    Damn, I was hoping the Hornets got #1. I might have made the drive up to Charlotte for a few games to see Ball and Wembanyama. Oh well.

    Seems less a coincidence than the Blackhawks in the NHL.

    Spurs actually have really good young nucleus , Keldon Johnson, Vassell, Sochan, Tre Jones, Branham....good support around Victor to start

    How would you when they prob had zero ESPN/tnt games and yes they prob tanked like any Smart team would do

    imo if u ain’t making the playoffs and a unicorn is out there equals no brainer. Especially in nba where 1 player can change it all

    they are all under 23, not 1’s but the type of guys who will thrive around victor… teams always looking for wings

    vassell & Johnson 2 up n coming ones

    sochan is draymond type, physical and great defender/rebounder… he actually played with victor as kids

    plus a pretty decent coach

    its San Antonio
    people barely paid attention when they dominated for 20 years

    said they were boring… meanwhile last title in 2014 they played some of the best ball in nba history…lot of passing

    I loved the previous Spurs teams, the players they have on them aren't them though.

    Pop can make some ok players into good ones, I'll give him that but that team needs a little more help than Wemmy.

    Shai Gilgious-Alexander isn't special for OKC.
    Lamello Ball for Charlotte isn't either.

    I would have loved to see Wembayana ball with either of those teams though.  I think the pairing would have been better for short term success.

    Luka needs help.
    Wemby will need some help too.
    Ja needs to develop a shot and he will be truly special. He has other moving parts on the team but they talk too much.
    Zion if he plays I think is one of the most explosive players out there.  

    The NBA future looks good.  If superteams aren't a thing anymore it will be a fun watch to see who gets better.

    we will see if his presence there in SA might bring in a free agent, i think it would help if they moved to Austin

    That place doesn't need a sports team, lol.  You see the traffic they have there now?

    San Antonio is a neat town, maybe not the night life of Austin but it still has one.
