    Player Kornhub

    Since the all star break: Spurs are +244 with Wembanyama on the court in 453 minutes. Spurs are -49 with Kornet on the court in 238 minutes. +/- is to me the most important stat for Kornet. It's fine if a 15mpg backup center isn't a great player, but Spurs shouldn't be crushed when Wembanyama...

    Game Thread Spurs (46-17) vs Rockets (39-23) (Sun 03/08/26) [7:00PM CDT]

    I really don't get what Rockets' FO is trying to do. Their roster isn't well build with a lack of guards and they did nothing to fix it at the trade deadline while their best player is 37 years old. Are they really hopping that an aging FVV coming from ACL surgery is the missing piece ?

    Draft 2026 NBA Draft Prospects Thread

    Wright has helped Spurs ability to keep everybody with the way he structured Vassell and Kornet's contract. He will likely do the same with Champagnie this summer. At the end, it will mainly depend on what kind of luxury tax Spurs' ownership is willing to pay. If they are fine to pay a...

    Draft 2026 NBA Draft Prospects Thread

    Most of the projected mid first round picks are quite straightforward to evaluate with obvious strengths and weaknesses. The difficult part is how these players could help Spurs. Spurs might have their main 9 players rotation set until 2029 with Fox, Castle, Vassell, Champagnie, Wembanyama...

    Draft 2026 NBA Draft Prospects Thread

    In the 2025 draft, only 4 college early entrants were drafted in the second round. On these 4 players, 2 (Flemming at #31 and Thiero at #36) were on the bubble to be first round picks. NIL money has just changed everything for second round picks. Some mock drafts have currently more than half...

    Draft 2026 NBA Draft Prospects Thread

    They're having in France an event to promote prospect with a combine. Some interesting measurements: 2026 draft is a poor draft for French prospects. There has been some talk here about Oscar Wembanyama and Ngoy here, so these are their measurements. Yimga-Moukouri and Soliman are high...

    News Official 2025-2026 Buyout Thread

    When you look at it, Spurs already have a pure shooter at the end of their bench with Waters. 82.4% of his shots are threes and he is taking 10.1 threes per 36 minutes. On the negative side, he has little playoffs experience and he is making 36.4% of his threes while shooting specialist are...

    If Spurs want a great shooter with playoffs experience, there is Eric Gordon. He is likely done and will do very little else but he sure can shoot.

    Player Mason Plumlee is signing a 10-day contract with the San Antonio Spurs [Shams]

    Spurs could add two kind of player: - A player to take Carter Bryant spot in the rotation. - A player, likely a pure shooter, who will be at the very end of the bench. This is the Steve Kerr kind of player. Middleton is clearly in the first category. What Spurs should do depends on your...

    Player Mason Plumlee is signing a 10-day contract with the San Antonio Spurs [Shams]

    So, Spurs signed him for the rest of the season without him playing a single minute and while they could have given him a second 10 days contract. That's surprising. I guess they really wanted to have a Kevin Willis kind of player at the end of their bench. I still think they also need a Steve...

    Player The Refurbished Budget Wine Cellar of Julian Champagnie

    I've had the same thought that a future expansion might push Spurs to trade their first round pick away, but, after looking at it, the whole expansion process is said to take between 3 and 5 years. 2029 is too far in the future to start worrying about protected players...

    News Official 2025-2026 Buyout Thread

    Buyout deadline is in two days. It will be interesting how the league fighting against tanking will affect it. Tanking teams might be cautious and avoid buying out players that are productive for them. The main buyout won't be for Spurs. If a player like Middleton is available, I doubt Spurs...

    Misc MISC Spurs 2025-26 Season Thread

    It seems to be more a move for Austin Spurs than for San Antonio Spurs: Umude will keep playing for Austin with a gleague contract and Miller will give them an additional quality player.

    Draft Atlanta Hawks Pick-Swap Watch Thread

    Hawks missing the playoffs is obviously the most important, it would be nice if Hawks pick is before Clippers pick. Clippers pick is going to OKC and OKC will be strongly interested in screwing Spurs' plan.
