Yabusele would be a downgrade at this point
There was already enough information for coherent-brained people to understand he isn’t racist. But this is good context, thanks.
Would have been difficult for anyone to mess up picking #1, #2 & #4? I guess they get some credit for drafting Castle.
I agree with that, but my point is that if they had drafted better in '21 and '22, they probably wouldn't have landed picks #1, #4 and #2 in '23, '24 and '25 respectively.
Would have been easy to mess up 2024 but thankfully they were in love with Castle and the teams ahead of them were morons other than Washington.
don't know why you out air quotes on it. it was a bleak time. assuming primo wears pants to therapy, it would've been a low ranking offense, slow play but who knows maybe primo panned out. primo the fake all star isn't much worse than if we kept dejounte murray.

Some were saying north of 100M
It's not about getting a difference maker in a trade, it's about keeping that asset alive through trade to live another day. Losing a top 9 lottery pick 4 years later for no compensation in return is malpractice. With Primo and now Sochan, that would be two years in a row we won't be able to convey a top pick for future assets if we don't make a trade. Even trading Sochan for future seconds is better long term than just letting him walk. I do think his market will establish itself in the offseason via sign and trade as a restricted free agent.Highly doubt we’re able to “net a real difference” maker in exchange for SochanUnless we attach some actually valuable draft capital along with it.
If some team out there wants to bet on him turning things around then I’d jump all over that…just seems unlikely.
People (including podcasters) were talking about extending Sochan for about 20 million AAV in the offseason... most are just spewing nonsense, making their minds on boxscores and trends. Might as well ask ChatGPT, TBH.Some were saying north of 100M
If Sochan was following Reddit or his stans on Twitter he might very well have thought that actually.
You can still find professional podcasters talking about him as one of Spurs's strengths and reasons they can be contenders, lmao
The Rivers kid or some of the best like Zach Lowe still a couple of weeks ago mentioned him as well smh
Not sure how many people actually watch the games, maybe we have a shot at finding a team that thinks he's good...
ha, I had to have someone explain that scene to me because I had no idea germans used a different 'three' with their fingers than humans. Er, I mean, Americanswhen a podcaster that claims to watch spurs basketball lists sochan as part of the rotation:
Haven't followed NY much and no idea why he's been really bad this season.
I’m not saying that I don’t think he should be traded. Just commenting on the wording of the tweet that was posted alluding to the Spurs getting a “difference maker”.
That gif is so HD it's creepy.when a podcaster that claims to watch spurs basketball lists sochan as part of the rotation:
Some people wanted Scoot Henderson
like seriously
We're not getting shit for him.
Someone (I can't remember who) claimed he'd score 50 in Summer League... I'd bet heavily against that Prop
All good points! Jeremy's real problem is mental, I believe. He's lost his confidence and needs to regain it, soon. If the G-League accomplishes that, great. I truly hope he has therapists and life coaches that are helping him. He's got the tools to play in the league at some level. Without confidence, it's not going to happen. Posting mopey, emo, depressed IGs is not going to help his cause.Someone (I can't remember who) claimed he'd score 50 in Summer League... I'd bet heavily against that Prop
I wonder if a G-League stint might be in his best interest not only for getting more into a game rhythm but to also showcase something for other teams. Getting blowout minutes and putting up zeros in the box score certainly won't. He'd be better of not playing at all in that case.
At this point, I've made the conscious decision that there is no longer any need to discuss Sochan's talents and his role with the Spurs. It seems like that is pretty much settled.
With that said, the Spurs like to do right by their guys when they trade them away. With that in mind, it is probably in Jeremy's best interest to get traded ASAP where he has a chance to show something by the end of the year for a team who will have his Bird Rights and at the very least earn a QO. I don't think the Spurs would use a QO on him if off-season started today, and I think the worst case scenario for Jeremy will be to hit UFA as a guy who got sent to the end of the bench and didn't earn a QO from the Spurs. Even Lonnie Walker was getting regular minutes for us in his last year and (temporarily) earned a QO... and all that got him was a 1-year Tax Player MLE deal.
Any team who believes in Sochan's talents enough to give him more than a 1-year deal, should also believe in them enough to want to secure his Bird Rights.
