As long as Wemby gets his 15 lob dunks everyone will be Happy
If they had drafted Sheppard and Knecht or even Williams and Carter, then DeRozan would've made sense even with Paul on the roster. He doesn't entirely not make sense now, but the fit is less elegant
Paul, Jones, Wesley
Vassell, Castle, Branham
DeRozan, Johnson, Champangie
Sochan, Mamukelashvili, Cissoko
Wembanyama, Collins, Bassey
That's two units with questionable shooting and too many cooks in the starting-lineup kitchen. MAYBE the Spurs trade Sochan, Jones and Branham in a Markkanen deal. Even then I'd want DeMar to come off the bench
Paul, Lowry (room exception), Wesley
Vassell, DeRozan, Okogie
Castle, Johnson, Champangie
Markkanen, Mamukelashvili, Cissoko
Wembanyama, Collins, Bassey

Alright for real... what's up with Lonnie? I wouldn't mind him back to push Branham for backup SG minutes, though I don't think there will be many. CP3-Tre-Vassell-Castle should soak up most if not all of the SG minutes. I imagine Castle gets run at PG, SG, and SF, with him starting at SF.
As Ex will gleefully point out, Lonnie's not a good basketball player. He's talented and still flashes. But at his best he's a slight positive, and most of the time, he's a strong negative. I'm sure he's a high-character guy. But he either can't respond to coaching or won't. I think he needs to go to Europe for a few years to see if he can figure some things out and maybe have a second NBA stint in his 30s. For the min, I'd rather bring Mills back. Patty can wave those towels with the best of them and can hit some threes. I think with three two-way slots, they can use the 15th spot on an old player who's going to be more of a coach than anything else. Give Paul someone to talk to.
yeah, that could definitely play into it too... I've read the rumors in multiple places that he was overruled in drafts, but I don't know for sure how factual that is.
Papa DeMar coming home
If Keldon is traded why not a 6th man role for DDR?
They went from FOMO to SLOW-MO…
Did he actually say he didn't want to come here when he was traded? If so, Spurs shouldn't bother wasting their time.Didn't the dude almost blow his brains out at a Jack in the Box parking lot when he found out he got traded to SA? Yeah he ain't coming back.
He never said it like that, but I doubt he’d be crying in a fast food parking lot if he got traded to the Lakers.
Then again they also leaked out how much they loved Salaun and Carter while being tight lipped on Castle who they clearly loved so can't believe coming from the front office.
he would never accept coming off the bench tbh
I forgot the story here. What was it?
Sounds like a nice Tanking For Traore, Failing For Flagg kind of signing.
Well, no one can steal their team building strategy while someone can steal the player they like in the draft.
Damn, Knicks are actually stacked.
Hopefully they can stay healthy, I want to see them have a go at Celtics.
Brunson/McBride
Bridges/DiVincenzo
OG/Hart
Randle/KBD
Robinson/?
They just need to find a cheap big for the regular season, I expect Randle to spend a lot of minutes at C in the playoffs.
Lonnie left the Spurs 5 seconds into free agency and his agent told the Spurs he wouldn't sign his qualifying offer He obviously didn't like it here, and I don't blame him for the way he was jerked out of his minutes. 0 percent chance he comes back to the Spurs. Like I legit think if the Spurs were the only team offering him a contract he would go play in Europe instead.
He never said he didn't want to come back, he just wasn't interested in playin for the Spurs for anything less than the max. And then he went and played for the Bulls for not even a 100 million dollars
When you won't play for one team for anything less than what they can pay you but you will play for another team for way less than that...you probably didn't want to play for that first team in the first place.
Buddy Hield to GS is official.
Melton + Hield are both solid pickups…don’t think they’ll hurt too bad after losing Klay. If they landed Markannen too that Curry/Hield/Markannen lineup is going to be insane on offense.
He wanted a 3-year deal and the Spurs would only offer 2 years.
Damn, I would’ve loved to have him come here on this kind of deal. CP3/Hield/Castle/Sochan/Wemby starting 5 would be solid.
You can't have a player option on a non-guaranteed year if it's following a year that has a guarantee. Maybe that changed with the new CBA, but there's potentially some misreporting there.
