Bad News FOR THE SPURS



Bad News FOR THE SPURS

Oh man this is uh bad indeed when I saw that I am getting so tired and sick of this uh guys it’s it’s not looking too great it’s not looking too great for our Spurs I want some R we having fun yet all right so I got good news and bad

News if the chat was here right now I would ask which one you want to hear first but uh I’ll just choose for you um so let’s see here we’ll start with uh the bad news okay we’ll start with the bad news the bad news is it’s starting

To look a little bit more likely that the San Antonio Spurs will not have uh three first round picks we already knew that the Spurs probably wouldn’t have three we thought well maybe they’ll have two it’s starting to look more and more that we’re just going to have one we’re

Just going to have our pick to bank on okay now that is the bad news all right but the good news is the 2020 24 draft is not going to be as strong as the 2025 draft um so there’s that so as far as it not conveying this year it is fine we

Could get plenty of picks next season but as it stands right now this is not great this is not Gucci um and I’m starting to be even more convinced though to be real with you guys that the Charlotte Hornets pick probably will never convey like it it it won’t convey

First round picks I think it will probably more than likely go into the second round picks um we’ll get a second rounder out of it um whatever that might look like so uh ve very frustrating there but let’s see here so Stars players injury update is terrible news

For the San Antonio Spurs that is absolutely true they’re talking about lamelo ball so lamelo ball has declared out for the rest of the season I’m sure you guys have heard that already and while the Spurs have done a phenomenal job in acquiring so many first round picks and other teams picks uh

Unfortunately it it it’s not it’s not looking too hot um as far as these conveying so let’s see here let’s see what they say Lamela ball to miss the rest of the season with ankle injury it was announced this morning this is a few days ago um that the Charlotte Hornets

Star Lamela ball will miss the rest of the season while he recovers from his ankle injury uh so a lot of Spurs fans that actually wanted lamelo I I don’t want him I think that he would fit perfectly with us but he he he’s injury-prone all right it’s very

Similar to like J Moran I I would love to have job but then again on the other end it’s like H he is he is injury prone uh so let’s see so it says what does this mean for the Spurs San Antonio sits at the bottom of the league with the

Third worst record only above Detroit Pistons and the Washington Wizards and the Hornets only have one more win than the San Antonio Spurs it is now neck and neck race to the end of the season and sometimes you begin to see teams intentionally losing to benefit their

Odds and the draft lottery the Spurs are in a three-way tie with Detroit and the Washington Wizards uh for the top odds to land uh the number one overall pick in 2024 NBA draft at 14% I’ve seen quite a few fans just call for wimy to just

Sit um I don’t think the Spurs are going to do that I think they’re going to continue to attempt to win um just play their odds you already got your guy this isn’t one of those drafts where like the number one number two overall pick like the the talent Gap is just Monumental

Right it’s not like it’s wimy and then it’s every body else is not one of those drafts it’s one of those drafts where there’s a lot of talent but the the the skill Gap isn’t that far off right um You have a legitimate shot of getting mates buellis you have a legitimate shot

Of getting Ron Holland and to me as far as potential wise I I don’t think those two are that like too far off but that’s just that’s just me um you know and and that opinion might change as time goes on and we start really going in on all

The draft picks uh before before the draft we’ll be doing that soon like once the season’s over um but anyways it says based on this dra or graph uh Charlotte is in the Spurs rear view mirror with the odds of Landing the first pick at 12.5% with both of these teams having

Nothing to play for but Lottery odds it could be possible that Charlotte begins to rest some of their other significant players like Brandon Miller miles Bridges and Trey man in an effort to jump the Spurs in the race and Propel their odds to the maximum of 14% wow

Okay so I actually did not when I saw this first cuz I did not read this article we’re reading it for the first time when I first saw this article I thought that they were thinking what I was thinking which is we’re never getting this pick like like I want the

Charlotte Hornets pick so bad but and and we weren’t going to get it this season but is is it ah they just been so bad dude and I that’s what I’m thinking that we won’t their their picks won’t convey um and and they’ll turn into second rounders that that’s what I was

Thinking this was going but no they’re saying they could jump in front of us as far as like you know their odds of of winning I’m not really worried about that I I don’t really care about that but moving on um for this draft in particular I don’t care San Antonio has

Nine games rending with the opponent’s average win percentage uh of 54 uh% uh and the Hornets have 10 games remaining with that’s um that was my dryer I I I really apologize um I I’m not going to edit that out I like the authenticity okay uh

It is safe to say it will be no easy task to pick up wins in the closing stretch which will benefit both teams odds in the lottery the San Antonio Spurs have a play have to play a game of chess while many across the league play Checkers after picking up backtack wins

Over the Suns and Jazz uh you have to wonder how much winning would benefit this team which nothing okay I’m G to say this now I am taking the approach of the Spurs fans of last season okay or or the minority of Spurs fans last season

There was a minority of Spurs fans that said it is much more beneficial for the Spurs to attempt to win to win games last season for some type of like Integrity reason right like some type of like artificial this this benefit the team in the long run because you want to try to

Be winner there it is again it’s over it’s over um but yeah like oh you know if you win you know it’s all about having heart you got to have heart I did not care about any of that I didn’t believe that that team next season will bring us anywhere I

Still hold to the fact that there’s a couple of guys on that Squad that I think will stick with us everyone else who knows for the future we need our guy and I was watching wimy for the past couple seasons and I was like this guy

Is going to be ridiculous we have to get him I don’t care about this whole we we’ll worry about our integrity later well I think now is actually the time to worry about your integrity while we’re in the middle of a rebuild and obviously getting top picks is is great and that’s

Wonderful the Spurs have lost so much this season and they’re still learning how to win wimy is still learning how to win um and I do think that facel soan and wimy are going to be really key components uh to this future and and this thing that that we’re trying to do

That it’s essential for them to learn how to win now so I do not think that now is the time to tank and just lose games on purpose you already going to have a great draft position the draft already doesn’t have like this one guy and everyone else is just Left Behind

There’s a there’s a lot of talent the talent gaps aren’t that far off I I’m not tripping about it that much honestly um 2025 is one where I’m really excited about but right now 2024 at least the Vibes I’m getting it it’s it’s not it’s

Not that crucial for the Spurs to get a number one overall pick they they don’t if if we get it that’s dope but we don’t it’s not essential right um so that’s all I have to say about that uh so I would not think that the Spurs should

Start trying to lose on purpose or anything like that don’t don’t don’t we we lost too many games you you’re starting to get you know a little bit more chemistry just ride that wave man I think that’s much more beneficial for us for future– wise than anything else you

Got plenty of picks in the future you got plenty of cap space you can move so many pieces um you have some tradable pieces on this team that you can move don’t trip about it um you know try to win do your job don’t don’t think about

Anything else I didn’t feel that way last season but we’re we’re on step two now okay we we don’t have to take a step back we can at least attempt to win now um anyways winning more games down the stretch may increase the attractiveness of San Antonio to potential free agents

In the off season but that possibility has to be balanced with an attempt to get best draft position available I don’t think the Spurs I don’t think Spurs winning games down the stretch will have free agents I feel like free agents will be excited to play with wimy regardless like they know

They’re part of something like I I don’t think winning the last few games mean anything also I would assume free agents would see that as well obviously you’re winning the last few games there’s going to be quite a few teams that’s just going to sit players right actually if

We look at the Spurs here we type in Spurs here I got to type in spur that’s so stupid all right here we go and we look at what’s left so this is being recorded before the next game before the Warriors and the next game CU I won’t see you

Guys um I’ll probably go live on Tuesday so this is before all that um but if we looking at everything here let’s see the Warriors definitely aren sitting nuggets I don’t I don’t know you know they might take a load off right uh Pelicans I don’t know where the Pelicans sitting

Right now he look at standings Pelicans are five okay it’s pretty crucial for them yeah it’s pretty crucial for them I’m I’m not sure I’m not sure what they’ll do uh here let’s go back let’s go back to games um you got the 76ers they’ll they’ll more than likely

Compete Grizzlies I can’t I still can’t believe we lost that other game that last game um you got the Thunder uh hopefully I catch that game I’ll be out of town for that game Thunder probably sit their players depending on how things are standing like if they’re locked in where they are

Same thing with the nuggets um and then the Pistons Spurs should in on a W uh so yeah I don’t know I just don’t think it really matters free agents could very well see the last stretch as you didn’t have that much competition and then on

Top of it you had a couple players a couple teams that sack guys I don’t know I don’t think it matters as much as much as I get to play with wimy like people have been talking so highly and and we’ve been in the media circuit the entire season regardless of of the

Losing right like obviously if we were winning more we would be even more uh so in the in the you know in the swing of things but yeah it doesn’t matter it doesn’t matter at the end of the day um those are my thoughts there this is

Unfortunate I feel like the more he’s hurt the worse it is for us because this is this is conveying into next season and I don’t know if the Charlotte horn is going to be better next season I don’t know what he’ll look like next season I don’t know if he’ll be ready to

Go next season it’s just so frustrating uh so I I’m kind of giving up on the Charlotte horn pick to be real it’ll be nice if the Spurs were to like package that pick with something else and a sucker takes it I have no idea but we’ll see anyways

I will get with you guys later man until next time Bye m

  1. Clan! You've got the best Spurs channel out there. Good insight, nba knowledge and Spurs history, all while being entertaining & engaging. Keep doing your thing.

  2. Saludos desde Chile Bro, todos los que saben de basquet ya se subieron a la Wembyneta
    Muy buen video

  3. sas may have already messed up, now tied for fourth… they needed to lose and they know how to do that… That was the point of losing the entire year… If fate pulls them out they will be very thankful… Still 2024 draft, sas NEEDED to have two good choices and now they could end up having only one 7-10 = ruined entire purpose of this season mostly.

  4. I won’t even look forward with that pick. We could trade the picks for Trae young. So that’s good, long as we have are picks

  5. I'd honestly rather Raptors get unlucky rn and fall to 6th or 7th so we get the pick but that might be short-sighted thinking ig

  6. Best case scenario we get the number 1 or 2 pick and get Sarr. But if we don’t get Sarr I’d be really happy getting Matas Buzelis. I just hope we go with a bigger guy that can defend.

  7. I've given up on the Hornets' pick conveying ever since we got it.

    As for the Raptors' pick, I wouldn't mind it not conveying this year.

  8. This draft class isn’t the best so I’d rather the Raptors, Hornets, and Hawks picks be for 2025. Clan I know you’re a Trae Young fan but I personally feel like the Hawks unprotected pick is more valuable than him. I’d love to have 3 picks in the 2025 draft as would any spurs fan and I think that the Raptors and Hawks picks will be very important for us in 2025.

  9. Clan, have you thought about doing a pod doing a deep dive into the protections of each pick that we? It seems like different picks have different structures after it fails to convey to the Spurs.

    I'm surprised the Hornets pick would get worse the longer it's delayed. Usually they become less protected or not protected at all.

  10. According to the 2023 draft percentages, if the raptors end up with the 6th worst record, the spurs will have a 54.16% chance of landing 7th or later. 70.64% if they finished 7th. So we have a chance still. I would use it to get trae, trade toronto for sac. Trade our 2nds for a high 1st rdr, give it to atl. Give the back hornets, 2027 and handfull of 2nds. Plus kj, maliki, wesley or Jones, choose one. Keep 2025 and swap

  11. Meh. No biggie. We need all star caliber veterans to join Wemby. We still have a lot of good future draft picks. We need proven talent now to help Wemby win now.

  12. Just my opinion, but you want to be 3rd. I think since they changed the system the 3rd team has won the 1st overall pick at least 75%. And yeah it's a down year and unless you really need a certain player maybe it doesn't matter where you sit in the order.

    My thing is I want the twin towers effect. Sarr to me and a number of people is the best player. Has been from the start and among all the options for the number one pick he has always been at or close to the top.

    That said you are sorta correct as it would not be the worst thing if the Spurs have lower or higher pick as long as they get Toronto's pick. That is what I am watching for with the remaining games. Because it's still possible for the Spurs to get 2 top 10 picks and they need the extra talent
