There’s some okay-ish guys at PG to take a flyer on in this free agency but I almost think it’s better just to ride with Tre Jones, Wesley, and maybe use 33 on a combo guard
What is Wemby's three point % when you take out all the BS heat check "exploring the studio space" crossover step back one legged threes with 10+ seconds on the shot clock?
Looks to me like his percentage is dragged down from him whack youthful shot selection, shooting whenever and however he wants.

davis won a championship with the lakers in 2020 starting alongside dwight howard
its not that uncommon for players to come into the league and not be great/efficient shooters right away. things you typically will look at are the shooting stroke and FT% as indicators of potential growth there. and even then, it often comes down to a question of work ethic (like sochan/kawhi)
wemby has a very smooth, repeatable shooting motion with a great release point, follow through, etc. and he hits over 80% of his FTs
Would y'all be interested in taking on Fournier for a season to get Wemby a fellow Frenchmen on the roster? He's not a FA but I'm sure the Knicks would love dumping him
Veteran shooter and, like I said, a fellow Frenchman. Wemby might appreciate SA looking to add french vets to help guide him in his first season
if its basically a dump and we're not giving anything notable up, sure, though i wonder if we can make more effective use of that cap space. we werent able to make much of it last year, maybe some better luck this season
He speaks English probably better than most of the people on this board.
I would think they want to dump his salary so it probably wouldn't take much especially since we can just absorb him into space and he has a team option in '25. I just don't think the Spurs are going to do with their cap space again, which is fine, but if not then adding a French vet to the roster might not be a bad idea.
I'd take him if NY is paying us enough in draft picks...
Fournier is only 18.8MM next season now (23-24), the 19MM for 24-25 is team option
So Evan is no longer the contractual burden that would necessitate additional draft capital to incentivize a trade and therefore not really worth it unless you just really like Fournier the player without picks as a sweetener and I don't know if SA views Evan as that kind of a difference maker enough to want to do that deal.
In fact NYK might keep Fournier now that he is essentially an expiring and as such, a valuable asset at the deadline.
NY will want to make moves and they'll need to unload him to do so, most likely in a 3 team deal with the team getting Fournier also getting a 1st and only sending back cap space.
We assuming they're best buddies because they're French? Why don't we sign Marion Cotillard or Isabelle Huppert?
Indeed if NYK is moving stuff around a bit I could see Fournier on the trade block then. Good call.
I mean Evan def does still seem like dead weight just not as much financially now that his contract has proceeded through the bulk of it. Just feel like at least the financial urgency of it has receded but that's not the full picture of it team fit wise.
I could actually see Sochan and Wemby getting along pretty well. I also assume that the team will bring in some French players, especially onto the SL team and maybe in camp. Whether it's Tim's friends, Tony's and Manu's national team teammates, Kawhi's college buddy or even Keldon's brother, the Spurs have a tradition of catering to their top players I don't expect the Spurs to feel compelled to bring over some old-ass French dude Wemby's probably never spoken to. But there are likely guys on the various teams he's played on that show some inkling of potential. Like less than Bilal. Those are the likely guys who'd be on in the system right now, and as everyone matures, we'll see a few others get tryouts and two-ways over the years.
I was thinking Frank Ntilikina as an ally for Wemby in the spurs jk or am I? Lol
I find it bizarre but kind of cute that you guys are trying to find friends for Wemby like it's his first day at kindergarten.
Well he is just a kid moving across the world…
Maybe they can bring Kylian Mbappe over for a play date. They can play Legos and have peanut butter sandwiches with the crusts cut off.
Anthony Davis isn’t a shot creator. He needs the ball fed to him in his spots.
todays nba is not about centers and big men playing like big men…
the rules have been changed to help offensive players score and score and score
yes, wemby will block shots and intimidate in the paint but he will not limit himself to old nba - big man must stay in the paint and not continue to develop his overall game
i do think - by all accounts- he is aiming for dominance and he is absolutely trying to be a durant type offensive player- he said it himself and he watches film of durant all the time according to him
I would argue that the 4 most dominant players right now are Jokic, Giannis, Embiid and Davis. All players that make most of their damage inside.
i guess we will see…
giannis is a ty shooter tbh
davis is a choker and soft as baby poop
embiid is great until he gets infected with the chris paul annual playoff injury
joker is probably better all around right now
