Somewhere some super Spurs fan is waking up from the coma he fell into after the 2007 season wondering what bizarre planet this is with “Mamu” in place of “Manu”
It didn't take Mamu long to show something. Hopefully Pop gives him some decent playing time so he can show what he can do for our team maybe into next season. I can see pop patting himself on the back after acquiring him.

I was thrilled with SA getting Roby and loved the thought process. But Mamu has already shown more.
Agreed. He looks like he's more of an NBA player.
I'd say Mamu is a very good bet to be retained after this season. He's shown enough already to be intriguing. Has a sense of the game, what to do, has two strong skills in passing and shooting.
Let's get some Manu y Mamu H-E-B commercials going.
Khachapuri Asado Ready-Fresh-Go Meal Deals or something.
Maybe they could do some "I'm from Georgia" jokes. "Oh, did you grow up liking the Atlanta Hawks?" "No... Georgia. The country..."
That’s a good thing we didn’t get Sengun, I can imagine the jokes about Turkey in a HEB commercial…
Sengun seems taller and bigger now. There was a concern that he’s too short for a C and too slow for a PF. But he was dominating and outrebounding our bigs, including Poeltl in previous meetings, and Sengun seems to have gotten bigger.
Will the spirs bring mamu back in free agency?!
He's physical, that's for sure, but he's not taller than Sochan, and an absolute turnstile defending the rim.
Then who won't be retained? The Spurs will add one player and maybe two from this draft.
I’m not worried out it. Deng, KBD, Romeo all goners. I think Tre could get poached (though I hope not). Can see them buying out Berch if needed too.
There will be five or more new players on next year's team.
It would depend on who they draft. Also, if they get an insurance settlement for Khem Birch, that would automatically open a roster spot, since they could then waive him.
If I were anyone below roster spot 10, I wouldn't be buying a house in SA.
At the notion of Jones being "poached". Somehow, I don't see a team breaking the bank for a small guard who can't shoot and isn't adept in any area of half court offense and even in the highly unlikely event someone offered sheeted him and it was for more than the MLE, if the Spurs wanted to they could easily match.
There's basically 11 spots spoken for next season at this writing: Sochan, Johnson, Collins, Vassell, Jones (RFA), 1st round pick, Branham, McDermott, Graham, Bassey, Wesley.
They should target Reid in free agency. The Timberwolves likely can't afford to re-sign him. Turns 24 this off season, floor spacing/rim protecting potential, with solid ball skills and mobility. Could make Collins expendable.
What's a fair price/deal for Tre Jones' return?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
I think Reid is going to be a hot commodity this off- season.. definitely won't be a bargain signing.

Agreed, but the Spurs are well positioned to secure free agents of his ilk.
I agree. We are paying 2-5mm per second rounder. Our dead cap has been running at 10-20mm a year for 5yrs. Need ti start using some of this cap space on decent projects.
No more than 6-8 mil. per year for about 3 years. Some will say he's worth 10 mil. No he's not . If he wants more than that, we can look in free agency and possibly get someone with somewhat similar skills for less. Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu from Chicago come to mind. They aren't the best, but neither is Trey. One is a free agent, one is restricted, but both could probably do what Tre does. Better than Tre will cost a bit more though and I do believe the spurs would spend more on a position that is quite lacking, so Tre needs to evaluate how much he is really worth. The draft and free agency are a few months away, but it's never too early to start planning and looking. Our team will look considerably different next year, especially in the second and third units.
He'll be one of my top target too, Bogdan Bogdanovic also but depends on the logjam.

He can easily get poached more bc I don’t think the Spurs want to commit big money to him. All another team that wants a solid backup PG has to do is offer like 24m/3y to force Spurs hand.

Mamu looks competent and creative on offense while his defense looks bad
He will have to shoot 3s at a high percentage to stick anywhere in the league
Mamu isn't going to move the needle at all, so to speak, but if (begin magical thinking) he were surrounded by a competent other 4 players, with at least 1 or 2 of them being dynamic scorers, then his deficiencies could be minimized and he could help move the ball around with his passing IQ.
