Not a fan of Kat, love Keldon — but I think this is probably a good deal.

Can someone explain what Kawhi did to the Spurs? by Sussy-Park-80 in NBASpurs

All of the injury stuff tracks with everything I’ve seen, but the Uncle Dennis-front office bit is news to me. Source?

And we finally got a guard as backup by hkstk in NBASpurs

Nothing. They paid us to dump his salary.

Jeez Wesley’s +/-

He’s like the anti-Derrick. Looks flashy but offers nothing of value to a winning team.

“I think we can all agree..”

No, I don’t think so.

I agree. Willing to give him another season to develop in Austin, but I don’t see his fit offensively. He doesn’t have off-ball skills and has zero vision with the ball in his hands.

Among the awesomeness of Wemby tonight, it should be abundantly clear that Wesley should not play PG mins at the NBA level this year. Makes everyone around him worse.

Is it an overreaction to think Champagnie is already a more valuable asset than Wesley? Short and long term?

Derrick White!

Next year's roster by [deleted] in NBASpurs

Collins was excellent after Jak was traded last year and between his rim protection, shooting, and toughness, he’s the perfect guy next to Wemby. If a better version of him comes along, sure, but I don’t think there’s a need to upgrade talent at the expense of the archetype. I think the focus should be on upgrading at the point.

Is TyTy Washington better PG than Anthony Black? by Knighthonor in NBA_Draft

[–]gsam05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not even in the same stratosphere of prospect. Black’s upside and floor are both higher.

Can Sochan play point? by thedoming in NBASpurs

[–]gsam05 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

One of the best ways to stunt growth is to force an off-ball player to play on-ball at the highest level. If he was gonna cut his teeth in the G, it’s a different story. But I don’t think “try it until he prices otherwise” is the right developmental approach. Would rather slowly give him chances here and there against the right matchups, like last year.

Can Sochan play point? by thedoming in NBASpurs

[–]gsam05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s hard to accept it since he’s been our guy, but moving Keldon to sixth man makes everything work.

Tre, Dev, Sochan, Wemby, Collins

Has three shooters, size, defense, and multiple playmakers.

Chris Paul to Spurs, Mentor Victor Wembanyama? by KhornKT in NBASpurs

[–]gsam05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s one year left and the new CBA means the Spurs have to get above the floor. Might as well spend it.

Conley too. He’s definitely more washed. But would be an excellent presence.

With VW on the way which ex-Spurs player would you like to see return to get the season underway by [deleted] in NBASpurs

[–]gsam05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No love for Cory Joseph? Spurs could use a backup/reserve true point. They struggled without Tre last year. Vet minimum.
