I agree. He’s already completely changing the offensive schemes of opposing teams. If he had some competent NBA players around him, I think he could go the Kareem/Russell route and start competing for championships from year one.
Think Spurs are making a huge mistake if they consider this a development year, which I believe Pop has said isn’t the case. Your best path to developing is competitive playoff series where the other team targets every weakness in your roster. OKC has been developing for how long and they’re still doing nothing despite SGA being first team all NBA last year.
If I’m the Spurs I’m very aggressive at the trade deadline hoping to grab some disgruntled superstar as well as other vets who will appreciate a guy like Wemby covering up for their defensive shortcomings. Should be looking to win a title this year.
