There's the rub

It's a different NBA than 20 years ago. I have a sneaking suspicion that he'll be under a protection order by Silver in NY with the caveat that: "you can play him tough, but you can't abuse him in order to test him, or, run him off. He's going to pay dividends not just for the Spurs, but for ALL of us. Don't fuck it up. I have to run, got a bar mitzvah I have to go to. Mazaltoph."

Not a chance tbh. They’ve got a 6 or 7 year window with healthy Wemby starting now. He’s so good they might get one in that window, but Wemby is here for a good time not a long time.

its just sad. The guy should have retired 3 or 4 years ago and just enjoyed retirement... And if he wanted to stay in basketball, the Spurs should have given him some job in the FO, or just stick to the USA team.

Exactly.

Pop should go be a pundit for MSNBC since politics is obviously his main passion.

I thought he was just hanging around for the all time wins record. But since he already accomplished that, not sure what his MO is now.

Selfishness. He knows that after basketball there's nothing else for him, he wants to drag this out as much as possible. He's, without a doubt, the worst coach in the NBA right now. I can't think of any other coach that handicaps his own team so blatantly as Pop.

[FrostKing]

^ That's fair

Pop led Team USA but ultimately his legacy is tied to Duncan. He held on too long and look what happened - Wemby fell in his lap.

In Pop's eyes the league is in transition with James/Curry also hanging on and the younger generation still without a definite face of the league. He probably believes he can quickly help Wembly turn into that and Spurs into a contender.

Pop is 74
Pete Carroll 72
Dusty Baker 74
Belichick 71
Saban 72

Krzyzewski retired at 74


Ofcourse I disagree with some of Popovich's out spoken views & behavior but he directly helped build what the Spurs brand is today. As long as he isn't hurting Wemby's development, I believe he deserves to call his shots.

[Arcadian]

I thought he was just hanging around for the all time wins record. But since he already accomplished that, not sure what his MO is now.

He very well might have retired if we didn't win the lottery.

Well, now with Wemby I get him hanging around.

Thing is, Pop once said when Duncan retired he would be right behind him. Duncan retired in like 2016 and the Spurs have been pretty bad for most of that so it's been puzzling to me why he has hung around for all that time.

He made a promise to Lamarcus Aldridge to stick around when he signed with the Spurs in 2015. Then Pop's wife died in 2018. Had that not happened I think he would have retired after 2020-21 once Lamarcus had gone to Brookyln but doubt he wants to give up a coaching career to be retired alone. Plus he seems to really love this young team.

Even if Wembanyama turns out be this transcendent superstar, he won't win by himself, just like any other superstar in league history. As of this moment, you don't even have anyone on your team that's even close to looking like a 2nd option on a playoff team.

Coaching that's not senile, the hard task of attracting quality free agents to Fat Antonio, drafting well, potential injuries to a body type that's well documented to be injury prone.

There's too many variables and too much shit that can go wrong.

As you said, he wanted to break the wins record. That was just last year. I suppose he could've retired summer '22, but by then he already knew they had a shot at Wemby.

Don’t know why we’re so obsessed with Baguette Bradley when we all know he’s going to miss 75% of next season with foot and/or knee issues, average 35-40 games played every season before then signing a Supermax and crippling the Spurs cap flexibility while never being healthy.

I think he's going to be a Memphis Pau Gasol level of player imho although how long he'll last at 7'4 or w/e is a huge question mark...borderline All Star, may grab a few All Star selections, but would still need to be a 2nd option for a championship contender. I know this sounds surface level, but the superstar level players usually do have that 'dawg' in them I guess you could say. Mean mugging opponents after made shots, hittin 'the stanky leg' after dunking on people, maybe a few controversial quotes as a rookie to the media to ruffle feathers , etc. Seems a little too 'finesse' for me to think he'll be a guy who's just going to dominate and singlehandedly turn a franchise into a perennial winner by himself imo

Selling high on Murray gave them a good war chest to build with getting three unprotected Atlanta picks when that team is in the lottery.

Spurs can't draft, despite spending the last few seasons deep in the lottery. Their best pick in the last 7 seasons was Dejounte Murray and he's a high end role player at best.

Can't attract top tier free agents, besides the Demar Derozans of the nba, which won't move the needle and Derozan was part of a trade.
So their best free agent signing in franchise history was Lamarcus Aldridge really.

Should have put Pop out of his misery already. Each passing season only improves the chances of Wembanyama pulling a Kawhi.

It also remains to be seen if they can find a suitable replacement for Pop.

Then, there's the question mark surrounding Wembanyama's ability to stay healthy at that height, deep into his prime.



If i had to put a number on it, i'd say:


40% chance Wembanyama bolts

35% he suffers multiple long term injuries

25% the spurs put everything together and ring

[Donald Sterling.]

But op seems content with the team's abysmal play and record, as long as Wembanyama gets his numbers and personal accolades.

So if all he wants from the kid is David Robinson 2.0. I guess everything is alright and there's nothing to worry about.

Getting a player like Dejounte Murray late 1st round is amazing, not sure why that is supposed to be a dig. Then there's Derrick White, Keldon Johnson, who are 20/5/5 guys on bad teams, or 15/4/4 guys on good teams, both of which are amazing finds in the late 1st.

Well, there is hope there for SA as far as the free agent thing goes. These top tier Euros (if Wemby develops into one) are not showing an interest in bolting to NY/Miami/LA at the first sign of adversity like their f@ggy American counterparts...with the f@gs who started that trend all hopefully out of the league soon.

Doncic and Ja are currently in bad situations, Zion struggles to stay in shape and motivated. Wemby needs a team around him. SGA and Chet seem to be on the right path, i'll give you that.

Clippers are the Clippers, 3 perennial playoff chokers, plus a guy who hasn't played over 60 games in 4 years.

Bucks, Celtics and Sixers all have playoff experience and can handle anyone coming out the west not named Nuggets, but even the Nuggets are beatable.

Wemby's minutes up to 30 and suddenly we're beating fools left and right. :reading

[Fat Brandon Bass]

Still just too much of a wildcard to predict tbh. First time we've seen a 7'4 player of this magnitude, nobody knows how the body will hold up playing this style of basketball. Also will he work on his game/consistency in the offseason or will he just coast like Zion? Nobody on ST knows. Right now he's basically 7'4 Perry Jones: Smooth all around game with flashes, but not consistent enough to dominate games or make his team a winner...yet. The question is will he develop that consistent offensive attack that defenses have to gameplan for ala Giannis? Or will he just chill and just be an empty stats guy with cool 10 minute per game YouTube highlights?

Dude, it is clear for anyone that watches his games semiregularly, and knows a bit about ball, that the kid is the real deal. The only possible way for Wemby to not become an MVP level player is injuries. That's it, there's literally no other scenario where he doesn't reach his potential. He has everything: physical tools, skill, IQ, mentality, competitiveness, desire, work ethic.

yeah, because there's no such things as draft busts or anything. Pretty sure every Top 5 draft pick pans out 100% of the time all the time, amirite?

Of course there have been draft busts, but you realize who those are pretty quickly into their rookie seasons: Kwame Brown, Darko Milicic, Anthony Bennet, Scoot Henderson is looking like a huge bust this season. Just like you also realize which rookies are special somwhere within their first season. This is where Wemby lies.

I think yalls problem is that you're just not seeing the kid play. If you did, you would notice what we Spurs fans are saying.

Damn shame that’s something to brag about, guessing the Spurs won’t generally play him more than that throughout the season for fear of his legs shattering.

tbh I (and many others, even some spur fans) see some great potential but also see red flags

you see inevitable 7'4 LeBron/Hakeem/Jordan/Shaq and 10 rings, 10 mvps and absolutely no red flags

yet somehow your view is the only correct one :rollin

Wemby's minutes have been up to 30 on the last 2 or 3 games only.

Other than physical worries (which I already adressed), which red flags do you see?

spurs are 3-13 in games wemby plays 30+ minutes (23% win rate)

7-17 in games he plays <30 minutes (41% win rate)

beating fools left and right :lmao

[DAF86]

Not the same Victor nor Spurs as now. Also, I was trolling, I fully expect the Spurs to keep losing since they are in full tank mode. However, Would you care to elaborate in those red flags?

ill have a serious conversation with a serious poster

you are not a serious poster. you're a loser who consistently gets busted for lying and making up stats to defend his takes, then once he gets outed, falls to the "durhrhrhr I was just joking durhrhr" excuse. you are on par with joey in terms of being someone worth taking seriously.

You won't have a serious conversation with me 'cause you know I'll shit on you. You're a known low BBIQ guy that has to keep posting on an alt account because you are embarassed to post with your original one after so many years of guys shitting on you for your dumbass takes, tbh.

I mean people who were acting like the Spurs were going to win another five rings when they won the lottery were nuts since (1) the West is probably better than it was in the 2000s and (2) no way in hell the Spurs are pulling another Tony Parker at 29 and Manu Ginobili at 59. But Wemby seems to have a monster of a motor, is very cognizant of the kind of injures players his size have typically had and seems to put a lot of work into avoiding them, and has developed into a way better passer than I think most were expecting. His shooting isn't as good as advertised when people were calling him 7'4" Durant and he still makes some dumb rookie mistakes in say his shot selection (loves heat check threes off the dribble) or rushing things, especially when he has a SF on him instead of a big, but so far I think he's better than I was expecting. I was expecting All-NBA level defense but a real mixed bag offensively like we saw the first couple of months of the season. He has gotten so much better about being able to establish and hold position now vs where he began the season when he'd constantly be pushed out to the three point line on the catch and couldn't really punish teams for guarding him with SF when they could push him out of the post. Given his unbelievable defensive skill (I know LOL 70) I can't see him busting unless it's because of injury. Whether he lives up to the enormous hype offensively we'll have to see, but his ballhandling, layup package, ability to run the floor, and already being one of the best lob targets for easy baskets that we have ever seen are pretty encouraging. Still needs work on his jumper and he needs to develop at least a good baby hook in the post (people like to act like Shaq was just a dunker but he was automatic with that hook too) but I think Spurs fans have a lot of good reason to be very excited about him and where he could take the team.

[JamStone]

Busting does seem extremely unlikely. But why does it feel like it’s either MVP generational production or injuries? Can it be somewhere in between? Somewhere in between that’s not necessarily closer to the generational MVP end?

If his career ends up landing in the range between Porzingis and KAT, that wouldn't be a bust but it’s not all world, perennial MVP either. 10 years from now, if he’s essentially been Karl Anthony Towns with more blocks, fewer threes, will be that acceptable to Spurs fans? Will it be disappointing?

[Neo.]

barring injury, I think he will basically be what KP was hoped to be

longevity will be an issue tho, which will hurt his chances at being goat the way people like daf are confidently predicting

Because it is already evident that he will be way more than that. The kid just has "it". I don't have any other way to describe it. You have to see him regularly to realize it.

Different sports but in Wemby I see the same things I saw in Messi and Mahomes when they were coming up: obviously mercurially talented but they were also smart, hard working and leaders. They had an aura about them. Wemby has the same.

Absolutely tbh.

[ambchang]

All honesty Wemby has met or even exceed what I expected out of him in his rookie year. His skills at that size is really incredible. I admit I thought his floor was a Porzingis type of player, and his peak is like a Durant Hakeem hybrid. Based on the first half a season or so, I'd say he has raised his floor and that he will be better than Porzingis by a significant margin.

As for team wins, it is really a FO thing now. People have to realize that with the change in rules, particularly those around zone defence and the reduction in physicality, along with a drastic improvement in shooting at every position, a team will not win anything with only one or two superstars and a bunch of scrubs. We are looking at teams with a couple of superstars and some very competent players surrounding them. Having a guy like an Avery Johnson, BJ Armstrong or a Will Perdue isn't going to net you a ring, opposing team will hunt that mismatch down all game every game and will most definitely exploit it to a level of winning 4 out of 7 games in a series. I personally think it is a better evolution as it allows smart team building to flex it's muscles and small market teams have a chance. Don't get me wrong, the Giannis, Lebrons, Currys, and such are still going to make a huge difference, but the small markets at least have a chance (see Bucks and Denver).

I am really high on Sochan, still, which many of you may clown on, but I see him as a versatile player who can defend multiple positions at least adequately, while providing secondary ball handling and occasional offensive production. The Spurs need upgrades at multiple positions, PG is adequate but most definitely not championship level, Vassell has ways to grow, backup positions are a total mess, Champaigne just isn't a strong starting SF at all, but with Wemby in the lineup, he can erase a lot of mistakes and allow more room for error. My worry is that room for error will be interpreted as the Spurs being actually good enough, only to be exploited in the playoffs, like what David Robinson had to go through back in the 90s, and Garnett and Dirk did at their peaks (or maybe even Doncic now).
