Should Spurs trade Wemby and build around Castle /s

It’s funny seeing how quickly the narrative has turned now that it’s the Lakers getting beat by the Wembyless Spurs while I had to fight tooth and nail saying the Spurs were a good team against the Nuggets.

Wemby being out last year low-key helped the team outside of Wemby develop roles without him in the lineup. Another year of development has taken them very far

Clearly Kornet will force Wemby to the bench.

Wemby says he’s never beaten Luka, and that’s still true with the Spurs winning without Wemby

I honestly think he should be in the conversation for coach of the year. Don’t think he’ll win it bc Mazzula is doing an amazing job but he should be in the convo

Luka having to guard Castle was the bigger disparity.

Spurs have found their uncleless Kawhi.

Helps to get handed the #1 pick, #4 pick, #2 pick in the last 3 drafts, jumping up significantly last yr. Meanwhile the poor Wizards go #7, #2, #6 despite having a worse record than the Spurs

Castle is becoming a swiss army knife. Need assists tonight? Sure. Need rebounds? Sure. Need points? Absolutely 

You’re right. It goes Wemby, Kornet and Castle.

I don’t care how long it’s been, “The Crypt” will never not be ugly

The crazy thing Is that with Harper it’s a competition for 3rd . Who the fuck let us get these guys ?

No Turd Quarter today!

Good experience

will be helpful in the WCF

Spurs with wemby are actually a very good match up for okc. No one in OKC can guard wemby if hes willing to impose his will and he has a really good supporting cast this season to compete

Stephon Castle

Stephon Chatteau

Kinda crazy to see Lakers having 13 less FTAs with Luka and Reaves both playing.

Except its the other way around for once

Both these teams could be the dynasties of the 2020s-2030s

i’d say this is the perfect game. marcus smart killed it, lakers lost, what more could you ask for?

The Slash Bros. in full effect

What having to practice against wemby does to a mf.

Before the season and right at the start, I was telling friends and family that idk how good we’ll be this year, but we’ll at least be fun. Turns out, it’s both!

Gonna be so much fun Saturday. Got a wedding to go to but fully expect to have the Mrs mad at me for sneaking away to watch at least some of it.

Can’t dislike the team that helped create Presti.

We had a great rivalry in the playoffs for a few years there in the 10’s, took us a bit to catch back up but could be the start of another period like that soon.

it’s okay my dislike for the thunder surely makes up for it.

Feels like the game plan has been out for awhile. Just run fast and you’ll be okay. The Lakers will use 20 seconds on a Lebron/Luka PnR play and score a beautiful bucket, but it immediately gets canceled out by inbounding the ball and scoring a running lay up in 5 seconds lol.

Teams with legs, shooting and effort eat them up bad 

Can’t defend. No bench. No speed. No athleticism.

Luka lost a lot of weight but gained even more in the bag pack he’s carrying.

No athletes. Of course they can’t.

Ayton is fine offensively but not a single Spur was scared of him protecting the rim tonight

Lakers are lacking defense and JJ didn’t put Vanderbilt in the game, the bench couldn’t score outside of Smart, why not sub in another shooter in Dalton?

I feel like the Lakers lacks identity and in game adjustments to be real contenders.

Their lineup is so unbalanced it’s hilarious.

They already lacked defence as evidenced by the playoffs last year and they add Ayton who at his best is an average defender. Lebron aged another year and he’s having to cover for AR and Luka again.

I keep saying they should trade AR and it isn’t about AR’s ability, it’s because he overlaps too much with Doncic, same strengths, same weaknesses, and he has actual trade value.

Who are you getting trading Dalton Knecht or Vando?

Ayton started out good, I dont get why they didnt try to bully Kornet more through him

And it doesn’t stop. Two quarters later, still crying

At some point you’d think he gain some self awareness and realize this is one of the reasons he was traded. When he’s not on absolute fire, he’s a complete liability to his team and very annoying to watch. Diva.

Even in the post game you could see him still chirping at the refs, it’s frustrating to watch

Him crying after obviously fouling Kornet was peak Luka.

Bro’s Vini Jr in basketball

His getting 10+ fts regularly and is still complaining? 😭

DO IT FOR THE LLAMA BOYS

Wemban-llama!

We face yall three times this month 😭

I hope he’s back on Saturday. That’ll be a damn good game if so

Don’t think we have a shot but i really hope if Wemby plays we can push it with yas

at least get shai to play the 4th :D

Excited for the match up

SCREAMS

Had to read a spurs “fan” tell us he was on “Fraud Alert” after our last game that we WON. LMA-fuckin-O. Mitch is proving that he’s our long term coach.

Spurs are looking -real- good.

The amount of BS this guys routinely says on the broadcast is insane. 

You aren’t enjoying the 118 posts about Lebrons dunk?

This PGT has half the upvotes as OKC’s win. If the Lakers had won it would have twice as many as OKC’s

Wait until he gets his Lakers Whistle™ back for a few games and we have to hear how he’s 1st team all-nba, better than Curry/Ant/Spida/Insert young player again

He didn’t get superstar whistle tonight and just looked bad kinda throwing his body around and missing bunnies.

I do think the Spurs offense put a ton of pressure on him and Luka defensively with constantly having guys that are driving at the Lakers guards and putting their body into them. Probably more tired than he usually is from that.

You guys are gonna be amazing lol

Looking forward to the games

Darvin ‘bright lights merchant’ Ham

Darvin Ham fell off, the dynasty was ended this year

Would you go so far as to say…they need to contest without fouling?

We do too 😂

26 minute 30 piece. Castle fucking cooked Luka on the defencive end lol.

I was waiting for it, but when that first shot fell, I was like “woah, is it on hold for the thunder game?”

Lost by 13 to a Wemby-less Spurs.

Only reason this game stayed within reach

Give it a few years. It’ll take a while to build correctly around Luka, but they’ll get there I think.
