Spurs Fiesta 5: San Antonio vs. Philadelphia 76ers - Which Has Brighter Future?
1. SPURS vs. SIXERS "The situation with James Harden is unfortunate," Harris said in an interview with ESPN. "I want this to work out for all sides, including James. But we have to keep our eye on the big picture, which is that we're still a contending team and most teams in the NBA would change places with us in five minutes."
“Harris can say that all he wants, but the real question is whether or not San Antonio would willingly inherit Philadelphia's situation ... for the good and bad."
2. SPURS MATH PROBLEM "Right now, the roster is a math problem," The Athletic's John Hollinger writes. "The Spurs have 18 players with partial or fully guaranteed roster deals for the coming season, meaning that at least three cuts or trades must be made. I would humbly suggest that none of the four players they signed by their own volition this past summer (as opposed to contacts they were paid to take) will be among the cuts, nor will any of their recent first-round picks."
3. VIC'S NOT A CENTER "Despite his 7-4 frame, Wembanyama is not expected to play at the center position, instead suiting up at power forward for San Antonio."
4. RONNIE2K ON WEMBY RATING "It's a real statement that we're making," Singh said. "We think he's going to be really good. I'm excited."
5. SOCHAN TALKS POPOVICH "What [I learned last season] is just how cool he is," Sochan told USA TODAY FTW. "He’s a regular dude who loves basketball, loves to be around people and loves to shed his light on life and the game."
