Colins isn't soft.
I'm old enough to remember winnning the rights to David Robinson, so I've seen alot of basketball. That's why I say the following:
Yes, Wemby is a generational talent. If he stays healthy, he will be KG/Giannis/Durant all rolled into one.
But, he's so damn thin. He can't bulk up too much, because it would produce too much stress on his lower body, especially the hips, lower back and knees. The track record for players over 7 feet tall who stayed relatively healthy their careers is thin. Players over 7'2? Very few. Yao Ming, Porzingas, Ralph Sampson, these players had similar body style to Wemby, and they all had health issues.
We need to preserve Wemby's body as much as we can. WE NEED A PHYSICAL ENFORCER.
Like what Charles Oakley did for Jordan. Lambeer did for the Isiah Thomas. Xavier Mcdaniel did for Ewing. Jared Dudley did for whoever he played with. (He just likes to fight. Youtube him, its funny as )
Antonio Davis did for Reggie. And to some extent, what Dillon Brooks and Draymond are doing in today's game.
Big, bruising players who can intimidate opposing teams who think they can go after Wemby. And trust me, the whole league will try. Eveyrone will try to be the first person to dunk on Wemby.
Sochan has potential to be an enforcer, but he has a bigger role to play. I think Drew Eubanks would do well in this role. Serge Ibaka perhaps. Pat Bev?
We have too many softies on our team right now.
But damn, think about it. If done correctly, Wemby can be Kevin Durant on offense and Rudy Gobert on Defense all rolled into one.
We need a physical enforcer now to protect Wemby.
Colins isn't soft.
Sochan will pinch nipples
Tp on the bench
He would stand up for him !
Does he not like pussy ?
neither sochan nor collins are soft. sure we dont have a big brutish oaf like charles oakley but thats not necessary
My pet idea is to back up a truck for Poeltl to steal him back from Toronto. Something huge like $80M/3. A weakened Raptors increases the odds of the pick conveying, and Jakob would be a good fit. By the time the Spurs truly need cap space, Jakob would be done with his deal.
Realistically, giving Brooke Lopez a contract could make sense. Lopez is on the downside of his career, but he knows how play the right way and also has experience playing stretch-five next to a dynamic PF. He could be a bridge while the Spurs look for a long-term solution.
Not a huge fan of a trade for Ayton or especially Gobert (there's an RGMer who's obsessed with pitching that). The Spurs don't need a great C now. But they should shore up that position, because guys like Collins and Bassey aren't inspiring much confidence.
Bassey is going to get some time and he has a physical presence. As far as a chippy asshole type, that's Collins.
Yeah, Collins might be the best choice on the current roster. Sochan can't because we need him on the floor.
That’s not a thing today.
Collins wouldn't think twice about knocking someone to the ground. Sochan will just get into people's heads.
Collins Bassey and Sochan will be fine
really like those first 2 options tbh
a little confused by your wording re raptors pick conveying. its top 6 protected. weakening them too much could mean they hold their pick. unless you mean it increases the odds of a GOOD pick conveying (ie getting the #13 pick from them instead of the #23 pick from them)
i wouldnt mind ayton but dno what his price tag looks like from a trade perspective. saw somebody floated a cpe/keldon based trade. could so somethin big

Yeah, I meant increases the odds of the pick being good. I don't think there's a ton of chance a Raptors team even in freefall would not convey their pick over the next two years. But this would improve it.
Wemby will play SF/PF. While Sochan or Keldon will get Wemby’s guy on defense, Vassell helping also. Yup Wemby will be well-protected
Sure, but getting someone to be a real center could be really helpful so that Wemby and Sochan don't have to play it in bad situations. I don't think Collins is a horrible person to put there for a year -- especially a year where the Spurs might still want to lose. He knows they system and can space the floor. But more than PG I would like to see that position addressed this off-season. Kind of makes me wish the Spurs had snagged Mark Williams last year.
Correct
This w is kk team called the bad boys
League is soft now and woke
Think Lambeer could still handle it ?
Lopez would be nice. The idea is to help teach and protect wemba until he is ready. Lopez likely wouldn't be in the team once it's contention time.
Collins and Bassey will play that role well. Wemby will be protected with others playing the heavy guys on defense.
They've been planning for this opportunity and preparing for a couple years at the minimum. Spurs won't let another kawhi situation happen. Wemby will be catered too.
or walker kessler at 20
Kevin Love? He brings veteran leadership. I always thought he’s a Spur in another team uniform.
I don't think of Love as a strech-five though. I would want someone who could do his job on defense while given Wemby and the other Spurs free reign on offense. I'd almost prefer Blake Griffin if we're talking about role-playing former star PFs.
Someone like Mason Plumlee to grab rebounds and box out other players would be good
Wemby is David Robinson part 2 and just as soft,,,,
