I don't think the ownership group will want to spend that money on such an old player when looking at the maximum potential profit dependent only on Wemby's playing most of the games the next couple seasons.
to the Naw on CP3 coming here. He's a totally washed vet that wears out his welcome wherever he goes. I fully expect this team to make the playoffs next year without him. Not the play-in, the playoffs. The Spurs will be smart to get some veteran help in to start the winning now. A nice mix of young and experienced players. i wouldn't judge the Spurs based on last season. It was an intentional effort to lose as many games as needed to have a chance at #1. They rested guys with paper cuts and other fake injuries.
Wemby
Sochan
Vassell
Johnson
Collins
McDermott
Jones
Those guys provide a good base. I wouldn't trade the top 3 but everyone else is expendable for the right deals. Bring in a veteran Big like Poetl or Lopez to allow Wemby to play 3 or 4. Get another Pg in too.

If they get CP3, they'd also need to buy him a year's membership in AARP.
with chris paul now a free agent, any change of hearts? would love tmvp's take.
should claim him off waivers imo
With Chris Paul now a free agent, there's no chance of him signing with the Spurs. He will go ring chasing somewhere.
I was down for it before depending on the other options for use of cap space. With him being a free agent, same applies.
I think the interesting possibility is what contending teams he wants to sign for, and what they might do to be able to give him something above the minimum / build out with him for contention.
E.g., would the Clippers be more inclined to creating space by trading Batum / Covington (and other bits and pieces like declining Eric Gordon's )?
I think the Lakers seems most likely as the team he goes to (Boston no $$, Denver as a back up, Didin't seem like best buds with Harden in Philly (and they're not a top level contender if he goes).... If the Lakers know pre draft, would they do #17 for 33, Charlotte pick and one of the 2024 seconds on draft day?
Slightly improves cap space for them, gives them more assets, might let us get up to Bufkin / Cason range.
can put in a waiver claim tbh
It would have to be on this year’s cap, since the drop dead cut date is 28 June, and I don’t think we have enough remaining cap room.
Shamsports shows the Spurs with $26.9M in cap room and Paul's contract is $28.4M. Both figures are for the 2022-2023 season.
The article said the Suns haven't yet decided on exactly what they will do, but if a team could claim Paul straight up it would prevent him from re-signing with the Suns (assuming that's even allowed) or joining a contender. But if the Spurs don't have enough cap room then I don't think any team does.
HOU and IND has cap space
Claiming Paul off waivers just puts you on the hook for an outrageous salary and probably pisses him the k off.
The vet PG you really want is Michael Conley.
He has an odd situation. His full contract isn't guaranteed next year. If he's waived, the Wolves are on the hook for only like $15 of his $25 million salary. Except this doesn't help their cap numbers a ton and I think 100% they'd rather keep him after stupid-mouth gossipqueen DLo. Conley is a good leader, steady hand on the court, and clutch.
Just don't think you can prise him away.
It has to be 2022-2023 cap space to make a waiver claim, since he must be waived by June 28th. Both teams burned all of their 2022-2023 cap space at the deadline. We are literally the only game in town with $22M in remaining cap space. It's not enough for CP0, but someone else may get waived in the same period of time,
stain should come no were near a Spurs jersey.
LoL to thinking he's the missing piece to a chip for other teams or a mentor of any sort.
ty commercials too.
Knows where the dead bodies are or something. Unreal how he and Derek Swisher extort the NBA.
This is a case to think DAF86 and his takes should be ignored as foolishness.
Hard to imagine a team paying that much for a PG that has been limited so much by injuries, no matter how good he was in past seasons.
Luckily we didn't trade for him because now he's going to be waived.
Why people think they understand the nba with these corny 2K roster moves is BEYOND ME.
Let me guess, you wanted to offer Keldon for him lol. see sig...
From which group are you, the ones that want Wemby at PG, or the ones that want to surround him with non-shooters?
The group that thinks your takes are bad.
Yeah, I also checked his contract situation a couple weeks ago since I would love him in SA and money speaking there's no real reason for Minny to waive him, which is probably irrelevant since they traded D-Lo precisely for Conley's experience and steadiness. Their season was disappointing overall but he really brought poise and whatever talent he still has to show (let's not forget how good of a player he was), to make for the headcases KAT, Edwards and to some extend Gobert are...
I don't see how spurs could get him, not to mention that if for some reason Minny would waive him, he would certainly get a lot of offers from contenders. Would he chase a ring or accept a big SA offer instead for the incredible, rare, come on! chance to play with Wemby...? There's always the possibilty Minny trade him at some point this season.
For what
How to get injured and not play in playoffs and not win le
Because it matters to him not the gm of the spurs ?
Well, it is expected for people that think Wemby could play as a PG to disagree with me, tbh.
Also, I don't get why do you think this take should be "ignored as foolishness". Do you have something against taking market opportunities on hall of fame PGs?
