- Victor Wembanyama will most likely win rookie of the year and has an outside chance at defensive player of the year. Either way the Spurs got everything they hoped for but what's next? This is a look at San Antonio's offseason plans to build around Wemby.

3 firsts and sochan is absolutely insane for caruso.
Yeah as a Spurs fan Im good with keeping Sohan. Just dont put him at Point
Garland trade idea was already over the top, but this one made me stop the video. @A.M.Hoops shouldn't get high before recording.

Lmfaoo that article saying over speculation that Wemby wants out, BRO HE’S A ROOKIE LMFAOOOOOOO Espn already tryna create storylines that Wemby wants to be on a winning team, the media is acting like he’s 27 years old and has been on a bad Spurs team for 8-9 years when in reality it was only his FIRST season in the entire LEAGUE
Right lmao, it’s not like he’s KD when he jumped on every team he played with and didn’t do well after leaving the Warriors. No need to rush like how the early 2010s Heat did and only had 2 rings and the Mavs after trading with Brunson🤣
ESPN is just hoping Wemby goes to LA to milk as much media coverage... They just hate every small market team having a star playwr
Don't be surprised when Wemby dips after his rookie contract.
And San antonio fans think Wemby is born in SA and he got all his familly there wich is not true .
(i mean he doesn't care to leave if it is not working or not ambitious enought)
awful trade ideas
They always are on this channel
I can tell you’re both just beaming with more brilliant ideas 💡
Spurs need defense to help wemby & collins needs to go. Our pgs are amazing need more minutes.
@@AppliedNuggetsyea no trades
@@trenchant.t8261our pg is a good back up pg, we need someone to take the offensive pressure off of wemby hopefully we draft rob dillingham
As a San Antonian this is a bad take this city is all about built not bought. To remove 3 starters who have been in the system for 2+ years just doesnt make sense. Why would they hit the reset button after finishing the season beating juggernauts after a huge learning curve?
Because they need to get with the program or get out this is wemby team nobody gaf about what they did before he got to the spurs the league will push him so other players will be lined up to play next to him 😂
im sorry it's time to adopt the new system, trades and free agent market deals
Because they all want to be stars, THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE
They are holding wemby back fam…
ITS BEEN ONE SEASON PEOPLE, AND THIS TEAM POST ALL STAR BREAK HAD THE BEST TEAM WITH WEMBY BEFORE THEY SHUT DOWN KJ DEV AND SOCHAN. STOP TRYING TO KILL OUR CULTURE AND NARRATIVE OUTSIDERS🗣️🗣️🗣️
I love vassell’s game, I believe he should stay with the spurs for a long time with wemby
Spurs trading Vassell would be front office malpractice. He's hands down the most underrated player in the entire league. I've never seen somebody basically average 20 a game and get shit on like this. Dude also has the most on court chemistry with Wemby too. Literally the ONLY guy that works well with Wemby.
Agree
He is the 2nd best on the team and they do well together
Yep
hell no that guy has no passing vision. Casual take.
@@GThunder_GamingI watched every single spurs game this season, Vassell has shown a lot promise. He’s not untouchable, but he’s damn near close to it.
Wemby has the most blocks in April (28) and he stopped playing April 12th😲
Spoiler alert the timberwolves could make the finals and wemby will likely still have more blocks than Rudy
They’re doing the right thing, just be patient and don’t rush. Championships will come in time
No way they're getting rid of Sochan. I think the team will mostly stay the same next year. Maybe one move for a younger player that fits. It won't be Young.
They love Sochan. He was the bright spot of the year last year and has already shown incredible development for such a raw prospect. He's also just 6 months older than Wemby so he's really just getting started
@@blablablaa14 He reeks bro he is a bad defender bad shooter and an average playmaker.
@@emilfrederiksen.1622bad defender? Sochan is out against every teams star player lebron,booker,edwards,hell if he didn’t get injured Brunson wouldn’t have gotten 61 bros a amazing defender stop repeating what casuals and bandwagons say and actually watch more then a handful of games
@@blablablaa14 raw prospect... still raw in y2. he's such a negative on offense, with versatile but average D. This archetype don't work in this NBA era...
I don't trust at all his shooting form (veeeeeery slow). I don't think he's a starter material on any team wanting to win. But for the second unit he's a fine roleplayer
@@cobra1334 come on, stop with the eye test, look at his D-Rating, his D is just average on every metrics.
But he is still the 2nd best D on Spurs roster... That's just showing how *baaaaaaad* Spurs are on D outside of Wemby and Sochan.
3 firsts and Sochan for Caruso is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard
Exactly. Sochan is a good defender. No point to trade him away with so many draft picks. No way.
At the SPURS we don't say "Spurs's 2nd year tanking and will suck on purpose" but "being clever in the rebuild to properly kick y'all asses later but in a more sustainable way" and I think it's beautiful (so do Wemby)
Yeah, it's called organic growth, not skipping steps.
Being opportunistic, not impatient.
5:44, YOU'RE THE ONE WHO MADE AN ENTIRE VIDEO ABOUT TRAE YOUNG GOING TO THE SPURS AND HOW HE'S THE PERFRCT FIT TO PLAY W/ WEMBY 😂
Even during the playoffs... Wemby is the only story that matters
That's tuff
Wemby brings in a ridiculous amount of views
Word
this is what happens when you have one of the greatest rookie seasons of all time if lebron or mj were rookies in this era the exact same would happen for them
@@denzel8827maybe 20+ ppg for both of them in their rookie versions in today's league. Put Kareem, Hakeem, Shaq, Ewing, D. Rob, Bill Russell, and Wilt as their rookie versions against Wemby to see who really is THE big man. Along the way get Dwight and Ben Wallace just to make people go wth is happening lol
Teams are built not bought nowadays. Its a new era where teams that took time to build like the Nuggets, Thunder and Timberwolves are now the successful teams and teams that made big trades to get where they are like the Suns are struggling. This team needs time to work together and click, they do NOT need to shuffle the deck.
They do need a point guard around Wemby who will actually pass him the ball.
@@emilfrederiksen.1622Tre Jones does that but this Spurs team is so young other players need the ball. I also think Keldon Johnson and Zach Collins must get traded
Bruh the spurs already have their front court set with Sochan and Devin Vassell to go along with Wemby they just need a starting caliber PG to get others involved
Sochan is not a starting material. He's such a negative on offense. It don't work at all in 2024 NBA.

For Caruso and garland is insane idc if it's top 100 protected, u could get kd and another star with those assets
Most teams aren’t built through Free agency anymore. Save the cap space to sign all your young studs for life. You know like Sochan, who they’re never going trade.
Who is terrible
And you are even worst
looking for drama and doing analytics on a tanking team is crazy work. People so bored and overreacting day by day. They will take it slow for a couple of years for sure. Keep Garland and Trae Young away, they can grow better
Wemby could pull a Shaq and leave after his rookie deal if the Spurs are unserious about winning. Staying pat would be nuts and hope you land someone good in the draft that would be like what Cleveland did with Lebron.
Wemby want to win and bigman with his frame only last atleast 10 years those foot injury will hunt him when he start getting it
@@emilfrederiksen.1622 Of course the Spurs are serious about winning. Don't you know them ?
Nah he should play two more year with spurs building draft capital. Then go off in 2026 draft and free agency.
@@emilfrederiksen.1622so insane people really think players will get leave the team that drafted them so quickly
I think the Spurs play it smart. I think they keep all their picks, rebuild in the draft and use their cap space to bring in vet players.
That doesn't work in the modern NBA especially the western confrence it will take 5-10 years to catch up using that strategy. Spurs doesn't have as smart of a front office as OKC.Brian Wright has been proven to be a bad gm he literally gave up Derrick White for nothing he doesn't know what he is doing.
@@emilfrederiksen.1622you’re not that smart
the hard thing for wemby is that he's watching chet and OKC kill the play offs while he's stuck with the spurs while they build...hopefully it pays off for him and they go on a legacy run with a healthy wemby when it all slots into place
Fuck you he isn’t waisting his years with us
Yeah chet is in wembys head rent free. I think deep down wemby wishes he was in chets spot in okc.
@@swish1457nah probably enjoys being the center piece
Chill out dude, it's been one season.😂
@@45asunder1 i know but for wemby its been his whole career, especially watching another rookie he has history with doing well with his team
It's not a sprint, it's a damn marathon.
I was on board most of this video until the trade talks. He didn't mention a big reason for the Spurs potentially looking at Trae Young is that San Antonio has a bunch of Atlanta's picks for this year, so they could possibly get Young without having to trade a ton of guys like some of the other trade scenarios that were floated around. San Antonio's never been a super trade-heavy team either, so I'm thinking they're probably going to rely on the draft this year and, depending on what happens in this draft, play this season with what they have to work with. Pop has said multiple times he really likes his team makeup now, and has really enjoyed building around this team, I doubt they're going to want to trade the farm for Alex Caruso.
I’m early to a AM Hoops video
The spurs are a rebuilding team and that’s a point guard to help Wemby succeed plus the draft class is weak so the spurs can get a gem
Caitlin clark and wemby would be a epic duo
I am a big Dalton Knecht fan and I would love to see him playing for the Spurs next year.
Lol if Spurs get another 1st overall pick you will definitely have a lot of people saying it’s rigged just like they were saying last year.
In the 16' and 17' drafts both 3 first picks were: Philly, Lakers, Celtics in that order
It was rigged. You think the commissioner would let a talent like wemby just waste away in Detroit

Wow 5 first for Garland and this coming from the guy that tore up MN for giving 4 first for Gobert. My how times have changed. Delusion at its best.
💯
knowing what the spurs have been for the entirety of their existance, they will develop in the draft. They benefit negatively from moving too fast because this organization simply doesn't move fast with their players. Trading for players Especially the players mentioned does not help them in the long term but instead it shows to me that this is more of a panic move to satisfy a star. They don't want to be the next Atlanta hawks. Tank until 2026 for all I care if I was the spurs.
You couldn't be more spot on. These videos are supposed to be watched by Wemby with hopes it convinces him to move on to another team. The early psy-op agenda to shuffle generational talent is already in full swing. Too bad it won't work out how they hope.
Then Wemby will get annoyed and leave Wemby is already sick to death seeing Chet playing in the post season he wan't to get there as soon as next season.

Of course they planed for Wemby years in advance, it's obvious
Spurs GM was spotted scouting Wemby in 2019 lol
When my man said kaitlyn clark i jumped out ma seat ngl
I know LeBron will never join the Spurs but I still puked a little when I heard that it's a possibility.
I checked out whenever I heard someone start talking about “Spurs need a pg most urgently” or whatever
Personally, I don’t see how anyone could’ve seen a good amount of Spurs games and not thought that first and foremost they need shooting and defense
Shhhhh . Don't speak facts. Please.
And a point guard Spurs need a lot of needs Point guard depth better players in general shooting defense etc.
The only Spurs players that might want to stay but should be worried about being traded or resigned:
Keldon Johnson, Devonte Graham, Zach Collins, Malaki Branham.
I would honestly love to go after Caruso!
Keldon Johnson
Malaki Branham
1 st round pick (least favorable of any of the 1sts we get in 2025)

Dude, I hope we don't tank for one more year. We've been mediocre at best for too long. I know there are teams that have been suffering longer than us, but I'm a relatively new fan (Spurs fan since I started watching seriously in early 2018) and although I know it makes sense to be bad for another year, it hurts me that I've never seen the good Spurs. I love this team and I want us so badly to be relevant again. It hurts a lot.
Relax, you will see the winning Spurs, but now is not the time to compete, the team is too young and learning
Rushing things is how you fck up
@@mekacrab 100% agree. Look at Denver, only made big trade with AG on Jokic 7th or 8th season. They could've won earlier but injuries happened. Bucks only made Jrue trades with Giannis 8th season and paid of same year, just cursed with injuries too the next years. Slow and steady wins the race. Maybe spurs can win earlier than the 7th and 8th season of Denver and Bucks but Spurs know what they are doing
As a lifelong Spurs fan you seem like you'd be a better Houston rockets fan.
LMFAO. 2018? Lmao.😂😂😂😂😂 BANDWAGON!
If the spurs have the 1st pick I would pick Topic. That guy would be a great fit with Wemby
He can't shoot
@@ibek7133 Exactly cant shoot, cant play defense and he is not an athletic player. Also he is a point guard that i believe he needs the ball in his hands to be effective as a player and i dont think that will be a good fit next to Wemby.

@@GalaadJoachim Sochan and a first rounder for Carruso is a good trade but 3 is extreme unless they are heavily protected.
If they can get wemby Gianni’s and sochan. That would be the best defensive team in the league
Vassell alongside Wemby are the future of the Spurs.
Darius Garland to Spurs is a great idea. What a fit. I dont know about that many picks, but if they are protected and they basically give up 2 picks plus those three protected, hell yeah! Garland has been an allstar and would be a great fit for Spurs!
As a Spurs fan 1. No trades look good at all. 2. You said they are going to tank next year, nope the tank is over. They will play the 1 or 2 top lottery picks a lot next year but I expect them to be close to getting in the play in next year.
They waiting to draft cooper Flagg 🤞🏾
This video was straight madness, wtf?
do a Pelicans offseason video
noti gang🔥
Gotta love that Spurs content. GSG!!
this gon be interesting
They should bring back the BIG 3: Manu, Duncan, Tony.... should be really cheap this time
I paused the video to make this comment after "Sampeni". Moving on to another video.
What I love is that when a guy wants to leave, the team wants to get what they can which throws a wrench in their actual value because the guy could end up anywhere
Alexander sarr and wemby is better duo for spurs
ngl Vassell & Keldon Johnson still good fits with Wemby, they both can develop into elite 2 way players, just add a really good PG around that whether it’s Trae or Garland or simply just a vet like a Russ CP3 type player to establish a culture but get Wemby involved
Vasell is a one way shooting Keldon Johnson is just bad.
*KJ* can shoot (but below average on offense), but he's just really bad on D (ranked #18 worst D in the NBA) there is no way he can become a 2-way player...
Caruso is not worth that
It would be interesting if the nba added a loan system like they have in football in Europe. Inaginenloaning wemby to a title convector for a year or two for some picks/assets then using those years to tank and build a good team before he comes back from the loan in a few years
I love your offseason videos!
(been watching since 2021)
5 1sts for Darius Garland is outrageous man cmon lol
I’m not giving up any picks for no alex caruso his highly overrated
wembronyama hits ngl
To be clear, if Sochan gets traded for Caruso, Chicago would have to give the Spurs multiple unprotected firsts. Apart from Wemby, nobody on the Spurs is untouchable, but the Spurs are very high on Vassell and Sochan and they both fall into that “he means more to me than you” category
Makes absolutely no sense for SA to tank again. Wemby will be a top 7-9 player next season and you have the ability to possibly pair him with another superstar like Butler via trade.
as a spurs fan…honestly…there’s too many overpaid no shows or damaged goods that I rather get players that’s on the bench that can hoop and looking for a contract ..esp with the salary cap can’t be having divas holding up the bank
bro but thumbnail was disrespectful for Daniel vassel
coz he is great
Most definitely some good pgs in this draft
Spurs need to grab some vets to mix in with the young talent. Keep Sohan and Vassel unless you get offered a legit trade. They need another backup big, starting level point guard, another wing that can shoot the 3.
rob dillingham is an elite point guard
It would be smarter for SAS to tank one more year, pick TOP4 guy in 2025, and do the big trades during 2025-26. Also they could get some 3pt shooter like Bogdan Bogdanović from ATL for the picks they got from hawks.
Demar Derozan as a “Starter” is so disrespectful if you have Klay Thompson as “Sub-Star”
Spurs should not throw away what they got in cap space and drafts picks for anything build up instead and definitely get rid of a lot of players currently on the roster they need to be traded away that wasn’t playing smooth with Victor
People say it’s crazy but Lebron to the spurs is the best option. What better than one of the best vets in history of the league!!!!!

i would love to see casey do a offseason spurs rebuild in 2k24
Awful trades my god the spurs would lose their whole fan base for this awful trades. None of those trades make us better
What I'd like the Spurs offseason to look like:
Sign Tyus Jones (3 years, 60ish mil?)
Trade Keldon + 2 1sts to Brooklyn for Mikal Bridges
Starters: Wemby, Tyus, Sochan, Bridges, Vassell
Bench: Tre, Collins, Rookies, Branham, Bassey (when he comes back), Champagnie, anyone else I'm forgetting + any vets they add
Both Jones brothers assure there's a high IQ ball handler in the game 48 minutes, Bridges can beef up both shooting and defense and be in a better role as a #2 or #3 option, young bench makes things interesting, still plenty of ways to pivot.
Bro can you talk about the Heat next?
I think you keep Sochan and Vassell to play with Wemby. They just need to understand their roles- if they don’t trade them for guys who do. If they do understand their roles then you follow the nuggets model to build a roster like them. You have a dominant post player, Sochan can play that AG role. Vassell can develop be that 3rd/4th scorer. They need a 3 and D wing and champ is not the answer but a bench role player. KJ needs to get traded. Then you get a point guard who is a star.
Consistent uploads got me edging
Rebuild from the beginning! All the organization!
Why are you doing that video right now?
Come on- wait for the draft. There are better storylines to be telling
Jalen Brunson playing like an MVP?
Laker struggles?
Denver vs TWolves matchup?
Something about Derrick White and deep dive into Porzingis injury?
Hell, even Josh Hart is better story right now than Spurs.
Do Better Andy, please
Funny thing is NBA fans are all going to want Wemby to leave. If he leaves and immediately wins they will disrespect his rings saying they were easy just liek how they did to Kobe, If he stays like Carmelo Anthony and Damian Lillard they gon say he wasted his career and should have left after a season or 2. Nba Fans and media always have weird opinions and narratives and I wouldnt recommend listening to most of them because if you arent playing for their favourite team they are going to hate on you for no reason at all. Wemby should do whatever he wants.
I agree with Windhorst to an extent. No need to give up those first round picks for solidish players. New NBA bargaining agreement will throw up more free agency/trade options over the next 18 months due tax cap. 🍻
It's absolutely not what Windhorst think Spurs should do, but more what he think Spurs will do (which is "nothing", as always)
Bruh your trades are wild. Idiotic to drop our future with some of these draft picks.
Raps will be in top 5 drafting. Wiz, hornets, hawks definitely don't deserve it.
I think Devin is safe. He’s a young 3 & D with upside and he’s on a very affordable deal.
I’m still not sure what to make of Sochan. The PG experiment at the beginning of the season really messed with his confidence and it was difficult to see how much he progressed as a result. His defensive versatility is a very valuable asset but he really needs to develop into more of a perimeter shooter to round out his game.
Keldon Johnson is as good as gone. He’s peaked as a player and what he is just doesn’t work well with Wemby. Poor defender, poor passer, poor vision and court mapping. He’s a very good finisher at the rim and he’s got the girth and strength to finish through contact, but the bull in the China shop only goes so far.
There’s a scenario - improbable, but possible- where the Spurs end up with eight picks (five FRPs, three SRPs) in the 2025 draft.
Those picks are FR: Own, Atlanta, Chicago, Charlotte, Toronto. SR Own, Chicago, New Orleans.
At that point they seem to lose value and leverage, instead of gaining it.
If Chicago, Charlotte and Toronto look like they’ll convey around the time of the 2024 trade deadline, I’d expect their big move to be at that trade deadline.
There’s a reason some people are at home and not in GM chairs lol
I agreed with Tyus Jones, I thought Tre jones the younger brother can do the same, but I was wrong.
What about Nikola Topic at the 1
I wanted to make a bronny joke, but you already made it in the video.
As a Cavs fan, i swear if we do this trade and somehow end up with Cooper Flagg. WOW, im not a fan of Keldon tho
AM hoops is Throwing 3-5 First Round picks for Role players.
Tbh this draft is quite interesting to say the least. Spurs probably need to start with a guard, and pray Toronto slips to 7 and they could probably snag a forward.
If Spurs pick Risachier and get the 7th pick they could trade the 7th pick and another 1st to move up if Dillingham or Topic isn't available.
I can guarantee you come back time by next year‘s playoff and we will not be like what this guy at all. Definitely ain’t Tanking lol
if Spurs still give 20+ min per game to *Malaki Branham* (the worst D in the NBA with bad efficiency on the other side, the worst BPM of the NBA) they are definitely tanking.
None of the trades will happen, they have gold draft picks until 2030 (not saying they will tank until 2030 lol) but they will target some vets in FA and SAS always great at targeting draft picks whether 1st pick or 50th
Spurs aren't trading Sochan. He, along with VW and another 3&D player (not Vassell) will save the Spurs in the 4th Qtrs.
Garland would indeed be a good fit, but they won't give too many assets now, as the team in at the very beginning of its timeline, it's too early.
Sochan will stay for sure, Vassell may stay, Wmeby of course. All the rest is expandable.
For the draft, if they're 1 or 2, they should get RIsacher (most NBA ready player in the draft, best D and one of the best shooters) or Sarr (best big man, highest ceiling, they need another rim protector).
If they pick further, Salaun is perfect (and in my opnion has a better potential than Risacher).
They can wait for another year to get their perfect PG, no rush, the Spurs are one of the best teams at sharing the ball.
