They have two incoming draft picks to look for a big man to develop next year. Theis would have been a nice emergency backup.
I admit that I mostly agree-- even though Bamba's career 3pt% is currently higher than KJ's, Sochan's, and Wemby's-- but I think it's worth a minimum salary experiment. I only think it has a small chance of working because of the possibly synergy of the two outlandish wingspans defending side by side, along with Bamba potentially camping on the 3 pt line while Wemby works the floor offensively.

Valanciunas to Sacto for Spurs legendy Cidy and 2x SRP
Mo Bamba.
His wingspan is 7'10", wemby's is 8'!!
Dom Barlow would be perfect
Welp Olenynk and Sims got traded Big men are looking thin unless we sign somebody from anothe league a la Boban and Baynes
holding out hope we can get drummond tomorrow, not that theres been smoke
As posted in another thread ( link ), Bassey is expected to be back just after the ASG.
Given that, it's possible Spurs don't add another big or go only for a 10 days contract with a g-league center.
It's not like Bassey was exclusively getting the back-up C minutes. He has been playing behind Sochan the 2weeks-past month. They should still get their back-up C. Sochan isn't a C, Bassey isn't a rotation player sadly.
Maluach
There are 2 different issues:
- Fixing the backup C spot.
- Having a playable C when Wembanayama isn't on the court and when Sochan at C fails for the last 35 games of the season.
Bassey hasn't and won't fix the backup C. However, his injury being a minor one means that Spurs need less to go after players like Mo Bamba, Jericho Sims or Daniel Theis to finish the season.
Damn, the Lakers just landed Mark Williams from Charlotte for Knecht, Reddish, a 2031 unprotected FRP, and a 2030 pick swap.
I think there's a middle where you temporarily fix the back-up C position for the play-in push. I just don't know who. But I don't think Bassey is sufficient for a play-in push.
Bring back Boban!!!
Someone said Drummond will never play for the Spurs as he doesn't like the Spurs. Not sure if there is something to that, or if it was based on the that went down last game against him?
Would a swap of Keldon for Nurkic and one of Phoenix's FRPs that they got from Utah (late FRP) work? Nurk is very bad on offense but is better as a backup, IMO.
Nurkic is very bad on defense too. I wouldn’t want that contract on the books for next season, we just got rid of Zollins’s, Nurk’s might be worse.
Nurkic is a re .
When Manu retired, Nurkic's farewell mesage had a picture of him dunking on Manu.
And his legs are gone after all those injuries, he's even slower than Collins.
If we're shipping Keldon out but don't want to us FRPs, get Vucevic here.
Hawks game has shown us we won't get far without a reliable backup big.
Uggh. I didn't know about the Manu thing. Scratch the Nurk idea. Let that dude rot in Coach Bud's doghouse.
That said Crafted Plus minus and EPM rate him highly on defense.
Kelly Olynyk if he gets bought out or waived?
A bit more than 6 hours left, I'm kind of getting nervous about this, last night it looked like we won't get far without a legit backup big.
Cmon Brian, don't push us into doubters camp again.
The trade wouldn't work CBA wise. Suns are above the 2nd apron, they can't aggregate players in trade or take more salaries. Nurkic salalary is $18.1M and Keldon's one is $19M. And Nurkic kinda sucks now.
As some other have said, there is the Yabusele option for this summer. Sixers are in a tough spot to keep him because of CBA rules. Right now, it looks like Sixers will have to decide between keeping Yabusele and keeping Oubre. Even if they decide to go for Yabusele, he will be an unrestricted free agent and might decide to go elsewhere.
Yabusele fit with Spurs is interesting: he worked well alongside Wembanyama during the Olympics but he played a lot of C this year with Sixers because of Embiid's knees. If Spurs go after him this summer with their MLE, he might be able to fit two roles.
From my understanding Sixers are making all these smaller moves to free up space for Yabusele's extension, they really like him.
