If we’re finding friends for him, let’s definitely make sure it’s Marion Cotillard
We need Isabelle Adjani in silver and black going berserk

Cam Johnson.
Re sign Tre Jones.
if you can get Mike Conley for a decent price go for it.
Besides, NYK wanting to offload Fournier and the Spurs wanting to obtain Fournier are two different things.
Again, wouldn't be surprised if Knicks indeed wanted Evan gone in a roster retool but still not sure that the ship hasn't sailed on Spurs interest which may have been more tantalizing when viewed as a salary dump that came with picks morso than anything they liked about Fournier the player.
Austin Reaves
Don't overpay though
I wouldn't want Fournier because he truly is done as a player, however, Batum is there for the taking. Clippers are already at a $200+ mil payroll for next season and have a lot of players under contract. Batum is on an expiring 11 mil contract and I believe it'd be beneficial for both teams if the Spurs get him into cap space for a second or two, of which they have a ton of spare ones.
Not only would Batum be helping Wemby off the court, but he'd be a useful vet on it as well in a 15-20 minute role.

I like the Batum idea. That would be a nice vet on the team who also plays the right way. I wouldn't want him to play a lot of minutes though
I don’t mind Batum playing a lot of minutes, especially if there isn’t a developmental player behind him. Like, I would rather play him over KBD provided he isn’t washed up.
- Extend Vassell ideally on a descending deal.
- find a Mo Bamba type to compete at C
To add to your examples, I recall Davis Bertans brother being on the summer league team and maybe a brief stint with the Austin Spurs.
Mo bamba probably getting cut by Lakers I thought I heard

Link to an article with a blurb saying that the Spurs’ FA priorities are a veteran PF and a veteran C.
With Collins, Bassey, and then a couple of acquisitions, it seems the priority is to keep Wemby from getting pushed around his rookie year.
If true....Wonder what veteran big man do we bring that will help wemby....my first choice would be lopez...but think hes staying with bucks
Would porzingis make some sense? He can play C with Wemby at PF. Would be incredible spacing and 3 point shooting from our bigs
Most of Porzingas' problems cam from playing center. It took four years after he moved to the perimeter for him to get back up to 65 games.
there is alway Robyn Lopez...
Conley has one year left at 24M (14M guaranteed + the rest 2 days after draft). Not sure what Minny and his intentions are with him since he has a real impact on the team. They traded Russel for him and also got a bunch of SRPs but not sure also what it would take to get him but yeah, Conley would be nice.
In what league does Wemby get to dictate who the defense checks him with? And on what planet is a power forward a perimeter player?
We are not and should not going to ask Wemby to guard Embiid and Davis. He would be much more effective rotating to help another big in that situation. Leverage his shotblocking as opposed to exposing his lack of weight.
Why is no one talking about Poeltl or VanFleet?
my guess is they retain him. there are scenarios where they can get under the cap to try to make a FA signing (and only then re-sign Reaves using bird rights and taking advantage of his tiny cap hold), but even if they release both non-guaranteed guys, and renounce everyone else including Russell and Hachimura, the most cap space they can generate for free agents is something in the range of 26 mil or so, which isnt going to be enough to sign a Kyrie or anything like that. at which point, they're probably just better off staying above the cap, retaining Hachimura, Beasley, Bamba, and figuring out what they want to do with Russell
that convos been dead for a while, but a few posters, including chinook and myself, have floated the idea of going after Poeltl or Brook Lopez. not to mention, timvp had previously reported that the spurs were pretty hesitant to move poeltl because they thought he'd be a great fit with Wemby, so we know the brass likes the idea as well. while hes a FA and fair game, if the spurs do go after and land poellt, i wonder if there will be whispers around the league that the spurs and poeltl somewhat pre-arranged it
personally not a fan of vanvleet though
I believe Porzingas would be a great pickup for the Spurs. He can play PF or C position depending on whether Wembanyama is on the floor or not. There is only a few players in the league that are actual bangers at the C position so I don’t think playing limited minutes at C would be an issue too much. Also would go past having twin towers to skyscrapers in the lineup so we could funnel drives into the lane where 2 7’3+ guys are waiting. He can mentor Wembanyama in the unicorn way since he was dubbed the first unicorn and just give him advice. With his ability to score in the post and mid range but also space the floor out to the 3 point line would help open the floor up while also allowing Wembanyama to come along slowly and not be the focal scorer all the time.

I figure Poeltl makes a lot of sense too. And looking more VanFleet cannot shoot so hard pass.
shooting is probably the thing he does best. his percentage is low, but on the raptors he was kind of a chucker, never seeing a shot he didnt like. in a different situation/role, he'd probably be much more efficient. his shot selection from 3 actually looks quite a bit like what we saw out of devonte graham. the problem is he used to also be a pesky defender, but he doesnt bring that to the table anymore.
I have a feeling the spurs will show interest in Nikola Vucevic tbh seems like a move they’d make
