San Antonio Spurs

1. REGRET WITH REAVES? "San Antonio not maxing Reaves gets dumber every week," Simmons tweeted. "Congrats on saving that cap space for Cedi Osman and Cam Payne."

2. VIC'S IMPACT "Keldon Johnson and Devin Vassell are good bets to lead the San Antonio Spurs in scoring again," Bleacher Report wrote. "But Victor Wembanyama should still be expecting a high-usage role for a team with limited front-court depth and prospect development as its No. 1 priority."

3. WEMBY IN THE RING "The former world boxing champion better known as "Jesse" James spends every summer teaching the finer skills of ring pugilism to whoever the San Antonio Spurs draft in the first round. It's a tradition that dates back to Tim Duncan in 1997."

4. KEEPING IT CURRENT "[Popovich] thinks it's important to know what's going on in the world," Collins said. "I know it sounds simple, but he'll randomly ... throw a news clip on the screen right before film."

5. MCDERMOTT MINDSET "Balance, short-term memory and ... mindset," McDermott told a young fan during the Spurs' team-sanctioned basketball camp. "It's more of a mindset than anything. Balance and how quickly you can get it off."
