Game Thread: Spurs (3-7) at Thunder (6-4) November 14, 2023 | 6:30 P.M. CT

Malaki was a good pick at 20 in that he could have an NBA career. Good skills. He is just too passive right now still in my opinion.

Branham looks like the key at this point. There are a bunch of guys we already know are going to be decent or never will be. Branham is the wild card -- he could become a rotation player on a high end team or not. Therefore, he is the key by process of elimination.

I said it b4 but it does look like the Spurs have several not NBA caliber players getting heavy minutes. They have injuries but it’s too painful to watch. They looked like a G league team last night.

Look at the bright side -- at least Wemby finally got to play in front of a full house.

Branham hasn’t played poorly either.

Comparatively for all the hate Lonnie got here he’s played well for Brooklyn this year. He’s averaging 15 on 51% shooting and 46% from 3pt.

If Branham brings up 14-15 off the bench by next season that would be great. Seems so many here either want an all star or they should be cut.

This game was so bad that LJ doesn't even want to do grades for it.

Agreed. Branham is the least of my concerns this season...he is one of the few rookies that seems to be progressing despite some issues.

Wesley looks like he will be playing in Austin, Sochan is playing a position he isn't fit for, and Wemby barely has 10 games under his belt and has shown flashes of being spectacular even without a lack of real team support.

Part of me wishes we still had a Murray or White, or even a Walker IV around...but if that was the case, we probably wouldn't have Wemby so we'll have to take the lumps

The perils of a tank. Everyone here wanted a fire sale and then they got what they asked for and are pissed off we’re sitting on all that valuable draft capital with a roster that literally looks like it went through a fire sale.

Not even a half season through after the great sell off season.

Personally I think we’re in a good spot and would be wise to tread lightly into the trade deadline. With that said I’m sure we’ll be open minded if a respectable pg becomes reasonably available.

Ok so we're tanking, but who for? What top 5 prospect is Pop/Wright interested in that were throwing away another season for? We'll probably reach for another project that won't pan out again.

it’s okay, we are “Collapsing for Collier!”

it’s okay, we are “Collapsing for Collier!”

Or "Sinking For Sarr".

And he's doing it in 20min...almost a point per min. In 1 game he did score 20 in 20. I did say watch for Lonnie in year 6

I have. They've never really had rebuilding years. It was a bad season followed by a good one with pieces somewhat in place. This roster is under construction. So I see no reason for the FO to not make a move if its prudent and makes sense.
