That's what happens when players are bad. The more they play...the more they suck
Branhim is legit one of the 20 worst players in the nba. If I had to choose between Forbes and Branhim, I'd have to really think about it and probably pick Forbes. At least he could be an elite 3 point shooter in certain situations.
Branham and Wesley are both barely old enough to legally drink. Derrick White was two full years older than either of them during his rookie season. And it still took him 3 or so years to develop into a good NBA player.
I realize patience isn't exactly in vogue, but neither of these guys is anywhere close to a finished product. I'd rather have them on the roster even with a small chance of turning into something serviceable than a replacement level scrub like Cedi Osman.
It's funny how people here (myself included) were lauding Cedi for his "vet presence" early last season...boy, that sure didn't age well and now the dude is out of the NBA.
Agreed that I want to see more from both Branham and Wesley, but it's too early to pull the emergency switch just yet
With just the additions of Barnes, CP3 and Castle, that will probably move Branham, Wesley, and G-League Sidy from the deep end of the second team to the end of the 3rd team, if not totally off the team. Also remember that we picked up a few somewhat skilled and experienced minimum salary guys that could replace the 3 stooges as well. Hopefully moving at least one of the three will improve the team a bit. If a player needs 3 extra years to develop into a minimally skilled NBA player- and that is what they are right now, they should have stayed in school longer. Yeah , the money is good but if the skills aren't there, they won't be on the team or the league very long.
Malaki and Blake were draft picks projected and then drafted in the 20s. Those players don’t usually improve their standing by staying another year. It’s near 100% that they will both be on the roster this year, and based on past actions,the Spurs will likely pickup their year 4 options, even if it’s seeing them as potential trade ballast next summer. As long as you’re not a problem child or injured, you get your 4 years on the Spurs roster, even if they have no long term plans for you like Kyle Anderson or Lonnie. It’s cheap labor, which will become increasingly more important under the shadow of the second apron.
Both players will bank good money through four years even if they don’t get a second contract, Malaki at about $14M and Blake at about $12M. If they go back to school and get hurt, they get nothing.
It's the usual gaggle of posters cranking up their pissbaby-fest to make this season as almost unbearable as any other one with their takes. Guess we're saddled with them forever.
Sochan got that Amadeus wig look going on.
damn dude I am a smoothie fan myself and that Blake Wesley smoothie vid is bad ass
That Spurs facility smoothie bar is LEGIT. Love throwing all kinds of in my mix and so seeing the hemp seeds and stuff is awesome. There is one shot where you can see a whole shelf of Lakewoods probably lemon juice or something. Their aloe is fire. Those are like $7 per bottle lol big baller smoothie bar imho tbh.
It actually may be their ginger but they also do blends and I could see that being the citrus one
Maybe Knudsens but I think it's Lakewood
You all forgot Mamu,....he is not that old yet
a good guy, loves his family, mature, well spoken......
we should sign him for life, just for the locker room presence, hahahaha
just joking, but im glad we have a player like this..............he has Manu's maturity
If they aren't a star then expect someone - or everyone - on ST to constantly on them.
The only things that Branham (scoring but inconsistently) and Wesley (on-ball defense and some playmaking) are actually passable at ST swears they can't do. Its maddening, but to be expected at this point from this site.
the sniffers slobbering terrible players per par
Spurs basketball is back baby
Seriously, a bunch of this rosters purpose was solely to tank for Wemby and they did that job well. No need to get attached and talk ourselves into guys like Branham and Wesley being long term fits in any way, shape or form. This team won 22 games last year despite Vic being way better than anticipated, that should say it all with regards to the overall talent level of this team. As an aside with him being picked up by the Bulls for g-league purposes, i'm actually happy Primo turned out to be a serial flasher which all but forced the Spurs to cut him early rather than have to watch him be a massive bust for 4 seasons. Such an embarrassing pick.

Malaki and Blake arent busts guys! Anyone who doesnt think so is a pissbaby!
Wesley and Branham were taken in the 20s so they cant be busts!
They just need more time guys! it doesnt matter that they have shown no improvement over two seasons!
I actually believe that about any players taken in the 20s or later. Most of the players taken there never make it to a second contract or an NBA career.Malaki and Blake arent busts guys! Anyone who doesnt think so is a pissbaby!

Players so good the spurs signed a 40 year old and drafted a guard with a top 4 pick to keep them off the floor
It looks like this message board is in midseason form already. I'm glad the summer hasn't tamped down the utterly -for-brains takes here. You must have been practicing. Great job!People on this site being fans of Wesley and Branhim
