Impeccable french 😂
I mean who do we think is out there that is a sure thing?
This season should be a transition to return to the playoffs, either within the top 4 or within the play-in tournament.But In the offseason, many roster decisions will need to be made. For me, only Wemby, Stephon, and Dylan should be untouchable.
Ahaha as a french your accent was perfect !
I feel that a lot of players will be gone sooner rather than later due to lack of 3 point shooting ability, lack of shooting consistency or bad defense.
Wouldn’t be surprised if guys like Jordan McLaughlin, Kelly Olynyk, Bismack Biyombo, Sochan, Keldon and even Vassell will be on the chopping block. We need better defensive players and consistent shooters if we wanna compete against teams like OKC in the playoffs.
With the spurs being a loyal franchise, I think Vassell and KJ are "untouchable" as well.
They are definitely available but like Derrick White and Dejonte Murray, we gave them one of the best options to win on their new team (White got a ring, and Murray join Trae young after ECF appearance) I personally think the team is still TOO young to make any changes. Wemby is 21, castle is 20, and Harper is 19. Vassell, Kj, Kornet, Barnes are AMAZING glue guys. I think waiting for Wemby, castle and Harper to fully develop will be the best for the Spurs
The Spurs need Chip Engelland back as the shooting coach.
I think the Spurs should have drafted Zach Edey instead of Dillingham
Any needle mover like a derrick white/trey Murphy would cost real assets. I don’t know if it’s time to do that yet. If the ceiling for current team is something like 2 years away.. this next trade is prob moR consequential so idk
Nobody talked about us now everyone wanna talk about us lmaoo maaan foh yall ain’t even real spurs fans 😂
Come on guys… The Spurs are in the playoff seeds. No need to rush the Castle and Wemby's comebacks.
The Spurs' roster is deep enough to play against Memphis, Orlando and Cleveland.
I thought that Castle would have been back for the game against Memphis at home. This won't be the case. He should then be back at Cleveland.
For Victor, if he can already play, the injury is healed. What the interest for the Spurs to make him coming back for the games at Orlando and Cleveland (should be very physical and closed games).
I expect Victor to come back against the Pels (to secure this win) and to have at least one game before the NBA Cup against the Lakers.
Award minimum is 65 games, not 60
Stop tripping! Face it we need a legit 3 N D!!! Carter Bryant is a bust he should b in G league. N sorry as good as Champagne N esp Barnes R playing they will not cut in long term. We have too many dragt picks N that ATL 2026 is useless N too many 2nd rounders. Get Trey Murphy 3 ass here asap or someone to get us over the top.
Extremely unlikely that Spurs will make any major trades along Gosse's lines unless the Spurs get an offer they can't refuse. I'd like to point out that, in effect, the last 7 games the Spurs played without Wemby and Castle(played 1/2 a game where he was already injured – then he didn't play 2nd half), but had a 5-2 record against better teams than the 1st 12 games where they were 8-4. Why was that? I could see maybe trading Biyombo and a couple 2nd round picks for somebody slightly younger, bigger, and better – but no block buster trade. Olynyx can't really play center but he's fine as backup PF and SF for short stretches. I put the fact that the Spurs played better the last 7 games is due to not having Castle and Wemby (and to a leser extent Fox) playing at the same time. They both get too many tovs and fouls, Castle can't shoot outside of like 10 feet and surprisingly enough if you watch him closely and look at the right stats you'll find he is not a good perimeter defender. He's ok on point of attack defense, but below average in other respects. Please watch at least one of the GSW games focusing on his perimeter defense, and look at his defense of 3pt shots before you start arguing with me.
I think Spurs major task this year is cap space for early bird 2026 Wemby contract renewal talk, and 2027 Castle, so I have huge doubt if big trades would happen. Only small trades might be on the table like Sochan / Olynyk etc as their contract is expiring and we might not be able to keep to spare more space. KJ is very locked as a Spurs tho, he's only around 19M and giving exactly what our bench needs. DV would really need to see if any team would want him in the package but I have big doubt either, Spurs doesn't like trading cores anyways but developing.
