Right now the only center I would take over Wemby is Joker, but Joker gives me early retirement vibes. If he wins another championship or 2 I could see him riding off into the sunset on his horse. I'd definitely think hard on Sabonis cause he is an amazing general in Sacramento but Wemby is just too much to pass on. So good at 20 years old already. So much upside.

[@maniravsadhur8409]

I could be wrong, but I think you managed to do a whole video about Victor Wembanyama and which player to surround him with in order to start a Spurs dynasty as soon as next year without saying once the words "defense" or "defender", which is quite a feat. It's also why your proposals don't make a lot of sense in my eyes. When you have a player like Wembanyama, who's already among the three best defenders in the league (with Anthony Davis and Gobert), the first thing to do is to make sure the team is loaded with great perimeter defenders who can shoot. Then you look for the right point guard. Great defense + great use of the incredible spacing Wembanyama offers will bring the Spurs in the playoffs at the very least (see what the Timberwolves and OKC are doing this year). Then you have to find another very good big so that the team doesn't disappear as soon as Wembanyama takes a breather - and it might be interesting to draft said big, rather than a point guard (Alexandre Sarr would fit the bill). The point guard is the piece that will really bring them to the next level, which is why Topic might not be the best possible choice, since there's a big unknown regarding his shooting ability. A young but confirmed point guard who can score AND pass the ball would be better, and the Spurs would have to trade for that - which is precisely why they accumulated so many draft picks over the last few years. Trae Young would be excellent (despite his poor defensive skills, which can be overlooked if you already have great defenders all around), although there are of course other options around.

[@only1adonis]

WembanYAWNma (boring tiptoe dunks and rim grazers indicate low strength & poor body mechanics)… is one of the best SHOT BLOCKERS… NOT top 3 overall DEFENDERS. CASUALS don’t know the difference. Russell, Hakeem, Duncan, Robinson, Rodman, Robertson, Howard, Wallace, Pressey, Moncrief…. And many more…ALL WERE GREAT AT DEFENSE AND/OR SHOT BLOCKING. Some were mostly good shot blockers with solid but not DPOY defense- which many admit. Like Gobert, Manute Bol etc. NUANCED DIFFERENCES. You either know or you don’t.

[@RaandomLeftist]

Hey said keep Sochan for the sake of defense. 7:14 I do agree perimeter defense could have been brought up more though. Just saying, defense was brought up at least one time

[@maniravsadhur8409]

​@only1adonis The thing is, only CASUALS fail to see that Wembanyama is far from being only a shot blocker (or a "tiptoe dunker" for that matter). But your CASUAL comment makes it extremely obvious that you never actually watched Wembanyama play, not even highlight reels, and yet you pretend to know better than everyone else. I'll be stating the extremely obvious, but since you don't know better, I guess there's no choice. Not only is Wembanyama excellent at blocks and steals, he's also way more mobile than any big you've ever seen, which lets him influence the game way more. How many times have you seen the bigs you listed influence shots on the 3pt line? He also commits few fouls, and he does all that without good perimeter defenders AND while being extremely active on the offensive end. On a more personal note: when you use the word CASUAL and follow it with stupid comments, it makes you sound... well... stupid.

[@vc7658]

No. Because that will cost us many or most of our picks which is the most important way to become the top team for the spurs in the future. Having those players u mentioned do make spurs a lot better. But the spurs will be maxed out and have no extra room to grow. As a result, with your move here, indeed a very good team is built, but never a championship team. And after say 3-4 years, the spurs office will need to break everything down, trade and rebuild once again. The difference here is: THE FUTURE TEAM ASSETS. Remember, trading in nba would mean equivalent value trades. And what makes THE DIFFERENCE ALWAYS is the team own DRAFT PICKS, or another case: specific player in the team gets significantly improved, such as SGA, Brunson. It’s like earning money. It’s not that easy to earn THAT MONEY to set a competitive team for CHAMPION LEVEL

[@Thorcat001]

I just laughed when you said top 45 player in the league. No no. A top 5 player on the league! And the numbers he’s been putting up he could be MVP if the Spurs were better

[@sportsandstuff99]

Above everything else, the Spurs need better shooting at every position around Wemby. Teams double and triple team him cause they can leave nonshooters. Spread the floor, give Wemby more space and the offense becomes elite.

[@jameskou4034]

Markkanen is elite, but the issue in this image trade would be Ainge. He ALWAYS wants more. And OKC also targeted him for a long time, we haven't enough assets to battle with them. Maybe we should target other elite guys. like Magic's Isaac & Wizard's Avdija. If Isaac joins us, we can play swishing defense on front court sooooo well. Plus, we can avoid Wemby losing stamina quickly. In my imagination, if we get Raptor's pick this year, Isaac's trade will be like this: Spur gets: Issac + 2024 Magic's 1st round pick Magic gets: Raptor's pick + Malaki + maybe two 2st round picks. If it's a done deal, then image we put Avdija along with Wemby & Isaac. Solid defense + iso + a little bit playmaking. Sounds like Ben Simmons with shoot + good attitude and only 4yrs/5500M. But it would costs more assets to make it come true. That'd in my mind like this: Spur gets: Avdija Wizard gets: magic's pick+ bull's pick + Keldon + Graham( to help with salary match) If we go lucky, we may have the starters line like this: Wemby Isaac Avdija Vassell Plus our own 2024 1st pick to backup. We all know pop's great at developing offense in DEFENSIVE TALENTS. Even if we finally go for Trae with Hawk's picks, this kind of defensive starters line will make it more acceptable.

[@finkelmana]

I havent watch much of the NBA in a while (Sadly, I am a Wizards fan...), so I am unfamiliar with the current NBA. However, Wemby is absolutely phenomenal. If I could pick a power forward to pair him with from the past, I would choose Dennis Rodman or Ben Wallace. Obviously, they are tremendous defenders, that can guard multiple positions. They arent offensive focused, so they would allow Wemby the inside scoring. Of course, they can score off him dumping the ball or put backs. Im not sure who would be the closest match today the NBA to them would be, but that would be a nightmare of a front court to try to score in.

[@arcadegangster9518]

I wouldn't trade this kid for anyone in the league...i don't care what you say...and thats a fact jack...this kid changes the game defensively like we haven't seen since the days of the great center's of the 80s and early 90s...player's don't even want to go into the paint and throws opposing teams offense into disarray lots of times...id have to get multiple Allstars and draft picks and still i would be hesitant to do it...

OKC is just as young as the spurs, but have a top offense and defense, and are at the top of the west...their coaching is top notch like I said, I can get more specific with bad coaching decisions, but those are some basic facts that point to there being a coaching issue....I know Tim Duncan made everyone around him better to the point where ppl who don't really pay attention buy into Pop being this coaching savant, but he has had some MAJOR flaws even in the Duncan era....TD was just so great he covered it up...@@NewMojo71

They should go after Grayson Allen in free agency, he's exactly what they need right now. I think Vassell is the only other player on the roster not named Wemby who is relatively safe from getting cut or being given a reduced role. They could also go after Mikal Bridges as they have plenty of trade assets to make the deal with Brooklyn.

[@johndilig6719]

I had a thought of the Spurs getting Gobert, so Wemby don't have to worry much about defense (or at least, one of the more elite defenders in the league guarding him). Also, capitalizing on that French connection, and having an older vet that's a similar stature might be a good mentor for him, since Wemby's still not even old enough to buy alcohol in the state of Texas...

[@DexterJackson-ud5hb]

I am an excessive nostalgic die-hard born in San Antonio and loved the Spurs since birth person and would love to see a "Twin Towers" type situation again, but my personal thought is that their most pressing need is a true PG/facilitator that can run the offense in such a way as to avoid so many damned turnovers. Their defense is often leaky, but all the turnovers are like holding calls in the NFL: Momentum crushing. Again, going back into history, while I hope they can get a new Tony Parker, an Avery Johnson type would do the team well as they continue to develop how to best utilize their core, which in my personal opinion is Wemby, Devin Vassell, and Sochan.

[@andrewthomson870]

Wembanyama at centre and Tre Jones at point guard has only been the line up for three quarters of a season and they're both putting up more than their fair share of assists in a team that makes a lot of them so I don't think prioritizing another point guard just yet would be as beneficial as getting an experienced forward who can play at 3 or 4, defends well and can give you at least 18 points a night. That's not to say they shouldn't take Nikola Topic if they get the chance. i think Siakam or Markinnen would be my top choices but they would cost a lot of draft picks. Giving up a lot of future first round picks isn't so much of a problem if you already have a lot of good young players and most of the team are still too young to be really judged as to how successful they could be in the NBA but they've shown enough potential to be kept around. Like he said, the Spurs franchise has been here before so they can probably spot that they're only one or two players away from from being real contenders in 2-3 years. Edit: Also Pop's already 75 so they need to make a push now if their next championship team is going to be coached by him.

[@vicedm1145]

Maybe Pop purposely tried the Sochan PG experiment not carrying if they lost games to get a better draft pick. Think about it now they have 2 top 10 first round draft picks on top of getting Wemby 🤷‍♂️😂 They’re either really dumb and keep getting lucky or extremely strategic and brilliant at this.

Build for the draft. A talented super star, with a fair price, will come to San Antonio at some point, for the mere reason, to play with Wemby. It's not something they have to put as a priority to really seek out. Building through the draft, and trading up for higher draft picks is probably the better long term strategy, but I'm sure everyone wants to see Wemby in a championship game already. He's incredible, but it kind of feels like that's a lot to ask, so quickly, kind of like how the Cavaliers were hoping LeBron would win a championship for them before he was 20 years old... I suppose it can happen, but it strikes as a high expectation. How about the Spurs get back to the playoffs next year? Seems a reasonable goal...

Nice vid. You mention a lot of possible acquisitions for next season and my head is spinning with all these possibilities. Bottom line is, I agree that the Spurs should be planning to be great next year and to put great players around Wemby next season. He is ripe for such a move. Pop has this "not taking any shortcuts" mentality, but I think that is more geared toward developing young players. It would be tragic to waste Wemby's sophomore season on just developing the current roster plus a few draft picks. It will be fascinating to see how GM Wright plays his cards!

I think Wemby a lot better and has already shown he can dominate when playing against Anthony Davis, Domantis Sambonis, Rudy Gobert, Bam Adebayo, Kristaps Porzingis, And Alperen Sengun. Especially on defensive blocks.

[@cyrilleribeiro5030]

Victor is a rookie! He can't be traded with anyone today, not even Micheal Jordan! Remember what all the other rookies like Giannis and many others looked like in their first years. Victor has his child's body today compared to what he will be in the future.

[@user-oi6fq6er2o]

The winningest trio in history 😊😮😊!

[@bookaufman9643]

The Spurs had been a pretty good team with David Robinson and the only reason they got Tim Duncan was because Robinson was hurt for an entire season. It's nothing like the current situation in San Antonio. Even if they pick up another star to work with Victor they will still be far too young and years away from any kind of real competition for the championship.

[@abelnavarro4324]

If wemby was 3 years younger maybe giddy would’ve approved

[@kineahora8736]

Sheesh-no mention that “fate” with spurs = David Robinson breaking his leg-that’s why they got the pick they used in Duncan…

[@sparenone]

Topic or the other guard rob Dillingham will help wemby out a lot!

[@richatlarge462]

Victor is not really a center at all. He's tall and long, but not a center. We've seen that his strength on defense is not guarding the strong centers, but guarding the 4 position, then dropping off and helping on D to get blocks. And on offense he plays like a '3' not a '5'. That being said, if they can pick up a true center to play the '5' in place of the inadequate Zach Collins, plus a reliable three-point shooter to kick out to, they'll be in much better shape than they are now.

[@jaimereygadas2875]

Awesome

[@bookaufman9643]

Donovan Mitchell does not want to go to San Antonio. He wants to play in one of the major markets. I think that the Spurs are going to be on a three or four year plan but maybe they'll be aggressive and be on a 2-year plan. Either way I think they're not going to be looking at Superstars and will probably be trying to get high-quality role players. I do think that Lauri would work with San Antonio but I'm not sure if Danny Ainge is going to let him go.😊

[@QuaiChandler-nn5du]

The spurs, outside of Wmby, really suck defensively. They don't need Giddy, or Topic, or Trey young. They need 3 + D on ball guards.

[@ryu-ken]

There was a chance okc could've had the 1st pick. Imagine if that happened 😳

[@troychriscarretas2657]

Lauri could be expensive get Kai Sotto

[@nbapbaupdate8338]

San Antonio Spurs need PURE PG like Trae Young or LaMelo Ball & if Spurs pursue Lauri Markannen SPURS legit playoffs contender immediately

[@bdanka50]

Nice video, but you immediately lost all credibility by naming anyone but maybe Joker at the beginning. Porzingis? Gobert? Sengun? Nice players, but nobody is taking them over Wemby 🤣

[@biggdoggc2490]

The Spurs could get that 7.4 300lbs center from Perdue to pair with Wemby and get a legitimate point guard in trades.

[@richatlarge462]

If they have the chance to pick the Purdue guy, they should. Because Victor isn't really a center, he's just tall and long. He's a '3' on offense, and a '4' on defense whose main strength, is sagging off his assigned man (not the center typically) to come over and get his blocks against players who have beaten their own defender. So yeah, with a tall strong center plus Victor, then all they need are some three-point shooters, and they can work the inside-outside game (NOT with Vic shooting threes).

[@FavreianVengeance]

If I'm the GM of any team, not just the Spurs, I pass on Donovan Mitchell.

[@cyrilleribeiro5030]

Everyone thinks that you need a real playmaker to improve the spurs, why not. But for me if they can choose Alexandre Sarr, they have to go for it. We see it when Victor is replaced, the spurs become a Gleague team. Collins puts up points but does not exist defensively. As soon as Victor comes out, the painting is free and the game is already over. Sochan in 4 is a good defender on the man but catastrophic with his small size, his poor shooting and his very average IQ. Sochan must become a winger, and work on his shooting otherwise head to the bench. Just Vassel can have a role in a successful Spurs team. Trey Jones is decent enough to be on the team without being a big nuisance. in the future he could be a good back up.

[@Ebriel0000000]

Collins exists defensively : he takes 6 fouls in 10 minutes :-)

[@richatlarge462]

"We see it when Victor is replaced, the spurs become a Gleague team." They won more games without him last year. I think it's a chemistry issue this year with him. They need to fix something for next season, no matter who else they get on the roster.

[@cyrilleribeiro5030]

@@richatlarge462 If this is real then we need to fire all the coaching staff! It's just impossible for a team to be any worse playing with a guy like Victor on their team. But otherwise we have known from the start that they are tanking and are being so bad on purpose. Their goal is to have as many assets as possible. They have 6 top draft picks over the next 2 drafts so they want to be in the best position possible to take the most talent.

[@richatlarge462]

@@cyrilleribeiro5030 So far tonight they're playing pretty well against the Suns without him, versus being destroyed by the Suns a couple of days ago with him. That doesn't make them a better team without him, but it means they move the ball better without him, instead of wondering what to do with him every possession. They have not figured out how to use him properly yet on offense.

[@cyrilleribeiro5030]

@@richatlarge462 Yes, we know that these are players with a very low basketball IQ, except for Victor who has to discover everything about NBA basketball.

[@JacobGov]

I'm taking him over Gobert and Sengun right now too. Way better offensively than Gobert but still great defense. Way better defense than Sengun but still very good offensively.

Sengun…. Over Wemby? You should watch the first game these two played. Sengun had one good game over Wemby (recently)but that does not put him over the top. Sengun is built like a Pixar character, there is no comparison.
