If Paul stays around for another year, then next year’s agreement will be to come off the bench unless he’s needed to start. He can take it or leave it.
Kawhi left because he wanted to play in LA. Otherwise if it was just beef with the Spurs he wouldn't have left that Toronto team that was such an amazing fit around him.

Who is Plan B if Hurley says no? The guy I have always wanted if Pop was out of the picture was Ty Lue but he signed an extension through 2029 last summer.
The coaching market is so dry, man. Which established NBA coach is ready to jump if you make a call right now?

Im not that updated on up and coming coaches tbh. There’s no “vet” coach that interests me. Hopefully Castle can sway Hurley tbh esp now that Uconn isnt goodWho is Plan B if Hurley says no?

I haven’t been keeping up with the Suns at all but is KD still a SF or is he better suited as a PF. Either one would be useful but getting him next year would be amazing for the Spurs. He would fit in seamlessly and covers up a lot of our weaknesses. That’s my target next year. Pick up him. Draft the Wolf. Sign Bogdan. Get Sochan on a 12 million a year deal and then trade his ass and Vassell and 2 FRPs for KD . Re-sign CP3 as our back up.
And our team could be:
Fox
Castle
KD
Barnes
Wemby
Bench:
CP3
KJ
Bogdan
The Wolf
random filler
Why would you post a dream scenario that still contains Keldon on the team?
My dream scenario would look something like this:
Starting lineup
Fox
Castle
((Insert 6'8" 3 and D guy))
((Insert 6'8" 3 and D guy))
Wemby
Bench
CP3
Vassell
Sochan
Barnes
((Insert rim protecting big))
Close thread. Common sense ain't so common
In what World is it common sense to limit the minutes of your rookie of the year candidate with the excuse of "it doesn't matter, he will get his minutes next season". Imagine if we did that to Wemby last season.
In a world where winning isn't the goal
Spurs defense is poor due to poor rebounding, unable to secure stops. Spurs heavily relying on Wemby to not only defend the paint but clean up on the boards. This is due to personal and since the trade, it has gotten worse. For example, Barnes is just a bad rebounder. He has played PF for a lot of his career and never avg more than 7 rebounds, despite averaging over 30 mins per game. His career numbers is 4.8 rebounds per game at 31mins per game.
Since the trade, I would have assume Fox would have replaced Paul in the starting line-up, but I suppose the Spurs are not happy who's playing the 3. Sochan has beefed up a bit and I have to assume they told him he will be playing big. Barnes is too slow as a dedicated 3. Castle is undersize as the 3 as well. Julian just isn't starting quality.
Playing Vassell is kinda the best choice, but his undersize for that position as well. It was painful watching him trying to defend Franz the other night. But regardless, all the guards are not good defenders and are playing down a position for the most part. No wonder Wemby is just gassed this far in the season.
That makes even less sense. The logic behind not giving a rookie more minutes is because you want to win and therefore give veterans more minutes.
If winning isn't the goal, then all the more reason to give your promising rookie more playing time to help him develop for the future.
The kick here is that playing Castle more gives us both, a quicker developing curve for him and a bigger chance to win games.

The old man shouldn’t be anywhere near here at all. Maybe just one game but the front office would need a serious overhaul if they expect a 75 year old man coming off a stroke to save the season. I can’t believe dumb Reddit fans are expecting him to come back and not miss a beat (like his system hasn’t been outdated for years now).
Castle ain't that type of rook. He's already playing like a vet who will win games
Any assistants on Taylor Jenkins' staff we can poach? Seems like that the team that always finds a way to competeWho is Plan B if Hurley says no? The guy I have always wanted if Pop was out of the picture was Ty Lue but he signed an extension through 2029 last summer.
Well, all the more reason to play him more. Bro, I gotta be honest with you. After calling for it, you aren't displaying a whole lot of common sense, tbh
I just said we're not trying to win games...if castle equals wins...you dont play him
Under that reasoning, why don't we bench Wemby and Fox too?
C'mon dude, you aren't making any sense. The Spurs are clearly trying to win and get Wemby some playoffs experience. Mitch is just sucking with his rotations right now.
Cause they're not winning
They just did. You don't play Wemby the entire 4th if you are trying to tank. Also, not winning doesn't mean not wanting to win. They wouldn't have traded for Fox if they didn't want to win. Just accept you are wrong on this one and move on.
The kid has RotY sitting there for the taking but go ahead and tell him why he isn't starting/getting bigger minutes despite clearly earning them these last couple weeks. Maybe end of season awards aren't a big deal to some, but they are to others and it might be to him. Wemby certainly cared about his. Meanwhile, CP3 is probably in his last season and we are trending to not be in the postseason/play-in and yet he still has to start which pushes the next couple guys out of position (and it shows). I appreciate CP3 coming this year, but at this point I hope a buyout happens and he can jump to a contender and ring chase.
Dumbass coach....First you bench castle.Then you give him less min as well.Looks like our own front office is
trying very hard to stop castle getting roty award for sum reason.
If the Spurs weren't trying to win Fox would have been shut down on arrival to SA and gotten his pinkie surgery. This is Mitch pushing for wins still as sad as that is to say. Barely escaping DC with a win against a team missing multiple main guys is embarrassing.
