Reggie shotblocking and great rebounder?
Wemby does look like Reggie Miller stretched out nearly another foot.
Let's hope Wemby has a better ring size.
Matisse Thybulle is one name who's interesting as free agent signing
Reggie was one of those you like to hate because of his tenacity at the court. It wouldn’t be bad to have his dawg at ude.
I mountain bike, and Reggie is a regular guy you see riding his tall bike, with his pink jersey. Very approachable guy.
We all know we need a veteran center because Wemby doesn't want to play the 5. A report just dropped today that the Sun's are interested in going after Lillard. They don't have any draft capital, however, so they need a third team with draft picks and cap room. We could offer up some draft capital to Phoenix for Ayton. Between that and waiving Paul they could clear enough space to take on Lillard, but they still wouldn't have enough draft capital just in what we give them. They might have to look at seconds, some pick swaps, and some young players. Even then it's not enough unless Lillard specifically request Phoenix.
Personally I'd prefer if we just throw some cap space at bringing back Poeltl and using some of our draft capital to go after Wallace as our future starting point guard. Poeltl provides a good stop gap for a few years to give Wemby time to bulk up plus he already knows the system and Wallace is a great defensive minded PG that could grow with the core.
But Ayton is a double double machine and he and Wemby could be the twin towers 2.0 for years to come. Just some food for thought...
Ayton sucks. He’s an overpaid baby.
Ayton is a lazy, disinterested guy who plays basketball because he's tall and would rather be playing Call of Duty. He's unplayable in the postseason and was beat out by a guy name Jock. As a former number one pick, he's makes $30-35 million a year for the next few years and the team that currently has him is desperate to get something, anything, for him instead of keep him.
The key is surrounding Wemby with good players but also high character guys - And I don't mean church going clean dudes - I mean guys who understand what sacrifice and hard work means players who will have your back and go to war with you.
I still think Spurs should Target Steven Adams, he would be a perfect fit along side of Wemby. He's an enforcer and a great teamate.
He also would take allot of pressure off of Wemby down in the paint and would be there for him when other teams try to bully ball him.
I actually love the fit with Zollins. He’s a banger plus his 3 ball stroke can help open the lane for Wemby and KJ.
anybody who thinks Devin Vassell can not be a 2nd or 3rd option should probably watch this
Vassell is gonna feast this season
I’m really high on Vassell - if you look at what he was able to do in his 3rd season he stacks up very favorably against other talented wings. Not necessarily saying he’ll be as good or better than all of these guys, but check this out:
Vassell in year 3 at 22 years old: 18.5/4.0/3.5 on 55% TS playing 31 mpg
Jimmy Butler in year 3 at 24 years old: 13/5/2.5 on 52% TS playing 38 mpg
Paul George in year 3 at 22 years old: 17.5/7.5/4 on 53% TS playing 37 mpg
Khris Middleton in year 3 at 23 years old: 13.5/4.5/2.5 on 56% TS playing 30 mpg
Again, the point of this isn’t to say that he’ll end up being better than all of these guys…but when you look at the production he put up at just 22 years old with hardly any surrounding talent, there’s no reason to think he can’t become a borderline all-star level talent. It’s very likely he improves noticeably from here on out.
No Spur is going to benefit playing next to Wembanyam more than Vassell. He's in the perfect spot to excel.
Robinson is 6'8. But yeah, he is bad on that end. Also Robinson has such good offball movement.
Word is Gary Trent Jr won't re-sign with Raps. Could we go for him? We can really use a go to guy for buckets.
I would love Gary Trent Jr but where would he fit? Vassell, Keldon, and Malaki need those minutes unless we trade Keldon
Word is Orlando may go hard after Trent. They need shooting even more than we do.
If we had Trent, we could have a solid rotation of 1-3 in Tre, Brenham, Trent, Vassell, Keldon and McDermott.
Keldon could move to 4 on small ball occasions.
Smh the “coaching staff just needs to make sure Wemby gets the ball at all times” genius basketball takes are going to age poorly when Popovich is doing the same thing. Basketball is a 5 man sport. And Wemby is not a basketball god who can do everything by himself. Even Jordan didnt do that.
It’s not a matter of doing everything, it’s being put into a situation to do SOMETHING, like the occasional accurate post entry pass.
There’s a middle ground between going several possessions without ever touching the ball and just throwing it to him and having him isolate every time down the floor. No one expects the latter (especially not in the NBA), but watching his scrub teammates run the offense without him even being involved is just awful basketball.
