Let’s uh have some takeaways from last night’s Spurs lost to the Jazz addressed some YouTube comments and has wimy done enough to secure a spot on the Western Conference Allstar Squad you are locked on Spurs your daily San Antonio Spurs podcast part of the locked on podcast Network your team every
Day hey this is hob rod and I’m RC from the cybertronics you’re listening to lock on Spurs with Jeff Garcia welcome back to lock on Spurs here on the lock on NBA network I’m your host Jeff Gario Spurs R for K 5 San Antonio glad to have you back hope
You’re having a great work week we’ll get you through it right here on lockdown Spurs you guys are the everydays we appreciate you coming on here every single day to talk all things silver and black this episode is brought to you by game time you want to go to
Gametime.co right now everybody what are you waiting for download the game time app create account use code locked on NBA for 20 bucks off your first purchase what are we talking about today some quick takeaways from shocker another loss by your Spurs to the Jazz then
We’re going to bring our guest Ry compos of sweep the league we’re going to be addressing some YouTube comments left on the lock on spur uh fan page SL webpage and then we’re gonna be asking if wimy has done enough if he’s done enough to secure a spot on the Western Conference
Allstar Squad that’s coming up next on lockdown Spurs but for last night your Spurs lost shocker 130 to 118 to the Utah Jazz Spurs can’t snap their losing skid five in a row the B El’s and they dropped to 4 and 25 so what are some
Takeaways uh you know what again it was rinse repeat loss that’s pretty much what it was it was competitive first half wheels come off in the second half stop me if you heard that before that’s kind of been the theme for the first season great first half wheels come
Apart on the second half and you saw that again takeway number one is the same old same old same Spurs they got outscored by the Jazz in the third quarter and that’s what really broke up in the the game for the Utah 36 to 33 uh
Then they did another 30 point uh period in the fourth 30 to 25 that’s all they needed to get the win over San Antonio and credit the Spurs they did jump out to an early 15-point lead but this is takeaway number two again showing their immaturity showing they cannot play
Consistently papovich said after the game that this team is still searching for consistency he talked about how Utah played for 48 minutes how Utah was a more physical team the Spurs were not so takeaway number two is consistency seems to still you see it I see it popsa last
Night versus Utah same thing over and over again takeaway number three is Win bayama he did not look himself versus the Jazz now he finished you know with a respectable 15 points seven rebounds four assist one steel five blocks in 24 minutes might be on a minutes restriction papovich said in his opinion
That wimy did not look himself during the game he also said that wimy is not gonna play in both back-to-back games versus Portland so perhaps that ankle injury that he sustained recently is still bothering him look this point of the Season why not just preserve your FR
Your franchise player if he wants to go and play uh one game and pit says yeah but po I mean sorry wiy says I want to play both I’m pretty sure the SC will say nope you’re sitting your butt down so preserve the future because the short
Term this season is all but a bust kind of a 3B takeaway Kellin Johnson really impressed during the game he let the team with 26 points in 30 minutes four rebounds and three assists so he Tred to get the team going especially in that second half really was uh pretty much
The only option the scorers had 22 points by Devin vasel and 16 points for Julian champeny and starting again don’t know if that’s a sign things to come kin Johnson Off the Bench so keep an eye on that as the season moves on those are your three quick takeaways from another
Spurs loss Spurs play the Blazers Thursday night in Portland in a back toback Thursday Friday so there you have it coming up next is compos so sweep the league we’re going to be asking if wimy has done enough to make him a spot on the Western Conference Squad and address

Of I mean it’s what like two years old two years old yeah the old yeah I don’t the sherbet color ones yeah the Sher the one that everybody and it’s weird because everybody cries about the jerseys when they come out and when they get them it’s like oh they’re so awesome
They’re lovely and I love them so yeah there’s a better way to do a Camelo Jersey than what they did yeah he’s with sweep the league and he’ll talk about his show in just a few minutes and yeah we’re going to start talking all things silver and black with Rudy we’re going
To be asking has wimy done enough to make the West Allstar Squad and then I’m gonna throw some YouTube comments uh Rudy’s way and he’ll get his reaction and my reaction in just a few minutes but Rudy first of all happy Holidays happy holidays man uh New Year’s right
Around the corners so was it like new year new beginning type thing uh for San Antonio Spurs fans that might be a good thing well maybe a new uh notch on wm’s belt in the new year with the allstar game uh just a few months ahead nevertheless fan voting has started
Allstar voting has begun we don’t have the returns yet I’m going to assume that wmy should be getting a big chunk because of the fan base in the United States and in France we all know that we’ve seen it before with Yao Ming even Zha Pia remember that yeah when he was
Pushing for Western Conference starter all because of the his home country but nevertheless here we are we’ve asked this before should wimy be on the allar squad and we got mix reaction but now the question is tweaked now has he done enough to make himself a viable candidate either for a starter
Job or the bench Rudy you are the guest has wimy done enough to earn a spot individual stats I mean you’re talking uh one of the league leaders if not the league leader in blocks at the time um he’s averaging 18 and I believe what 10
When it comes to rebounds and points uh considering you’ve got Yi and car Anthony towns as the big guys uh in the Western Conference I would think if you look at stat-wise he’s probably done for position uh for the Spurs yeah I would say stat wise he probably deserves a nod
To the allstar but let’s not be real a lot of it is fan voting so I mean unless he gets a lot of fan votes from overseas which we anticipate you know people from France and all around even the country say in the United States I mean you’re
Going to see a lot of votes coming in for wmy uh to make the All-Star Squad he got a push by LeBron James as well recently talking about Wy should be making the All-Star game so we’ll see it’s going to be kind of interesting to
See if he does make it but as far as record-wise I mean let’s be real he doesn’t deserve to be on it you’re looking at Spurs record-wise uh but again allstar game is about the players it’s always been about the players so if he’s done enough I would say he’s number
Three or four in the west when it comes to big guys that should probably get him in but again it’s going to probably be a lot more guard and small forward oriented game anyway yeah yeah if it is a popularity contest which we all know
It is then you can’t get more of the popular vote than LeBron James I mean when le Lebron James goes out in public wasn’t even a Spurs game he just said it that W deserves to be on the allstar Squad that should do well yeah I unfortunately I think that the the
Record is going to hurt wimy tremendously I mean big time I mean as of this recording four wins on the season I mean that’s just even if they do beat the Jazz you um it’s still just the fifth win of the Season yeah and and you
Know even and I think what Also may hurt and let me get your thoughts on this is that even though he we seen him put up big numbers versus teams they’re not enough to get W’s yeah you know if he really was all that then shouldn’t just
His presence alone be enough to keep the Spurs in contention during games as of now they’re not I mean they’re still getting destroyed by 20 or more even when he’s putting up 25 or more how what do you think about that about his individual performance impacting the
Team you know at the beginning of the Season well even before the beginning of the season when everybody saw that the Spurs won the lottery they instantly thought you know playoffs and they thought playin team and you know worst case you know they should be in the
Playin spot right there uh but you’ve got to remember it’s the type of Team you build around Victor wanyama and you know on paper I I know I I look at it and I’m probably one of the few guys in a cave somewhere that just stays to
Myself because I know how brutal it gets online and on social media I tend to wait for lock on Spurs or other shows to talk about stuff but you know when you look at the Spurs team on paper it’s it’s one word it’s just talent I mean there’s really there wasn’t really any
Leadership right there uh you didn’t have a whole big of a presence when it comes to Veterans and we say veterans more than three or four years in the league I mean you need big time veterans on this team um you know it was just
Kind of on paper it looked good but as as far as it working out it wasn’t that CA it wasn’t the case and we don’t know exactly with Victor coming in you know he was supposed to add all these wins he’s not you know you call a generational Talent a generational
Talent does it mean that you’ve got to win in the first year not necessarily you don’t have to necessarily win the first year but you have to make an impact and we haven’t seen that impact as far as the overall team goes so yeah stats wise there I said he was going to
Be about 18 and 10 18 and N for the end of the year which is right close which is where right where he’s at so I just don’t think that the stats are really mattering at this point because it’s not helping the team overall and again could
It be coaching Jeff could it be chemistry could it be tinkering with the lineup we just don’t know at this point yeah you you look at what he’s done so far through the month of December not including the game versus the Jazz he’s averaging about 30 minutes a game uh you
30.5 to be exact 16.4 points per game in the month of December 13 rebounds three assists uh 1.4 steals uh turnovers have gone down a little bit 2.9 about three and uh you’re looking overall shooting at 42% and believe it or not he’s gotten better from the three line statistically
31% but nevertheless he’s had a couple of injury games he had that freak accident with the ball boy you know stepping on the on the angle and then you know the Spurs just you’re being Spurs and just at him out and then a couple nights was like a rest day pretty
Much a loow management day nevertheless statistically yes he deserves a look but you mentioned it right now the talent ahead of him you know is is Joker and uh car Anthony towns Anthony Davis Kevin Durant Davis Kevin Durant you know there there’s there’s I’m I think the
Popular popularity of him will help push him to least make things interesting yeah I think the country of France is definitely going to go out all out for him and vote for him I think that’s going to help him I I think this is
Going to be kind of if he does make it I think a reserve we know he’s gonna be there for the All-Star weekend because of the Rising Stars challenge we know that so he’s gonna be doing that and who knows what else they may have him do uh
For the events at the at the game I think it’s Indiapolis this year right I it’s in Indie so overall I think it’s going to be one of those things where somebody sits out and he gets in what do you think exactly my point that’s what I was saying does
He get voted in I okay the only way he gets into the allstar game is a guarantee if he gets voted in but I don’t see him getting voted in by the fans unless you just see like we said that Ying presence where it just come and nobody’s really paying attention to
The Spurs anymore even though they’re a national TV I mean they’re not bringing the excitement to those National TV games they’re not they’re getting they’re getting wrecked wrecked yeah look at the Dallas the last National Dallas game was against Dallas and you you the second
Half did they even show up I it was a disaster so I think the fact that the team is playing horrible is not going to help him but I do agree with you I think if any if any particular segment of the fan base is going to get him in it’s
Going to be the the French fans right the country yeah he’s got to get voted in now if he doesn’t get voted in uh then looking at the reserve spot but again I don’t see where coaches or anybody would get him into the game unless it’s for an injury type thing
Where some player and it kind of goes back to the Deonte Murray thing when Deonte made the allstar team was based off of an injury so does he get in you know hey Spurs fans are 100% saying he’s gonna get in I’m sure but if you look at
The overall picture there’s just too much more Talent ahead of him on more winning teams that deserve an All-Star nod yeah this is going be uh brutal you know I mean look it’s bad season already you’re looking for Ray of Lights here uh you know Allstar nod for wmy would help a little
Bit you know the record OKC has a better record than the Spurs yeah and you know I I know I’m gonna probably piss some spurs fans off by saying this but you no way Rudy again this is gonna do that this isn’t a humous take because I don’t I
Don’t just say stuff for anything you know I say stuff behind it but when you look at the rookie of the Year voting it’s an individual award rookie of the year is one player so stat-wise he matches up with Chad fantastic but then you look at the records what it also
Goes by impact what kind of impact does wimy have with the Spurs we haven’t seen that impact only maybe in spurts Chad you’ve seen the impact Oklahoma is not you know two or three in the west without Chad but if I had to literally say something right now and again the
Numbers back me up in the records backed me up as far as not stats this guy doesn’t have stats on there but the impact he has I mean you’re looking at Chad being won Victor and haime wz as yeah 2 A2B right now I mean he’s having
A major impact in Miami so yeah it’s needless to say it’s still it’s a three-man race right now for rookie of the year it is but it’s circling back to whether wimy has done enough to put him into position I think statistically he has but I just think those extraneous
Factors are going to hit him the record lack of popularity with the Spurs you know he’s gonna get a good fan support but outside of Spurs fans whether that be the United States or France is probably not going to be enough you know unless from this point
On he just goes to some incredible tear where he does what he did in Phoenix like more often than not I I don’t remember the last time he had a monster game like that I think he maybe had a couple of monster games but again but you forget about them because they’re
Losing he puts up a game against Memphis for example but they lost he puts up a monster stat line versus Chicago but they lost you know situations like that where you forget about what he did look what happened in that Phoenix game he went for 30 and something or just being
The wimy that we thought he’d be and it was all over national sports news everywhere now because they also won now they’re not winning so hopefully the Spurs will fix that and we look we’re looking for some sort of rail lightning this bad season yeah and hopefully that
Could be one uh as the season moves on when we get back we’re going to throw some fan comments that were left on the lockdown Spurs YouTube page I’m G get Rudy’s reaction and answers including a lot of questions about why don’t they

Follow him on X on uh well X I’m sorry excuse me at sweep the league so here we go so you fans have been very active on the lockdown Spurs YouTube page and we appreciate that y’all you know come there every single day and you did not disappoint and you left several comments
We wish we had time to read every single one of them but we don’t so we’re going to pick two or three I’m gonna uh to read them for uh Rudy and we’re going to get our reaction so here’s a part where you guys become part of lock on Spurs
And the first one Rudy is up this was by flip flog flip flop zg okay he says the biggest problem is that losing in this manner creates a losing mentality within the organization there is no light switch you can turn around the worst thing you could do is have a team uh
Which is a bunch of young guys that let me continue reading that grow accustomed to losing look at Detroit uh they’re done nothing is going to turn that around the only way forward is for those guys to move to a move to a winning franchise so what do you think about the
Idea by the way thank you flipflop zg for that comment what do you think about that the losing mentality setting into San Antonio especially with this roster think it’s gonna impact the these kids individually or this is just one of those Seasons you know it’s it’s kind of a it’s kind of a
Question you can go on different paths with um can we really say losing mentality I mean these guys they it’s not like we’ve been on a 15year losing you know skid or anything I mean there’s been teams out there that have been bad for years and all of a sudden they’ve
They’re all of a sudden good now so what it comes down to is yes if they’re in a winning environment that helps and it helps everybody grow quicker um but you can’t just bring winners into San Antonio you have to draft them or trade
For them or sign them as a free agent we know the free agent area is a very bad thing for San Antonio you don’t just go out and get you know free agents all the time uh the trade market you have a lot of players that say I would love to play
For pop but then there’s that little Aster at the bottom that says I don’t want to go to San Antonio because it’s you know it’s San Antonio there’s nothing to do there whatever so you’re basically going into the draft now the past few years the draft for the San
Outside of Victor womman Yama has been kind of up and down you know you’re getting talented players but you’re not getting the star players that other teams are getting in the draft that are making a difference so the winning mentality is it’s it’s going to be on
Their minds but what I think is the biggest thing is like you and I have talked about before it’s bringing in a a star a superstar uh bringing in a guy like an OG and anobi a pascal sakam somebody who has tasted winning already who can develop your younger guys and
Help them lead them to the next you know the next phase of NBA basketball so I get it it’s a losing environment and I’m gonna be honest with you just just take the losing for what it’s worth right now whether you want to take it as growth
Whether you want to take it as it just sucks being a sanon spr right now believe me Jeff and I have been through Worst Years in Spurs basketball so just let it just let it ride and let you know around this is probably one of the worst
I’ve ever experienced ever oh yes this is up there this was really really bad yeah I’m with you right there I I think well you know with flipflops comment um I don’t know it’s a matter of when a losing mentality settl in in I’m hoping in my ideal world that this just
Ignites them you know puts the lights of fire on them I was hoping last year’s Bad season would light of fire and into this season and it did at least in media day in the first few games where Deon Vel was oh we don’t want to go through
That again pop but we’re all about winning so you saw that and then here we are the total debacle of a season yeah so you know that you know the only thing I’m worried about too is this losing Seasons plural may spark some of these
Guys to say get me out of here I don’t want to be a part of this um no you know I have my shelf life you know I got I only have X amount of years when I play in the NBA so that’s what I’m worried
About if if it continues and guess what everybody yeah it’s probably gonna continue next season they they’ll probably be a bad team you’re hoping just win wise I have more but the only way out of this is they got to get aggressive and use that war chest of
Picks and money and players they have to make a move to they can win ASAP there there are generational talents that are coming out in the draft now now not next year I’m not saying next year but with Cooper flag coming in 20125 I mean that
Is a Larry Bird type of player so he can make a huge difference for teams out there um you know but let me you got a lot of fans that comment on YouTube and everywhere Jeff and you know for before we go to the next one I wanted to ask
The fans out there and comment on this because I I really want to know if you didn’t live in San Antonio and you not a first fan and you looked at the roster what made this roster tell you that they’re going to be a playing team now
When I say that it’s the fact of take off the glasses of well they have Devin is you know this kind of player and Kellin is just you know averaging 20 points a game now okay but that has never that has never made them a true Contender by seeing these guys do that
So what on paper did you look at this roster and say yeah Victor’s gonna add 20 wins to get him into the play it it do to me I never was able to see that so that would be something for the fans to talk about you probably work closely
With Vegas you and Vegas were the on really saw out there that this was not going to be a winning team well I I’ve lost so much money to Vegas they gave me the inside they gave some inside yeah okay so our next comment is pretty much
Gonna represent a bulk of the recent comments it’s all about uh wimy so we’ll just pick one uh this is from I had it here heard this Stephen mcclintic okay he says that that’s the problem I guess with the team has him W be the ball more
And that this comment is getting repeat over and over again on various shows so let me put it in perspective for fans out there is you want to pass wimy the dam ball I get that wiy deserves to have you know 30 40 50 touches a game just
Because of his dominance that he could dominate the paint but let me pose this question guys who in the hell is going to pass him the damn ball you think just because you’re in the NBA that you’re able to make a simple pass to in the post or anything no these guys are
Quicker playing the basketball you know in high school and you know Junior High and everything no matter where you on the court you can’t just literally lob a pass every time you can’t you know there’s people fighting in the post it’s tough to make a pass now outside of Trey
Jones who in the hell can make a crisp pass to Wendy constantly who had the right mind thinks okay I need to get the ball to wimy you’ve got Kellin and Devin who are just Playmakers they’re not guards to where hey I’m looking to pass first they are Playmakers Trey Jones is
A true point guard Jeremy soan he’s an overall guy that can do little things here and there is he an assist guy is he a pass first guy no he’s not so there’s nobody on the roster that is a pass first obviously but that is comfortable making that pass because why you’re
Scared that you’re going to make the pass and you’re going to turn the ball over and what happens you get that dirty look from pop we’ve seen it many many times pop gives you the dog you’re in the dogh house put your hair you do that they don’t want to make mistakes so
Don’t don’t think that they’re not trying to get wimy the ball in my opinion this is my opinion alone it’s because they’re not comfortable making that pass making that post entry pass lobbing it over a Defender I mean these guys you’re asking them to do something that they probably have never done in
Their career uh you know this is a team with a at least early had a high turnover rate now has it gotten better yes it has through the month of December as of this recording 14 turnovers per game and it’s gone down considered from
18 and a half I believe in October to 15 to 14 so you’re seeing a pattern they’re they’re learning to Valley the ball more uh we we’ll see but I I got a feeling they’re going to be defeating him more uh you saw uh Devon vasel and soan
Acknowledge that they have a s foot five guy on their team and he should be getting the ball more I mean nobody can you know and a little bit has to go on wimy too he has to he has to ditch that mentality he had to start his NBA career
Remember what did he say Rudy I don’t want to be a center I don’t want don’t don’t pitch it homie I’m not a center I could do it all but hey hey look what happens you throw him at Center he’s now putting up bigger numbers so they got to
Take advantage of that final comment is from Conor McLoud I I wish it was Conor McLoud from Highlander but uh there shall be only one and here he is there is the only one Conor McLoud you’re GNA love this comment he says time to trade your thoughts I am 100% on Conor ml’s
Bandwagon there because when it comes to he’s not gonna go hunt you down now for your no you down and take your swords so you’re um you you’ve got to make a trade man and you know I I’ve been I I’m the worst GM but I’m the best GM possible
Because if you know back in the day if you called me about Tim Duncan I’m answering the call because I just have to I have to answer it you gotta answer it you’ve got to answer every call you you you’ve got Kellin you’ve got Devin have you done winning with them no so
You you obviously know and you’re saying oh they they have a higher ceiling they can be they can improve how much more can Kellin improve throughout his career how much more ceiling is left for Devin to improve how much more is there for Jeremy to improve I mean if you’re gonna
Get you know a decent takeback in for one of these guys you have to consider it and I’m not saying pull the trigger but you’ve got to consider it so yes at the trade deadline be very active if you’re not gonna if you’re not going to do anything for just you know tease
Everybody just be active say hey we are inquiring you know hey they did inquire about this hey w we are talking about this you know just show the fans that they’re actually you know something to look forward to because again if you’re going to keep the same Rush year after
Year you’re going to get the same results year after year with the approvement just kind of you know barely going up and honestly The Price is Right remember the mountain guy that would go up you know it would it would just be like running out of batteries and just
Barely going up on the Wind totals year after year yeah yeah I I think trading should be an option at the trade deadline it’s starting to heat up already you’re hearing big rumor big names being floated out but I’m hope and I’m expecting the Spurs name or players
To be thrown out there too simply because of you know what they can provide you know imagine a Kellin Johnson like on a phoenix team or or something like that you know and for teams that are looking to maybe put make a push there’s still several steps ahead
For them to get out of the rebuild one of them could be trading so yes Conor McLoud there should be only one yes there should be only one and that option it should be trading that is on the table that should be on the tra table
And yes that probably does mean like a and Johnson maybe it does me a soan but if you’re going to get a a deal like the Spurs got for dejonte from Atlanta I mean that you could not pass that I mean how many first unprotected first round
Picks they yeah was like two three you got to go for that so if the Spurs get that typ type of a sweetheart deal Spurs got to take it and look you got to keep wmy happy and if keeping wommy happy Means raking uh racking up W’s by bringing in players that could
Possibly help that because look there’s nowhere where else to go up but up right now this team is at the bottom of the barrel so there’s anything to do that can help and there there’s one kid out there Jaden Ivy who’s not getting any play in Detroit right now and he plays a
Position that you kind of covered at point guard and very explosive um can be very uncontrollable but I think with the right system he can maybe benefit so you kind of kill two birds with one stone you fill the point guard position and then you also get a second explosive
Score and he’s not being used in Detroit and Detroit’s on a 26g game losing streak I believe so yeah they’re they’re not looking to keep certain players probably Kate Cunningham is the only guy that’s probably they’re wanting to keep so maybe kick the tires on that see what

Huge Wemby fan, but I did think he would look alot stronger at this point in the season.
Question,
If Wemby doesn't get rookie of the Year does he hold it against the Spurs long term…?
How much would the Thunder trade for Wemby? Chet and 4 firsts? Voting for Chet this year is like Okafor over Dwight Howard. Ben Simmons over Donovan Mitchell. Brogdon over Embiid. It will look silly to vote Chet just because he has SGA and friends.
Wemby is a defensive monster BUT he just hasn't made enough impact for the Spurs to get more wins. Give the young man a reason to keep growing and learning and don't give him the All Star nod…just yet.
I see the Lakers, Warriors and Suns at the bottom of the West and can't blame this young squad for this losing season. If those teams are struggling to get w's … The only great player we've ever gotten during FA was Aldridge.
Rudy nobody said the spurs was a playoff team but we expected them to win more than 4 games out of 28 games and yes we expected the spurs to know how to make an entry pass to wemby in the nba and if they cant do it find someone who can. Thats just unexceptable
Rudy all they do in college basketball is pass the to the big inside because college play a lot of zones. 99% of the spurs came from college. No excuses. I see them passing the ball to Zac in the post a lot. You lost all credibility to me with that stupid comment about this nba team dont know how to pass the ball to wemby if they cant trade their a$$. Because how can you win if your team dont have the fundamentals to pass a freaking ball in the nba and being Coach by the Greatest coach of all time
Nope.Spurs record sucks. I also notice that in post-game interviews, Detroit players look like their dog died but Spurs are strangely upbeat.
Red Auerbach told Bill Russell he'd credit rebounds as baskets. Pop should count assists nade to Wemby similarly for performance evaluations.
Blaming Wemby for the spurs record is kinda crazy and a bad faith argument,he the best player on his teams and leads his rookie classes. He doing the best he can with the team he has. Winning games is a team effort and his team isn’t giving much effort at all.
Does Rudy Campos realize at the pace the Spurs are losing games — neck-and-neck with Detroit — they're not even going match last year's losing record?
Forget about Vegas odds, Vegas is actually wrong at this point — the under is in full effect.
How anyone can justify this season as anymore than a colossal failure at this point is beyond me.
And with the way the Spurs are losing, Wemby should be playing more minutes. He's averaging around 30 a game — he should be closer to 33.
This team is not good enough for any less.
Also, does Rudy Campos realize that a "play-in" team is STILL a lottery team?
That there was ZERO reason, given how Pop/FO/players were talking, Spurs fans were overshooting expectations to expect a losing record in that late lottery area.
But what's becoming painfully obvious now is the roster construction was terrible and guys like Vassell were misevaluated by the FO.
You want to know what a REAL #2/#3 option plays like, look no further than Desmond Bane in Memphis. Spurs'll be lucky if Vassell even matches Bane's floor.
Outside of Wemby, this whole roster should be expendable. And because teams don't want trashy players, that means you gotta deal picks.
Trades for picks — fool's gold.
Trades for contributors to help Wemby secure his inaugural trophy case — priceless.
Spurs have plenty of losing in their future at this rate — they can draft there.
If you're dealing players on this current roster, you need to get players back.
No, unfortunately not – the west positions are all ready set. The team's very poor performance potentially also impacts his stocks. The Spurs accounts not even pushing or posting him to be NBA All star is glaringly odd. Last year the push for Jeremy was high, but this year even fans arent making noise for Wemby's all star stint because everyone frustrated Wemby doesnt get the ball.
Its dlusional to think wemby is an all star, makes our fan base look beyond dlusional with this🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
