I don't buy it either and wouldn't want to spend that much for a back up C. But we kinda lack size in comparison to Memphis, Dallas and OKC and there are not that many good Cs on the market. I think we should draft one.
Something to watch for. I don't think Jakob would take too much to get him. Claxton looks like he may need a change of location to get his swag back and swap with whoever is on Spurs roster that are in a similar position.
Will be interesting to see and give insight on plan for 2026 as well if one of these moves are made
jakob or claxton would be ideal
Agreed.
That's just more experimenting. We really need a big PF that can shoot the three, not a center that can't.
just.play.mamu.
He's a great fit offensively. Nonexistent on the other end.
he's never going to be a shot blocker, but him and sochan together can survive 5-8 mins per game when wemby and bassey are taking a breather.
hes never going to be a shotblocker, so he should be able to survive playing alongside another non-shotblocker?
Probably even easier.
Gotta have a backup plan for when we trade Wemby for KD and a first.
OKC grab Theis, by Shams
Pels paid to give Theis away. Probably good ol` top 55 protected 2nd but still, he was there for free
Spending minimum money on Mo Bamba to see if he and his 7'10" wingspan can work synergistically with Wemby for 8-12 mpg would be an experiment I wouldn't mind seeing.
Didnt Bamba play for Texas? There should be a lot of informations available...on paper its a decent solution!!!
Bamba doesn't know how to play basketball.
Not a deal breaker for the Spurs.
not all D is shot blocking, they are both at least decent at guarding and rebounding, a fast lineup would work given the right matchup.
i don't want to spend more than 2 seconds on a backup for Wemby. We can get someone cheap in the summer on the FA market.
Def not Claxton or Poeltl.
Purdle and Claxton are interesting targets for us to be interested in. Would not be totally shocked if Spurs wanted to give 2-big lineups another try. We're just in love with the concept non-shooting lineups. I'm not a fan.
I call bull on expensive non-shooting centers as targets. Even just expensive, for that matter, think they must have learnt that lesson.
Keldon for Poeltl. Do it Mitch... I mean BWright.
imo theyre going to be too expensive. right now, 2025 is the only remaining year where we have excess FRPs. the other years have swaps and whatnot (26, 28, 30, 31), or are ATL's outright (27)... but its one pick per year.
i dont know if i want to give one of the valuable 2025 picks, or give us a year without a FRP, for a backup C
if we can get either for keldon and SRPs id be for it... im just not sure we can get either without giving a FRP or a swap or something
I agree. I do think Jak can probably be had for SRPs, but it still doesn't make sense (and I love Jak).
Would be hilarious for Toronto to give us Jak back after we just took the #8 pick off them for him.
Bassey is out today. I guess it’s Mamu, Sochan, and Wemby tonight. Luckily ATL doesn’t have a dominating big man.
Claxton's salary is $27mil. I can't see the Spurs paying that much for a back up center.
