The end of the season gave Pop the opportunity to play many young players, and it would be interesting to guess who will still be a Spur next season.
Here are the guys I’d like to see next season :
Sochan
Vassell
Johnson
Collins
Jones
Branham
Mamukelashvili
Bassey
Champagnie
Barlow
Wesley
I’m still intrigued by Langford, he was injured these last games but maybe a good Summer can help him secure his spot. But I’m not very confident about this…
I’d trade McDermott, Bates-Diop, Graham and Dieng.

Forget about Mamu?
KBD has played pretty darn well this year. If he doesn’t get a bag thrown at him, he should return. It will take a while to trade both McD and Graham, so plan on them being on the roster until February. Dieng has zero trade value, and should be allowed to roll off. Langford has been beyond mid. I’d be shocked if they even extend a qualifying offer. If we do trade back from a post lottery 2 or 3 position to get another FRP, he’s certainly gone.
We just had this thread yesterday?. https://www.spurstalk.com/forums/sho...0#post10882480
Its the same thing! Td21 state of the spurs
Yes sorry, I wanted to write his name properly and finally forgot about him, of course he’s a keeper.
Sorry I didn’t see it, I mean I looked à the most recent thread’s les and I when I saw this le I didn’t think it would talk about this. I just wanted the last game to be done but had this thread in mind for a while.
I could move on from Langford, but can see the team keeping him.
KBD seems like a near-lifer for the Spurs, although his playing time may dwindle and he could want to move on.
I see Graham and McDermott on the Poeltl/Richardson track, traded at the deadline next season. Supposedly their near-expiring contracts will be valuable, too.
KBD will definitely not get any bags thrown at him. He is who he is. A low to mid range salary player. That’s it. It’s really up to the spurs of they keep him.
Tre Jones/Devonte' Graham/Blake Wesley
Devin Vassell/Malaki Branham
Keldon Johnson/Doug McDermott/Julian Champagnie
Jeremy Sochan/Sandro Mamukelashvili
Zach Collins/Charles Bassey
13. SA 2023 FRP (Victor Wembanyama/Taylor Hendricks/Jarace Walker/Anthony Black)
14. SA 2023 2RP (Julian Strawther/Trayce Jackson-Davis)
15. Free Agent (Naz Reid)
16. Two-Way (Dominck Barlow)
17. Two-Way (Luka Garza)
Khem Birch, KBD gone. Love someone's idea of Gorgui Dieng in a staff position with SA. SA trades away the TOR 2023 2RP.
Pop is clearing cap space to give McDermott a max offer.
It's going to be tough with all the other NBA teams after Dougie, but i think CIA Pop will come thru again.
He’s a vet so his max will be super high but I think he’s well worth it hopefully we get it done
Langford can't stay healthy, otherwise i think they would've prob negotiated something by now.
KBD should be thrown into the sun. Keep Barlowe, keep Mamu, everyone else adios.
So most everyone wants the spurs to bring back just about the entire team.
The Spurs are not good and need almost a complete overhaul of the roster.
Keep
Collins, Mamu, Sochan, Branham and Wesley
Move on from all the others
Package Vassell and/or Johnson and draft picks to get future potential all stars at the wings.
The players I'd keep are not all star level players but good role players/backups.
I don't see why Mamu, Wes and Barlow are keepers when they have zero trade value.
KBD , Tre and Julian are plug and play guys that you can front load and have positive value through their contract.
Bring Mamu and Wes and Barlow into camp and let them battle it out with the second rounder and undrafted guys.
Uh, Wes has a guarantee, and the only FRP that the Spurs have dumped this quickly showed his wiener around. Wes has a spot for next year, at least. When the first rounders start piling up, that’s a different discussion that is at least a year away.
If Spurs get Wemby I can indeed see them pulling a trade or two, specially with their boatload of picks, to try and build a compe ive team around Vic. Victor or not actually, this team is badly missing star power.
If we get him I do not seeing them do anything drastic the first year better to see what we truly have before trying to fit vet pieces in. As I said before even if we get Wemb will still be a bad team and hopefully get another lottery pick as we desperately need upgrade in talent. So if your thinking of a fast return to the NBA finals think again but if he does work out then I can see us doing serious damage in playoffs 2027 and continuing that until his wheels falls off

get a better after the draft
Pretty cool we get a 3rd Two-Way slot this year from the new CBA
Especially since we have reaped some gold from those lately.
I want Mamu back. He would be an important piece to the puzzle should our draft go as well as I want. If we do luck into Wemby, then I do want to trade back into the 1st. If that means using Langford and some future assets, so be it. Get me Kris Murray. If these two picks come to fruition, we would need to stress out about the 2nd round picks. Even though I don't really want him, let's say we trade away the first of our second round picks in the Murray trade, but with the second one we draft Edey. I know he doesn't really have an NBA body or athleticism. However, just the thought of having Wemby and Edey on the floor at the same time for small stretches of the game would be fun to watch.
The problem with Edey is that the mismatches he creates aren’t as valuable as the mismatches created against him on defense.
I wouldn’t be shocked if they get Wemby, that Johnson plus the Bulls pick and the Hawks pick to try and get up there in the late lottery.
Or use them to trade. That's a lot of young guys or role/end of bench players in that roster. you want some more talent and vet presence, guys who know how to win.
Wait, what? you want to trade: Keldon Johnson PLUS Chicago's pick (potentially good) PLUS (unprotected) Atlata's pick for a late lottery pick this year? I'm reading that right? To target whom? Honestly I wouldn't trade Keldon alone for such a pick, maybe one of the 2 picks (but not both) plus a few seconds at most... not many guys I'd love in that range.
Way too soon. Spend your assets prematurely and 4 years down the road you're at risk of finding yourself where Dallas is now. IMO if we get Wemby then we should continue to build organically, developing the young talent, and taking advantage of the opportunities that may present themselves. In short, not more tanking but not forcing the issue either, kind of like where Indiana and Utah are right now, and trending up from that point on. That's the optimal scenario if we land Wemby, IMO.
