NBA commissioner Adam Silver on load management: “There’s nothing more frustrating also for our fans than having players, frankly, who aren’t injured following some program schedule for rest. I’m looking at [Spurs executive] R.C. [Buford], you started this all.” pic.twitter.com/AJTyHs4PX4

Yeah load management so much worst than nephew and uncle refusing to play ball until they can get traded to a better media market.
What a tool.
What a tool.
Yeah thats the problem with basketball
Especially considering the load management that started it all was Duncan when he was in the twilight of his career. Taking off back to backs is reasonable for a 38 year legend. Taking off 1/3 of the season is ridiculous if you're 28 and in the middle of your prime.
I had no idea about Bayne's injury. Somehow I missed it last year. From learning to walk again a year ago to trying to get back in the league this summer. Pretty remarkable.
I believe it happened during the Olympics if I'm not mistaken.aggieactor01 said:

Wonder if this will have us regretting drafting Sochan down the road.
Y'all think Wesley will start in the G league even though he's played well so far in SL? I've accepted Branham will start in G league

I think both will split their time in the Gleague and 1st team. I assume they will start in the Gleague when the two seasons coincide.
Its not like this team is loaded at guard right now. Primo, Vassel, Jones and Richardson. The rookies might get a little time in the GLeague in order to get reps but we'll need them for depth on the main squad. It would also be cool to keep the 3 rookies playing together a lot early to see how that chemistry develops.Enzo The Baker said:SpicyAg said:

Wrong board?
Whoops! wrong Spurs lol. Tough being a fan of both teams amd having multiple tabs open lol.
No problem. I was really confused!
My question is, how long before we see Sochan start? You know he will start at some point during the season but does he start from the get go or does Pop let him come off the bench for a while before he releases him. The latter has been the trend with rookies that start but the Spurs have never been in a complete rebuild like this.LawHall88 said:

Also why I don't think Wesley and Branham will spend much time in Austin. They might early in the season but I think they will get plenty of playing time with the big club.
Keldon extended as I predicted. Good move.
20/yr is about the right value on him too
That Keldon contract is going to be great for us down the road. If we're not competing for a playoff spot in 3 years, he could be very tradeable and net a great return. Obviously would love for him to be a Spur for life, but I understand how league business works.
Keldon's salary is about 14% of the cap.
Last year he was a 17/6 guy on 47/40/76 shooting at just 22yo. That's a pretty great deal.

This sucks! Was hoping we would sign him.
Miami announced this morning it has signed undrafted rookie forward Darius Days to a 2-way contract.

An LSU-ex Days had been a candidate to fill the Spurs' remaining 2-way slot.
Days played well for the Spurs and impressed his coaches & teammates with his upbeat personality.
Spurs win their last summer league game. Malaki Branham went off in the 4th quarter. Hit some big time 3 pointers. finished with 23 I think ,

A fail? That's a bit much. He played well but he's no sure thing.
Branham looked good today. He may be better than Lonnie already. Hes really polished and has a very quick release. Wesley is talented but raw. Super quick and a pretty good shot but hes not as polished. I really wish Sochan could have played summer league. I'm dying to see him.
Agree with your assessment. Looked to me like the youngsters were pressing alot during summer league. I also think Barlow has the potential to be a player. I think Wesley will benefit from time in the G League early in the season for sure.
I will be interested to see who they sign as the second two way player. Carlton, the big man from Houston, had some pretty good moments in summer league and the Spurs could use another young big man.

Spurs rookie Jeremy Sochan said the first thing that came to mind about Russ 😅

He will fit in just fine.
Really think that Sochan is going to make life easier for our young guards since he can distribute well from inside. I hope Pop has him guard opponents' best players from the 3-5. Don't think we should put him on an island with guards yet.
Looks like the Keldon deal is actually 4/74 with incentives to get it to 80, and is front-loaded. Great job by the Spurs if that is the case. The contract will be at its lowest when our current rookies are ready for their next deals.
Not to mention this is an extension. He still has 1 year at $3.8m left on his original deal. So we have Keldon for the next 5 years at a very manageable number.TheNotoriousP.I.P. said:
