Spurs finally get a Canadian White big man on the roster. Don't think we've ever had one of those tbh. And he just so happens to look like a stoner. I'm all in.

My aversion to white guys with headbands does not apply to Olynyk. The long hair give him a 70's skateboarder/surfer vibe.
We will matchup with the 2 big teams so much better now. His IQ is high. He really punishes defenses for mistakes.
He and Sochan will be nice disruptors.

He's only the third Canadian Spur I can think of. CJ and Joel Anthony being the other two.

Khem Birch as well, though he never actually even reported to the team as far as I know, despite being on the roster for like 6 months.

Love this move! Always thought Lunch Lady would make a great Spur but had lost hope... now he's ours!
Love our C depth all of a sudden!
Though I though tit was wild when we had two open roster spots... and now we have 3. Do we just fill them with scrubs or does Brian have something else working?!?

Not to mention two pretty middle-sized expiring contracts in Barnes (19 mills) and Olynyk (13 mills)..Could be a set-up for a deadline trade?

Doesn't even need to be a deadline trade... if I understand correctly KO can be re-routed within the next two months? I'm not positive if he can be aggregated and re-routed though.
Is Lunch Lady technically part of the Derrick White trade tree?

I think his passing is really underrated and he can handle as well. Should fit pretty nice next to Wemby, he'll throw him some lobs. As others have mentioned he shot 60% from the cornes, although he's a low volume shooter.

Olinyk and Kornet for malaki, blake and mamu is pathetic. If you add that carter looks like a lock for austin, you basically got a lot older and injury prone so that you can get dunked on more consistently. Add to that that we have the worst coach in the league and the atmosphere is suddenly bleak despite having amazing luck in the draft.

Olynyk replicates a lot of what Mamu brought (shooting and passing for a big) but he is actually battle proven and has played for winning teams in playoff situations.
malaki was out of the rotation already. blake was a situational rotation player (who i liked) who was going to be even less utilized with the addition of Harper (and a healthy Fox). there was no real loss with those, even if i would have personally liked hanging onto wesley on a cheap deal as an end of bench guy.
the spurs were hilarious weak defensively when wemby was off the floor. kornet is a very good rim protector and a smart offensive player. he will help a lot. backup C had been a glaring need for 2 years now.
it was not the most aggressive offseason by any stretch, but they were already very aggressive at the deadline with the Fox trade. i would have loved to see keldon get moved but i dont think other teams wanted to take on 2 years of keldon, and i cant blame them

meh.. i can totally see why they made the moves, and i fully expect the team to have multiple players missing most of the season.. signing over the hill bigs is rarely a good idea.

An underrated aspect of this trade is adding another bench player that can get under opposing players skins. Spurs are forming a nice little bench Goon Squad between the giant body of Luke Kornet, the troll that is Jeremy Sochan, The Lunch Lady Enforcer Kelly Olynyk, and Big Body Keldon Johnson. It’s not going to happen but Chris Paul would work perfectly with these 4 lol

No, Paul would ruin the balance and they’d turn on each other. Besides, this is a round table Goon Squad not a hierarchical one

Haha just saying. Nah I’m happy with CB at 14. But I think Wolf could’ve been had with #38 plus future picks (whatever). I really like this kid’s high IQ and passing. And I think his defense was overly underrated. I really enjoyed watching Michigan this year, reminded me a lot of Spurs somewhat.

The low jersey number revolution continues!
We just need someone to take #0 and every possible non-retired jersey number below 12 would be represented.
#0 - ???
#1 - Wembanyama
#2 - Harper
#3 - Johnson
#4 - Fox
#5 - Castle
#7 - Kornet
#8 - Olynyk
#10 - Sochan
#11 - Bryant
#14 - Flagler (guess)
#19 - Potter (guess)
#24 - Vassell
#25 - Jones-Garcia (guess)
#27 - Minix
#30 - Champagnie
#40 - Barnes
#43 - Waters (guess)
#55 - Ingram
Any word on what number McLaughlin will wear? He had #11 last year but that's taken now. Maybe he can be the one to take #0 and complete the set.

Flagler is listed on the Spurs website as #14, so we have 1-14 covered (since 12 and 13 are also retired numbers).
Saw elsewhere that if Fox and Castle would switch numbers, then our Top 4 guys who have jersey numbers that matched their draft positions.
