Dude I don’t think anyone has ever mentionned for a second that Wemby didn’t want to be a Spur. Literally everyone freaked out on draft night at how perfect it was.
You can relax, no one’s coming to take him away from you.

ESPN should have been shut down for at least a year after everything they said and wrote about Jokic last season.

“The Spurs are on the clock or else Wembanyama is gonna go to the Knicks or the Lakers”
Idk how everyone feels about JJ Redick’s recent comments, I personally agree and you gotta take everything basketball media says with a grain of salt. It’s very clear their marketing strategy is to get sound bites and controversial takes to boost engagement over expert insight and history.
No matter how close Windhorst is with Wemby’s camp, it couldn’t possibly surpass his relationship with the Spurs, right? A guy whose job it is to generate content about the NBA as a whole?

Has any other first overall pick been subject to this much wishcasting that he supposedly wants to leave before his rookie season is even over? I don’t recall Ant, LeBron, Zion, etc being subject to this much speculation

I remember watching a video taking about Wemby’s rival with Chet and I immediately clicked off once I heard him say he’s not gonna stick around after his rookie contract lol

It’s simple. 4 years of rookie contract, 4 years of max extension (5 if no player option). No rookie has ever refused the max extension.
If Wemby is MVP-level and the Spurs are contending for titles by the time Wemby is in Year 6 (2030), then no worries. If the Spurs aren’t, then if he wants to leave even if it sucks it’s understandable. Until then it’s pointless to worry.
Except for one player, all the stars who left this century did because they felt like they couldn’t win a title with their current team after 8+ years of trying. Of course that one exception is Kawhi, who only wanted to play in LA because he’s from there. So if Paris gets an NBA team then maybe it’s time to worry lol until then the Spurs literally have until the next decade before Spurs fans have to worry at all.

Its so dumb how quickly some members of the media are shitting on the spurs saying its not or never to build around wemby like dude hasn’t even finished his first season yet

If they aren’t aiming to win next season, he’s not staying.
The front office only started to talk about trading those draft picks after his monster “I love this ish” game.
Before that, they were still talking about 2 more seasons of tanking. Adam Silver is never going to let that happen.
