Thank you ace3g for delivering this thread its intended purpose
The San Antonio Spurs are among several teams expected to have interest in Yabusele during free agency, league sources told HoopsHype.
Yabusele played on the French National Team that won a silver medal in the Paris 2024 Olympics with Spurs star Victor Wembanyama.

Anytime
yeah castle was basically chalk to SAS in every major mock draft after the lottery. nobody else was seriously mocked here at #4 from memory.
Yabusele for the BAE wouldn’t be bad as long as we draft a legit center to go along with it.
he played a ton of center for philly last year but its possible that made him look worse than he is, as theres no real reason he shouldnt get by as a 4
The 6'8 260 lb. Frenchman avg'd 11/6/2 on 50/38/73 splits last season with Philadelphia. Would give the Spurs some frontcourt depth tbh.
Yeah he has no real business playing center IMO. I’d probably rather prioritize wings who can play the 3 and 4 as opposed to a guy like Yabusele but if we’re just talking BAE-type money then he’d be a solid pickup.
Draft a wing at 14 (pick your favorite of Bryant, Coward or Clifford)
Trade 38 + future SRP to snag Kalkbrenner at the end of the 1st or early 2nd
Use MLE on a wing like NAW
Use BAE on Yabusele
Would be pretty much perfect offseason at this point if we’re ignoring trade scenarios that we almost know for certain the Spurs won’t do
Yabu would give us some of that throwback Antoine Carr/JR Reid/Charles Smith energy at PF that we had in the mid 90s, tbh.
I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing... but it's a vibe.
Sounds like we've created quite the mess of our guard and wing rotations with this hypothetical offseason.Yeah he has no real business playing center IMO.

PG: Fox/Harper/Wesley
SG: Castle/Vassell/NAW
SF: Champ/Keldon/#14
PF: Barnes/Sochan/Yabu
I suppose it's some decent depth but sorting out a rotation would be tough (we must assume that MATFO is gonna give PoF their minutes)
Fair...the real answer is consolidating a bit via trade but I'm not going to get my hopes up
Yeah... I'd like that to, but I'm going to start operating under the assumption that the PoF is going to be here and we should just accommodate for that. I'm starting to get bullish on some improvement from Devin based on these coaching hires, Jeremy is still on the Jeremy path and Keldon is a known quan y. I have serious concerns about Devin and Keldon sharing the court with one another... but into the great unknown we go!Fair...the real answer is consolidating a bit via trade but I'm not going to get my hopes up
i this having champagnie starting ahead of vassell is a bold assumption
Fox/Harper
Vassell/NAW
Castle/Champ/14
Barnes/Sochan/Yabu (yabu probably also plays some degree of 5)
That's fine... but you left out Keldon!
For sure. Vassell in a smaller, more off-ball type role where he can hopefully focus more defensively is totally fine with me. You have to give Sochan another year with him barely being 22 years old. Barnes is a great shooter so I don't mind keeping him but he probably should be getting closer to 15-20 mpg as opposed to 25-30.
Keldon definitely seems like the odd man out. If you reduce Barnes's minutes and move Keldon, the logjam doesn't look nearly as bad.
That’s why a trade would‘ve made sense. At least one forward gotta go.
Send Keldon out and bring on John Collins or Santi.
Daniel Gafford intends to sign a 3-year contract extension worth nearly $60 million with Dallas, per ShamsCharania.
You can stop including Gaff in your trade fantasies.
As much as the league is shifting back to positional size and more two big alignments, Davis as a full time four and Flagg as a full time three is too retro to be tenable offensively, especially with their limited back court creation (and going on 34 by his expected mid season return, post torn ACL Irving isn't single handedly fixing it).
It only makes sense if if makes him more valuable as an in season trade asset.
Reporting is that Gafford's extension is sized in a way that makes it immediately trade eligible. I'm not familiar with those rules, but I believe the people saying it.
Eh i could see Lakers.
Hes going to have suitors, he showed he can play an entire season, with a better rounded roster theres times you can hide him, just needs his minutes limited.
Would fit with the lakers Dallas or Indiana.
If I was CP3, id go to Indiana. Well rounded team. Great shot at the finals if some improvements on The margins by Mathurin etc are made.
Adams got 13 million a year
Gafford got 20
For the people saying we need to get a big in free agency, even though it's just a backup one, it's not going to be cheap.
Any player who has any history of defending the rim probably costing you 10 mil a year.
I saw some people on here thinking we could get somebody like Capela for super cheap. Highly unlikely.
