  1. Keldon would prob have to take a pay cut like Harrison Barnes did.

    Hopefully he can learn something from Tobias and become more versatile offensively. He became too predictable and one dimensional during the playoffs with his bully-ball in the paint.

  2. We’re basing a lot of our statements on things we’re not sure of. Every team is a match up game and Keldon will definitely be needed as he is our intangibles guy. Hustles for everything, physically tires out opposing players, and helps set the tone in critical moments. Will get decreased minutes against teams with lots of size but in the playoffs we only lost one series to one team. The team with the best combination of size in the center position depth wise. There’s a potential lineup of Harper, Keldon, Harris, Reed and Kornet. Harper for running the play, Keldon for physicality on the perimeter as well as kick out shooting, Tobias for shot creating, and then reed and Kornet for offensive board positioning

  3. Vassell was the most important offensive player in the starting lineup after Victor. 3PT shooting is the team's biggest weakness (legitimately doodoo in the latter rounds), and this report is fake.

  4. Can someone show me the actual interview or article where Brian wright says castle has grown that much? How is that possible the season just ended a month ago

  5. Wemby took less to keep his team together, not necessarily to go and get another big name. We are fine now to let the players develope more. Keldon might surprise us next year and shoot above 40 percent from 3.

  6. I think that Keldon is gonna show out this year after the rough playoff run. I also believe that we should get rid of McLaughlin, as Gillespie (as well as DJG) can take that bench role. Harrison can be let go too after his rough 2nd half of the year, especially since we have such good replacements like Carter and now Tobias. Kornet can also go as he really doesn't look for his shot in games, killing the offense, this is where Jayden Quaintance can get his minutes from. With all of those cuts I think that the spurs can keep Keldon, especially if he fixes his image this Regular Season and Post Season

  7. If the Spurs want to win championships, sometimes you have to let go of fan favorite players if you can go and get a player that the roster needs to get over the hump. Look at Smart with Boston, Donte with the Knicks, Giddey (before the scandal) with OKC.

  8. No! Please don’t bro. Not you too. Youre one of the most reliable Spurs voices out there at least to me. Don’t fall for that garbage. I am referring to The castle growth spurt. It’s an irresponsible post by a desperate Clickbaiter that can’t provide a source for that statement. Brian Wright never said that to the best of my knowledge. And this clout chaser is getting exactly what he wanted by you talking about it. As far as anyone serious is concerned, it’s not true.

  9. SGA is 6'6" and in pics from the WCF, Castle appears to be taller than him. I guess it depends what part of the pineapple you measure to, but I'd say he looks at least an inch taller.

  10. I’m not saying lowball but if offer is close KJ will prolly stay. The minutes will be there cuz we know Wemby won’t be playing 35+min every game + Harper moving to starting role

  11. Castle can obviously play small forward decently well, but if we start all 3 of our best guards we don't have a good PG leading the second unit – which was a huge strength for us last season. I just don't see the upside, outside of maybe going small ball to close out games (which might not even be good against most opponents).

  12. We can't extend KJ without paying him more than he is currently making (IIRC) so we definitely shouldn't. I love KJ's energy, but there is no way that we'll want to pay him 19 or 20 mil per year for the forseeable future.

  13. Next season (2027/2028) after this new one, the Spurs will pay 201M$ on 11 active contracts (Fox, Wemby, Vassell, Harris, Champagnie, Castle, Harper, Kornet, Bryant, Quaintance, Reed). The luxury tax should be around 210M$ and the first apron around 220M$. At this stage, even with minimum veteran contracts, the Spurs won't manage to complete the roster without becoming a luxury tax franchise.
    I am pretty sure that the Spurs are not ready to become an apron franchise (not before paying Castle and Harper, and certainly not before trading Fox !!!).
    Just imagine if the Hawks are not making the playoff (which is very plausible in the current eastern conference) and the Spurs is getting the First pick in the draft 2027; the new rookie would add 15M$ to this 201M$ !!!

    This is then completely impossible for the Spurs to extend Keldon Johnson. His future in SA should be limited to one year at best.
    The Spurs could be wise to maintain his minutes high in 2026 in order for him to continue to have good stats in order to trade him at his best value in february. He could perhaps bring one or two second round picks.
