We need a physical enforcer now to protect Wemby. Current Spurs are too soft.

Don't know how he is as a teammate, but Drummond would be a good fit as a bench big/enforcer. Also would be a great mentor for Bassey, who should pattern his game off being Drummond with extended range.

[scott]

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.

Technically, an over-weaked Raptors decreases, not increases, the odds of the pick conveying. not very worried about this one though unless they suddenly decided to go full rebuild out of nowhere.

A weakened Raptors DECREASE the chances of the pick conveying, but INCREASE the value of the pick:

Slot	Conveys
1	0,00 %
2	0,00 %
3	7,02 %
4	18,93 %
5	36,05 %
6	54,15 %
7	68,04 %
8	73,69 %
9	79,72 %
10	86,12 %
11	90,59 %
12	92,88 %
13	95,21 %
14	97,59 %
15+	100,00 %

barring a siakam injury, even a raptors team that loses poeltl would probably not be picking top 7

I remember Willis and Massenburg.
Massenburg was a scary dude

[Excessive Egotist]

We're fine with Collins and Barlow. The Poeltl idea is enticing, tho. He is a perfect fit. Grant Williams? In terms of the draft, Zack Edey probably can't defend in space, but using our late SRP on him makes some sense.

He was 6'9" of skull and muscle.

I like the idea of Poeltl. We already know how he fits, and I don't think Collins (who I also do like) is so great that it precludes you from going after another center. Don't hate the idea behind Grant Williams either.

[The Truth #6]

Oscar Tshiebwe from Kentucky? Phenomenal rebounder. May go undrafted. Worth a camp invite.

Steven Adams

Steven Adams

Yes this!

I have been thinking of making a thread about him wondering why noone has mentioned trying to get him. Adam's would be perfect to have around when the other team tries to bully wemby. He also would be great to have around him in practice to help Wemby get used to the physicality of the NBA and a great mentor for him(from what I understand he is well loved by his teammates and a good locker room guy).

I honestly don't think the asking price would be to high from the Grizzlies .

[K...]

Collins is perfect. Don't overthink this.

There is plenty of room to add another rotation big. I would hope the spurs could have a rotation of two good centers rather than keeping bassey and Barlow around. If that additional big is better then collins,.ccool, if they're worse also cool.

If the spurs dont get a C, no big deal, but would prefer the spurs have lots of looks at talented partners to wemby and sochan who both look like elite position less float defenders

[MultiTroll]

Collins is perfect. Don't overthink this.

But Collins won't play 48 minutes.

Who fills in when Wama and Collins overlap?

Bassey

[RC_Drunkford]

Honestly Jaren Jackson Jr. seems like the best player to put next to Wemby. Should definitely try to sign him when he becomes an FA

I think he would be useful in small moments when we need help against bruising centers that would typically give Yak problems. However, Oscar isn’t super tall, 6’9” in shoes but has a 7’3” wingspan and super strong hands that seem to get every rebound. Seems like a Larry Smith, basically. That’s not bad for a likely undrafted player. He’s one of the best rebounders in decades. I’m modestly intrigued.

He is terrible. Pass.
