    1 year, $11mil. Not the worst deal. Wonder if this means Castle is viewed as a wing?

    Finally the earth shattering move the Spurs Media Braintrust has prepped us for.
    There's a good chance CP3 will mentor Castle like he did for SGA

    What will be the Spurs’ record with CP3? He’s not here to lose. He took OKC to the playoffs. And with PG13 leaving the Clippers, the Dubs losing Klay, etc. The Spurs might slip in there in the playoffs, maybe.

    1 Thunder
    2 Nuggets
    3 Timberwolves
    4 Mavericks
    5 Grizzlies
    6 Suns
    7 Kings
    8 Spurs
    9 Pelicans
    10 Rockets
    11 Lakers
    12 Clippers
    13 Warriors
    14 Jazz
    12 Trailblazers

    I actually like this move, especially if Castle starts at SF next to him rather than backing him up. If not, Jones should be traded, even though you want PG depth with his age.
    come on, enough with that. He's not going to see a minute as a sf, at least in principle. He'd have to flop really hard to be considered a sf.

    Do you see any of the teams below better? The Spurs are not tanking for sure. They will play the right way with CP3 on the helm. And I doubt if the Spurs are done. I expect to see another 2 vets signing.

    Yes? Like, all of them other than the Jazz and Blazers

    You think CP3 is the added piece we need to pick up the 20+ game gap between us and the teams above? You also left out the Grizzlies, who should also be better than us.

    Yeah I think the only team the Spurs are a lock to be better than are the Jazz and Blazers. Even the Blazers with Clingan and Avdija should improve by 5-10 wins just for their size and defense.

    Thunder
    Wolves
    Nuggets
    Mavs

    Suns
    Grizzlies
    Pelicans
    Lakers
    Kings

    Clippers
    Warriors
    Rockets

    Spurs
    Blazers
    Jazz

    If you think Castle has a chance to be a player in this league, there might not be a better person for him to spend every day with.

    As usual, it all hinges on if certain first round draft picks show up to camp with a reliable three.

    @ Clippers at 12 with Kawhi and Harden on the team. Pelicans also got better. Lakers and Dubs are trying to add pieces. We're tanking and might, just might make it to the 10th seed.

    Who's a better pick? Dillingham or Nunez?

    CP3 will prevent this team from playing like a discombobulated mess. Towards the end of last year, the team started to play sharper and hesitated less on running plays. I think with CP3 we start that way instead of ending that way and feed off that momentum as the season goes along. Structure is an underrated aspect of how successful a team is vs the talent that is on the team. Folks are going to be surprised how good the team is, IMO. This is like how night and day it was when Tre was running the show vs how Sochan was… and how much the team looked better because of it.

    No. It seems basically certain he'll play some SF at this point. To think otherwise is just putting one's head in the sand. Unless you think he and Paul will never play together.

    Another component here is that stars on other teams will see how well Paul and Wemby play together and will desire to flock over here even more after seeing it. Folks here need to hope this works out well and translates well, because it won’t look good if adding Paul doesn’t translate to wins. It might make people’s minds change about Wemby and they will believe that he isn’t a winner. The narrative will change and people will think he is a career loser.

    why do people think castle will start? I think it's a given that he will not. I mean...

    He'd probably be the SF on the bench too. Color me all kinds of skeptical that Branham will be sent to the deep bench so that Castle could play the two.

    Paul, Jones
    Vassell, Branham
    Champangie, Castle
    Sochan, Johnson
    Wembanyama, Collins


    That would be the likely rotation to my eyes if Castle comes off the bench.

    Top 10 picks have historically started for the team. They’re held to a higher standard.

    I didn't expect Spurs to sign another point guard.
    I guess having CP3's leadership was too good to pass on and I can get behind the decision.

    Castle should and will start, but having both Castle and Jeremy on nominally forward positions won't work.
    Jeremy has to be benched and I think 6th man role would be way better for him at this stage of his career.
    Wesley is most likely definitely gone, he has no NBA skills whatsoever.

    I'd also prefer to move Tre. If he stays, Castle won't be getting any minutes as the primary ballhandler.
    Start CP3 and Castle, but stagger their minutes so one of them is always on the floor.
    30mpg for both. Together on the floor to start and close the game out. 18mpg for Castle as the point guard sounds reasonable.

    Hopefully we move Tre+Keldon for a starting wing and then get another wing in FA to space the floor.

    CP3/Devin/Castle/?/Wemby starters.
    Malaki/?/Jeremy/? off the bench, at least as the initial rotation.

    I think Malaki is useless, but Pop still hasn't given up on him.
    I put a question mark for backup C position because I detest Collins and I'm hoping he gets moved.
