By my count it’s ~15M once they cut Graham and renounce Cedi and Mamu. They can get more by waiving Bassey, Champagne, and renouncing Barlow, but I think that would be a mistake since those are cheap/useful deals.
Next year I want these players on the roster with Wemby.
Vassell
Sochan
Jones
Wesley
Sidy
I could care less about anyone else on the roster. If we need to use them for trade value, so be it. With that being said, I would not be opposed to Johnson and Barlow returning.
the rest of the roster is fodder though. We do not have the time or patience for these players to find themselves. We have already wasted one year of the Golden Child's career. We cannot waste another.
We can’t have another year of Tre Jones mate. The dude can’t pass to our “golden child” as u call him…
he’s too undersized and bad passer to start. Wemby is gonna lose it
either him or Wesley on the bench. Not both
Sidy and Wesley are also fodder
And Defense too.
Other team has an advantage 29 out of 30 games.
Puts more stress on Wama.
yep.
It’s quite fascinating to see Tre being seen as “ok for the future” in most fans projections tbh
what is "cap holds"? If we have 118 millions in salary and the salary cap is 141 millions, why don't we have 23 millions in cap space?
There's no one in your list who matters to the Spurs success.
I mean... "ok for a backup", sure... not vital or necessary, but ok until you can upgrade.... as a starter? No, he's not "ok"..
Tre has probably been the most consistent spurs all year… (outside wemby) he’d be great as a backup. I think he is a good passer but there’s absolutely no spacing on the court to make passes lol

Consistent in what exactly?
he’s smart enough to put his numbers but he can’t pass to the most important player. Victor is more willing or able to pass to Tre then the other way around.
it’s kind of a massive issue to me
He’s only doing ok for 2 reasons , first the rest is horrible and gives a perception of ok for Tre who's smart (I suspect cynical) compared to others, second no team scouts Tre or cares about him, any time they focus on him he’s shut down.
all he does is dribble dribble dribble and either pass on the perimeter or go for a layup usually using Victor as a decoy
His career is in Europe not in NBA
I think Wemby wants to be the best, and wants to be coached by the best. So keeping Pop here actually maybe important in keeping VW happy. He definitely looks up to Pop. But moving forward, they need to upgrade the assistant coaching staff while Pop sticks around. If they are so forward thinking, they need to have a replacement plan in the works that VW feels comfortable with so he's not just here to learn from Pop.
Sidy is another guy the front office drafted that can’t shoot. They love those
Gave me a little chuckle with my morning joe.
It’s OK to draft players with even multiple holes in the second round, and hope they hit on fixing 3-4 of them.
If next season is another top 5 worst finish well see how happy victor really is
Have you watched any interviews with Vic about Pop? They work a lot one on one, and Victor loves the lessons. He sounded sad that the season is ending, and with it, those sessions.Gave me a little chuckle with my morning joe.
You hate Pop, and that’s fine. Just know that not everyone, and probably no one in the organization feels that way. You’re on despair island with the rest of the fools here.
How’s that Draymond thread going, BTW? Anyone else entering the discussion, or is it just you bumping your own thread every few weeks, and me hectoring you? If you keep self bumping, you’ll go blind.
To play devil’s advocate, I get it.
PATFO drafted Kawhi who couldn’t shoot and became elite with good work ethic. Among all the criterias ppl are looking at in a prospect, shooting is probably the easiest to improve on.
you can’t teach size or character (defensive grit for ex), that’s why I can (still refuse to lol) understand Sochan’s choice.
And that’s why I personally would bet on Cody Williams because there isn’t one profil that offers more upside in this draft (aside Sarr maybe)
+ Sidy was 2RP
I don't have much hope for Sidy, and hope I'm wrong, but I'm definitely happier with rolling the dice on SRPs than I am trading them for cash considerations.
Kawhi could shoot tbh. Watching his combine footage, you could see he had the touch, feeling and coordination to become a shooter. It was a question of putting on the work and repe ions, maybe twisiting a couple things. Sidy is too raw in that domain to ever become a reliable shooter.
It's not that simple to teach how to shoot, and not automatic, specially with big dudes. The player must have it in him. You can work all you want, if a player don't have what it takes he'll never be a shooter in the NBA.
Kawhi had a bad shot mate, it was THE reason he wasn’t top10
And I’m not comparing him to Sidi nor have I seen enough of him to know why Spurs picked him tbh. I’m just talking in principle. I get the logic
There are so many different intangibles tho…

I mean there’s nothing for Wemby to be thrilled about with the season. Every teammate he has sucks. They can’t even throw a lob pass to a guy 7ft 4. They can’t throw an entry pass. They can’t play defense. They can’t shoot. They can’t play a style of ball other than running around with their head cutoff. They make some of the dumbest decisions in the clutch both offensively and defensively. And the coach is washed.
If I were an A+ and I was in a group full of D- people then I would the out
Kawhi could not shoot. He had that busted catapult shot.
