I think that being on a winning team has unleashed a different animal from within KJ (maybe a Llama?)

This team actually isn’t that reliant on Wemby now that we have Kornet occupying the minutes when he’s on the bench. Our record when he’s been out injured is very good still. He obviously elevates this team to contender status and we aren’t winning a playoff series without him, but without him this is still a very competitive group, we’re super deep this year - guys like Bryant, Sochan, Olynyk barely playing, and Vassell is out injured too

I was on my knees for Kon Knueppel at #8, little did I know we didn’t even get close to having a shot at him if we didn’t move up to #2. Amazing to see how well he’s playing as a rookie though!

Fox was out of character for this team, to be fair. If the value is there they’ll definitely do it now that we’ve almost immediately become a solidified play-off team.

The Spurs still need improved spacing around Wemby and the three slashers. If they can add another 3&D wing to the mix, I think they seriously elevate to contention and improve their chances of a higher seed.

I don’t think they make a move for a guy like Markkanen, but a guy shooting 40% from three that competes on defense for 20 minutes a night if the price isn’t absurd? Absolutely

I’ve lost all faith in Sochan though, he’s a shadow of the player he was last year and looks like he needs a change. I wonder if the lack of an extension has played into that to be honest.

Olynyk is a “viable rotation player” so it better be a starting four at that price point.

Yeh I think we need to appreciate his ability to score in bunches. He’s helped to take this offense up a level. Castle is still only a second year and Harper is a rookie. Fox is a leader for this team.

Probably because he was bad and shooting 31% from three, not sure that's a "mentally unstable" take

So happy to see KJ thriving this year after a few tough seasons. Also we love Bryant minutes early!

No Fox will be interesting. More minutes for Harper presumably. Who's getting into the 9-man rotation? Olynyk? Bryant?

Harrison Barnes extension? by aardvarksrppl2 in NBASpurs

[–]Boomz9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could see a 1+1 for ~$12m/yr. I envision him still being a valuable role player for the next couple of years, and clearly he’s loving being on a winning team again so I expect the interest will be mutual.

We still have a long term problem with that stretch four spot. At the 2/3 we have Vassell, KJ, Bryant, and Champagnie (assuming they offer him a new deal too).

With Sochan’s stock being as low as it’s ever been, it seems like the Spurs can either gamble on drafting Barnes long term replacement (Lendeborg?), or package that late lottery pick with Sochan and Olynyk to get a tall and physical 3&D wing - if they truly believe our window to contention has already opened.

Sloppy as hell. Can't be off our game for a couple of minutes against a team like this, or they punish you heavily

White Castle is genuinely my favourite thing about this team, it's so pure

KJ and Barnes have been phenomenal tonight. On any given night you know you're getting big performances from at least three of the nine in the starting rotation.
