As some of you know, I'm french, and 2 days ago I had the chance to meet a guy who plays basketball (at a senior level) with Victor's father (he actually showed me pictures of them together for those who would doubt what I'm saying). I asked him if they had any preference about the team that would land him. He replied that what Victor said was true, he would be happy playing for any team tanking to get him. But the family knows that being coached by pop would be just perfect. So I guess we can assume he'd love to be in SA.
The next couple of drafts, although way too early, project to be really bad. I doubt the Spurs will continue tanking past this year.
Unfortunately, he doesn't have a say in the team picking him.
Unless your a Kobe Bryant then you get yourself a wink wink trade that benefits him and LA.
Sure, but at least we know he won’t want out if he comes to SA.
Love the Dodge Ball reference.
Yep, I bet they go with the strategy from when they signed Robinson. Really, they would need to find a stud point guard to really contend.
You'd probably have to replace Keldon on the starting frontline to get that decent team as well as see an unbelieveable upward development of Branham from his rookie year...that's if you mean a chance for a championship. Not to mention that Sochan and Devin aren't exactly proven yet themselves. Your lineup would be a pretty daring starting five compared to some other teams. But it could be exciting and fun to watch. We'll see.
Doesn't matter. Spurstalk true fans are going to watch and cheer them on every game---and haters are gonna and moan about how they could manage the team and coach better than anyone in power.
Down the stretch its going to be terrible were going to see a lot more teams start tanking hard
True, but I think only Charlotte's the one in range to push down past SAS and I'm not sure that's happening.
It's already started. Det opted to pull a chris webber instead of attempting a tying or winning shot.

Pistons just called a timeout they didn't have, big yikes. Bulls will shoot a technical free throw and then gain possession of the ball. Pistons went from taking the final shot trailing by 2, to now having to quickly foul and pray for two missed free throws. That might do it.

He'll be fine. His defense is a strong point for him and already one of the best in the World. He's altering so many shots, opponents have to completely redefine their offensive strategy to counter his presence.
Defending the post up may be a weakness but there's so much more to defending than just that.
Triple jumping is probably the hardest discipline on one's joints that exists in athletics. He would know a thing or two about preserving that.
Pathetic showing by the Pacers.
2 in a row. !
We have Devin Vassell to thank for that, especially since he doesn't want Victor here in the first place.
Players don’t give a about the draft. Vassell’s prob tired of seeing fans talk about it and it motivated him even more tbh. Same with the other guys. They just wanna win. That’s why it’s up to the coaches to throw out bad lineups and pull guys who are shooting well, etc. to ensure tanking.
100%.
Why it's been such a pleasant suprise to see Popped doing his job in the 2nd most influencial season of his career.
But WTF, I'm sure his assistants didn't go against his orders.
And he only hires Yes Men.
Now in fairness, Pacers sucked mega balls tonight. Nembhard is a certified , i remember him from Gonzaga.
But agree 100 this is where Pop needs to step up.
He was doing fantastic.

Graham took over McD's cannot miss 3ptrs role tonight.
That could become two costly wins. I fully expect the Spurs to win both HOU games as well, which would put us at 18 and dangerously close to Charlottes 20.
I’m sure Pop will sit Vassell on the 2nd night of the b2b. Hey the guy is already 22
