Devin being injury prone like Manu while having played less compe ive games overall. Boo.
I seriously hope Branham has a bounce back season. Otherwise cut that scrub if he shows nothing.
Branham is the closest thing to what Devin does.

Vassell will start the season off on the right foot. (Sorry, I'm that kind of guy.)
Vassell saw how badly some of us wanted Markkanen and decided to prove he can do everything Lauri can do - including miss large chunks of games every season of his career.
Devin Glassell
Conundrum. My guess is Champagnie starts. Move him up a position and slot Harrison Barnes as the 3/4 since he was already starting.
This is the norm with DV. They need to do what I'm always saying which is to recognize the player is not "it" and find a way to get the most in a trade. This guy is good but reliably unreliable.
Dude is always injured and that is why I consider him unreliable.
Never doubted vassell was a china doll and have been saying this forever and also hoped he would be traded...
post after post after post saying "sochan plus keldon plus -insert name - but NOT VASSELL!" made me chuckle all off season.
So Devin had a stress reaction in the third metatarsal of his foot and had off-season surgery, hope he recovers well. I remember James Anderson was looking good in pre season and decent in the first few games and the same thing happened to one of his metatarsals and he was not even close to being same afterwards at least physically.
He had the dreaded fifth metatarsal, which had ended more than a few careers.
Luckily I think he and Wesley are the odd gots out. Only reason they're still on the team is because they're cheap as and are there for injury insurance. Fixing this ty bench should be priority numero uno next summer because Tre, Keldon, Shampenny/Sidy, Zollins/Bassey/Mamu is laughably bad.
Branham is the closest thing to what Alfredrick Hughes did
Spurs' FO choices to make during the training camp are:
- There are 5 players with Ingram, Duke Jr., Mensah, Boston Jr. and Minix for 3 two-way roster spots.
- Flynn isn't eligible to a two-way contract. If Spurs want to keep him, they will need to waive a player with a guaranteed contract like Wesley or Cissoko.
- Spurs have until the end of october to pick 2025-2026 options on Wembanyama, Sochan, Branham and Wesley.
To me, Ingram is the only player of the end of the roster that is slightly intriguing. There is a path for him to become a good NBA role player in a Jae Crowder mold. Picking up Wembanyama and Sochan options is a no brainer. For Branham and Wesley, a key factor is whether or not Spurs want to have cap space next summer to go after free agents.

Boston is from 2021 class he 2-way eligible.
Yep, you're right.
The Branham/Wesley decisions will be interesting considering they could have 3 picks next summer.
Very unlikely to have 3 picks, and not sure they’ll need roster spots. Sidy is almost certainly gone, probably Mamu since he was only offered a one year contract, and Tre Jones is expiring. That’s just off the top of my head. It’s very rare for the Spurs to not pick up year 4 on a first round contract, unless there is some sort of behavioral issue, like Primo’s display penchant or Samanic’s outright laziness.
BTW, the salary cap situation for Spurs next summer will be the following:
Salary cap will be at $154.6M
Spurs will have 7 player under guaranteed contract (Vassell, Barnes, Collins, Johnson, Wembanyama, Castle and Sochan) for a total of $111.6M
Right now, the most likely draft scenario is Spurs getting #9 and #10 which will add a $12.3M cap hold.
3 incomplete roster charge will need to be added of $1.3M each.
Spurs total team salary will be $127.8M which result in $26.8M in capspace.
If Spurs keep Champagnie, it will lower the cap space by $1.7M.
If Spurs pick Branham option, it will lower the cap space by $3.6M.
If Spurs pick Wesley option, it will lower the cap space by $3.4M
26.8 ain’t much in today’s nba. It’s not going to lure a star, even a minor one.
I half agree with you.
2025 FA will be weird. Only 4 teams (Wizards, Nets, Spurs and Rockets) are projected to have cap space. Wizard and Nets should still tank in 2026 for Dybantsa/Boozer. Rockets cap space will depend on what they do with Sengun and Jalen Green. Bottom line is that there will have very little money available for FA next summer.
$26.8M isn't a lot in today's nba but it will be in the 2025 FA market.
Cap space won't be an issue if we're in for an all-star.
Collins will be on expiring $19M next summer. Barnes on $18M.
Keldon with two years left, $17M per year.

(Note that every time a player signs in Europe, the NBA considers him an "Unsigned free agent". Cedi Osman is Panathinaikos player now.)
