitchell.

Victors situation is very different than any of the examples listed. The spurs really only have 1 starter quality player on the team rn outside of Wemby. Thats Devin Vassell. Tre Jones is at best a solid backup pg on a competing team. And Jeremy Sochan is an offense killer, unless he can drastically improve his 3pt shooting he should not share the floor with Wemby, opposing teams just put their center on Sochan and a wing on Wemby, leave Sochan wide open and double Wemby. That kills a half-court offense. Keldon Johnson has regressed s much as a player because he never worked on his game, hes 6'5 and wants to play bully ball, if he was 5" taller he would be Giannis, Keldon still plays like a rookie, has tunnel vision, poor passer and worse yet he never went and developed an in-between shot, no midrange, no reliable floater or runner, his game is either a corner 3 or point blank at the rim.

The end basically highlights that the Spurs should sign Trae Young since it took Jordan & LeBron the signings of two other MVPs for them to win the first chip. When Wembanyama on a team that practically play like they hate him, a future HOF is needed.

I believe the model to the Spurs is building through the lottery until the Rookie contract of Wemby spires, which give to Spurs around 3-4 years, after that, if the results did not come, will be time to go to the market and do some big money moves to make the team a real playoffs contender. After that being said, I do believe that they will acquire another great player this year's draft, and will start a new dynasty, If they get a Rob Dillingham or Nikola Topic, things are gonna start to look good very soon...

to be winning, first you need to learn how to lose and improve, it is hard learning process but it is necessary IMHO for great players, that is what is happening now to Wemby

How was the Porzingis situatino even comparable? The Mavs had no assets and had to make a high risk high reward play with a start that was very injury proned. Spurs don't have to do anything like that.

you can't compare wemby to any other player beside lebron ,mj ,kareem no shade to giannis or jokic but he is diffrent , he really generational by year 3 he well already be in mvp talk not bulding the right team around him would be dumb .

Wemby has proved himself as an elite playmaker even as rookie and will no doubt drive spurs championship hopes of only if they work on their defence, strengthen their core and increase their depts...IV got a 2nd opinion on pa popovich though....

I don't care if Spurs lose and go into the lottery for 2025 if that is their plan. I just hope it is less painful to watch...

the issue with this video is that it cherrypicked specific instances within the modern era, when wemby doesnt compare to any modern era rookie (just look at the stats or watch him play, he is 5× better than rookie AD n thats from an AD dck rider), with a player like wemby his prime is already here, wasting it would be criminal, the key is getting a genuinely proven and established talent not sum1 else who is young and "promising" like holiday or porzingas who have proven to be 3rd or 4th options at best on winning teams, sum1 like trae who is a proven #1 n will b asked to do less than he did in atl is different than holiday or porzingas who were young "promising" talents who never developed into who they were expected to be.

Even at 40, he is an elite defender, and once again, he'd be second only to Wemby on the spurs, and on top of being an incredible playmaker power forward/PG, he has turned into a 3 point shooter in his older age.

I disagree with us tanking again besides, to be frank our squad at the moment won’t be bad enough to get cooper flagg. Vassell has always improved through the season and Wemby with a year under his belt would definitely be better. Also we have a lot of cap space to sign really good role players or even an all star. In this upcoming draft I can imagine us going after Rob Dillingham a PG with a very high upside and also his backcourt partner Reed Shepphard who’s shooting lights out from 3. With the cap space that we have we can turn this team directly into a playoff team and depending on how our guys or future selectees develop we can become a contender as soon as the next 2 seasons. Idk which PG we are going to draft, it’s definitely either Dillingham or Topic. Honestly, I don’t think we should do trades yet, signing a FA is far more profitable. Because to be a contender we need depth and Keldon Johnson whom is our most important trade asset is perfect for the a bench role, same with jones. Our 3 pillars for the future as of right now are Vassell, Sochan and obviously Wemby. We have been losing in purpose this season to get a point guard, I’d say next season we’ll at least be a play in team, then the season after with the cap space that we have we can sign a co-star for wemby and maybe do the trades then

This whole premise is flawed and specious, because you're leaving out some glaring omissions. Jrue Holiday won a ring. Kristaps will likely get one this off-season. INJURIES not talent really derailed them, though I concede that KP had chemistry issues w/Luka. But Holiday was absolutely not the problem in NO. Also, how could you leave out Miami and Cleveland in the LeBron era? Cleveland isn't some free agent destination.They basically scuttled the majority of their rosters for a chance at a ring -- and they got them. To not call the Miami Heat Heatles a dynasty is a little odd -- like Pat Riley said, it was a Broadway show 4 straight years, 4 straight trips to the Finals. Cleveland went to the Finals 4 straight times with the aforementioned Kevin Love. And that's not even including the most egregious example of going all in that paid off -- the 2019 Toronto Raptors led by their mercurial, mercenary superstar Kawhi Leonard, a real sore spot for Spurs Nation. But you try and tell any Raptors fan that they're championship is a fraud, that their team has been basically rebuilding since Kawhi left, that Kawhi backstabbed them worse than he did SA, that their GM blew all their chips, and they will fight you to the death. Because for them, winning that one ring means everything, that they have a banner and that ring lasts forever. And in a way, they're right. All this talk about what a great job OKC is doing now -- what has OKC won in the Presti era again? Oh, right -- nothing. One WCF Division banner in 2011. That's it. We'll see if they even that war chest of draft picks they have coming in -- SGA is a max guy, Holmgren will be a max guy, J-Dub will be a max guy, Giddey will be pricey and there's your 3 max salary slots and you better hope that core can go the distance. Gary Parrish made a really great point about Wemby the other day -- there's all this debate about whether Victor is DPOY, but the overwhelming majority of it is tied to the Spurs record, that if the Spurs even had a modicum of a better record, somewhere closer to a late lottery team -- which Vegas projected, Sean Elliott, many people around the Spurs -- Victor would take that award, so theoretically, the Spurs already cost Wemby that DPOY trophy. The fact is this Spurs roster was overestimated and underperformed, the Sochan experiment was a disaster and made the poor guy, a solid 2nd-year player, the laughing stock of the league for awhile, and of course, the Spurs were neck-and-neck w/Detroit much of the year as the worst team in the league. In fact, the Spurs were only 2 games better. So yes, the Spurs FO didn't do any favors for Victor this year with this roster and if they try running it back by being frugal -- which is a synonym for small-market franchises especially those owned by a bottom-of-the-barrel net worth owner like the Holt family -- then the Spurs will absolutely test the fanbase, and eventually, Victor's patience. Even SGA in his first year in OKC got Chris Paul to mentor him and they made the playoffs! Ideally, you'll have. mix of both approaches. Boston's team, it's core, was built through the draft, even if we're only talking about 2 players. Even Marcus Smart is gone. The rest of their starting lineup was brought through trades. And the Spurs already have those guys in Wemby and Vassell. Trading for a guy like Young isn't going to stop them from developing players -- they've done it w/Jones, Sochan, Barlow, Wesley, Malaki, and will continue to do so. Trae would cost some draft capital, sure, but they're still going to be picking up and developing guys -- they're just not going to be doing it in the early lottery every year, congratulations, that's called the Wemby effect. And those TOR, ATL and CHI picks have protections that keep them from being too high -- in the form of literal protections and of course, with ATL ownership, with it's stated desire to be competitive. So "accelerate" is a relative term because you're literally starting from the sub-basement -- just a competent roster is an acceleration.

They got to win now! Player movement is a thing. Look at Toronto raptors, after winning the 2019 championship KL went to the clippers. KD left just after losing the finals. LBJ left Miami after 4 straight finals appearance with them. Injuries could always derail a championship run. Win championships now as early as possible, you'll never know how many will you get anyway.

bridges,claxston,shroder,finney smith for keldon,sochan,tyus jones and 5 first round 5 second round.. they have so many 1st round picks and 2nd rounds. then draft 2024 PG

@@RighteousRhythm Did LeBron and KD strike you as the leaving type early in their career? If the Spurs don’t win he’s gone. He will go where the championships are for the sake of his legacy.

It will go as said in the video : if the progress is promising in 4 years (playoffs and title contention) it's all good. Otherwise, they will try "big" money moves for 2/3 years. If there's still no success Wemby might be leaving.

with peace and love i cant listen to this ai voice

Wemby will likely be a spurs player for his whole career

They would be dumb, if they didn't do this.
