I don't see what Caleb Martin offers that Champagnie doesn't and Champagnie only costs $3 million a year.
Next year the free agency class is always better, until it arrives and then it isn’t.

Agreed, but we also just need more players that can shoot period
Having 2 of them is a good thing. Means less minutes from Cedi/Branham/Blake etc…better availability for switchable lineups etc..
I’m liking naji marshal, however wouldn’t mind nicolas batum. Batum would be a nice French vet presence for hopefully a few years on the cheap, who’d i think would help the team/wemby stay focused on a long term goal while not affecting winning too much & hurting our lottery chances for 25.
While Branham was 571 out of 572 in the league on VORP I still expect PATFO to pick up his year 4 option and play him significant minutes again in the hope he finds the three point shot he had at Ohio State.
It would be an embarrassment if the trading of the #8 pick was not made because they had an acquisition in mind to replace that talent
FOR THIS SEASON!
i am baffled at spurs fans who do not revolt and put pressure on this front office.
mamu and osman?
are you ing kidding me?
the wolves had zero options and they came away with an exciting and enticing prospect- and the spurs who have “allegedly” been stockpiling assets and playing 4d chess
get NOTHING FOR THIS SEASON? (Castle seems promising but they had TWO TOP TEN PICKS)
this front office if all they do is keep their stinking garbage roster surrounding wemby
lol Batum is only 35? Feel like he had played for 20 years in the league.
Don’t want to be a Debbie downer but I’ll be surprised if we make any moves in free agency, think will use our cap space to absorb contracts again…
Thought he was older too tbh. He seems like he's been around for a hot minute.
I expect very little from our organization this off-season. The cost of a borderline AS caliber players these days is astronomical. I’m okay with overpaying a vet like CP3 or Tobias Harris if only on a 1-2year contract but otherwise let’s just keep growing organically.
I really hope they just throw Castle into the deep end and let him go be a dog. Pop screaming at him every step of the way.
there is no reason not to make a run at him, except for spurstalkers who'd rather have Jalen Smith and Jeff Ayres
Agree on long term contracts. The most they'll do is one or two years. And agree on the above about spending money on players who don't provide much more than our other players. Like Caleb Martin. They won't spend on a four or five year contract when Champagnie is very inexpensive and does essentially the same things, if not as well.
I know that gets some people steamed, but the process really is being very deliberate. It feels like they're being picky about what they're doing, and they are. My feel is that they have four players they more or less regard as 'core' at this point: Wembanyama, Vassell, Sochan, Castle. Honestly think they really like Branham and want to see what happens this year. Other players are guys they like (Tre, Keldon) but aren't wed to. Like, Tre Jones will be a cheap excellent backup.
For the rest, they're going to be as fluid and flexible as possible. No contracts to players you have to dump or do something with in two or three years.
The problem with the spurs is they can make moves(usually just small ones) , they just don't - or mess up the ones they can make. They basically just threw away a #8 pick and a #35 pick. Neither of those moves will improve the team now even a little. For those moves to pan out we have to be worse than the TWolves in 2030 and the 2031 pick has to be 7 or better. Dilly will be a 6 year pro by the time that happens. If any player picked 8 or later from this draft makes an all rookie team, the spurs will have shot themselves in the foot once again. Pop, RC and Wright most likely won't be around in 2030, so their actions will affect the people in charge then. Some front office we have.
If his spinal issue checks out medically, I would think he'd be the number one target. He's not as big all around as Brogdon and a different type of player, but it's the same general idea of having multiple ball handlers, improved floor spacing and switch ability.
Harris, Marshall, Prince and Bey seem like other realistic options from this list.
Trade for Corey Kispert pls
We are getting Lauri anyways so it doesn’t matter who the free agents are
Yeah not really expecting any big splash with FAs
Batum or Naji Marshall would be realistic and solid
KCP would be a home run and Fontecchio would get on base
Anyone else getting beautyrest pop-ups in these articles now? Super annoying.
Yep. It somehow popped up like five or six times while reading the article. Ridiculous.
timvp has to pay those hamsters somehow
Yea and I had to close it something like 6 times just to get through the article, which repeatedly said, “Haha you expect the Spurs to sign anyone good!? Not a chance!”
After the draft carnage we all need some beauty rest.
Inexpensive options could be players like Bitadze and Delon Wright, both of whom have figured out how to be impactful and relatively error-free in limited minutes, but I doubt the Spurs pursue even that route. I'll be happy to be wrong, but I'd bet the approach to this season is another soft tank job, where sophistry masquerades as nuance and Brian Wright says things like, "we're not trying to lose, but we're prioritizing development over winning" and "we value continuity as a core element of our approach."
Yep, this was supposed to be a great summer for FAs. Folks keep trying to tell everyone that none of this list of blockbuster FAs would actually end up FAs and sure enough, here we are.
Muh Cap Space crew will never learn their lesson.
