no kidding. i mean-letting him play for his national team, as many games as he can in the regular season and having his own trainers work with him. wow, what a diva>
allowing him to spend a day in new york before he's even drafted

The gap is big but it’s in Rupert’s favor, tbh
do divas take public transit?
ROFL exactly what I thought when I looked up Moriah Mills. I could understand a little if it was like Hazel Heart or maybe La Sirena 69 if he wanted a thick ass , but Moriah Mills looks like .Yeah I'm pretty damn excited with how Wemby carries himself.
Most hyped prospect since Bron but he seems like he's got a good head on his shoulders. Very conscious about his training and seems like he very much has a compe ive fire to be one of the all time greats....
Way better than being a 300 pounder who can't lay off beignets and C list porn stars tbh
Man, if Houston passes on Amen at #4, I still think you need to be blowing up Detroit and Orlando to see how many first rounders you need to attach to Keldon to get to 5 or 6.
All the "trade Keldon +2 FRPs to get in the top 10" stans on suicide watch...“The plan is to avoid big, costly mistakes,” he explained, “and to slowly build this thing out. See what you have first, see what you need, see what can be grown organically and go from there.”
timvp, did your source tell you if the Spurs and/or Wemby view him as a center or a PF at this point in his career? Some of the reporting does suggest the Spurs probably do want to limit the minutes at the five for him. But getting that sense would have a cascading effect on multiple positions on the roster.
You can throw in 3, 4, or 5 seconds if necessary including 33.
Great question.
I expect nobody’s untouchable IF Spurs truly believe on the guy they are targeting. To me if the Spurs have a chance to get what they believe could be an AS caliber, and will pair seamlessly with Wemby, then do it.
Meh. Wemby changes this team on offense and defense so much that is going to basically be a new team.
We haven't had rim protection in years. We got someone who should be elite at it from game 1.
We haven't had a big who could generate a double team since LMA last all nba season. Now we got a big that will and that should generate all types of shots for our offense that just flat out hasn't existed in years.
And this free agency class just isn't that good. You trying to blow a bunch of money on Van fleet or Kyle Kuzma? And as far as any trades go, say goodbye to some young players and those picks.
Love everything I’m hearing in this article and in Victor’s interviews tbh. Glad we’re not going to coddle the guy and force him to sit every other game. I trust that between Victor himself, his training staff that knows him well, and the Spurs staff that they’ll be able to manage things properly to maximize development and minimize health risks. People worrying he’s a diva because he wants to be on the court…seriously?
Great to hear we’re very seriously and actively pursuing another first round pick yet still want to maintain a “slow and steady” approach. No need to spend a ton of money on veteran FAs but they seem to understand it’s paramount to surround Victor with lots of talent ASAP.
Put the kid in as many games as possible with the idea of getting into the playoffs and see what happens. Injuries are up to God and he has shown Himself to be a Spurs fan by giving us this draft gift of a generational player.
I don’t see how a 2 year deal with Chris Paul would be a big costly mistake. They have to spend the money anyways and it keeps the cap flexibility open.Nice to see this officially confirmed.
money has to go somewhere tbh
active roster + primo dead cap + wemby cap hold has them at about 97 mil or so
I think he’s going to play more SF though. I’m sure he will on occassions post, but I think will see more of a KD type shooting over a defender, at least until he gets more NBA strong to handle the grinds on the paint. I don’t really want to match him against the likes of Stephen Adams for now.
It's not. It's about potential and Bilal has showed more in a few months in France than Rupert in a full season in Australia (6pts, 2.5rbds, 1 ass (ouch) for Rupert who is supposed to be a playmaker), reason why Bilal is projected higher. Rupert's stock started to fall after people really checked his games in Australia.
Rupert's intrigue mainly comes from his size and for being a 6"6 PG... We know how scouts and GMs value size nowadays but his playmaking skills are still very raw .
Good read.im sure pop has been brainstorming on how to properly handle this gift of the nba gods….
just like when timmy was gifted to the spurs, the first thing pop did was go to timmy and try to find out what made timmy tick and they developed a nice relationship
pop knows he cannot use the same exact strategy with wemby
and wemby wanting to win now and against load mgmt- goes against pops recent handling of personnel- but pop is smart enough to know that he may have to adjust as much to wemby as wemby has to adjust to pop
probably more adjusting will have to come from pops side and i think pop understands this…
Did yourself, Obstructed View, Chinook or anyone else see all the Mets post season games and have a take on Coul?
I only saw one game. The one where pretty much everyone said the Mets were getting ref burned.
From what i saw, Coul is not NBA ready.
I know, he's only 18 and I'm not expecting him to be ready.
What i mean is from what little i saw he did not strike me as a 1st round pick.
One game.
How bout you ones that saw him a lot.
Hey did any of you see him all regular season long too?
Nope!
I think the season awards will matter a lot to Wemby. He doesn't want to lose out on ROY, All-Rookie team, etc by not playing enough games.
There's also a bigger picture. If Wemby is going to be the GOAT he will need to play as many games as he can, which means not sitting out too often early in his career.
Perhaps the way to square the circle is allow Wemby to play 82 games (assuming no injuries of course) but limit his minutes, especially in back-to-backs.
Spurs haven't even drafted him yet. Nothing wrong with him in New York a day before.
or
let him play and let him see the grind of the nba and hope that wemby and the spurs medical staff learn to trust each other and get on the same page to maximize wembys career and longevity
hopefully avoiding any major injuries
