    If you've been following the breadcrumbs that timvp has been dropping for the last 5 years, it sounds like Wright was the one who called Kawhi a "pussy" during that whole ordeal and soured that relationship tbh
    Sounds like the Wright man for the job

    Man it’s been several days and I still find myself reliving the moment. My eyes closed, calling out the teams’ names as I magically guessed the last 4 picks… cringing not wanting to hear the Spurs name called.. and one by one.. “and the 2nd pick goes to… the Charlotte Hornets.” Woooahhhhh!!! Hahaha Spurs got 1st pick!!!! Haha. Wemby!!

    What did the little kid say? He seemed especially happy it was the Spurs.

    Gotta draft him in a few years, tbh.
    "It was sure it was the Spurs!" (repeats twice)

    Confirms that Wemby told them he had a feeling about the Spurs wining the lottery

    So he's ultimately responsible for getting Wemby?

    Fantastic!

    Checking in after a while away. I mean, I still watched to keep the International contingent going, but there didn't seem like much point trying to think through options for le contention with a DeMar led group pre tank job.

    Pardon my ignorance, but how do rookie contracts work? Do they always sign for one year initially? When will Victor have a chance to leave?

    Honestly in this era, superstar player can just demand to leave at any point.

    Two years guaranteed, years 3 and 4 are team options. He can sign an extension after year 3 that kicks in after year 4. If he doesn’t do that, he’s a restricted FA after year 4, but we can match any offer.

    According to NBA insider Marc Stein, the young phenom will have the benefit of learning from a Hall of Famer, as Tim Duncan is expected to work with Wembanyama upon his arrival in San Antonio:
    "At the behest of longtime Spurs patriarch Gregg Popovich, Tim Duncan agreed to join Pop's coaching staff for the 2019-20 campaign interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. That one season was enough for Duncan to reaffirm what many suspected and what he surely already knew—full-time coaching isn't for him—but the expectation is that he will regularly visit the team's practice facility to work with Wembanyama when the Spurs are home."

    Q: What about the lottery and SA getting the first pick ?

    Victor: It's been months that i was telling myself nevermind the franchise where i will go, it'll be OK. And if the franchise that drafts me isn't in a good situation, i would try to make it better. But i had a very strong feeling that it would be San Antonio.

    Q: And about the draft itself ?

    Victor: Well, i think about it of course but it seems a little bit unreal right now.

    Q: In the playoffs, right now, we see a lot of crazy performances every night (tatum, butler, jokic....). What do you think about it and what is your pronostic for these playoffs ?

    Victor: well, i won't lie, at first, i was thinking about the bucks winning it all. but now, ...blah blah blah ... a lot of good teams ... blah blah blah,.... i see the lakers doing well...

    Q: Does it inspire you ? Do you envision yourself next year ?

    Victor: Of Course. I'm telling myself i belong there. It's so beautiful to see that. It's so aerial, it goes so fast. But, well, it's no surprise, that's what i want since i was a kid.

    Q: What about the three last MVPs ? They are your direct compe ion (playing at your position).

    Victor: It speaks a lot about the evolution and improvement of the game. A player can be dominant technically and mentally, but we see that he'll dominate even more with 4 more inches. They are all bigs.

    Well, that's it. Honestly, the questions from Mahinmi were lame and the rythm of the interview was weird. Nothing very interesting to take from this. Interviewer seems to be a real job after all.

    1st off I didnt recognized him straight away but its Yan Mahinmi interviewing VW!

    He basically confrmed he had a feeling about the Spurs drafting him for months, but would have been ready whatever the destination, that it was up to him to make the best of what destiny gave him, that he believes he has a "lucky star" (not a quote juste gobal translation)
    He was asked about the last 3 MVPs being direct compe ors/same profile and agreed that BB was changing (for the better he thinks), that whatever talent and technic u have, size is a massive advantage.
    He was asked about PO prognostics and had the Bucks wining it all and no has the Lakers...
    +some small talk about Spurs fans in Africa (VW seemed surprised there are)

    Team do him right, no need to worry.
    France loves the Spurs and if they can enhance that...
    He's embracing that moment.

    It's on San An to make sure they don't F it up.
    He'll be here if Brian can work some magic and the lure of LA, et al, will be moot because he will want to lay his legacy upon the team that the French has planted it's foundation upon the NBA.
