Does he have a FA identical twin? Or you're talking cloning?
This might be a crazy idea but what about Zach Collins?

Spurs should try to get Big Country Reeves in the deal as well.
An identical twin wouldn't have his same name, would he? Poor attempt at being a smartass, tbh.
We don't need a starting C. We have just picked up a HoF project center. If the Spurs want to ease him into the league at PF, we also already have a perfectly fine other starting center in Collins.
Collins probably played 1 season worth of games in the last 4. This is Bassey second major knee injury in 3 years. The FO has their medicals, if they say they need a starting C then the health of those 2 guys are a big reason.
Heh, he's a 9 year pro he isn't that old. Chill fellas
As a season ticket holder and a fan of the franchise before Timmy touched down in North Carolina, I would say don’t be so hard on yourself and your player evaluations. LMAO.
I don’t think Mamu is a bad player and I understand why some gravitate towards him. Especially a certain subsection of fans………. I just feel that his offensive abilities don’t make up for his defensive limitations. I will not cry over the team keeping him or letting him go.
Money can't buy knowledge.
I am cool with him he is a decent bench player but as people have said you want to surround Wemby with talent and also with high good team mates. That kind of showed when he was at Wemby press conference I kind of figured that he would be back and I think he will have some good games for us.
As far as talent or getting a PG or Center I am cool with filling those two positions through home grown talent who knows what Blake, Malaki will show us this upcoming season they could ball out like Reeves did with the Flakers. If they don't work out we probably got 3 draft picks to pick up a good PG or C in the next draft ............
Actually it does, quite often...
With Brook off the market, I don't think there are any starting caliber / clearly better than Zach players left.
If you can't get someone who you think is a clear upgrade, I think it makes sense to roll with what you have and see. There'll be chances to upgrade later (through the draft / free agency), and I don't think the Spurs were going to be contending this year anyway. I think it made sense to sign good players (Brook, Reaves, etc), but there's no point paying for someone else's equivalent depth just to get a different guy.
IMO we never needed someone better than Zack, we needed a solid backup for Zack.
And that's still Plumlee.
Agree. But for available cap space, most of us wouldn't be opposed to a center who can compete to start as well.
how about nurkic trade?
Horrible contract which goes up every year.
I like Plumlee and mentioned him as a target a few weeks ago. But the Clippers will definitely want to keep Plumlee he was solid for them backing Zubac. But given the Clippers are way over the tax I’m not sure what the max they can offer is? Perhaps a cap expert can advise like Chinook.
Gotta be vet min, like what they gave Westbrook.
They might have his Bird rights or whatever. Looking at their boards, it seems like Zubac might be on the auction block (as mentioned here before). I think they want to keep both, but yeah, the cap situation is bad for them and they're going hard for Harden.
Suppose Zubac can pop free or Plumlee can be poached, but the first has a two year contract and Plumlee will likely want more than one year. I'm not sure the Spurs want that.
Plumlee made something like $8 mil last season. I don't think he'd stay for minimum.
Trade for Jonás and be done with it
Hmm, prolly true. I forgot about bird rights. So they could go over min, but I'm nor sure if they'd do so if they are near the 2nd apron territory.
Spurs can definitely try to poach him away if they're not confident in Barlow being the 3rd big this year.
It's the sort of thing where I think the Spurs may be hovering around the Harden and Lillard situations. But... who knows
Still a little hard for me to believe we don’t go out and try to get another legitimate option at center. In a perfect world where you know Zollins and Bassey are healthy, then we’re probably fine. But we’re an injury or two away from it pretty much just being Mamu with Victor playing spot minutes at the 5 as well (which, by all accounts seems like something they’re wanting to avoid for the most part in year one).
Guessing Birch gets waived and Barlow spends most of his time in the G league but if injuries strike maybe they’re banking on Barlow giving spot minutes. Just a real lack of experience between all the potential guys behind Zollins though. Bassey/Mamu/Barlow have combined for a little over 2000 NBA minutes in their careers
He was in and out of the rotation because their current "Coach" is in way over his head and because he has a tendency to get banged up. Mazzulla is also an offense first guy. I don't see him agreeing to be fourth big either. I also don't see him as significantly more useful than Zach Collins. The issue with having both of them is that each are 50 to 60 games a year and no one wants to count on it not being 15 of the same games they are out.
