This Victor Wembanyama Situation is Wild

the Mavs helped Young Star Luca by trading for Kyrie the Suns tried to help Devon Booker getting Kevin Durant the Spurs had made one blockbuster trade for a star 1974 got 21-year-old George gerin became a superstar since then nothing oh they dealt George Hill for Kawai on draft night no one knew Kawai was that good then they traded away Kawai but this ain’t what they do until now ESPN’s Jonathan gavone is plugged in says they’re not looking to make this a 2 to threee process they want to be competitive next year possibly exploring the trade of packaging the fourth and eighth pick maybe to move up to number one what why so aggressive because Victor wanyama is different the normal idea for a rebuild is like four to 5 years of patience Vick ain’t normal like OKC took 4 years after getting SGA stockpiled a ton of draft picks for what now they have their core and a ton of picks no the Spurs plan for wimy ain’t OKC it’s the Celtics Mavericks Pacers and Timberwolves this year’s Conference Finals and when you look at their starting lineups over half the players were acquired in a trade and these aren’t small trades either a combine 18 All-Star games 10 all NBA 14 all defense if you want to contend like gavon says they do they need a big trade it’s how championships are won but this is the last time we’re talking Underdog this year I know some of you are very very upset about that so I promise that we will have good picks on pick them you pick higher or lower and you can up to 20 extra money in a single night look I’m not guaranteeing that these picks will be just like last time when we got seven of eight picks correct but I will do my best tonight we actually get a free WNBA pick it is Caitlyn Clark over a half Point clearly we’re taking that the other pick in that same game Alysa Thomas we are going to go higher on her points as well and best of luck if you are tailing those picks check out this updated map to see if Underdog is available in your area always use the promo code am Hoops you get up to 250 bucks in bonus cash last year the Nuggets had Aaron Gordon the dubs got Andrew Wiggins the Bucks traded for Chris Middleton Lakers ad Raptors kawhai point is ESS is about to change how they do business why well normally guys aren’t ready to win until their mid 20s LeBron and MJ were 27 Stephan Giannis were 26 shouldn’t they be patient with a 20-year-old wimy even Hall of Fame NBA players were doubting if he could translate to the NBA this quick he’s Elite hell of a talent but some of the that I’ve seen we’re not letting him do that in the NBA sorry but you’re not just dribbling through me like the Harlem exactly I’m sorry oh go oh no put it down okay that wasn’t Draymond Green and those guys guys were actually kind of right at first the Spurs lost 15 games in a row so pop moved him from forward to Center which unlocked the wimy experience it was December 8th against the Bucks the alien vers the freak wimy stole the ball and dribbled behind his back for an and one tossed himself in alyo then blocked Giannis like they’re on a playground the position switch changed everything and he went on a tear that triple double with blocks against the Raptors or making Derek white look like a child but the biggest memory for a lot of people is the second to last game of the year the Spurs had basically nothing to play for the Nuggets could lock up the number one seed and sure enough Denver led by 21 points in the third quarter but wimy took over he scored 17 points in under 3 minutes Capp by a transition three from the logo at 7 fo4 the Spurs won on a Devonte Graham floater but but wimy affected the playoffs without even making it so Chris Paul explained how the ogs feel about wimy now wmy is different wimi is the guy that after the game in the locker room we all we all was talking about playing against him cuz we literally all had to change the way we shot a little bit Yeah because there’s highlights of like Steph Curry driving into the lane having a wide open shot and being like nah nah n wasn’t just step it was half leit dude might be a gigantic nerd l literally he was just caught in a local comic book shop buying Pokémon cards no shame but if whimy is as good as people say he is on a rookie contract that is a cheat code in today’s NBA the new CBA makes it impossible for old school super teams back in ‘ 08 the Celtics added kg and Ray Allen to Paul Pierce and won a chip so everyone copied them the Miami big three KD to the Warriors even failed super teams like OKC having PG Russ and melow or the Brooklyn Nets disaster but now that blueprint sucks just go ask the Clippers or the Suns how the old school super team thing works but if your best player only makes 12 million a year oh you can build a super team around that so the Spurs have a short two to three window to build now then they can reconfigure when wimy gets expensive so what are they going to do well we’ve got that rumor about trading up for the number one pick and I want to dissect that but what do the Spurs actually need well they had a top 10 defense with Vic at Center but the offense was horrible 28th and three-point shooting with no elite point guard the biggest rumor is Darius Garland official odds say the Spurs are a massive favorite to land him over the Lakers pelicans and Jazz everyone’s Untouchable except for Vic and Devin Vel but it all hinges on what Donovan Mitchell decides to do the Cavs want to convince spider to stay and Sham says should Mitchell decide to stay long term Garland’s rep would have a conversation with Cavs officials on potentially finding a new home the Spurs are very interested but is Garland worth it I mean he’s pretty small defensively but on offense he was an Allstar before Mitchell got on his team Garland is so much better as the lone point guard the Spurs think he could bounce back with wimy but what about Trey young tons of rumors about him well any Spurs plans to bring young to San Antonio have been vastly overstated the Spurs sources said have expressed little interest in obtaining young and it makes sense his defense is even worse and he doesn’t exactly respond well to tough coaching Greg papovich another rumor is actually Chris Paul seriously the Lakers and Spurs are Front Runners to land him but before we get to this number one pick rumor what would the trade for Orland actually look like well the Cavaliers want win now players in return their window is open but sa doesn’t have great vets so it’ have to be a three- team deal the Spurs get Garland the Cavs Get Low marinan the Jazz get Kell Johnson Malachi brandham and two top 10 picks the Cavs need a stretch four and there ain’t many better than marinan now I know he was in Cleveland recently but he’s broken out since then as an Allstar the Jazz want a ton back and this package boosts their rebuild which means the Spurs could also do marketing for that package in fact betting odds have ESS as the number one spot to land him too but what about trading for that number one pick I was actually shocked to hear this rumor because ESS has number four which means that the guy that they really want gets taken in the top three so who’s that well the consensus top three are Zachary Reese Alex SAR and Reed Shepard I I think the Spurs would only do this to get Reay he is a 69 fellow Frenchman with wimy he can shoot the ball from three a good defender on and off the ball with athleticism the only issue is playmaking which means they do have to get that point guard but a big three and d-wing who doesn’t even need the ball that is a perfect compliment for Wim banama but Trey young is going to go somewhere Adrian W Janowski even said the trade talk is legit after the Hawks got the number one pick and it makes sense you take number one and get a new face of the franchise but where would Trey actually go I did a deep dive on the situation

  1. Just because Wemby is good doesn't mean two top 8 picks are worth #1 in this class. Spurs would more likely find two good players better than who goes first based on mock drafts

  2. Glad you brought up that April 12th Denver game. To me, that was Wemby's best game of the season. Even better than the game against OKC when Wemby finally ripped that ROY trophy from Chet's hands w/that block. Denver NEEDED that win to clinch homecourt throughout the playoffs and Wemby, with the basically the Spurs G-league squad, guys like Sidy Cissoko who no one knows outside South Texas, beat them in playoff-level nail-biter. And for anyone who watched, Wemby was absolutely the best player on the floor for long stretches — and that was against the MVP. And if you remember, Wemby had gone up against Joker a week earlier (April 4th) and they took the Nuggets down to the wire in Denver and Wemby almost had a quadruple-double. The guy is absolutely legit and I could see the Spurs sacrificing a couple of picks on a guy like Darius Garland; not nearly the cost of a Trae trade in either salary or what you'd have to give up with similar production.

  3. The Spurs could pick up Zacharie Perrin, Mantas Rubštavičius and Jaylen Wells on two-way deal. Kind of kicking the tires. The other player I'd like the Spurs to get is Braxton Meah .

  4. Why do they think the 4 year rebuild started when Wemby was drafted? The rebuild started when Duncan retired.

  5. I swear two weeks ago he made a vid and said smth like, “the spurs want to take time to build their dynasty and wemby doesn’t wanna wait.” Bro, stay consistent.

  6. I would love to see Lauri in spurs team. He would be perfect there. Jazz will tank this decade or longer. Lauri will be wasted in utah.

  7. Spurs draft Lebron Jr at 8. Sign lebron for 3 years 120 million.

    They get their playmaker and they pair their generational talent with a top 2 player of all time.

    Not enough people are talking about this

  8. What!? playing the tallest guy at center worked!? How revolutionary lol. I love how Pap tanked all year and people don't really recognize he was doing it explicitly on purpose. He started a pf at pg. Why would he start a pf at pg ??? Pap is not stupid, he has the rings to prove it. The only reason he would coach so bad is to pull off a double tank.

  9. Pick up reed shepherd and dalton Kinect and you’ll be a contender in 2-3 years. It would be stupid to trade up

  10. I think Chris Paul will just make the current roster a competitive offensively. Just like what he did to OKC
