Chicago Bulls forward Derrick Jones Jr. is declining his $3.3 million player option for the 2023-24 season and entering unrestricted free agency, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.
Kuzma would be a solid addition especially for just 20 million he’s seaking. 28 years old and in his prime

apparently he wants 30 which is, hilarious
Kuzma is too Hollywood for me
Middleton just opted out
I think that was expected.
We have vessel
And yet there will be posts here after we draft wemby
It's probably not going to matter, but there legitimate players at multiple positions available in free agency, and the Spurs' cap space and expiring contracts give them a chance to be aggressive with the players they trade away. Those guys sometimes lack the same upside and will definitely be more expensive. But they are more reliable variables, and if moving someone like Johnson or even Vassell or Sochan gets the Spurs that second blue-chipper, the team would have a way to recouping their lost impact. Again, I'm not particularly advocating for them making such a trade, but I do hope the Spurs have a more dynamic roadmap to team-building and not the rather flat one represented by timvp's article.
Bruce Brown just opted out of Nuggets.
Free Agent.
Explore, yes!
Don't confuse the personality but think when we briefly had the good Steven Jackson in the Chip year.
I saw some of that versatility from Brown in this playoffs and Finals.
Middleton washed.
Injuries.
Don't think he ever returns to Chip year play.
If he does, good for him.
Not going to experiement for 40 mil with Spurs. He's trying to cash in on past.
That would be a massive No.
Kuzma is too Hollywood for me
Kuzma would bring some much needed pizazz to the locker room tbh.

Is he wearing Wemby’s shirt?
I'll lose my if we bring back Jakob lol he's a great player but i think the fit is bad with wemby personally.
poodle power!
I'm gonna be annoyed if they bring Poeltl back. I just don't think he fits well next to Wemby and he's soft as . Collins is way more suited to thst role. Poeltl gets easily bullied by any physical big man. And obviously he cannot stretch the floor at all
fwiw, the article timvp wrote last November said a Spurs insider thought Poeltl would be a great fit next to Wemby.
https://www.spurstalk.com/spurs-prep...or-wembanyama/“Jak is the type of center you want next to Vic. He’s unselfish, he can defend inside and out, and he can shoulder the load in the middle,” the Spurs insider explained.
If the FO shares that opinion they might go after Poeltl after all. It would marginalize Collins and make remove Bassey from the rotation altogether, but it wouldn't shock me.
If we don't use cap space to take on bad contracts, then I suspect we'll target one or more of Austin Reaves, Kyle Kuzma, and/or Bruce Brown. Some think Kuzma will sign for the full MLE. Seems too cheap, but maybe.
Poeltl would be useful next to Wemby for a season or two but don't really see the long-term fit. Can always sign him and trade him down the road for a first rounder though
Kuzma is empty calories, that guy.
Poeltl I could see PATFO going after. They 100% know who they're getting, he can bang down low for Wemby, and we all know Collins isn't going to make every game. Yes he's not on the same time horizon with Wemby at first glance, but the reality is he could be that filler for 2-3 years while Wemby fills out.
I think we should keep our payroll for big men low at center. I'm fine with Collins + Bassy/Barlow/Sochan (in small ball lineups) for now. If we take on cap dump, a overpaid center on a relatively short deal might be helpful. Like Nurkic.
