Tobi is bringing so much to this team in post and mid-range creation.

Wemby also drops a nice little Dirk Fadeaway midway through.

Jalen Smith is a potential trade target for the Lakers, per @TheAthletic (https://t.co/brPFqrrqE6).

Los Angeles can acquire both Smith + Jonathan Kuminga in separate transactions.

Potential framework:

Bulls: Jake LaRavia or Jaden Hardy, Dalton Knecht, 2nds

Los Angeles: Smith pic.twitter.com/DwXUwzUsgU

Would love to trade Barnes and some seconds for him. Be a really solid backup PF

I would rather have Barnes's experience. Smith doesn't move the needle at all. The Spurs need players who can make a difference in the playoffs and he's not it.

Barnes clearly isn't it, either.

Smith is a very good interior defender and rebounder that can shoot. 6'8 244lb. Shot 37% on decent volume and hits his FTs.

I think Smith would be significantly more useful in the playoffs than Barnes or Keldon.



He's a very solid rotational PF/C.

Pablo's going live with a hot one tonight on The Nephew's saga and I can't help but think how hard it must have been the last few months to work on this without really telling anyone or having leaks etc. The group chat for the PTFO crew must be freaking insane.

Pablo is one of the reasons why I think the NBA comes down hard.

If they kind of brush it off and then he publishes story after story of stuff they didn't address, silver and the NBA look like asshats

NBA just going to drag this out until Kawhitter retires.

So Kawhi is apparently part owner of Rhode Island FC, a team in the USL (same as San Antonio FC) and other real estate ventures.

If this drags on in 2026-2027 season... doesn't he actually make more in salary with the Clips than if he were in Toronto, happiness aside?

I understand going to Toronto he could sign for a new, bigger multi-year deal, but I'm not referencing that in my question...

San Antonio's Victor Wembanyama has signed a new long-term contract extension with Nike -- including a new signature shoe line, per sources. After 3 NBA seasons, Wembanyama has run to the Finals, MVP finalist season, Defensive Player of the Year, max deal and a signature shoe.

The more I read on Tobias, the more I think he will be a great fit.

He's a super steady performer. 15ppg and rarely misses games. He's a solid rebounder and defender. He can play with his back to the basket(something we lacked last year when we really needed a basket). He also can step outside and hit a 3 although he isn't a volume shooter from there. He's not elite at anything but good at everything.

He's never not started and was arguably the third best player on the team with the best record in the East. Any insight on the Spurs plans? Do we think he helps anchor the second unit or do with think Champ goes to the bench?

I think the easy answer/assumption is that we don't disrupt a finals roster and he starts the year on the bench, but he has some real skins on the wall that indicates he is our best PF by a good margin.

No matter how it shakes out our second unit should be loaded.

Tobias Harris is the PF version of Devin Vassell. He was a 15/6 player for 500 games before Philly made the idiotic decision to make him their #2 player. He's a solid 3rd/4th player that does all the little things for you, but if he is carrying your team, you're in trouble. He was Detroit's 2nd best player in the playoffs last year and put up 18/7.

Harris is really the only actual PF on the team and he will likely start at PF. Starting Julian just because he did last year doesn't make sense. Julian is not a PF and he is better off playing at his natural SF position.

Starters: Wemby - Harris - Vassell - Castle - Fox

2nd Team: Kornet - Barnes - Julian - Keldon - Harper

3rd Team: Reed - Quaintance (injured) - Bryant - EMPTY/Two Way - McLaughlin

Two Ways: David Jones-Garcia, Maliq Brown, Jakobi Gillespie

I hope/expect that Carter Bryant takes over the majority of those Barnes PF minutes early in the season. But if Barnes hits his shots like he did early in the season, he is still super useful. Barnes is still going to get the opportunity to prove he can shoot again. Bryant isn't a PF, but neither is Barnes or Julian. Barnes is just too slow to play SF anymore. I think Bryant embraces the physicality more than Barnes or Julian.

She seriously needs to stfu already. The people voted and approved it. You don't get to move the goalposts, then ask for another vote just to get your way. Does she have aspirations for higher office or something? Or is it just a vanity thing and she likes seeing her face and name on the headlines?

She wants to try to unwind the City's deal with the Spurs on the new arena by putting the City's bond initiative up for public vote. The portion put up by the County was already approved by vote, but the City's portion was done through City Council (as permitted by the City Code). The City council approved it after the vote on the County portion was conducted.

Josepi said:

She wants to re-do the city council vote that already passed regarding funding. Guessing her or family didnt get enough of a cut or a no-bid cutout so she wants to try again.
