Why would you not want a versatile 4 who looks to be an Anthony Davis level defender? Especially when the Spurs desperately need a PF.
I don’t even want Flagg, but I wouldn’t mind getting #1 and trading back in the top 4 for multiple picks.

So are you calling a season ending injury for Wemby or what?
We'll have to see how his offense develops.
If we assume Castle does well and is the long term point guard, he'll be a way bigger contributor on defense than on offense.
Devin's playmaking skills aren't great.
If Jeremy manages to stay on the roster, that's another defense oriented player.
Obviously we'd take Flagg as the BPA even if it mean getting rid of Jeremy and/or Castle, but if we're talking about fit with Wemby, I'd rather have someone more similar to Markkanen.
No I’m not. I think we get lucky in the lotto again and that Atlanta is seriously going to suck. I think Trae demands out to LA
Don’t believe the hype. He’s never played beyond his age group, other than with some olympians going 80% in a scrimmage. He’s also 6’9”, so I don’t see him leveling up to a seven footer, defensively. He will NOT be able to play full time NBA center, so he’d better get a damn good jump shot, too.
Um he skipped ahead a year and will be at Duke in what should have been his senior season of HS.
That would be the most ridiculous luck ever to win the lottery in arguably the two best years to do so in the last 15 years. Especially from around the 8th to 10th worst record in the league which is probably where the Spurs should be next year after filling some of the worst holes in the roster. Not impossible that Atlanta is terrible but they still won't be throwing games like Brooklyn, Detroit, Portland, and Charlotte will. Maybe Toronto and Utah too.
not unheard of tbh. didn't Cleveland win the lotto like 3 out of 4 years or something after LeBron left?
That's why they flattened the odds, to prevent Process level tanking.
This would be like Cleveland winning the lottery again while they have LeBron making them a respectable team (eg 35 ± 3 wins), which I expect the Spurs to be with second year Wemby, CP3, Castle, no more Point Sochan, no more Point Branham, and no more need to start Champagnie with Barnes in the mix.
Challenge Accepted.
you're a top five poster but you shouldn't be doubling down.
"if samanic panned out"
you could say that about anyone.

sugus: no, the spurs don't have the worst future in the division
sugus: yeah, the spurs will be so good they will have the #1 pick in the draft
choose your lane rētārd.
old ass cp3 about to shatter so many PG records
the spurs aren't tanking, they're making the playoffs. there's no point in losing in the first round.
add an all-star and you're a jokic injury away from making the nba finals.
cp3 will light a fire under pop's ass.
There actually is.
Every playoff series is an invaluable experience.
Can't expect to go from a lottery team right into contention.
OKC went from three seasons out of the playoffs to 57 wins, then lost in the second round because of inexperience and nothing else.
SGA was the only one delivering because he played two series with the Clippers. Everyone else underperformed in Dallas series.
If people expect Spurs to get another top10 pick this season and instantly go to WCF in the next one, they're in for a rude awakening.
Wemby will probably be good enough to play through lack of experience, but the rest of the roster won't.
Unfortunately for Jokic, his team is garbage and he's got easily the worst supporting cast out of any contender if we look at #2-8 options.add an all-star and you're a jokic injury away from making the nba finals
Why are people so afraid of putting our best foot forward and making as much noise and building as much success as possible?
I just loathe how the fanbase has become passive and patient with "trust the system" despite our team history never really being about long, over-rated team builds in the NBA, especially with such high failure rates.
Historically, we have 1-2 down seasons and then we're back to relevance. I LOVED when our fanbase had pride and wanted to fight every game, like loyal football fans. Nowadays, the fanbase are gy, apathetic punters who cream themselves over 2nd round picks and are closer to an MLB fanbase than what we used to be; proud fans.
Winning more than last season, YES!
Winning more games than we lose, NO!
West is too stacked. At best we win 1/3 of the games against the West (17) and 1/2 (17) against the East. That gives us 34 wins for the season, over 50% more wins than last season.
I think Wemby would need to be injured to win only 34 games.
If your smooth brain could comprehend that selectively tanking for a generational prospect is unequal to having a bad future outlook, you wouldn't have said this.sugus: no, the spurs don't have the worst future in the division
sugus: yeah, the spurs will be so good they will have the #1 pick in the draft

But then again, you would have never made a thread predicting the Spurs to have the worst future in their division, only to do a 180º script flip into the "let's push our chips to win now!!" a measly couple years later.
It would've saved us all a lot of time if you'd gotten better education. I don't blame you here - it's cir stances and upbringing, not things you chose. Your parents, though...
Any high end on ball player would just slow down Wemby development as the true PG of the offense. The best offense is when your best player is your primary decision maker. After Lauri there is no one available right now that can speed up the process.

Team Terrible future just got ranked first in having the best draft picks of all teams, obtaining those with trade assets that were significantly worse than the other good teams, by a publication who had a history of crapping on small market teams.
With Wemby frame is not when he will be out but more for how long he will be out
Right, because he just doubled his games played in a year with no issues.
His frame will likely keep him on the floor, unlike the other 7’4”+ behemoths like Yao.
