Some of the best news we have received all off-season.
I'm taking the old school LMA off-season approach...
KJ no longer playing the 4 full time would be a huge W.
My All-excitement lineup on paper, (at this stage) would probably be Wesley, Vassell, KJ, Sochan and Roby.
Some of the best news we have received all off-season.
Great for it to be officially said
Vassell moves down to the 2

Primo playing with Tre in those videos
Sochan playing with Vassell
Keldon playing with Poeltl, Sochan
Langford with McD
It’s practice. Kuhse playing them also. Not that deep.
The players seem to think it does.
We didn't miss a shot
Start of season rotation probably:
Tre/ Wesley/ Hall
Vassell/ JRich/ Branham
Keldon/ Primo/ Wieskamp
McDermott/ Roby/ Sochan/ KBD
Poeltl/ Collins/ Dieng/ Barlow
End of season rotation probably:
Wesley/ Tre/ Hall
Vassell/ JRich/ Branham
Keldon/ Primo/ Wieskamp
Sochan/ Roby/ McDermott/ KBD
Poeltl/ Collins/ Dieng/ Barlow

You're overestimating Wesley's performance in the summer league.
You legit see Poeltl and JRich here at the end of the season? That would seem to be a missed opportunity for picks. Two opportunities.
My end of season rotation doesn’t account for trades and players could very well be gone
I see JRich and McD as the likeliest candidates to be gone to open up minutes for Primo, Branham
Poeltl stays tbh
I could be wrong, but I’ve had a lot of stuff right. Many things people are saying now are only catching up to what I said months before.
Primo probably starts and the offense is more handoff centric like Boston. What we see on the video mostly.
Pop sees Keldon as a natural 3 is great. The reason Keldon shedding 21 lbs to get faster. This is great news for ST
Tre winning all his matches only suggest he could be the best PG we have and should get the start, for now. Interesting who gets the starting gig by the end of the season. Is Primo a PG?
Seeing McD at starting 4 is frustrating. He’s not our best defensive 4, and doesn’t help Poeltl stay with his man. I rather see Sochan at starting 4 along with Poeltl.
I would hate to see Poeltl go if Poeltl/Sochan click.
KJ and Vassell having most leap. Vassell will be a beast at 2. So stoke right now!
Primo getting stronger and playing more physical. It only makes sense.
Zollins, Roby who gets more burn? I think this hurts KBD a lot though. Barlow definitely plays a lot in Austin.
A lot of Debbie downers on ST. But I see a very exciting young, long athletic roster with great future ahead. Can’t wait to see what they got.
Watching that video again, and Devin noticeably bigger. 6’7 shooting guard at 22. I kept remembering when Pop gave Kobe tapes to Kawhi. I really like this kid, size, length, natural game, high arch, hangs in air.
I think Tre will not easily give that starting gig up. He has a lot of fight in him, very high bball iq deceptively athletic. I wish TP could come and show how to finish under the rim with his spin moves and tear drops.
Starters: Tre, Devin, Keldon, Sochan, Poeltl
2nd group: Primo, Malaki/Joe, J-Rich, McBuckets, Zollins/Toby
Not bad at all.
KBD I think wins the last spot over Langford. You really can’t have enough mobile bigs. I really want to see what Langford can do though, but yeah I don't see a lot of him and must be on his way out, while KBD has been really good around the guys. Hard to move McBuckets with his contract without attaching a pick which Spurs desperately need, maybe find a way to keep Langford.
I think Wesley will be probably better served spending a fair chunk of the season working on his game, away from the spotlight. He has tremendous potential, but a lot to work on, especially finishing which is atrocious. I fear that throwing him on an NBA court too soon might get in the way of his development, falling back into what he knows/does instead of what he needs to do in order to be successful in the long term. That's why I'd like to take a slower approach with him, unlike Sochan or Branham who I see as more fundamentally polished players who will benefit from playing in the NBA right away. If things go well he could come off the bench on the latter part of the season. I wouldn't want to burn him by giving him too much responsibility prematurely.
Devin offensive game has always reminded me of a smaller Scottie Pippen.
Branham gonna force Pop to give him more minutes than most of you think.
@ Manu’s photo of him watching Malaki closely
really hope his role expands within the org
Every year it seems he spends more and more time with the Spurs. He really wants the team to be successful again.
I am glad the big 3 didn’t just move on and have nothing to do with the team. There was a lot of class, humility from that era that needs to spill over to this next era. the primadonna players these days. This will hopefully give way for the next Spurs’ guy to be more like Giannis or Curry than bags like Irving, Harden.

Nice work timvp
I find the part about Keldon becoming a “perimeter playmaker” interesting.
