Would anyone here be interested in trying to grab Jimmy now that he's lowered his value to a distressed asset level? Best case is you get a proven playoff performer and hopefully are able to strike a decent extension with him. Worst case you don't extend him and he is off the books after next year, leaving us with oodles of cap space still.


I would rather take a flier on Zion Williamson

Yeah that's a hard no on Jimmy for me. Not worth the potential problems.

San Antonio allows 4 percent fewer layups and dunks when Wembanyama is on the court, according to Cleaning the Glass. It allows 3 percent fewer looks from the short midrange. The Spurs defense, meanwhile, is nearly 11 points per 100 possessions better with its anchor on the court, the second-largest differential of any high-minute player in the NBA.

....

San Antonio scores a dominant 1.37 points per possession immediately following Wembanyama rejections that stay inbounds, according to information compiled by NBA stats and supplied to The Athletic. For perspective, the Cleveland Cavaliers own the league's top attack right now at 1.22 points per possession.

Jimmy Buckets in San Antonio would be so weird. Maybe 3 years ago.

A Zion/Wemby pick and roll would be so fun to watch. WTF do you even do as a defense, besides slip under the screen and beg them to shoot, which Zion won't do. He will just bulldoze you anyways.
