Making win-now moves in a rebuild is exactly how you end up like the Atlanta Hawks. OKC was terrible for 3 years and now look at them after they reaped the benefits of the draft. Give the Spurs one more year to be terrible and have them get all their top 10 draft picks in 2024 and 2025 and their set for a dynasty. Mfs so impatient. Whats Wemby gonna do? Ask out in his 2nd year? I aint never seen that happen in NBA history.

[@WembysCastle]

​@@ringbellz1062mediocrity is different than rebuilding. We went through the Aldridge and DeRozan and Murray and White age after the Big 3 retired. It wasn't until last year when we traded white and Murray when we went into full rebuild mode. Technically Year 1 of full rebuild started when we got #1 pick in lottery.

[@char6364]

Wembanyama as a competitor won't accept the Spurs running it back with another 15-win roster next year. Nor should he. He'll be pushing the front office to at least make the roster respectable enough to aid with his own personal development if nothing else. All rebuilds are different and assuming a draft-only approach would ever be as successful as OKC's seems unwise given that was very much the best-case scenario. Sam Presti is far more experienced than Brian Wright who doesn't exactly have the best talent acquisition record so far. He passed on Tyrese Haliburton for Devin Vassell in 2020, reached for Josh Primo in 2021 and passed on Jalen Williams for Jeremy Sochan in 2022. That the Spurs' supporting cast is so awful is largely of his own doing which potentially makes a draft-only approach an incredibly risky proposition. The Atlanta comparison's unfair too since hastily building around a 6'1" point guard is a lot harder and more inadvisable than with a 7'5" basketball demi-god. Personally I think an approach that blends draft picks with trades for known quantities is better than simply one or the other.

We also got the Hawks pick for the next 3 years for Murray and Hawks are going to be a very bad lottery team starting next year when they decide to hit the rebuild button. We also got a first rounder in 2028 from Boston for White which could be higher than we think depending on how Boston is in 4 years from now. DeRozan left but it's not like we needed him.

@@nevermind342 name a 7’5 guy that has been doing stretches & activities to take care of his body since he was a kid along with being drafted by a team that has one of the best medical teams in the league in the spurs ???? Regardless if you make a move, the spurs still won’t be a contender next season, plus the 2026 season isn’t far away lol

[@rabeechowdhury]

​@@nevermind342 he literally has injury training for these kind of situations. I know one of the 7ft+ greats was doing yoga or something like that too. Most 7ft3 guys aren't taking care of their body the way wemby has been cultured to do.

[@mdaddy9474]

Move quickly? There's no rush. He needs to put on weight anyway. Need to tank for at least the next couple of years

[@KGNero0716]

You have a loser mentality nobody wants to tank

[@cedricpena2915]

ESPN and this whole panel are clowns for this segment. Making up this fake hype that wemby wants to leave because they are losing. What lazy idiotic trashy content they are settling for now. Like everyone else in this comment section is saying, HES A ROOKIE! YOU DONT RUSH THIS! Thank you as always espn, for being garbage

[@pauljoseph3081]

I disagree, give him another year and build younger assets as much as possible before you go full force. You can't rush your way to a championship unless it's already a veteran superstars teaming up.

[@Hackaveli]

Perk gettin better on TV

[@epitome1986]

they should probably focus on adding a quality point guard. doesn't have to be a star but someone good. trying to build a contender in the offseason is not going to happen. they can add the best free agent in siakam but since their timelines are so different it would help now and become a problem in 3 years. they should draft best available player and continue to develop wemby and sochan. once they are in play in level go for the big name free agents or trade future draft capital.

[@scappybee6454]

He's next up 💯

[@Chiell21]

that 2 1/2 months playing without starting pointguard really hurt spurs season...and when Pop back then start Trey and let sochan play he's legit role which is pf the spurs play way different

[@johnmitchell7654]

He's must-see for me. Already. Just 19 and this good.

[@flynnmartschinke5189]

Wemby should leave that failing organization ASAP.

[@DetroitTyler]

Nobody has had shot blocking at this level since the early 90's. Wemby is the real deal and a matchup number. I think many guys will want to play with Wemby in free agency.

[@angelatanurdzic7508]

Nice show.

[@benana87]

That cold pizza reference and lowe bursting out louddd❤

[@Marx1684]

Clearly all of the potential to be the franchise. The Sprurs have a responsibility to the sport & the fans to make all of the best moves.

[@slamdunk2270]

It's Brian Windy who's in the right here: Spurs need to go slow at least until the 2025 Draft. 2024 Draft is too uncertain at the top, and the NBA is too good in its better half to allow this Spurs team to make a strong run for the next years to come. Instead of trading or signing free-agents for a late playoffs spot, the Spurs should suck next year too and try to get a potential superstar in Cooper Flagg or Ace Bailey. If they draft their other starters in this year's Draft, they'll be set for the next decade. Imagine, they get Sarr and Dillingham this year, then Flagg the next one, that would give them the following starting lineup in 2025-26: Dillingham-Vassell-Flagg-Sarr-Wembanyama. Much like the Thunder, you could reach the top of your conference from day 1 with such talents.

[@IGotTheNewness]

That 2025 draft class is special man!! Whoever ends up with Cooper Flagg, sheesh!! Now if the Spurs end up with Flagg AND Wemby, that would be CRAZY!!!!

[@jesusabueno1701]

I would bet that the Spurs and Pops have told the players, "Just go out and play, get your legs. We will lose, but, we'll get used to playing with another." I believe that is why they show up for big games and kind of coast for others.

[@SoCalBIGmike]

Why does Woj always look like he's reading off of a TelePromptr & murmuring his lines? Every time.

[@Artbyartcreates]

Oooh, that was some serious trash talk 😒

[@garygallant5390]

He’s ready to win now. He has enough basketball experience to lead the Spurs to go deep in the playoffs.

[@milesjfunk]

I hope Oceangate builds a new Titan and this panel goes deep underwater and tests it.

[@Convisis]

I’m sure the Spurs front office fully understands where they stand with Vic and the team. They are historically a risk-averse franchise, they won’t go all-in on a big move that could go either way. They will look to make solid incremental improvements through the offseason within their ability to do so. They may make a bigger free-agency move when they believe they have the team foundations to support it and it translates into winning and contention. This offseason is probably not the time though. Vic has probably been better than they expected in season one, but he’s still very unpolished and green in a many areas of the game and is in his early stages of development. It makes sense to continue to focus on his individual growth and define what his game will ultimately ideally look like, because that will help determine who best to place around him. They have a young core of high character players, there’s a lot to be said for culture and camaraderie. Vic may get sick of losing, but he may also value his teammates as friends. The Spurs know all of this and more. Trust they will play this the best they know how.

[@JamesMolina-f3w]

WOJ deserves his flowers for his call from the beginning

[@Adrian-xu3xi]

I’m a pelicans fan but just being a basketball you gotta respect this kids talent I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up being one of the top 5 greatest players of all time by the time his career ends

[@michaeleubanks9020]

I think the Spurs will move some players this summer and possibly some picks. It won't be crazy like trying to mortgage all their assets for a win it all next year situation but I could see a couple new starters. An all-star level point guard by themselves paired with Wemby probably takes the team to .500 ... after that a small forward with good conditioning who is a 3 and D player would really help.

[@AlexRodriguez-tv3et]

The media is setting the table already to push Wemby outta SA. So sad. But I have full faith my Spurs will make this right and have him play his entire career here!

[@jeffreyaquino4146]

We might have a season where the DPOY will be on a 2nd-team ALL defense like what happened with Roberson, Mutombo, Gasol, and Chandler.

[@topedaman]

stop selling this guy, they are last year. cant be good when your team is last in the entire league.

[@reynalyndapat6284]

Once the spurs stopped tanking, dumb statements like this will stop. Haters got nothing to say other than the losing record its irritating. They are tanking!! What can't you understand about that? Use your brain.

[@Cjherand]

A very competitive mindset. I wonder who had that mentality…. Ohh wait… MAMBA! Wemby has kobes mamba mentality, is gifted yet works hard. ROTY is already over.

[@SaSpursFan]

Only reason I would build slightly faster than usual is you never know how long Wemby will be healthy

[@jvgametoowild9223]

Next year will be nice we are learning each game and confidence is increasing each night and players are connecting. It takes time nothing happens over night and once we add 20/30 lbs of muscle on Wemby and a key point guard like Trey young or a DFOX it’s over

[@B3GINNER]

ESPN..... he doesnt get talked about enough? A 7'4 blocking shots is "incredible" ? No! Its what he's supposed to be able to do. Him averaging 20 ppg is cool, but he's not the best scoring rookie of all time. Yes, he has handles for his size but thats the new trend for all new players. It's not hate! ESPN sets these players up to be let down. The Joker is putting up amazing numbers constantly. Luka drops 45 like its nothing. Neither player is as talked about. Im beginning to think them being white is the problem. Like Stephen A said about Mccaffrey, " if he were black, we'd be talking about him more often"
