[Spurs Free Agent Target] SG Kevin Tran and Saigon Heat (VBA) have mutual interest.

[kht]

Spurs Free Agent Target (this past offseason) SG Kevin Tran and the Saigon Heat of the Vietnamese Basketball Association have mutual interest.


As someone of Vietnamese ancestry, Tran would not take up a "foreign player" roster spot, allowing the Saigon Heat maximum flexibility to sign more impactful players with those roster spots. VBA teams are only allowed up to 3 foreign players. Typically, the foreign players are the best players in the league.


We've seen the international game soar to new heights right before our very eyes. Earlier this week, Team USA fell to Lithuania at the FIBA World Games.

...


My resources tell me that Tran met with the Saigon Heat brass within the last month. Any such contract offer would -- of course -- include an NBA opt-out clause. The Spurs have remained relatively conservative this offseason and have not gone after any free agents since landing prized lottery pick Victor Wembayana.


To me, this reminds more and more of the Patty Mills (coincidentally his Spurs player comparison) situation in 2012. Mills played in the CBA in 2012 before signing with the Spurs in March. Mills ended up playing 10 seasons for the Spurs and has a high chance of seeing his number in the rafters one day.


The Georgia Tech product plays with a high motor and can finish with either hand. He is an absolute marksman from 3-point range. Teams cannot help off of him.

...


Potential Depth Chart... (assumes Devonte Graham will be moved before the deadline).


PG: Jones - Tran - Wisely
SG: Vassell - Branham - McDermott
SF: Sochan - Johnson - Bullock
PF: Wembayana - Mamu - Champagnie
C: Collins - Bassey - Barlow

Spurs should send Victor to the G League to get over himself and sign this guy

[koriwhat]

No one gives a fuck about that Chinese dude!

This mofo a game changer

At the middle school level maybe or the YMCA.

Actually if he truly wanted to play ball and dominate he should just pick up the most trendiest of mental illnesses and call himself a woman. He'd kill it in the WNBA.

[JPB]

Look Kevin, we know you'd love to play for the spurs, but this is getting embarassing.

[exstatic]

This is getting sad. Patty Mills played in China only because of the lockout, and had previous NBA experience.

Kevin Trannie?

[John B]

Is that that kid in Tiktok who likes to get people’s hats??

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Please make it stop….please.

[ismael-robert]

Impacts the game as in his team loses any lead during his time on court...finishes himself with either hand...fify

Him meeting with Spurs brass back in 2022 and having ties to SA were legit info from sources though...

What's the "h" for btw, Kevin?

Kevin "hollymollyshit" Tran?

[Trill Clinton]

Crazy we haven't signed this dude yet.

[CGD]

What a steal if true. Fingers crossed!

[HankChinaski]

I mean i guess they could use another member to the cheer squad at halftime that is generally an mildly unathletic bunch

[Ef-man]

He has a skill set that reminds me of a cross between an early Harden/Curry on defense.

[RC_Drunkford]

at this point OP must be fuckin the guy since this is like the 5th thread he made about him

[koriwhat]

He has a skill set that reminds me of Liam Neeson.

[scott]

Austin Spurs try outs are coming up... hopefully Kevin's agents have things lined up.

[Ninja Roach]

The Spurs haven't had a finisher at the rim this skilled since Enrique hung em up, tbh. This man will make us pay if we don't sign him. Time to do the Wright thing.
