Not ! Already too Much players with a GLeague Level to Trade ! Only CP3 help to build a stability, Barnes help a little but it's not enough at all, very fragil. KJ, Tre Jones, Colins, etc are not very good, Vassel too much expensive and no efficient for this price.
The progression they’ve made this year is a step forward. Doesnt mean we they’re automatically a playoff contender. Chris Paul’s leadership is gonna affect the team positively and Wemby is amazing. Let’s give the young players credit for what they’re able to accomplish and wait for them to blossom into something even better
CP3 should give the lead to Wemby! Even if he stay the real leader, he should push Wemby to behave as such.
For example, he should shot the Tech. That will permit to Wemby to grab much more important rebounds when he is more fighting with his team mate than with the opponent.
I never saw a SF try to get a rebound on the head of his Center except in SA!
He should impose himself.
They probably would’ve won if they had played castle in the end. I think this loss had to do with youthful coaching not a youthful team.
They are a young team but age isn't the issue here, it's the quality that is. I think they need to get rid of a few youngsters and put some good proven players in the roaster.
Pop created that too young crap. In 1989-90 The Spurs almost got to the western conference finals, with rookies and 2nd year players.
Paul is 100% correct.
I'm heading for the exit on Vassell tbh. This is year 5 and THAT'S all he's yielding?
Chris was right to speak about this openly. Like the Bible says, Open rebuke is better than secret love (Prov. 27:5).
They should make the play in at least. They needs to grow up. Wemby needs help.
I expect more from Vassell, Champagne, Mamu, Johnson and Jones etc.
At least they aren't being blown out by good teams. They weren't supposed to win anything this year. They will soon start learning how to win close games. No issues just in the learning stage, and people are just impatient.
Barnes and Vassell need to step up , the physicality wasn’t there on offense or defense
