Official starting lineup:

Fox - Castle - Harper - Vassell - Wemby

I kinda like the experiment of the small ball around Wemby. The paint will be hard to attack with Wemby there and having quick guards who can all defend on the perimeter might actually work. Next man defense and pre-switches might help Wemby stay at the basket while maintaining a decent perimeter defense. What do you think?

Wishing him a quick recovery 🙏🏻😔

Blazers waive Sochan

ORL waive Branham

Clips waive Blake

Sad. Hope he finds his place somewhere.

Dude dealt with finger and thigh issues the whole regular season, then rolled his ankle hard against the Wolves in the playoffs and had to sit Games 1 and 2 of the WCF. Under normal circumstances most guys would’ve been shut down the rest of the way to focus on getting healthy.

But after the Spurs dropped a game to the Thunder without a real point guard (Castle had 11 turnovers trying to fill in), Fox forced his way back and helped push San Antonio to the Finals.

Yeah, he struggled bad in the Finals, no question. But the guy literally put his career on the line for his team. In an era where everybody’s so careful about injuries, that kind of grit deserves way more respect than it’s getting.

He played hurt and didn’t get it done. Heard nothing but trash from the fans and trust me, he heard what we said. A healthy Fox with a chip on his shoulder? Dude is going to show up.

So just saw Ben Simmons tore his Achilles, and I know it was super unlikely but I was really routing for Ben to make a comeback and be his old all star self, I doubt it would have happened that way but I loved watching him play back when he was at his peak.

Got me thinking and I remember there was a time when I really wanted the Spurs to trade for Ben and then build around him, let him go to work and be able to spray it out to 4 shooters on the perimeter. At that same time I also wanted us to go after John Collins.

Time obviously showed why I’m not in a NBA front office but I was curious what other players y’all really wanted the Spurs to go after and never ended up on the team?

Whether it be a trade we didn’t pursue or fell through, a free agent we didn’t Target or a draft prospect we passed on.

In his last 3 games he averaged 17 ppg and 3 assists and was very solid defensively too. He looks like he could force himself into the rotation very soon potentially the backup PG of the future

The main basketball sub was complaining when Sabonis got a flagrant foul for hitting wemby in the face. They called Wemby soft and a flopper and accused the nba of favoring him, even blaming Wemby for touching Sabonis’ wrist first.

Yet they complained that Wemby shoved Sabonis who went flying across the court despite him being stronger than Wemby. They argued that was an offensive foul and was mad refs didn’t call it.

Am I crazy to think the ref was right? Sabonis elbowing Wemby in the face was a flagrant and dangerous. Wemby push off was a normal basketball play. It’s crazy fans think what Wemby did was worse than what Sabonis did.

This happened in the finals too. Everything Wemby did was crucified yet fans ignored Knicks doing the same thing.

Fox/Castle/Harper combined last season:

• 31.2 3Pr (% of FGA that are 3s)
• 19.7 3PA/100
• 33.4 3P%
• 74.6 FT%

Not great (or voluminous) shooters and obviously extra space would help them get downhill more.

Maybe Wemby goes back to a higher 3PT diet? In 2025, nearly half of his FGA were 3s and he was taking almost 15 3PA/100 (made 36% of them).

He shoots 38% on wide open 3s for his career so playing with 3 guards in the same lineup should get him more and more easy looks imo.

Not making any assertions or declarations, just tryna get a temp check on how yall feel about that

Go ask questions!!

I am cautiously optimistic about this. I think with Tobias at the 4, this lineup could work. It’s also important to realize that who starts, won’t always be who finishes, as we know with the GOAT sixth man Manu.

I think this is the best move to assuage and Devin will buy in. Race for seis begins!

So today is the last day to use the fan club 50% off discount code for DAZN. The email states that you can use the code on either the standard or ultimate plan. I tried using it for the ultimate plan but then it says the code isn’t valid for that plan and only for the standard plan.

Because it’s the last day to use it I signed up for the standard plan with the hopes that customer support would be able to assist in getting me on the ultimate plan. After speaking with support I came to the conclusion that it had to be AI. It was the most disappointing, scripted, non helpful customer support experience I think I’ve had. I asked them to just cancel the plan I had signed up for (not an hour before) and refund me and they said they could cancel but not refund me, which is just ridiculous.

Not even one week having to use this service and I am extremely disappointed.

Just wondering what you guys are thinking about the Pre-Season. Anything that stood out especially? How did you like the rookies, 3 guard lineup, Wemby as playmaker, etc… Let’s get a nice discussion going!
