Bye Wemby... bye Scoot...

Kid is sick
What if the team has reason to believe Silver will punish them for the Primo thing and strip them of their 1st round pick and that's why they're not trying to tank now, winning these games they normally shouldn't be trying to win?
You don't have to rub it in Ace
Don't look now, but the Thunder/Pacers/Jazz all won tonight, over playoff teams and perhaps darkhorse contenders (Mavs/Nets/Grizz).
Are these teams dumb for not losing on purpose?
It's like the good teams want our fellow tankers to get some W's and have to earn the ticket to Wembayana.
All three games are unbelievable on their own. For all three to happen on the same night is astonishly unexpected.
And Hornets looked like butt their last game and end up punking Golden State. A great night in the association!
I don't see how the team could be punished when Primo did that on his own.
Wembanyama looks like he's going to get hurt exactly like Chet Holmgren got hurt.
How in the can they take a away a draft pick? What are you on about. Primo did whatever he did, not the Spurs. The Spurs lost/wasted a draft pick in 2021 because of Primo. Why in the f$@* should the NBA take one away?
Spurs need to tank hard like they tanked for TD.
It's what the NFL did to the Texans in the aftermath of the DeShaun Watson matter when it was clear the organization had been notified of complaints of sexual requests by him.
They paid out millions, in addition to Watson, to settle with multiple women. They were also bsnned from last year's draft in 2021.
If it ever becomes clear there was knowledge of prior allegations at the organizational level and they failed to act, one could easily see Silver pulling a future pick or two from us.
The league didn’t do anything with the Flakers when Kobe went back door on that girl
Seriously, can the Spurs just call up their entire G league team to play in their place for the rest of the season because this team ain't tanking for shi..!
League is going to be screwed when the Lakers have to give New Orleans the number 1 pick, and NO can pair Wemb with Zion.
Wemb with Zion will be the top 10 of all time duo…
in games missed due to injury
What prospects should we be following for pick 29?
No . Our bench is surprisingly VERY DEEP. Collins and Richardson and McBucket abd KBD and Dieng and Langford are all quite skilled at something. The rooks, at least to date, look perfectly at home and not out of their league. To me, in addition to Sochan, the bench is the reason this team is not going to come even close to Wembanyama. they might not make the lottery which I would have almost put my life on before the season. Truly astounding turn of events. And all probably not a positive thing for this franchise at the end of the day.
No way we are getting a top 3 pick
I am not sold on Wembenyama for one reason alone. Really tall players always have injury problems that severely limit their careers. I mean look at Chet. That is what worries me about tanking to get only a 14% shot at getting such a player.
Not always. The #1 scorer in League history and Victor Wembanyama are both 7'2" And Wembanyama scores way more on his outside jumpshot than Kareem ever did.
He's generational. It's pure stupidity not to try for him, especially if you probably could with a couple of trades and rotation choices. This team is most probably not winning championships anytime soon without a player like him.
The guy is a generational talent - you can try to spin it anyway you want.
It’s not just the Pelicans. Clippers and Thunder also have a pick swap. Kawhi is doing his weird “it hurts I can’t play” shtick again - Thunder might be on their way to getting a great pick.
Pretty much. He's already had slight issues. We saw how a basic bump from a muscular player put Holmgren out for the season.
Wembanyama might be injury prone by virtue of his height and build, but his frame is larger than Chet's which could indicate he'll be able to put on at least some muscle, and a smart team could protect him from more physical matchups, manage his minutes. His skill level is jaw dropping and he's very comfortable on the perimeter, so even if there is an increased risk, it's still a worthy gamble. And if not, trade to no. 2 and pick up a lot of assets plus Scoot, who is another phenomenal prospect in his own right.
I remember how when our draft position was slipping last year people managed to tag the 2022 draft class as weak, which seemed ridiculous to me because I saw a very deep class with a lot of interesting prospects even down the board... well, it seems as our hopes of landing a top pick next year are dwindling, the same scenario is playing out again but now with the 2023 draft class... Downplaying the top prospects in the upcoming class reeks of sour grapes. Let's not be that obvious.
