If paul leaves midseason,That means we aint got a shot at the playoffs and should be tanking.Nah we aint gonna need em.We gonna need to
see if we need wesley or branham for the future after this year.
Yup and branham cant guard anyone.And is incons ent with making shots.Castle the
best choice at the starting sg untill vassell returns.

Exactly.
Tre is a reliable point guard with solid IQ.
But his physical limitations are too much and he's got no range.
Even with the rising cap, he's not worth more than his current contract.
Egor Demin says hi
Agreed he is a solid backup PG who knows the system. Hi brother just signed 1yr for like 3mm. Tre’s market might be similar; 3yrs 15mm at most. Most teams in need of a backup PG would happy to take him but he won’t garner much if anything in return. Only way I see him traded is for salary matching in a bigger deal otherwise keep him till the offseaso. and see where we are at. The same mostly applies to Zollins and Keldon.
Paul/Tre are both free agents after this season. tbd if Wesley's 4th year option will be picked up. certainly the team would want at least one vet PG, and thats assuming Castle becomes a full time PG which is definitely not set in stone, even if thats the current plan.
i dont know if they'd want to bring back Paul, and i dont know if its worth spending 8 figures on Tre Jones to be a backup (made sense to re-sign him last summer when he was being signed as the presumptive starter)
its not a great FA pool either, main appealing guys would be deangelo russell or lonzo (obviously huge red flags there). as an update, lonzo said he intends to play the last few preseason games this year. really curious to see how he looks... his career has been derailed but he improved quite a bit. wound up being a solid shooter and was always a good defender/passer. missing 2 full seasons after only playing 35 in his last season, 55 the year before is obviously jarring, but he's also just about to turn 27

if Castle can simply get someone's minutes off last season's roster, that in itself is a positive. i already see Castle as better guard that either Wesley or Branham. if the spurs start out around .500, Castle will probably be a big part of it.
If Tre would accept a $10-12MM (which is below the MLE) deal, maybe say a 3/$33MM, then I could see the Spurs doing that and it wouldn't be terrible. The franchise obviously loves him.
I don't know if he will ever learn to shoot, but the dude belongs. It's clear to see.
How’d he look tonight?
For the most part it was a Gregg Popovich "don't get a fat head"/"don't play the rookie much after a good game" game. Then he played a lot in the fourth when they ran a very scrappy defensive unit. He's a playmaker on both sides.
he looked good.Gotta find a way to him more playing time.
I'm already like, "he needs to shoot more."
Wow Minix had 8 pts in 5 minutes?
Suddenly our Spurs are relevant again
Wemby
Castle and hopefully Khaman next year
I like Pop’s approach with Castle.
He has everything except an outside shot.
That will take time and thousands of reps.
Low minutes is the best low-pressure situation to work on it while developing his whole game.
1:25 - I didn't realize watching this live that Wemby was pointing out the right read. Dude's smart.
Even if he doesn't develop a 3pt shot, I can definitely see him being effective on ball with his mid range jumper off the drible ala Tony or Dejounte.
If he develops at everything else (defense, playmaking, finishing, getting to the line) as he projects: ranging from solid to great; he could be great for us, maybe even borderline all-star level. For that to happen, though, the other 3 players besides him and Wemby need to be good 3 pts shooters, which probably means Sochan doesn't have much of a future on the SL or the even the roster altogether.
Support this channel with a like, they post complete Castle highlights as quick as possible.
By my count he went 4-15 from 3pt in the preseason
The talent is obvious. So is the hideous shooting.
It will probably take a few years to fix.
Man, every 3 he takes, I want it to go in badly for him. Not for me or the team, just want that shot to go in for him as that would really unlock his game even further. I just want him to keep shooting it if it's there. I like that he also is taking some mid-range shots to mix it up.
Trust, this dude has confidence in spades! Missing shots is just part of the growth…he will only get better and he’s here for it! Super compe ive
