Kenny says the dumbest shit. 1) Wemby is on a minutes restriction 2) the spurs won! 3) Wemby is better in every category. Get real. Wemby is him.
😂
Kenny just goes on and on and on. It’s annoying as hell
@@pepsiguy52883 Kenny Smith is a NBA Champion playing alongside Hakeem.. he knows how to win.... Spurs traded their star player to lose and potentially get more #1 draft picks (their record speaks for themselves); OKC drafted well and still NEVER won a championship LMAO and all their drafted players has won Championship (only Kevin Durant) bar Harden/Westbrook... hehe
And 20 months younger than Chet, too.
@@siphillis Wemby is still a PROSPECT while CHET have 1 year training with the PRO'S... but CHET still a ROOKIE cos he miss a whole season
It's honestly crazy how this kid is not only meeting, but exceeding expectations.
remind of some1 from 20 yrs back, amirite?
The spurs just need to wait for Luka’s free agency. The Mavs are destroying Luka’s career
@@ndnd7614as much as I want for luka and wemby to play together, I just don't see luka leaving mavs
How is he exceeding expectations? 😭😭 Is he out there stat padding or having a worst winning record from last year
Luka wants to be the no.1 option. The Spurs just need really solid role players.@@ndnd7614
Chuck is 100% correct here. Spurs aren't gonna blow everything they got this off season to try to win now. The better option is to be patient and slowly build, by the 3rd off season i predict thats when they'll make a huge move and have a team that can seriously compete.
Also, Kenny is such a tool. Wemby is getting double and triple teamed like no other rookie has since Shaq and hes putting up historic numbers. I'd love to see how Chet would perform in those circumstances and not be in a system that has opposing defenses have to worry about J-Dub and MVP caliber Shai well before they have to worry about Chet. He would'nt be putting up better numbers than Wemby thats for damn sure
disagree. wemby is so special u need to compete with him quickly. if a "young" costar player is available (trae young) u get him asap. waiting around is how u end up like the mavs and cavs. u capitalize on ur assets before wemby gets his first big contract and before ur picks and younger guys start to lose value. wemby wants to win and keeping him in a losing environment for however long will hinder him. he'll be great no doubt but next season they cannot be a bottom 10 team
edit: messing up early is hetter than messing up down the line. u have more room for error when wemby is still young trying to find that secondary player then when hes gotten his first contract and now u dont know if he'll stay
@@shosh5806 that's not true at all, I see people already forget that the Mavs tried to cash in early by trading for guys like Porzingis and Bertans early into Luka's career. Even now, the Mavs are good but you're not going to see anybody say the are championship favorites. That's what the Spurs are trying to avoid, tell me how the Spurs are going to acquire Trae Young. They're gonna have to give up a lot of draft picks and then they'll be stuck with just Trae and Wemby surrounded by not so great players. That's a solid team but that's not a contender at all! Trae will be making almost $50 mil a year and eventually Wemby will be making even more, that doesn't leave any flexibility to finish putting more talented pieces in place.
Unless the Spurs can get Trae for super cheap, that's a horrible idea
@@shosh5806 so the plan should be, build by drafting and or trading for better talent for now, nothing too crazy. Let Atlanta's 2025 pick convey and hopefully have a decent pick too that year. Draft more players, and fill out team needs via free agency. Then in the 2026 off season, after developing Wemby, Sochan, and other players acquired through the draft. Thats when they should go all in on an All star level talent, at the earliest at least.
That way the Spurs can have multiple players who are young but have high upside, and still have a ton of draft assets and cap space to work with. You throw all of that away after just the first yr of Victor, theyd be dooming him and the team to be good but not great. And trust me, I'd rather them be bad/mediocre for the next few seasons than be stuck in purgatory where they are too bad to not compete, but too good to tank with no way out. Too many teams fall in that trap and it'd suck to see the Spurs follow suit
Imagine wemby playing with mvp harden or steph. That's what chet is right now. He is wide open on the court because the double teams are on the superstar and if they lose the blame is not on him but on shai.
Spurs needs to do what the nuggets did with Jokic. Good things will happen as time goes
Kenny doesn’t actually watch basketball 😂
All 3 of them don’t watch basketball, except Ernie
@@curtiszyr yeah, you can’t take anything they say too serious when it comes to Chuck, Kenny and Charles
@@alltheworldsastage8597uh did you mean shaq too
Neither do Shaq nor Chuck
@@travisbridges7117 Yea I meant Shaq, him especially! Lol
gonna agree with Chuck here. From the SA owner to Wemby, they're prepared to not skip steps, they want to dominate the league again and not just a one time thing
Wtf is Kenny even saying implying it’s easy for Vic to get numbers because his team is bad and it’s “harder” for Chet? Wemby was on a minutes restriction almost the entire year and sees triple teams every single night his teammates usually can’t even get him easy looks. He can’t even pronounce the rest of the spurs players names right, either do enough research to give a valid take or shut tf up 💀
It’s facts tho cheta gotta share the ball wemby don’t lmao
So it’s harder to hit open shots(Chet) than to score on double and triple teams (wemby), common man that’s a lie, yes Kenny’s right if he was comparing wemby and shai but he’s not he’s comparing the number one option who everyone is trying to stop because of his hype vs the 3rd option on a very good team.. it’s easier to be more efficient in Chet’s situation, although you still have to give Chet his credit for hitting those open shots it’s still easier to score for him
@@JeebyTube Chet never sees a double let alone a triple and gets to play off an MVP pg lmao sit this one out lil bro
@@JeebyTube yeah but also that means Chets way more open because they have to worry about not only SGA but Jdub
@@JeebyTube Chet not even the second best player on his team it is way harder when you’re the guy and everybody else knows you’re the guy and you still dominate don’t think for a second they are the same
Kid has the potential to win MVP and DPOY in the same season.
higher candidate for DPOY next season and prolly both after that
mvp is a reeeeaaaacccchhhh sir
@@The_TRUTH562 He doesn't mean this year lol
@@The_TRUTH562shiid
How about Scoring Champ and DPOY?
Give Wemby 3 players around him. I can see them win 60+ games
Yes !! Get him help now !!
After todays game theres no way wemby isnt getting ROY.
I believe Trae Young x Wemby duo is gonna be insane!
Please make it happen !
@@jatoa9755 This year's top 4 pick + pick 7 + Tre Jones for Trae is a great deal for both teams
The problem is that we probably gonna need to trade Vassell, Sochan, and maybe more just to get Trae. Vassell still got a potential for a breakout next season, Sochan is in his 2nd year. I rather wait and get the top picks and compete next season
Kenny still arguing for Chet even after Wemby drop the nukes on Roty. This discussion is overrr
Victor Wembanyama requires.
PG - big point guard, who can playmake and play defense. Decent shooter. Cade Cunningham would be great.
SG - Defensive minded shooting guard, Amen Thompson caliber player, long arms and decent shooter.
SF - Glue forward, Trevor Ariza, type of player, no true flaws in fundamentals. And decent shooter.
PF - Passing player, can make plays with Victor in low post, look for cuts and dives to the rim. Great fastbreak passer, and knockdown three-pointer shooter. Kevin Love or Frank Wagner, Alfred Sengun, maybe.
Vassell and sochan fill the SG and small forward spots, dev can get his on shot, hit open shots and if you watch sochan story you’d know why the spurs have so much confidence in him, plus if you watch every spurs game you’d see how much of a glue guy he is. They just need time to develop and learn how to play together, despite the spurs being one of the worst teams they’re still ranks amongst the best in assist which tells me they know how to move the ball they’re just missing a starting point guard and some good wing 3 and D guys, because other than Vassell and is osman Victor has no reliable shooters around him but the team has great upside
@samm5334 a big guard won't miss opportunities to hit wemby with easy assists in transition. I'm sure you noticed alley oops aren't being thrown
Sengun and trae will be enough
This guy is just as good as LeBron was ....in October, Chuck was saying "Wemby played against whom ? who knows what kind of competition they have in Europe...can he play here ? ETC ETC" Now suddenly, "Wemby was playing against pros in Europe and Lebron against high schoolers". These guys have a problem with a European becoming the face of the NBA.
I miss Ernie.
Where he at
@@jsm-tac2753he died rip Ernie
This new guy talks too much
@@matthewdesanctis4451he speaks truth you saw how he was shutting them down wemby is putting up numbers only shaq did in his rookie
HE'S ALIVE! stop spreading lies. @@ShaunVillanueva21
How about not drafting another player of the same height, weight, position and playstyle. Draft someone that can compliment Wemby. F drafting the "best player." 76ers wasted 3 draft picks(consecutive years) on Centers. Warriors dynasty, spurs dynasty and bulls dynasty was built on proper balanced drafting and free agency moves.
could trade the pick if that "best player" is top on everyone's boards
76ers didn't really waste, the centers they drafted were busts. They just decided very late that embiid was that guy. Due to his injuries
Embiid out all of them was crazy 😂 @@Peeqkd
The Blazers from 1984 called, they'd like a word with you.
I say Wemby is the new "Face of the NBA"
100% especially if they start winning by the time Lebron retires
La face de la ligue
The face of League is giannas
Bro stop 😅😅
No way @@slightreflections2921
Lebrons Cavs were not as young
Lebron's Cavs were in the freaking East. The East, then, doesn't come anywhere close to what the West is right now. Lebrons team now is far more talented than the teams he had with the Cavs and they are in 9th place.
@@g5162he is 39 bro
@@ellen3871 my point is, they are comparing Lebron's 2003 team in the east to this Spurs team in a loaded West. The Pistons were the only good team and the cavs still only won 17 games
His team had all stars boozer and ilgauskas and rick davis who was good
@@g5162 yeah also the east literally was the worst it’s ever been honestly, the Spurs would probably be a lot better if they played in the east actually, a lot of western teams would be a lot better in the east
These old heads are starting to hate on Wemby or what, how is Chet's situation harder than Wemby? He is playing in the youngest team in the league (22yo on avg), what do they except him to do lol...
If Wemby was playing with SGA they would literally be favorites to win the chip
shaq is right. Also quality players should be wanting to move to the spurs.
Jadahntay Murray lets go Kenny😂
That's how irrelevant that guy is lol
Kenny said they need to win but saying Tre jones might be their second best player 😂😂😂😂😂
CHUCK IS NOT AFRAID TO SHOW HIS WISDOM.
wemby next year will be even better, with how fast he is progressing month after month, just add one vet PG and draft Risacher who has had the same French league experience as Wemby to build French connection (nobody can understand the calls they will make). With the raptors pick, draft another PG to grow and voila les amis!
1:15 WHO?!
Djidantee Murray. The infamous...
Remember how everyone was calling him a bust after 1 summer league game 😂
God bless you guys
I think the Spurs have the potential to be really good quicker than what Chuck thinks. They have 2 high picks this draft, they can bring potentially 2 good players right away, more than probably at least 1 player who can contribute right away.
If they manage to land at least a good free agent this summer, someone like Tobias Harris or Emmanuel Quickley, then Vasell is no longer the second option, you can have it as your third option and then things start to look a little bit different.
JeDante Murray
Wemby ended the ROTY debate with that Block on Chet
Shaq is shaking in his pants
All he need is point guard that can give the ball .. wemby need a point guard like van vleet or schoedr who are competitive and not willing to score but but love to win a game..
Well, they could also, just draft a point guard it makes no sense to go get a veteran player right now. Honestly, it makes more sense to go get a veteran back up point guard. What the spurs are doing it looks like they’re investing more into their back ups. The guys that can teach them stuff because they have no point of using their cap space now.
Shaq saying they gotta build now is funny, considering the Magic won the lottery the year after he was drafted, and the Lakers got to draft Kobe his first year.
He benefitted from the lottery building around him not once, but twice!
Pop knows his players have a family and make a living of basketball he gone make sure every player is in good hands before he trades anybody
No updates on Bol Bol?😂
I’ve always find basketball a little bit boring to watch, but this player made me watch several full games! He is a great player and he makes BB entertaining
Wemby loves the game more than any other player in the NBA..You can see it by the way he plays..Offensively and Defensively..Jordan skills with Kareem height..He looks like a ringer against the other players..
Chuck is right. Shaq is acting like they're on the tail end of the rebuild but in reality it just started, Wemby was the first piece. Be patient, surround him with solid high character guys, and continue to build through the draft these next few years before going after a big name.
I can see Sochan getting much better after some good coaching.
Adam Lefkoe is such a TROLL, did he just say Tre Jones is the second best player on Spurs. LMFAO.
where did ernie go
He has to work 24-7 365?..lol...y'all WEIRD
@@BryantBrothers-gm1qxdude just asked a question
@@LoveOG999 i get it but you still can't expect to see these guys EVERY NIGHT
Why don’t you answer the darn question and stop being a smart ass
@@LoveOG999 and besides...how would ANY of us KNOW??lol
Wimby Forever ❤
Kenny mispronounced vessel until someone else said it so I don't think he watches spurs games enough to understand Vic isn't Stat padding. Do chets stats have a greater impact? Yes because he is the 2nd or 3 option behind an mvp candidate. But Chuck is right. When you are the guy, the scouting report and emphasis is on you. Jordan Poole knows what that is like now.
Even if the Spurs decide to splurge this summer, I don't think they know what they have in Wemby yet by virtue of Wemby's unbelievable versatility to understand how to build around him (except for PG, need a decent PG - doesn't have to be the end-game PG), plus he's so young and just turned 20 this Jan 2024.
Pair him with Luka in San Antonio with Pop as coach.
3 peat
Other teams better start making plans and build a super team because in the next 3 to 4 years with all the draft picks, young talent plus PATFOs known ability to develop talent, cap space, and the ability they now have to attract other all stars in free agency. If we can find a true point guard that can develop a great relationship with Wemby theyre gonna be dangerous. Theyre good at the 4 and the 3. We need a damn PG
Crazy how wemby has been better than most of us expected ik knew he’d be good but this is different. His haters can’t do anything but bring up the teams record even tho they are tanking and he plays restricted minutes.
Chuck need his own podcast 😂
I actually agree with Kenny. I don’t think team wins should factor into ROTY voting as much as it does for the other individual awards but the media has been talking out of both sides of their mouth on this. We can’t glorify the sacrifice of greats like K Love, Chris Bosh and Ray Allen in their commitment to winning a championship while also refusing to acknowledge Chet’s ability to get in where he fits in as a rookie on a very competitive team. His ability to find the amount of success he has within the confines of his role is outstanding.
1:12 Who’s Jedounte?
nice we can now go USA VS WORLD in the all star
1:13 Is no one going to mention Kenny trying to say Dejounte Murray?? Jedounte??
He doesn’t even know how to say vassel such a casual
Kenny been sippin on that okc haterade, chuck usually says some wild ish but he 🗣️ facts
Surprised Shaq doesn’t suggest trading Wemby for Bol Bol.
The record means nothing.. he is playing 28.5 mins a game cause they are tanking guys.. LeBron was playing 39.5mins
I thought Bol Bol is THE GUY 😂😂😂
Kenny it's Dejounte, not Jedonte...
Charles is def right. It's a good thing they are losing, and that's how a rebuild works. When you are bad you get high draft picks and when you are good you get low draft picks. Odds are in losing team's favor to get better players to make things more competitive. You don't want go out right now & trade all your picks to bring in a star to go alongside Wemby. No. You keep losing, let Wemby progress and get more mature, pick up 2-3 more players from the draft, then after that 2nd-3rd year start looking to make trades and/or sign. Ideally, it would look something like Wemby this year, #4 pick next year, #8 pick the following year, #12 pick the next & then make your move. You got Wemby and 3 high draft picked players. Try to sign a good free agent. Trae Young has voiced he wants to come play with Wemby. He could be signed in 26 or '27. Think about it. 28yo Trae Young. Wemby. Hopefully two rookie starter role players with picks like 4 & 8. Then you go out and trade future picks for that player you need most. Could be a 3&D wing (a player like Herb Jones) if the need defense. Could be a player like Bojan Bogdanović (an aging veteran who will start and give you 20ppg as the 3rd option.)
It would be a mistake to rush & trade for a 2nd star this offseason
He needs a player like Cj McCollum and keep tray jones,and shohan (for defence) and trade everyone else to create cap space for a superstar,maybe kyrie or trae young
Third most searched olayer behind lebron and curry. Wemby definitely the new face of the nba and future 🐐
how long until his knee injuries begin?? 🤔🧐
when was the last time anyone has sad a team could build around a teen?
Wemby is a PROBLEM.... this kid is HIM
Maybe look at his defensive stats
Take Nikola Topic in the draft!
if they do the game is over
Lack of shooting, pick risacher (defense and shooting) and trade for pg
@@alexcastvix8823dream scenario, Draft Risacher, trade for Trey and boom Spurs on the way up!
Shaq said Sengun should go to a better team, and says Spurs need to move quickly and build around Wemby. Dumb as take. Houston is a much better team and Sengun can be their franchise guy, why he gotta leave 😂
This rebuild needs to be accelerated
No.
TRUST THE PROCESS, IF SPURS F-ITUP WEMBY IS GONE.... LOOK AT SPURS HISTORY ALL DYNASTIES BUILT THROUGH THE DRAFT POP EXPERT AT BUILDING DYNASTIES
Shaq is right
I don't get why this is on bleacher report
That’s not his hairline! Why didn’t Charles roast him!
Give wemby a pg(trae) and a big man(a jared allen type) get some pieces or even trade for a kumiga and we in there
I agree. Chet & wemby on national TV. These other NBA players scared of each other.
Trae Young (Tre Jones), Vessel (?), Pick 2024 (?), Trade (Sochan), Wemby (Collins)
A good start for 2024
Nah we can't trade Sochan
@@Denzel.Johnson I'm not saying we trade. But we need another PF
Zach collins is fucking horrible lol sochan is in his 2nd year and is only getting better Zach collins is in his 7th and regressing as a player
@@luigibru8677 Sochan only in his 2nd season by year 3 we'll have a good idea about him
Even Darko was the future is now
Yes, LeBron is something else, first 3 seasons: 35-47, 42-40 and 50-32.
7 seasons with the CAVS without another All-Star caliber player.
We never seen Wemby before
Ah yes, joundantay murray, dejounte Murray’s evil twin
Why did Kenny get his head painted red
The “Eiffel Tower” will be one of the best in NBA history
Tre Jones is solid but he ain’t PG for playoffs and success Spurs are aiming for. They need elite PG
He has a passing skill, inconsistent shooting, not so good defense
That is way the Spurs are rebuilding give them time. When KD got drafted by Sonics they were last in the west until They got Harden at 2009-2010. OKC made the playoff.
It's sickening to read crap about any slow rebuilding for the Spurs. They will be wasting Wemby's career. Win now !! Losing is dumb
Why shaq so inpatient
FOR ONCE CHARLES IS RIGHT SPURS NEED TO DO 3 YEAR PLAN BY THAT TIME WEMBY WILL BE IN HIS PRIME.
Were's Ernie?
Wemby's rookie season numbers are easily better than LeBron's.
For vets they are missing the biggest point of all, the spurs are not like any other team. Pop is not like any other coach. A few good vets including and if tre Jones keeps developing 2 yrs the spurs will be in the play offs if not next year.
Wait wait talking about okc what was their record last year? In other words they had a better squad then San Antonio and Chet just got there adding his talents to the ride. Spurs will be there don’t worry
Imagine wemby with trae.
Pop is tanking this season with a reason to pick Nikola Topić in this draft
Chuck's response should be : Big ol woman 😅
It is surprising that TNT has not replaced Kenny. He is the weakest link on that team. They have guaranteed viewership, because they are on before and after NBA games. If the viewership market was more competitive, he would've been gone.
As great as Wemby has been there's still a chance he doesn't have a super long career. Spurs need to try and surround him with talent as quick as possible to take advantage of the time they'll have with him.
Always negativity from mr.casual fan u in here...y'all weird
@@BryantBrothers-gm1qx My fault, forgot we can't be realistic in here. I knew Wemby was gonna be great three years ago. Him becoming injury prone is still a valid concern.
that's why wemby have minute restriction to avoid injury to have long career
@@AfricanH3ro but your acting like that's a groundbreaking narrative for a big man...health is important for EVERYBODY...is it something to think about?of course but to bring it up Every TIME we talk about his future is ANNOYING
Lebron and Melo came in to a veteran team. Wemby came in to a very young team.
imagine if the spurs draft bronny and now you bring in lebron and he can teach victor and his son.
Bol Bol can do the same! LOL
If I'm Trae Young I want to go to San Antonio.
Pop is losing on purpose. Tanking to build around his core. We all know this. The win tonight shows it.
Stop hating Chuck
He isn’t he’s right. You can’t go straight into getting pieces and making moves thinking you’d get far in the playoffs. Take your time and build something strong.
@@stevenmark4407spurs making playoffs next year 3 years is stretching it
The difference between lebron and wemby rookie is they may have a trash team but at least lebron played with vets.

Jedonte Murray 😂
