Things Everyone But Gregg Popovich and Brian Wright Can See
I need more time before blaming Sochan. But agree with much of the rest.
Trying to compete this season would be kind of simple.
CP3/Castle at point. Trade Tre or extend him and tell him he'll be Castle's long-term backup. We got no use for him this season in games where both CP3 and Castle play.
Devin/Champagnie at SG. Nothing to add.
Jeremy/Barnes at PF.
Get a legit starting forward and find a backup for Wemby.
Mamu as backup forward, with new winger, Jeremy and Barnes playing starter minutes and Mamu filling the rest. Some minutes at C if opposition bench plays small.
Wesley, Branham, Sidy as third stringers.
We got Keldon, Zach and Tre to work with. 17.5+18+9 million contracts.
Can combine them for a more expensive player or just attach picks for each trade.
Realistic wing targets: Cam Johnson, Kuzma, Ingram
Realistic backup big targets: Vucevic, Poeltl, Brook Lopez, Ayton (big contract, but only until 2026, Keldon+Collins is a perfect match)
As I said before, I'd take a chance on Keldon+Zach+SRPs for Ingram. Even if he doesn't sign an extension, we'd be getting rid of those useless contracts earlier.
The team crumbles due to inexperience from the bench and low iq from the usual suspects (keldon, collins, branham). Continue increasing the iq of the team and the team will see success. Continue relying on low iq players, however, and we will see bad losses. We’re almost done purging the low iq players from the team… we got rid of eubanks, rudy gay, lonnie, mills (mills was useful when there was 6 players above him in priority level), forbes… just need to keep going.
Really? You'd trade a moldy trashcan of stink for a good player?
He's obviously not staying there and they just gave Murphy an extension.
Their starting C is even worse than Collins, believe it or not.
Tried to tell everyone the Spurs needed to move Keldon ASAP last summer. Now no one is trading for a scrub with a PER of 7.0 who is even worse defensively and makes $19 million.
Zollins is signed through 25-26 and Kelon through 26-27. They'd be better off just letting him walk for nothing.
timvp had his work stolen from an espn writer & he got fired
I think a decent number of teams still sees Keldon as a solid bench player. The incompetent ones, mostly.
I think only one does
Sochan came off the bench at Baylor. And that lead to him becoming a top 10 pick. Question is whether he can fit the team long-term if he cannot play next to Wembanyama much. But the defensive possessions with the two of them and Castle have looked really promising.
Keldon might have value in the league. Some teams need a motor off the bench. I just don't know who would give up much for him.
IIRC, KOC also had Castle ranked near the top of his Big Board pre-draft.
Tonight’s game against MIN kind of demonstrated what this team can do with production out of Keldon’s role on the team. Problem is that Keldon has zero consistency, and that’s the problem.
Also, Collins was still ing horrible.
I do think they are wrong about Sochan though. He’s been great this season - the spacing will come.
Gotta strike while the iron is hot.
Keldon did well but he follows it up with stinker 3-12, 0-5 from 3 type of games.
I'm not on the "keep Keldon" train just yet but we also don't need to trade him tomorrow. Let the team get comfortable with each other at this point.
Sochan is the only player we have who can roll effectively on the PnR and who can do damage from the dunker spot.
Some of the takes in here are not aging well![]()
Wake me up when he does this consistently. It's on par with Keldon.
Sochan success rolling to the basket is CP3 obviously a great PG finding him, but also I think Wemby drawing the shot blocker outside with his ability to shoot the 3. Cancels out takes 1 and 3.
Keldon if he continues his play like tonight is a perfect 6th man with his quick offense and motor.
I think they make the playin with the current squad. I doubt they make any moves by deadline, that includes CP3 staying to continue his fine work with the team.
Keldon on all you losers tonight.
Thing is that with his experience he should be ting on us a bit more consistently.
Just like in the other thread based on this conversation, it's pretty clear they don't watch the Spurs and don't know what they're talking about. They basically shredded their credibility in my eyes with that video.
