The San Antonio Spurs Will SHOCK the NBA In 2025! (NBA Deep Dive)

[@DeHave]

Are the Spurs a Playoff Team in 2025? Or are they going to tank again? 🤷🏻‍♂️🙏🏻💛

[@tp76ben5]

At best play-in

[@DeHave]

I think so too but they be the most fun play-in team in the league most likely 😂

[@TheMilitiaGuy]

I believe they will be a play-in team...ceiling is a 6th seed. They are built to compete vs. Mavs. The starting 5: VW, Sochan, Barnes, Vassell and CP3 (who with VW will avg a dbl-dbl playing 30mpg). And with a bench like Castle, Johnson, Champagnie, Mamu, Cissoko, they are going to surprise.

[@nonrepublicrat]

They are going to suck AGAIN.

[@sweettony1697]

Definetly the spurs are gonna be a winning team, in my opinion as a spurs fan, we got wemby, castle looks promising, vassel and keldon proved themselves in the nba that they can stay in this leauge for a long time, cp3 coming in he doesn’t want to lose and he’s great and cheaper to give some wisdom hopefully to the guys. I think we’re gonna see a team wanting to win and maybe not this year but these next couple years your gonna see a contending team year in year out. I’m so excited for this upcoming season, loved the video

[@robertball147]

Nice content. 1 correction. The Spurs did not give a pick swap for Harrison Barnes, the received it.

@@mathieumalecki6332nope the spurs just inserted themselves to just take Barnes contract so SAC could get Demar. Spurs basically just wanted to help demar get to where he wanted because they still have tons of respect for him. But they just got barnes for free.

[@kelleyeidem667]

Based on how much Wemby improved over the course of last season, there is a decent chance that he and CP3 will give fits to a lot of teams. CP3 might feel like playing with Wemby would be a great reason to show up in great shape and ready to play really well. If Castle can play NBA level defense hs first year combined with Barnes the Spurs could be playing a lot of transition offense as well. As young players learning the ropes, both Vassell and Sochan have the potential to do much better this year as well. A winning season would not surprise me so long as Wemby and CP2 stay healthy.

[@DeHave]

Totally agree with absolutely all of that! Great feedback and insight, thank you 🙏🏻

[@HoopsRaccoon]

I watched quite a few spurs games last year. I don’t really like sochans game. He’s not very high IQ, and can miss rotations sometimes. I think they will definitely trade him before the season is over. He also can’t go get a bucket at the end of a game, and they need someone to guard centers so wemby doesn’t have to.

[@kelleyeidem667]

@@HoopsRaccoon He's not a good shooter for sure. His IQ might have been impaired by his being placed out of position which could have carried over a bit when that failed experiment was ended. As for covering opposing centers, I'd experiment with him and Wemby alternating who they cover each time the Spurs make a basket to see if that doesn't throw the other team out of their rhythm. Both are excellent defenders, so even with a height mismatch for Sochan, Wemby could provide back up if needed.

[@byzantinee7958]

Seeing the spurs pick up cp3 and barnes shows that they’re entering a win now mode. Play-in is where I think they land this coming season. Spurs haven’t skipped steps, but this off season showed they’re skipping a step or two, but it was calculated and quality moves. Now it’s just a matter of teaching the young guys what it takes to play 82 games and fight for a chip. The rest will fall into place over time, spurs have a ton of draft assets for flexibility.

[@jake9750]

you should colab with @clanthespursfan in the future. He’s a spurs super fan

[@DeHave]

If he’s interested I’m always looking for fellow creators to talk with/collab! I’ll look into the channel, thanks for the suggestion! 🙏🏻

[@TheMilitiaGuy]

People are underestimating VW's Year 2 and the CP3-Barnes additions. Spurs will still be in the Cooper Flagg lottery b/c they own the Hawks #1 pick and the Hawks will be in the lottery.

[@Justfrank_0]

True bro, hawks won’t be all that

[@TheMilitiaGuy]

Indeed,@@Justfrank_0. Hawks were lottery with Murray. Replacing Murray with Risacher makes them worse AND no guarantee Young plays 70 games this year.

[@ejrodriguez584]

As a spurs fan, Zach Collins is horrible. It was a huge loss when Bassey got injured. The only bright spot for Zach is his passing. He was a cone on defense, his shooting was way too streaky to be dependent on, fixing his hair instead of focusing on the game

[@floressergio9607]

Not the hair 🥲 gotta get that Edgar cut

[@dontbotherant]

I remember someone made a compilation of him fixing his hair then immediately getting scored on 🤣

[@deathstarstallion]

He wasn’t that bad. There was just zero defense and passing off the bench and for whatever reason, Collins is the guy that takes all the heat for bench being trash

[@ChrisDeHoyos124]

He had Keldon, Malaki, Doug as his perimeter defenders next to him off the bench lol they made him look bad at the rim cause they couldn’t stay in front of anyone which forced him out of position near the rim or in general

[@deathstarstallion]

@@ChrisDeHoyos124 I always try to say that. People don’t listen, just hive mind blaming everything on Collins

[@edduclervil]

As spurs fans, it’s split. Some people want us to tank, others are ready to compete. Personally, I think the spurs will run rotations similar to last year with a few more minutes for Wemby, and let the chips fall where they are. People get so caught up in the Wemby hype that they forget that the Spurs are trying to develop their other guys as well. Duncan didn’t win all those chips alone. He needed other stars like Robinson, Parker, Ginobili and Leonard and he also needed solid role players like Bowen, Johnson, Diaw, and Green. We need to run these other guys to see what they can become as well.

[@RebeL_Video]

Very excited for this season! I think it's a real possibility that CP3 gets traded to a contender right before the deadline for another pick, and the Spurs come out on top again. GO SPURS GO!

[@DeHave]

Good luck next season! Hadn’t considered that about CP3 but totally makes sense 🙏🏻

[@kirkgholson5545]

From a life long Spurs fan great job. I've listened to Rights to Ricky Sanchez to study The Process for about the last year or so to learn what to do/not to do in rebuilding + have listened to Bulls, Hawks, Hornets pods since we have their picks. A nit pick would've liked to hear more about those picks & how we're setup to buy vets or young high potential players whenever we want more than anyone but the Thunder in this rebuild & how we could use those this year/in the next 2-3 years to jumpstart a contender. But anyway great video & go 76ers this is the year you know lick face.

[@DeHave]

Let’s go!! Thanks for the feedback and support. That’s also great insight on how I could’ve done better! And oh yeah, we love the Ricky on this channel. Love those guys, really cool that you listen to them as a non sixers fan! One of my pipe dreams is to work with them someday! Appreciate you a ton and I’m rooting for your team as well!

I predict the Hawks being the worse team in the league. If the Spurs luck out with #1 with Hawks or their own pick, it’s all over with Flagg! 🤣😂🤣😂

[@DeHave]

You think the hawks will be worse that the Wizards? Could be, but i think they’ll be better! Flagg on the Spurs would be OP!! If they stole that pick it would be wild 😂😂

[@Fchwpo_7]

[@DeHave]

Absolutely crazy!! Hopefully they can get a good lottery pick outta the hawks 🙏🏻

[@mythictyrant3]

I am banking on Trey Young going down! 🤣😂🤣😂

[@Kaidude1212]

Extremely excited for this upcoming season as a spurs fan, and enjoyed the video. A few notes: We gained a first round pick swap from the Barnes trade rather than gave away. Spurs still have a few more young pieces who have some potential upside in Blake Wesley (entering 3rd year) and Sidy Cissoko (entering 2nd). Also Wemby started centre for the last 50 games or so of the season and was much better there. He will likely stay there to start the season. And last note, watching Zach Collins all year wasn’t enjoyable at all, he had 1 or 2 games which his shot was falling and he scored 25+ points but aside from those few games he doesn’t bring much to the offence. He isn’t great on defence either. He doesn’t have a good shot selection, when he looks to post up he is a solid player but shot hasn’t looked good. He is however an elite passer for his size which is the only thing that is appealing about him from this past season.

[@JF-ec5fi]

I say 35-40 win% would be great. Great vid and new sub

[@ARC-dl2bj]

Excellent job I expect the spurs to go “all in” on winning with what we have now, but not “all in” in terms of aggressively chasing a big free agent

[@DeHave]

Thank you, I think next season in free agency it could be the year 🙏🏻

[@Demckeaks]

Victor plays to win. I don't think he would let the spurs tank. That being said I would honestly be happy with 30-35 wins. With the Western conference being so loaded we don't have much of a chance at a real playoff spot.

[@charleseddleman]

I think they will hit at least 40. Between the sochan experiment, the addition of vet players, the bench improvent because of the vet starters, the probable improvement of the young guys and the improvement of the team play in the last 10 games or so.

[@TheMilitiaGuy]

Nice video. In three years Castle will be the #1 pick in a 2024 redo draft. Nunez will come over next year.

[@kostastube2010]

Healthy Wemby will easily end up as top-5 All Time and even have a chance for GOAT case.

CP3 has never gone to a new team and had the wins go down. Wemby is no longer on a minutes restriction and will have a proper PG. We can get a top pick by showing the Hawks that even though we are only in year two of building around Wemby, we are further than they are building around Trae Young. I'd even go and say that when we match up against the Hawks, we are going to treat it like a finals game. We will try to demoralize them imo. If they end up in the lottery we can trade the Charlotte pick and the other to move even further up
