Inside the NBA Talks How the Spurs Can Build Around Victor Wembanyama 

Kenny says the dumbest shit. 1) Wemby is on a minutes restriction 2) the spurs won! 3) Wemby is better in every category. Get real. Wemby is him.

It's honestly crazy how this kid is not only meeting, but exceeding expectations.

Chuck is 100% correct here. Spurs aren't gonna blow everything they got this off season to try to win now. The better option is to be patient and slowly build, by the 3rd off season i predict thats when they'll make a huge move and have a team that can seriously compete. Also, Kenny is such a tool. Wemby is getting double and triple teamed like no other rookie has since Shaq and hes putting up historic numbers. I'd love to see how Chet would perform in those circumstances and not be in a system that has opposing defenses have to worry about J-Dub and MVP caliber Shai well before they have to worry about Chet. He would'nt be putting up better numbers than Wemby thats for damn sure

Kenny doesn’t actually watch basketball 😂

gonna agree with Chuck here. From the SA owner to Wemby, they're prepared to not skip steps, they want to dominate the league again and not just a one time thing

Wtf is Kenny even saying implying it’s easy for Vic to get numbers because his team is bad and it’s “harder” for Chet? Wemby was on a minutes restriction almost the entire year and sees triple teams every single night his teammates usually can’t even get him easy looks. He can’t even pronounce the rest of the spurs players names right, either do enough research to give a valid take or shut tf up 💀

Kid has the potential to win MVP and DPOY in the same season.

After todays game theres no way wemby isnt getting ROY.

Give Wemby 3 players around him. I can see them win 60+ games

This guy is just as good as LeBron was ....in October, Chuck was saying "Wemby played against whom ? who knows what kind of competition they have in Europe...can he play here ? ETC ETC" Now suddenly, "Wemby was playing against pros in Europe and Lebron against high schoolers". These guys have a problem with a European becoming the face of the NBA.

I believe Trae Young x Wemby duo is gonna be insane!

Victor Wembanyama requires. PG - big point guard, who can playmake and play defense. Decent shooter. Cade Cunningham would be great. SG - Defensive minded shooting guard, Amen Thompson caliber player, long arms and decent shooter. SF - Glue forward, Trevor Ariza, type of player, no true flaws in fundamentals. And decent shooter. PF - Passing player, can make plays with Victor in low post, look for cuts and dives to the rim. Great fastbreak passer, and knockdown three-pointer shooter. Kevin Love or Frank Wagner, Alfred Sengun, maybe.

Kenny still arguing for Chet even after Wemby drop the nukes on Roty. This discussion is overrr

How about not drafting another player of the same height, weight, position and playstyle. Draft someone that can compliment Wemby. F drafting the "best player." 76ers wasted 3 draft picks(consecutive years) on Centers. Warriors dynasty, spurs dynasty and bulls dynasty was built on proper balanced drafting and free agency moves.

These old heads are starting to hate on Wemby or what, how is Chet's situation harder than Wemby? He is playing in the youngest team in the league (22yo on avg), what do they except him to do lol... If Wemby was playing with SGA they would literally be favorites to win the chip

I miss Ernie.

I say Wemby is the new "Face of the NBA"

Lebrons Cavs were not as young

shaq is right. Also quality players should be wanting to move to the spurs.

wemby next year will be even better, with how fast he is progressing month after month, just add one vet PG and draft Risacher who has had the same French league experience as Wemby to build French connection (nobody can understand the calls they will make). With the raptors pick, draft another PG to grow and voila les amis!

Jadahntay Murray lets go Kenny😂

CHUCK IS NOT AFRAID TO SHOW HIS WISDOM.

Kenny said they need to win but saying Tre jones might be their second best player 😂😂😂😂😂

Remember how everyone was calling him a bust after 1 summer league game 😂

God bless you guys

1:15 WHO?!

I think the Spurs have the potential to be really good quicker than what Chuck thinks. They have 2 high picks this draft, they can bring potentially 2 good players right away, more than probably at least 1 player who can contribute right away. If they manage to land at least a good free agent this summer, someone like Tobias Harris or Emmanuel Quickley, then Vasell is no longer the second option, you can have it as your third option and then things start to look a little bit different.

All he need is point guard that can give the ball .. wemby need a point guard like van vleet or schoedr who are competitive and not willing to score but but love to win a game..

Shaq is shaking in his pants

Pop knows his players have a family and make a living of basketball he gone make sure every player is in good hands before he trades anybody

I can see Sochan getting much better after some good coaching.

No updates on Bol Bol?😂

Wemby ended the ROTY debate with that Block on Chet

Even if the Spurs decide to splurge this summer, I don't think they know what they have in Wemby yet by virtue of Wemby's unbelievable versatility to understand how to build around him (except for PG, need a decent PG - doesn't have to be the end-game PG), plus he's so young and just turned 20 this Jan 2024.

Wemby loves the game more than any other player in the NBA..You can see it by the way he plays..Offensively and Defensively..Jordan skills with Kareem height..He looks like a ringer against the other players..

Other teams better start making plans and build a super team because in the next 3 to 4 years with all the draft picks, young talent plus PATFOs known ability to develop talent, cap space, and the ability they now have to attract other all stars in free agency. If we can find a true point guard that can develop a great relationship with Wemby theyre gonna be dangerous. Theyre good at the 4 and the 3. We need a damn PG

JeDante Murray

Kenny mispronounced vessel until someone else said it so I don't think he watches spurs games enough to understand Vic isn't Stat padding. Do chets stats have a greater impact? Yes because he is the 2nd or 3 option behind an mvp candidate. But Chuck is right. When you are the guy, the scouting report and emphasis is on you. Jordan Poole knows what that is like now.

I’ve always find basketball a little bit boring to watch, but this player made me watch several full games! He is a great player and he makes BB entertaining

Crazy how wemby has been better than most of us expected ik knew he’d be good but this is different. His haters can’t do anything but bring up the teams record even tho they are tanking and he plays restricted minutes.

1:13 Is no one going to mention Kenny trying to say Dejounte Murray?? Jedounte??

Chuck need his own podcast 😂

Kenny been sippin on that okc haterade, chuck usually says some wild ish but he 🗣️ facts

nice we can now go USA VS WORLD in the all star

I actually agree with Kenny. I don’t think team wins should factor into ROTY voting as much as it does for the other individual awards but the media has been talking out of both sides of their mouth on this. We can’t glorify the sacrifice of greats like K Love, Chris Bosh and Ray Allen in their commitment to winning a championship while also refusing to acknowledge Chet’s ability to get in where he fits in as a rookie on a very competitive team. His ability to find the amount of success he has within the confines of his role is outstanding.

Shaq saying they gotta build now is funny, considering the Magic won the lottery the year after he was drafted, and the Lakers got to draft Kobe his first year. He benefitted from the lottery building around him not once, but twice!

Adam Lefkoe is such a TROLL, did he just say Tre Jones is the second best player on Spurs. LMFAO.

Chuck is right. Shaq is acting like they're on the tail end of the rebuild but in reality it just started, Wemby was the first piece. Be patient, surround him with solid high character guys, and continue to build through the draft these next few years before going after a big name.

I thought Bol Bol is THE GUY 😂😂😂

Wimby Forever ❤

Surprised Shaq doesn’t suggest trading Wemby for Bol Bol.

Pair him with Luka in San Antonio with Pop as coach.

He needs a player like Cj McCollum and keep tray jones,and shohan (for defence) and trade everyone else to create cap space for a superstar,maybe kyrie or trae young

1:12 Who’s Jedounte?

Kenny it's Dejounte, not Jedonte...

where did ernie go

how long until his knee injuries begin?? 🤔🧐

Third most searched olayer behind lebron and curry. Wemby definitely the new face of the nba and future 🐐

Give wemby a pg(trae) and a big man(a jared allen type) get some pieces or even trade for a kumiga and we in there

I agree. Chet & wemby on national TV. These other NBA players scared of each other.

Charles is def right. It's a good thing they are losing, and that's how a rebuild works. When you are bad you get high draft picks and when you are good you get low draft picks. Odds are in losing team's favor to get better players to make things more competitive. You don't want go out right now & trade all your picks to bring in a star to go alongside Wemby. No. You keep losing, let Wemby progress and get more mature, pick up 2-3 more players from the draft, then after that 2nd-3rd year start looking to make trades and/or sign. Ideally, it would look something like Wemby this year, #4 pick next year, #8 pick the following year, #12 pick the next & then make your move. You got Wemby and 3 high draft picked players. Try to sign a good free agent. Trae Young has voiced he wants to come play with Wemby. He could be signed in 26 or '27. Think about it. 28yo Trae Young. Wemby. Hopefully two rookie starter role players with picks like 4 & 8. Then you go out and trade future picks for that player you need most. Could be a 3&D wing (a player like Herb Jones) if the need defense. Could be a player like Bojan Bogdanović (an aging veteran who will start and give you 20ppg as the 3rd option.) It would be a mistake to rush & trade for a 2nd star this offseason

This rebuild needs to be accelerated

Ah yes, joundantay murray, dejounte Murray’s evil twin

Maybe look at his defensive stats

That’s not his hairline! Why didn’t Charles roast him!

I don't get why this is on bleacher report

We never seen Wemby before

I have what might be a hot take, and most will call it a stupid take (and I'm okay with that). Ben Simmons. Assuming his physical health, I think he'd fit perfectly with Wemby. He's a very good ball handler, an excellent passer, he can guard 1-5, SA would be the new Lob City, and you don't have to worry about him taking too many shots. Yes, Simmons has his problems, but now that he's fallen so far from his peak, I imagine his next contract will be incredibly team friendly. He only has one year left on his current deal, at $40M. Thats the last year of his 5-year, $177M deal, which will dwarf whatever his next contract turns out to be. That was a 35-40 million dollar per year deal, so I'd bet he will get maybe half of that in his next deal. I just think Simmons and Wemby running the floor together would very effective, and very entertaining. They would have the best interior defender that can hang with guards, and arguably the best perimeter defender who can hang with the bigs. Add to that they have the draft capital and cap space to make some serious trades as well. Just my opinion.

Even Darko was the future is now

👽 🔥

Why shaq so inpatient

Wait wait talking about okc what was their record last year? In other words they had a better squad then San Antonio and Chet just got there adding his talents to the ride. Spurs will be there don’t worry

The “Eiffel Tower” will be one of the best in NBA history

Take Nikola Topic in the draft!

The record means nothing.. he is playing 28.5 mins a game cause they are tanking guys.. LeBron was playing 39.5mins

Why did Kenny get his head painted red

Shaq said Sengun should go to a better team, and says Spurs need to move quickly and build around Wemby. Dumb as take. Houston is a much better team and Sengun can be their franchise guy, why he gotta leave 😂

For vets they are missing the biggest point of all, the spurs are not like any other team. Pop is not like any other coach. A few good vets including and if tre Jones keeps developing 2 yrs the spurs will be in the play offs if not next year.

when was the last time anyone has sad a team could build around a teen? Wemby is a PROBLEM.... this kid is HIM

Shaq is right

The spurs are like two years away from being real they need another draft from their pics and the hawks pick before they could start going crazy in free agency literally going after free agents. One year after Wembley is a good way to be mid forever look up the thunder for example, it took them almost 5 years for them to be contenders again now they look like they’re set up for the next 10 to 11 years with how much draft picks and good players they have on their team the Spurs are doing at the right way take your time you have literally the best prospect we’ve ever seen don’t fuck it up and it’s not like he was drafted into Tim Duncan situation where he already had a Hall of Famer right next to him his second best player would be the fourth or third best player on contending teams they need to really take their time shit they could draft another superstar next year they could probably get another first overall pick

Trae Young (Tre Jones), Vessel (?), Pick 2024 (?), Trade (Sochan), Wemby (Collins) A good start for 2024

TRUST THE PROCESS, IF SPURS F-ITUP WEMBY IS GONE.... LOOK AT SPURS HISTORY ALL DYNASTIES BUILT THROUGH THE DRAFT POP EXPERT AT BUILDING DYNASTIES

shaq is right, chuck too. but shaq got the guts for what happens inside championship calibre teams or what it takes being there in the first place. thats another thing to live it than to only know it

Jedonte Murray 😂

Imagine wemby with trae.

Were's Ernie?

The Spurs are doing the right thing, by taking their time it makes no sense to rush to go get free agents when your team is not competitive at all That is a perfect way to stay mid forever this team needs to draft for another two years and find players that fit Wembanyama game This team is gonna have a fuck ton of cap when they actually start competing so they can afford a max deal and probably some good bench pieces and will have the draft picks and ammunition to make a trade if need be

Sell the house for Brandon Ingram draft smart and bring in a HEALTHY lonzo ball type player and there top 4/5 seed next year

Tre Jones is solid but he ain’t PG for playoffs and success Spurs are aiming for. They need elite PG

They’re the now?! Chuck is right. They haven’t done anything to say this is their time. Most of that thunder squad isn’t even fully developed. Only proven play is SGA and we haven’t even seen them in the playoffs The now are teams like the Bucks, the Nuggets, and the Celtics. Even the timberwolves who have a better record aren’t being called the now. Why? Cause they haven’t done anything to prove this is their window.

If I'm Trae Young I want to go to San Antonio.

Pop is tanking this season with a reason to pick Nikola Topić in this draft

Lebron and Melo came in to a veteran team. Wemby came in to a very young team.

What happened to Ernie Johnson? I hope he's healthy and just missed one show...?

As great as Wemby has been there's still a chance he doesn't have a super long career. Spurs need to try and surround him with talent as quick as possible to take advantage of the time they'll have with him.

WHO did they trade Kenny? 😂😂😂

It's sickening to read crap about any slow rebuilding for the Spurs. They will be wasting Wemby's career. Win now !! Losing is dumb

Imagine if Detroit drafted melo instead of darko

Get Wemby a Penny Hardaway.
