I guess it will be 0-21 if we did not manage to draft Wemby and end up with Miller, Henderson or the Thompson twin :lol

Not that font of Sarr. He's not really a 4 at all, so we're drafting a backup C at the top of the draft? He also did crappy in the gleague last year, and isn't exactly lighting up the NBL. I'm much more team Risacher.

I hear you. I can't help but feel like this is another tank year. One poster summed it up when he described that it looks like players are trying to impress or make the team. I don't think there is a real effort to coach for wins right now. I think it is a coach to test individuals and see what can be squeezed out of people and figure out who will stay and who will go while giving Wemby learning experience. I think the team goal is to tank and draft a PG this year.

Good news:

Spurs won the fucking lottery and got wemby!

Wemby is healthy and reliable, only missed 1 game through a quarter of the season and it was just rest on a back to back

Wemby is who we thought he was. Looking like the real deal especially on defense

Dev leveled up and could be a key piece on an eventual contender

Spurs have padded Ls for another high value draft pick and several talented prospects await Spurs expected selection range

Hall of Fame coaching and meticulous front office loaded with cap space, available mins and future draft capital to custom design the future talent roster special tailored to wemby's game

The future is bright for Spurs fans so keep watching, dry your tears, pull your diapers up, and be patient like a real true fan.

Is he a better fit than Isaiah Collier PG USC? Your post had me wondering who is coming out next year and Collier and Sarr were at the top of the list. Sarr a 7-1 center to protect Wemby but Collier is an elite pass first PG so I was intrigued.

Collier does one thing: barrel to the hoop. His passing is awful, and his shooting, not much better. That combination is bad for a guard.

Can't believe he deferred all but $20 million to 2034-43 without interest. Dodgers got him way below his market value. I get taking less to ensure you have a team around you after all the losing he suffered in Anaheim but never seen anyone take a paycut like that. Hopefully the Dodgers can pull Yamamoto too now.

This is going to be exhausting if we have to start arguing over who is better before the calendar has even flipped. Most definitely not good news.

It's insane. Baseball is so broken tbh. I think the Dodgers are going to paying a combined 80mil to Ohtani and Betts when they're like 55 :lol

the deferments are funny as fuck

in the nba we talk about how lebron leaves teams in shit condition since he basically orders them to trade all assets for vets to help win now, then he leaves and the team is stuck with crusty vets and no real future plan.

the deferments are the same thing. shoh doesnt care about fucking over dodgers future budgets :lol

Ohtani taking a big paycut without interest is nothing but an enormous positive for the Dodgers. It's not like it's going to count against their luxury tax number in 2034-43, it counts now as like $38 million a season for the next 10 years.

Became a Dodger fan mostly because of watching guys like Pedro Martinez and Mike Piazza back when they were in double-A when the SA Missions were a Dodger farm team, but also because I got to watch a couple innings of a Missions game hanging out with Sandy Koufax when I was a kid. Then of course living in LA and getting to go to the games for years later on.

Experimenting Sochan at PG developed more his ballhandling and passing skills, also overall play and bball iq, while “tanking” for high draft pick

Wemby is who Spurs fan envisioned him to be and more. His maturity is beyond his years and he understands that it’s a long process instead of getting swept by the circus media. He has the perfect composure and says the right things. Wemby is the perfect guy both as a player and personality to rebuild.

The Spurs fans should feel lucky that the Spurs PATFO is who they got to make sure the rebuild will be implemented properly, not succumbing to pressure of meaningless wins but slowly but surely developing. Any other coach would be pressure to prove himself now, and not the long-term success of the franchise. The Spurs are facing a possibility of drafting 2 lottery picks and not just one, to surround Wemby in years to come, instead of signing older Vets to help win but are not on the same timeline.

I watch not for the record but to see individual plays. And come draft day, Spurs will yet again adding lottery picks. GSG!

I'd like to add that our draft picks this year are gonna be great. We could get a big & pointguard for the future. Maybe even get Zacharie & a pg if Wemby is our center of the future.

He's making every bit of $40+ million off the field in advertising dollars alone. This is no paycut. If anything all he's done is increase his off field income by raising his stature by playing for a team that doesn't have to pay him they can spend like drunken sailors now likely winning multiple rings and becoming even more of a demand/draw for other outside endeavors.

You might want to consider the possible implications of inflation. Even at 2%, deferring things 10 years is like getting 80 cents on the dollar. I don't think inflation is going back to 2% anytime soon...
