Shut him down and get him ready for next season. Good for the tank.
Rest till next season, pay the man

Good for the tank I suppose but not something I’m too excited about either, being fairly young.
Big fan of Vassell and definitely Spurs would win more games if he delayed the surgery. We need this to keep the tank going.
Like Keldon the year before, Dev made a major leap this year. It’s awesome. Get him healthy and this team is looking very bright as long as Sochan does not bust completely. Vassell/Keldon/Sochan is a tremendously solid upside and young core ready to compete if you can land right pieces beside them. I am excited by what I have seen from them.
Seeing Vassell actually make the leap, like Keldon and seeing Sochans flashes (while still having Jak?)? Makes losing Primo no biggie to me…Spurs are definitely setup and have done damn well in the draft when it matters.
Losing primo is still big. You dont just punt lottery picks after a year but it is what it is
They punted a lottery pick the moment they drafted him lol
I’m talking basketball wise. It was big in terms of news and questions it raises but I never saw what SA did in Primo personally. Devin / Keldon / Vassell were always way more important to teams future than Primo IMVHO
Keldon and Devin are just as likely to be punted for future draft capital as they are to be part of our next playoff appearance. The are borderline NBA starters.
Nah. I mean, sure they may be traded but they have extremely solid value and are CLEAR starters with potential for even more.
assuming primo flops sure. Apparently he'd rather flash his junk then improve his actual game
Yeah, I think their future -- Vassell and KJ -- are as likely to be anywhere else but the Spurs. I'd be very surprised to see more than a couple of players currently on the team still on the team in three or four years.
They have trade value but are only clear starters on bad teams. Even than could easily be beat out. Easily replceable.

The Spurs' release yesterday did not give a timetable for Devin Vassell's return from knee surgery. Clarified today the team does expect him to return at some point this season. "I'm thinking maybe a little after All-Star break," Pop says.
That’s good news as on the nature of the injury. But I rather they shut him down and help with the tank.

they wont shut him down. With our luck theyll beat detroit too
I'm more pessimistic on the KJ/Devin/Sochan core. It's a group still in need of a leader. I posted this in another thread, but to me it really isn't that more exciting than the 1988-89 young core of Alvin Robertson, Willie Anderson, Johnny Dawkins, and Greg Anderson.
Of course in 1988-89, you knew you had David Robinson arriving the following year and you knew you'd have another high pick as well (which they used on Sean Elliott, then wisely moved some of the "young core" for a solid vet in Terry mings to have a contending lineup in DRob/Sean's rookie year).
Maybe Devin or Sochan emerges as that alpha, but I'm not seeing it yet.
Seriously. Sochan is the only one who possess long term starter potential due to his versatility and he has a far ways to go. Guys like KJ and DV are a dime a dozen in today’s NBA.
If you just look at teams that tank, history says that the players you start tanking with are rarely on your team when you start to actually be good.
Between Keldon and Devin I'd be surprised if both are still on this team 3 years from now. I'd leaned more toward the Spurs keeping Devin since he is a more complete player than Keldon is. If the spurs get a nice offer for Keldon he is going to be out of here on some "he to good to be on a tanking team" like they dude with Dejounte.

Pop says there is a loose target date for Devin Vassell to return from knee surgery: March 2 at home against Indiana, the Spurs' first game back from the Rodeo Road Trip.

Devins career seems to be circling the drain right now. Red alerts everywhere with this knee.
Pop is holding otherwise healthy players out with magical injuries, and extending recovery times to aid the tank. Devin probably could have played on the RRT. He will be just fine.
Keep him out!!
