Woj tells the Spurs to MOVE QUICKLY & give Victor Wembanyama more help | NBA Today 

Nah having more blocks as an individual than 7 teams is crazy

Moving quickly dosent mean success. Its making the right moves in a timely manner.

this is literally his first year, lol. no need to rush too, its not like Wemby is gonna want out of SA. just surround him with good pieces, and trust the process. Spurs are gonna be good in a few years man

Making win-now moves in a rebuild is exactly how you end up like the Atlanta Hawks. OKC was terrible for 3 years and now look at them after they reaped the benefits of the draft. Give the Spurs one more year to be terrible and have them get all their top 10 draft picks in 2024 and 2025 and their set for a dynasty. Mfs so impatient. Whats Wemby gonna do? Ask out in his 2nd year? I aint never seen that happen in NBA history. Spurs know they got 4 years to make him happy and theyre not just gonna let someone like that walk in free agency so they know they gotta make sure hes happy by that deadline..but right now, theyre playing at their own pace. Just enjoy the ride

Still crazy when Shaq said theres a Wemby in the NBA right now. Wemby is absolutely crazy to watch.

Sports media just wants to create a frenzy. The Spurs will never give into that nonsense. They will build a sustainable winning machine with some of the young guys they have now. Patience will serve them far better than trading the farm for a vet.

ESPN would like you to think Wemby won the game alone yesterday, not that Devin Vassell also scored 28 points, Sochan had a 20 and 10 game, Tre Jones made multiple threes and assists, Keldon was a spark off the bench. This isn't just a Wemby show, they are all working together and its the chemistry that has made them better throughout the year. They are all the core of the team building together. There is no rushing

Spurs don't need to rush. They should keep developing and set themselves up to be serious contenders starting in two-three years imo as another high draft pick or two would do more for them than going all in with 20 year old Wemby next season would. Give him and the rest of the team time to grow.

The Spurs are missing that playmaker. Passing the ball and controlling pace. They get just one guy. The whole team is different.

Wemby will be just fine. No reason to rush.

Agree with the other posts. No need to rush. Rebuild through the draft. A franchise that is so good at drafting like the spurs should trust their picks more.

Why do people want to rush things, give him time to develop. At least 2 more years with the current core.

Victor needs to enter the slam dunk contest lol

Why rush? The team is young and developing

Victor is just like Dallas with Luka. You gotta surround pieces around them now instead of later cause they’re just that good

Victor actually made history today by being the first man in the history of the NBA to be named Victor Wembanyama and be talked about on ESPN on a March 1st. That has never happened before.💪🤯

1:35 Man Zach Lowe'd laugh right there too jokes. Man laughed like a 5 yr old child

I think Spurs wouldn't need to make the right move, I think free agents and even a few of the great players would force their way to Spurs. The idea of playing with Wemby, who could be mentioned among the greatest of all time, I bet there are players that are already thinking of joining the Spurs.

That pee wee Herman laugh at 1:37…and the realization of how dorky it sounded 😭😂😭

Would be 🔥 if the spurs can make a trade to get Cade from the pistons then klay in free agency to help out wemby

5:22 “The ceiling is the roof”

Ppl are reacting this way because they have seen what happened to the Cavs, OKC, and Bucks before Giannis forced their hand on the drew holiday trade. Once a player proves that he is one of those guys. It is then on the coaches and the front office to create a culture around them to start contending for chips before that player goes somewhere else to do so.

I can fully understand the kid! I mean, look at Joel Embiid, I can still remember Embiid coming into the league and be seen as a top prospect, and in two weeks he turns 30! Time flies and I wish Wemby that he doesn't have to make a LeBron to Miami or KD to the Warriors move at some point because in his head the race against time starts. If the Spurs can pair him with another star, they are immediately a big threat.

Lol the double hand head smack at the end. 😂

There's no reason to rush. The Spurs are a young team that are rebuilding. Yes Wemby speeds up that process, but no need to jump the gun

I like them signing Miles Bridges, keeping Vassell and looking to trade for a legit top PG or signing someone like Russell as their PG and keeping Jones as the alternative. Malik Monk is intriguing too.

they should probably focus on adding a quality point guard. doesn't have to be a star but someone good. trying to build a contender in the offseason is not going to happen. they can add the best free agent in siakam but since their timelines are so different it would help now and become a problem in 3 years. they should draft best available player and continue to develop wemby and sochan. once they are in play in level go for the big name free agents or trade future draft capital.

I agree. It's not hurry to win a ship but hurry to win, hurry for Wemby to play with great teamates because you're learning a lot when you play with super players. Wemby is a winner. He wants to win everything, individual awards, titles and not regret anything. He's not going to wait 3 years for the spurs to build a youth team. And who tells you that Wemby will stay a Spurs after his contract ? If he wants other challenges? see if he can win with another franchise etc so spurs don't delay.

I disagree, give him another year and build younger assets as much as possible before you go full force. You can't rush your way to a championship unless it's already a veteran superstars teaming up.

Shoutout to Malika for plugging “the ceiling is the roof” joke in there 😂😂

Perfect guy to wean us off the shortcut taking, no-confidence having LeBron James super team era

Everyone debating who the next face of the league is… HE’S IT. Case closed 😊

history of the league tell you guys Wemby size don't have 15-20 years careers hopefully he beats the odds but Spurs need to hurry up and get this right

0:39 Brian what do you mean Wenby is not talked about enough or being given enough credit?THERE WAS TALK OF HIM BEING AN ALL TIME AND NOW TALK OF HIM WINNING ROTY

Nice show.

I think the Spurs will move some players this summer and possibly some picks. It won't be crazy like trying to mortgage all their assets for a win it all next year situation but I could see a couple new starters. An all-star level point guard by themselves paired with Wemby probably takes the team to .500 ... after that a small forward with good conditioning who is a 3 and D player would really help.

“He wants to win” … incredible reporting

He's changing the league! Can't wait to watch for years❤

Vic will be the face of the league idc what nobody say he him and he only 20

Spurs must have like $2.7 billion in cap space with their G-league squad. They could sign Giannis, Jokic and Luka in the off-season.

Next year will be nice we are learning each game and confidence is increasing each night and players are connecting. It takes time nothing happens over night and once we add 20/30 lbs of muscle on Wemby and a key point guard like Trey young or a DFOX it’s over

that 2 1/2 months playing without starting pointguard really hurt spurs season...and when Pop back then start Trey and let sochan play he's legit role which is pf the spurs play way different

That cold pizza reference and lowe bursting out louddd❤

i trust that the spurs will continue to draft well in the next few years to build a good team around wemby

he's a rookie, they're not in a rush especially in a tough western conference

I told everyone this man is THE MAN before he came to our city, since he came he has not let us down with his performances and professionalism

He makes it fun to watch the spurs again thats good enough for me.

The blocks are nuts

He is on his first yr, Still learning No need to panic, 3rd yr you need to make the move for help

What do they think is a “Slow Rebuild” because they talking like the spurs will be rebuilding for 5 years when in reality that’s not the case……….Developing younger talent while also throwing in some quality free agents in the process to raise the competitive level of the season & be mentors for the younger guys including Victor should be the only thing they do……..If they do that they’ll be in the playoffs by 2026, will be in the Play-In tournament next season to……….. the last time a team tried to rush a rebuild was Dallas with Luka & now they’ve been in a constant tornado for the last 5 years

By the end of his contract, so in 3 years the Spurs better have a contending roster built around him. This kid is extremely smart, he will not wait around for an organization like Damian lillard did. He will not waste his prime for a team that didnt take the time they had with him seriously. He will walk if the spurs do not build quickly

I like the Holgrem Chef for ROTY Espn bet liked when everyone put moneyz/loots for Wemby to win roty are gettin a bit nervous-a-roni

They should draft Zach edey and put em both together starting wemby can be power forward

He's next up 💯

The spurs are the best developmental team ever. I wish all big time players could just go to the spurs their first 4 years almost like going to the military is a requirement in some countries. Can you imagine guys like kobe, bron, carmelo anthony, luka, steph and others spending their first 4 years in spurs culture? My goodness. These guys not only got a unicorn but we are fortunate enough to see him be able to develop in the spurs culture AND still have pop there for at least this year.

1:34 that one friend that gets the joke😂

I love Zach Lowe 😂 1:40

He’s ready to win now. He has enough basketball experience to lead the Spurs to go deep in the playoffs.

yea I like the Suns, but I watch all of Wembys highlights, I would love to see Wemby be strong like Wilt

Would strongly consider making a deal for Melo Ball. And perhaps, p/u James Wiseman to develop as the center. I think he can still develop and be more than serviceable along side Wemby.

Windhorst with the slight shot at Skip 😂

I’m sure the Spurs front office fully understands where they stand with Vic and the team. They are historically a risk-averse franchise, they won’t go all-in on a big move that could go either way. They will look to make solid incremental improvements through the offseason within their ability to do so. They may make a bigger free-agency move when they believe they have the team foundations to support it and it translates into winning and contention. This offseason is probably not the time though. Vic has probably been better than they expected in season one, but he’s still very unpolished and green in a many areas of the game and is in his early stages of development. It makes sense to continue to focus on his individual growth and define what his game will ultimately ideally look like, because that will help determine who best to place around him. They have a young core of high character players, there’s a lot to be said for culture and camaraderie. Vic may get sick of losing, but he may also value his teammates as friends. The Spurs know all of this and more. Trust they will play this the best they know how.

As a Spurs fan i would only do this for Trae or someone else of elite calibre like that and make a big trade. If not i dont mind waiting another year and maybe getting some good players in 2025 from the draft plus with FAs

I hope Oceangate builds a new Titan and this panel goes deep underwater and tests it.

He's must-see for me. Already. Just 19 and this good.

I’ll tell Wemby be patient. You might loose two more years, but as long as your in your prime you’ll never loose again.let’s do it the right way.

Clearly all of the potential to be the franchise. The Sprurs have a responsibility to the sport & the fans to make all of the best moves.

We might have a season where the DPOY will be on a 2nd-team ALL defense like what happened with Roberson, Mutombo, Gasol, and Chandler.

Draft… C Love perfect setup 😂😉

I cut the video when she starts talking

I think a compromise between two views points is most reasonable for spurs. All the media bozos saying they need to DO IT NOW, would be knee gut reaction to move ton of assets this offseason. Look at what happened to mavericks though. You take big swings early and it doesn’t work out, you cap yourself and put a ceiling I think they can draft well this offseason, add a shooter/wing defender in free agency or whatever and just try to win next year. I think in year 3 they can make a big move if right player arises. Moving quickly but within reason and if Wemby still wants be with team, he would find acceptable. Trae young is interesting though since spurs hold all those hawks pics

1:34 Zach Lowe laugh 😂😂😂

That's what they said about David Robinson and Tim Duncan Victor is a lifetime Spurs GO SPURS GO WE gunna take our Texas time doing it

Wemby is a Beast on that Court 💪🏾

Windy your hand movement is killin me 😅

They're treating Wemby's competitive nature as if he's demanding the Spurs to make win-now moves. Spurs only needs to make right timely moves. No need to rush. Built the next Spurs dynasty organically.

Matter of time. Trust the process. Pop knows what is doing. I hope. High hope ! 🏀🇫🇷😲

It's Brian Windy who's in the right here: Spurs need to go slow at least until the 2025 Draft. 2024 Draft is too uncertain at the top, and the NBA is too good in its better half to allow this Spurs team to make a strong run for the next years to come. Instead of trading or signing free-agents for a late playoffs spot, the Spurs should suck next year too and try to get a potential superstar in Cooper Flagg or Ace Bailey. If they draft their other starters in this year's Draft, they'll be set for the next decade. Imagine, they get Sarr and Dillingham this year, then Flagg the next one, that would give them the following starting lineup in 2025-26: Dillingham-Vassell-Flagg-Sarr-Wembanyama. Much like the Thunder, you could reach the top of your conference from day 1 with such talents.

Legendary Cold Pizza reference 😂

if the spurs dont do anything quickly, i can see wemby not sigining the extension contract

No question about it. We are seeing the player who is in the process of redefining what being the GOAT means.

Nobody has had shot blocking at this level since the early 90's. Wemby is the real deal and a matchup number. I think many guys will want to play with Wemby in free agency.

It’s also important that the spurs shouldn’t panic

Perk gettin better on TV

What is Perkins saying? The Spurs have been on the clock so many times with David Robinson, DUNCAN, Parker, Ginobili and Kawhi. They have delivered almost every time. Their only “failure” was Kawhi’s situation. They will delivered doing the right moves like they always do.

I really enjoy watching this young man play and he will only get better with time, but c'mon people!! Have we forgotten just how GREAT Kareem Abdul Jabbar was and how heralded he was? If they re-phrased it with "The Greatest Prospect for this generation" then it would hit differently.

The last player we saw this kind of insane competitiveness was Kobe, another European. Why the US athlete are all friends.

6:00 Woj talking about Wembys' aura is crazy lmao

Spurs need to go after Cooper Flagg and some decent role players and a pair of vets. That'd be a very entertaining team to watch.

Finally no victor wembanyana misspelled names

LOL. Perk... Spurs y'all on the clock for the first time in your life. It's true we need to start ramping it up on getting pieces. Mr. Louis Vuitton Wemby is the Market he is the Guy. They Need a scoring point Trae Young and shooter to start. Well See. Go Spurs Go

I would bet that the Spurs and Pops have told the players, "Just go out and play, get your legs. We will lose, but, we'll get used to playing with another." I believe that is why they show up for big games and kind of coast for others.

Young is going to be a Spur. Those two could really help eachother out

Maybe for an impatient media, but no, the Spurs have a long term plan. They might have two first overall picks in a row. If they hit on the right player in the next draft and bring in some talent around them in a couple years, this will be a juggernaut of a team for the next 10+ years.

Spurs should get wemby, Trae young

leave it to espn hosts to decide whether spurs should get better quickly right now and rush it. they just want to talk about wemby more which is why they are pressuring the spurs to surround him with better players already. he's 19, they are a young team that could exponentially get better in the next 3 years. let them get high in the draft and build long term. that's how dynasties are made.

Imagine if the Spurs somehow manages to draft Zach Edey, that's like David robinson - Tim Duncan all over again, except 5 inches taller

Wemby should go to the Knicks or Lakers. Make top tier free agents come to and stay around him, then start his legacy run.

I’m a pelicans fan but just being a basketball you gotta respect this kids talent I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up being one of the top 5 greatest players of all time by the time his career ends

Isnt this exactly what the Pelicans did with Anthony Davis that everyone clowns them for? They saw how talented he was young and traded assets to get him established veteran help right away and it backfired because that help was injury prone. Its crazy how people just pretend we dont remember this stuff.
