No one has ever wondered whether Wemby himself might be keen to keep some of the players they play with now. You have to bear in mind that the guy does everything on the pitch and making him happy is something that makes perfect sense. I think one good, promising player is enough. But there was a clear improvement in Spurs at the end of the season. Something to think about 😊

Disagree on the foundation players. I have them in two tiers. Players your keeping for next 5-10 yrs, and solid players but are replaceable/trade able. Tier 1: Wemby Vessel Sochan Tier 2: Tre Sandro Branham Not a keldon fan unless he ups his defense/effort a lot. Guy can score but that’s it. Wesley can’t shoot. I love his effort but you gotta get shooters are kind wemby. Need to see more time from Sandro, but I thought he had clear chemistry with wemby on both sides of floor, can relieve some of the banging from wemby etc. Loved the pod!

Very good review. However, I think the hawks want wayyyyy too much for Trae young.

Here's what I wonder, why no one mentions that DeMar DeRozan is going to be a free agent this summer and still is averaging 20+ points a game for the Bulls. I think he still likes Pop and I can imagine he's one of the many who see Wemby as a budding Super Star. Imagine a line up of him at the 3, Devin, and Wemby. Then you add a top 5 guard like Topic or Dillingham and if the Spurs get the Toronto pick maybe you swing for the fences a bit and take Buzelis, Cody Williams, or Ron Holland. That to me is at least a play-in team because the Spurs have a number of picks possibly in the '25 draft and '26 that would allow them to ditch tanking and possibly still get one, maybe 2 lottery picks. So the Spurs can just play and win and they don't have to mortgage everything to get a Tre Young or Cade Cunningham. DeMar would solve a lot of the Spurs ills.

Then get Batum (and an elite PG maybe) and the Spurs could go to the playoff next season.

@danielpenrodii2389

Ай бұрын

Tre Jones is not a field general that created shooting opportunities away from the ball. Defenses did not worry about him, so even though he did better than I imagined he would, he isn’t the caliber of guy to fixate on in that regards. For Victor’s development and the team’s future, we need a PG that can facilitate the ball better, demand more attention with or without the ball, and can control the floor. Tre does none of those things.

When we talk about this coming offseason, I hope spurs to target two special guys. No.1 is magic's Isaac. This season Wemby is often defending two or more guys at same time, he needs some help. If Isaac joins us, we can play swishing defense on front court sooooo well. Plus, we can avoid Wemby losing stamina quickly. A health Wemby is our cornerstone, it's doesn't matter what others think. In my imagination, if we get raptor's pick this year, spurs & magic's trade should be like this: Spurs gets: Issac + 2024 magic's 1st round pick Magic gets: raptor's pick + Malaki + maybe two 2st round picks. Another one spur fan told me this year seems too weak, I agreed. So I changed it: Spur gets: Issac + 2024 magic's 1st round pick Magic gets: raptor's pick+ spur's 2026 1st round pick(lottery protected for two years than become two 2st round picks) + Malaki + maybe two 2st round picks. If it's a done deal, then imagine we put wizard's Avdija along with Wemby & Isaac. Yes, he is my No.2 Solid defense + iso + a little bit playmaking. Sounds like Ben Simmons with shoot + good attitude and only 4yrs/5500M. But it would cost more assets to make it come true. That'd in my mind like this: Spur gets: Avdija Wizard gets: magic's pick+ bull's pick + 2028 spur's 1st round pick(lottery protected for two years then become two 2st round picks) + Keldon + Graham( to help with salary match) If we go lucky, we may have the starters line like this: Wemby/ Zach Isaac/ Sochan/mamu Avdija/ Cedi/Sidy Vassell Plus our own 2024 1st pick to backup We all know pop's great at developing offense in DEFENSIVE TALENTS. In this case, Sarr, Resacher and maybe Topic are all good additions to us. Even if we finally go for Trae with hawk's picks, this kind of defensive starters line will make it more acceptable. By the way, I also think about other guys just like Markkanen or Garland then give up quickly.

In this case, we have to show Magic with the utmost sincerity, same with Isaac. Every team knows Magic's a ticking time bomb. They have too many bigmen, and too many rookies to extend contracts in few years. Including Banchero's Max. We can help them with two picks for future talents, and Malaki for backup SG with shoot.

We MUST address the PG spot early in the draft and find a guy who is a facilitator, a field general, somebody that creates plays/space without even having the ball in his hands. Wemby gets soooo much attention from defenses that we need somebody ASAP that can make his life that much easier.
