Victor Wembanyama’s short Vegas run 13:40
Other Spurs players at Summer League 23:55

Options with the Spurs’ remaining cap space
With the Reggie Bullock trade now complete, the San Antonio Spurs are operating with up to $15.5 million in cap space until Tre Jones and Sandro Mamukelashvili sign their new deals.
The interesting question for now becomes what are the Spurs going to do with that cap space? Will they participate in a trade for another player? Will they try to sign any unsigned free agents, or will they just sign Jones and Mamukelashvili and shrink the cap space to $5.5 million?
Victor Wembanyama’s short Vegas run
Sunday Victor Wembanyama finished his short Summer League run with an impressive 27 points, 12 rebounds, and three blocks game against the Portland Trail Blazers.
Wembanyama’s game going forward is discussed in the episode.
Other Spurs players at Summer League
Malaki Branham, Julian Champagnie, Dominick Barlow, Blake Wesley, and Sidy Cissoko are discussed in whether they’re meeting expectations, surpassing expectations, or whether any of the players have struggled at Summer League.
More In-Season tournament details
Saturday the NBA announced more details regarding the new In-Season Tournament. During Group play, the Spurs will be in Group C in the Western Conference, where they’ll play the Sacramento Kings, Golden State Warriors, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Oklahoma City Thunder.
From there, the rest of the schedule is discussed along with how teams will qualify for the knockout rounds and what happens to the 22 teams that don’t make the knockout rounds.

Wemby update!!! Needed it for the weekend 🎉
Sidy and Barlow might sadly be stuck on the G-League team for at least half a year while they try to trade Reggie and Cam Paine and the other vets to clear the space for the young guys. I want to see like 2 minimum salary vets on this team next year and 13 young prospects fighting for minutes
I could see the Spurs make a reasonable offer for Dame (three first round picks and a young player like Malakai) if the Heat can't make the deal happen and the Spurs are a top 6 team without him next year. If we're that good and that gaping hole at PG exist than we might get really good with Dame. But I would rather wait for Tyrese Haliburton to get bored of Indiana and want to go play for a contender. He's the only one I would be okay spending the entire bag on. Otherwise Derrick White is a free agent next year and we could resign him to a 20m a year deal and he would fit perfect as the PG
