PJ Washington can't be traded before the end of the season because of the extension he signed. Before thinking at what Spurs should do, we must first know what they have and how players are fitting together. Right now, with Fox out, we still don't know.

That's why I'm talking about trade value. Spurs trading the pick is a strong possibility. It is just that it will have quite more trade value if it's #31 instead of #32 or #33. Using Vegas lines, Spurs are projected to have in addition of Hawks/Spurs first round pick, picks #31, #39 and #41...

3 first names are likely coming from the local tryout..

A team can have some non shooter on their roster but Spurs already have them with Fox and Castle. If Spurs had a backcourt that was more perimeter shooting oriented, a non shooter like Sochan would be less of an issue. Playing in transition could work great in regular season but not so much in...

Something else I'm keeping an eye on is Utah's record. Spurs have their second round pick and if they end up with the worst record in the league, it will have some trade value next June by being the first pick of the second day of the draft.

The offensive issue with a non shooting forward isn't only the pairing with Wemby, it's the fit with Spurs' backcourt. Fox, Castle and likely Harper are players who like to drive to the basket. If an opponent forward can sag off his player and clog the paint, it will hurt Spurs' guards. There is...

It would be nice to know whether Spurs made a reasonable offer but he wanted more money or Spurs didn't make a contract offer at all. Right now, with his lack of shooting, I have a really hard time seeing being successful here. It wouldn't surprised me if he ends out of the rotation with...

Sochan is a flawed player but he has some quality. Jovic got $62.4M/4 years this summer. Sochan should be worth that and maybe a little more. However, on this year's Spurs team, he isn't even worth $10M per year just because he can't shoot. It's as simple as that to me.

Austin Spurs getting back Bouyea is a good news. He was with a two way contract with Bucks but they waived him to sign Alex Antetokounmpo... Spurs have put a lot of effort this summer to have a competitive gleague team: - They traded all their 2025 and 2026 draft picks to get players. - They...

I find it interesting what Spurs did with their end of roster this summer: After the Kornet signing, the most logical would have been to sign a 3rd string center like Eubanks or Landale to a vet min contract and go with Wesley, Branham and that center as 12th, 13th and 14th players. Spurs took...

The issue with Sochan isn't his level, it is that he is a really bad fit offensively with this year's team. Giving him an extension given that would be very risky and with the Fox extension, Spurs aren't in a situation where they can give between $15M and $20M per year to a player who might...

^3 weeks ago Austin Spurs traded right of Ibrahima Diallo for the rights of Abdullah Ahmed. However, Ahmed has decided not to go back in gleague and will play this season in NCAA with Lousiville. I don't know if Spurs and/or Knicks knew he wouldn't come back to the gleague while doing that...

I'm not sure what Spurs will do with Carter Bryant, I guess it will depend on what he will do in preseason. Spurs have a lot of depth at SF/PF with Vassell, Barnes, Sochan, Keldon and Champagnie. Most of them aren't great players but they still should be better than a young rookie like Carter...

I've read a little presentations pdfs published this summer and what surprised me is the size of what Spurs are building around the new arena. They called it "mixed-use district" and it's huge: - 1920 residential units - 2 hotels - 220,000 sq ft of offices - 95,000 sq ft of restaurants/shops...
