I think this move is Austin Spurs related. They have already lost Jamaree Bouyea who got called up by Phoenix. There might have been some rumblings that Mangas might be called up by another team and they didn't want to lose another PG. It's noteworthy that there are usually little connections...

An intriguing player to keep an eye on is German forward Isaac Bonga. Fit wise, he would be just perfect for Spurs as a defensive role player. He was great at that task with Germany NT last summer winning the best defender award at the Eurobasket. Offensively, he has a good enough outside shoot...

^ nice post. For Chamagnie, declining the 26-27 $3M team option to sign him to a longer contract is the best way for Spurs to keep him while managing their future luxury tax issues. It can be done this season or during next summer. Giving him a declining deal starting at $10M...

To me, there are two main questions regarding the third string center situation: First, French Vanilla: Will pairing Wembanyama and Kornet be something Mitch will do on a regular basis? In that case, it increases the quality required for the third string center because that player will play...

A great news after 21 games played is that a lot of players have stepped up and Spurs don't really need to fix their roster. Spurs have a nice 9 players rotation (Fox,Castle, Vassell, Barnes, Wembanyama, Harper, Johnson, Champagnie and Kornet). Spurs don't have anymore in their rotation that 1...

Before thinking at a trade, Spurs should just waive Biyombo and sign Bassey.

I didn't mean more ambitious than Vassell but more ambitious than who they can target with a Sochan/Barnes/Olynyk/Keldon package. For example, going after a player like Keegan Murray seems only possible if you trade Vassell. I agree with you: Spurs have their Batman and their Robins but they...

I don't think Spurs will be looking to take a step back by trading Fox mainly for picks. If they get picks, I would expect them to flip them for a player in another trade.

Right now, I see three possible trades scenarios for Spurs this season: - A trade involving Sochan/Barnes/Olynyk/Keldon for a low usage player: If Spurs keep Wemby, Fox, Castle, Harper and Vassell, they won't have a lot of future money and offensive touches available for another high...

A couple of nice very early mock drafts/rankings: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6730186/2025/11/04/nba-mock-draft-darryn-peterson-aj-dybantsa-cameron-boozer/ https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/46886245/2026-nba-draft-big-board-rankings-top-100-prospects-players This draft class is looking...

The main takeaway of these first 10 games is that Spurs are finally looking like a good team. Even when they are facing some difficulties, like injuries, Wemby struggling or poor shooting, Spurs are still able to beat decent teams. It's the first time in the Wemby's era that it's happening...

I agree with you and I don't like Spurs way of using their early second round picks. As for why they are doing that, I think they have come to the conclusion that it's too much of a long shot to develop players that are marginal talents and that won't have consistent quality playing time at...

^ Aside of Carter Bryant, Spurs third unit is currently Waters (28 years old), McLaughlin (29), Olynyk (34) and Biyombo (33). Spurs just aren't interested in having young players to develop at their end of their bench.

With the NIL money, a lot of foreigners are now playing in NCAA. Among players that are staying overseas, the most likely candidate for Spurs/Hawks first round pick seems to be Karim Lopez. He is a Mexican player currently playing in New Zealand/Australia who fits well Spurs' needs. It's still...
