Guys, welcome to another episode 24 00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:37.760 of the San Antonio Spurs Weekly Podcast. And we're a 25 00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:40.040 different podcast, aren't we. If you've been joining us, we 26 00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:41.840 like to have a lot of fun. We poke fun 27 00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:44.079 at ourselves, we poke fun at the world. We poke 28 00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:47.280 fun at the WNBA, which trust me, that's coming up 29 00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:49.400 in just a little bit on the show. But we're 30 00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:52.120 gonna talk a little bit about Chris Paul today. We'll 31 00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:56.280 talk about the San Antonio Spurs rising star out of 32 00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:59.359 the Summer League. We'll talk about the Summer League itself, 33 00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:03.760 and a congratulations to the Charlotte Hornets and Conk Nipple 34 00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:07.760 picking up the MVP of the Summer League. There's a 35 00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:10.400 guy we all thought we're gonna come to San Antonio, 36 00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:13.319 didn't we. Man, this kid is having a heck of 37 00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:16.840 a run right now. Everybody's talking about Cooper Flag and 38 00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:20.240 Dylan Harper. This kid could make a run for Rookie 39 00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:22.439 of the Year if he gets enough touches. I said it. 40 00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:25.400 I said it right here on the show. First. Conk 41 00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:29.199 Nipple could surprise a lot of people. And when you 42 00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:32.000 go to play Charlotte and you have somebody like LaMelo Ball, 43 00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:34.719 at point that can get you to ball in open areas. 44 00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:39.400 This is a very good thing for Charlotte Hornets fans 45 00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:43.280 and also Conk Nipple, good young core down there. We'll 46 00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:45.960 talk more about them, believe it or not, in the 47 00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:48.759 off season when we do our off season report talking 48 00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:51.159 about every team across the league. But we're are right 49 00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:54.719 here today talking about our very own San Antonio Spurs. 50 00:02:55.199 --> 00:03:01.159 Lots to get to in this episode, and we will 51 00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:04.039 talk a little bit about the WNBA, the WNBA All 52 00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:06.319 Star Game. Don't worry, we're not going into stats and 53 00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:08.319 all that. But they're going to have their very own 54 00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:11.919 dedicated show next week. Yes, yes, we are going to 55 00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:15.960 have the roast of the WNBA. And don't worry, some 56 00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:20.639 of you social media darlings out there who report on 57 00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:25.960 the WNBA now and watch WNBA games just to get clicks, 58 00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:28.719 trust me, you're going to be thrown in that roast 59 00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:32.759 as well. No one is safe, all right, just like 60 00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:37.680 our very own Spurs podcasters and our Spurs video casters. 61 00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:40.560 Nobody's ever safe because it's all about having a little 62 00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:45.000 bit of fun, discussing the NBA, WNBA, some basketball knowledge, 63 00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:48.479 and of course our San Antonio Spurs and speaking of 64 00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:51.520 our very own San Antonio Spurs. Coming up in today's report, 65 00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:54.800 we'll talk a little bit about Chris Paul where he's headed, 66 00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:58.039 and also we will talk about that summer league like 67 00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:01.599 we spoke of. But there's one guy that's not getting 68 00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:04.360 any play right now and we're forgetting about him on 69 00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:07.080 the Spurs, and we're gonna find out about this guy. 70 00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:12.759 What does say, what does the Fox say? What does 71 00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:14.080 Deer and Fox say? 72 00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:16.199 What the fuck thing? 73 00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:20.480 Hopefully not that during contract talks, I'll be honest with you. 74 00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:25.360 Hopefully not that. We're gonna talk a little bit about 75 00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:27.680 Deer and Fox and how he's the key to this 76 00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:31.120 team this year. However, there are sources and reports out 77 00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:34.040 there saying that the San Antonio Spurs may hold on 78 00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:37.000 to him till the trade deadline and possibly trade him. 79 00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:40.000 Is this something that could happen here in San Antonio? 80 00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:42.839 Why would we allow that to happen. We do have 81 00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:46.160 a young core, but everybody is talking about of course 82 00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:52.600 Victor Winbinyama, Dylan Harper, Steph Castle, Soleyan Visell. We're talking 83 00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:56.879 about that young nucleus. But there's something about when you're 84 00:04:56.920 --> 00:05:00.800 forming chemistry with a team you need that out side source, 85 00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:04.120 and I believe D Fox is going to be the 86 00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:07.560 key to the San Antonio Spurs going from a playing 87 00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:12.399 team to that mid four. I said that, I said it, 88 00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:15.759 and I'll tell you why. I say it every week 89 00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:19.839 on the show. Two years ago, nineteen wins, last year 90 00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:23.600 thirty plus Without those two in the lineup at the 91 00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:27.560 end of the year, I want that to go into 92 00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:34.360 your brain. Victor and Fox in the same lineup for 93 00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:39.279 forty games, be ready because we could pick up another 94 00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:42.360 fifteen wins right there. That's forty five wins. We're in 95 00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:45.519 the mix when it's in the West, and that's me 96 00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:49.319 being humble. That's me being humble Spurs fans. So we'll 97 00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:51.639 talk a little bit about D Fox, but we also 98 00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:53.920 want to talk a little bit about a man that 99 00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:55.959 is now leaving San Antonio. 100 00:05:58.639 --> 00:05:59.199 How do. 101 00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:05.800 How do we say goodbye the ones from last year? 102 00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:14.319 It started with the likes of Trey Jones, Zach Collins, 103 00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:22.480 Mamu Kalavas Schnefinish. I know how to say his name though, people, Okay, 104 00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:28.680 Mamu Kelevisich. It hurts me because it took me two 105 00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:33.360 seasons to lurk his name and he's leaving us, and 106 00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:39.240 now Chris Paul, Chris Paul is the latest San Antonio 107 00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:47.199 Spur to leave the River City. Chris Paul, we applaud you, 108 00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:50.079 thank you for what you've done, because your impact for 109 00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:53.839 one year will be shown for years to come, especially 110 00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:56.560 for what you've done behind the scenes, in front of 111 00:06:56.560 --> 00:07:00.720 the scenes, turning these young San Antonio Spurs from boys 112 00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:03.759 to men. I truly believe that, not even just the 113 00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:07.120 knowledge that you brought on the court, but off the court. 114 00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:09.920 A lot of people don't realize that Chris Paul sewed 115 00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:13.279 into Castle a lot last year. What do you think 116 00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:17.360 Castle's going to do with Dylan Harper? Dylan Harper continues 117 00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:20.600 to be open minded, wanting to play here in San Antonio. 118 00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:25.839 The future of this team is so bright, and Chris 119 00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:29.720 Paul is heading on and over to his team that 120 00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:34.480 he came from. Chris Paul is going back to Kelly, Kelly, 121 00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:38.920 Kelly going back to Kelly. Yeah, we kind of thought so. 122 00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:42.480 Chris Paul heading back to the Los Angeles Clippers. A 123 00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:45.560 lot of people were talking about the Lakers possibly, but 124 00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:48.639 they don't know what's going on with Lebron now. And please, 125 00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:51.319 can we Shut up the rumors, especially the guy on 126 00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:55.360 ESPN that looks like Dracula that's always saying, oh, well, 127 00:07:55.399 --> 00:07:59.519 I got a trade scenario for you, and this also 128 00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:05.000 involves san Antonio Spurs, Steph Curry and Lebron James could 129 00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:08.959 be coming to than Antonio. Cut the crap, shut up. 130 00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:12.439 If we didn't go after Giannis hard and give up 131 00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:13.959 half this team, what do you think we'd have to 132 00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:16.199 do for those two And we wouldn't want them here. 133 00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:18.639 Not that we're saying we don't love you too. All right, 134 00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:20.759 you're two of the greatest of all time. We'll give 135 00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:24.040 you that. But when you're developing a young core, young nucleus, 136 00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:26.120 do you want to win right now or do you 137 00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:28.600 want to win for years to come, especially in a 138 00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:31.959 West that's very young with OKC and Houston. Wake up, people, 139 00:08:32.759 --> 00:08:36.399 stop the stupid rumors. And it's always that moron on 140 00:08:36.799 --> 00:08:40.399 ESPN constantly, Well, I have sources, and I have a 141 00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:43.159 trade proposal for you. Yeah, that's because you play too 142 00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:46.279 much two K Like half of the people on social media. Oh, 143 00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:48.240 I've got a great trade proposal, but we're gonna give 144 00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:51.159 up twelve guys for this one. Why don't you just 145 00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:53.120 go ahead and trade Wemby while you're at it. Why 146 00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:56.720 don't you just do that stupid allegation. Sorry, I had 147 00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:58.240 to get that out of my system here on the 148 00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:02.039 show today. But in perfect honesty, Chris Paul goes to 149 00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:04.759 the Los Angeles Clippers, and this is great for him. 150 00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:07.840 He gets to go back home finish out his career 151 00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:11.279 where he kind of started early in his career too. 152 00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:14.240 You know, could be Lob City three point zero now 153 00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:16.759 over there, and this is a good opportunity for him 154 00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:19.039 to make a run in the playoffs his final year. 155 00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:22.480 The thing that scares me the most Clipper fans if 156 00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:24.639 there's any of y'all out there, because I've never seen 157 00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:28.320 you wear a Clippers jersey other than a bow Kimball jersey. 158 00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:30.720 And I said, Bo Kimball, that makes me more of 159 00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:32.799 a Clipper fan than you. A lot of you young 160 00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:34.519 guys are like Bo. Who let me go google that 161 00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:38.799 chat GPT. Who is bull a Kimball? Who is that? 162 00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:41.440 Who is that? I told you we roast everybody on 163 00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:44.080 this show. I'm roasting myself that I'm that old that 164 00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:46.679 I know Bo Kimball. All right. The only reason I 165 00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:48.559 know Bo Kimball is a simple fact. As I was 166 00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:51.200 on Maccari the other day looking at basketball cards and 167 00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:54.519 I saw the nineteen ninety hoop set and had the 168 00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:57.080 top ten picks, and man, what an atrocious draft that was? 169 00:09:57.159 --> 00:10:01.240 Right other than Gary Payton, probably Gary Payton was number two. 170 00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:04.279 Dereck Coleman was number one, had a decent career but 171 00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:06.720 didn't pan out the way that he should. Bo Kimball 172 00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:12.200 was like four Linel Simmons from the Sacramento Kings. Talk 173 00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:14.480 about guys you thought that were going to be stars 174 00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:18.600 and studs that just fizzled out. The nineteen ninety draft 175 00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:21.879 was definitely that. Other than I think GP, you know, 176 00:10:21.919 --> 00:10:25.519 he's definitely Hall of Famer, top one hundred all time. 177 00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:28.679 People don't talk about Gary Payton much, especially for his defense. 178 00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:30.759 Now we move on, though, to Chris Paul and the 179 00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:33.480 Clippers real quick. I think they'll make a deep run. 180 00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:36.279 I think will be kind of contending with them throughout 181 00:10:36.279 --> 00:10:39.399 the years. Spurs fans in that four to six range, 182 00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:42.200 San Antonio stays healthy. I believe we can be as 183 00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:45.600 high as four as low as eight. Now that's not bad, right. 184 00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:47.519 A lot of people are saying, oh, they're only going 185 00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:49.639 to make the play in the West is tougher than 186 00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:53.799 people think. I think a lot of teams did a 187 00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:56.159 lot of too many trades this year, and it's going 188 00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:58.840 to take time for that camaraderie to build. And guess what, 189 00:10:59.080 --> 00:11:02.840 there's two teams at already have camaraderie, San Antonio and Oka. 190 00:11:02.919 --> 00:11:07.440 See I'm putting that out on the table. Camaraderie and 191 00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:12.120 togetherness goes a long way in the NBA. Luca's still 192 00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:14.240 trying to figure it out. Is this his team? Is 193 00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:18.720 Lebron coming or going? What is going on? Rumor is 194 00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:22.440 Lebron may go to Dallas now back with Kyrie in 195 00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:25.399 the brow and to help Cooper flag And it's like, 196 00:11:27.159 --> 00:11:29.399 you know what if the GM of Dallas did that, 197 00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:33.799 there is going to be anarchy in Dallas. Okay, it's 198 00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:36.360 gonna be worse than you, Dallas Cowboy fans saying we're 199 00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:38.679 gonna win the Super Bowl every year and don't it's 200 00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:42.039 gonna be horrible. Can you imagine if Lebron comes there 201 00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:46.000 and y'all are horrible again and the Cowboys have a 202 00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:49.440 bad season. Man, I would not want to live in Dallas, Man, 203 00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:51.840 I would not want to live in Dallas. Sorry, Dallas fans. 204 00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:54.080 I had to throw that at you too. But Chris 205 00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:55.840 Paul going back to the Clippers, I think is a 206 00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:58.759 good thing. This gives the Clippers a big opportunity to 207 00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:02.360 make a push in the playoffs. Kawhi Leonard. You also 208 00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:06.240 still have James Harden their barring injury. We'll see what happens. 209 00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:09.159 But let's talk a little bit about the NBA Summer League. 210 00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:12.879 Man the San Antonio Spurs. One of their final scores 211 00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:15.600 at July nineteenth, he ended up beating the Pistons ninety 212 00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:19.320 six eighty four. They had a really good summer league. 213 00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:23.120 But there's a guy that's really really starting to shine 214 00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:25.519 for the San Antonio Spurs, and we're going to talk 215 00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:28.240 about him in just a moment as well. But the 216 00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:31.600 Summer League champs does go to Conka Nipple and the 217 00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:34.799 Charlotte Hornets. Another young team to really watch out for 218 00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:37.279 in the NBA in the next couple of years to come. 219 00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:40.240 So let's take a look at summer league action with 220 00:12:40.279 --> 00:12:42.919 the San Antonio Spurs. Can we get a little summertime music? 221 00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:51.320 What is this? We couldn't afford? Like the original summertime song? 222 00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:59.000 What who is Baby? Rasta? Can we turn this up 223 00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:04.799 if you that is vich This is awful that you're 224 00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:06.840 looking at me like we don't have the funds to 225 00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:10.480 afford copyright. Is that what it is? Oh my god? 226 00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:14.600 In this summertime, the San Antonio Spurs, of course, in 227 00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:17.639 summer league action. What are we doing on this show today? 228 00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:20.039 To be honest with you, Let's have some fun, right, 229 00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:23.679 Summer league action for the San Antonio Spurs didn't look 230 00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:25.600 too bad. Let's be honest. We're gonna go over a 231 00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:27.559 few of the guys to look out for for the 232 00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:30.840 Spurs this year. What should the Spurs do? Now? This 233 00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:33.240 is the whole thing of the summer League. There's certain 234 00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:35.720 surprises that come out of this. Can we use this 235 00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:38.440 guy here? Can we use this guy here? Can we 236 00:13:38.759 --> 00:13:41.759 trade this guy? Can we sign and trade? There's so 237 00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:45.080 much that could happen with this summer league? And you 238 00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:49.200 know what it shows you that every person you listen to, myself, 239 00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:55.000 other podcasters, NBA analsts, Yes, I call you analists. It 240 00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:58.120 doesn't matter what they know because it's out the window. 241 00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:00.879 It's about a player getting on that floor and playing. 242 00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:05.200 I coach players all the time. There's certain players, certain 243 00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:07.399 weeks you expect them to do more than others, and 244 00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:09.240 then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, somebody is 245 00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:12.080 doing something miraculous and you're like, dude, I gotta get 246 00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:14.000 that guy some pt. I got to get him some 247 00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:17.320 play in time, because he's playing very, very well. And 248 00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:19.559 I think that's what my team thinks about me. They're like, 249 00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:21.600 oh my god, this guy's starting to play well. Let's 250 00:14:21.639 --> 00:14:23.360 get him out there. I'm like, dude, I'm forty nine, 251 00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:25.600 all right. I need a break. I need some kterade, 252 00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:27.480 I need a steak, I need something on the sidelines. 253 00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:29.519 All right. But let's get to the Spurs action. Twenty 254 00:14:29.559 --> 00:14:32.360 twenty five twenty twenty six San Antonio Spurs Summer League 255 00:14:32.360 --> 00:14:34.399 Get Stats, brought to you in part by Well the 256 00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:37.360 San Antonio Spurs Weekly Podcast with your Boy KD and 257 00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:41.399 also chaking a look at Basketball dot realm dot com. 258 00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:43.679 That's what we're taking a look at. And man, let's 259 00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:45.960 start off with the man of the hour everybody's been 260 00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:48.879 talking about all summer league long, and it's Dylan Harper. 261 00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:52.440 Dylan Harper only played two games, and this is what 262 00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:55.159 happens when you get a top draft pick. Oh, he 263 00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:58.679 has a hamstring. Oh, his fingernails cracks. Oh, he can't play. 264 00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:02.279 They're just protecting him, guys. When Dylan got in the game, 265 00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:06.000 he averaged about sixteen points a game and twenty two minutes. 266 00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:09.679 Field goal percentage thirty five percent. He didn't shoot too 267 00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:11.879 well from the field. We know he's not a great 268 00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:17.039 outside shooter. Just yet he shot thirteen percent free throws. 269 00:15:17.080 --> 00:15:19.600 I mean seventy eight percent. I don't understand how a 270 00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:23.000 guard can't hit eighty five or above. I said it, 271 00:15:23.720 --> 00:15:26.799 eighty five or above. I will challenge an NBA guard 272 00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:29.799 to a free throw contest and I'll probably get eighty percent. 273 00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:32.799 I'm just putting that out there. Anybody who wants contact 274 00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:35.039 with me the San Antonio Spurs Weekly Podcast with Katie 275 00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:37.879 I have made the challenge. I'll do it. I'm going 276 00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:40.039 up against a semi pro guy next week. I can't 277 00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:41.679 wait to see how this is gonna work. Though, But 278 00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:44.399 I said free throw contest, all right, Calm down, Spurs fans. 279 00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:50.519 Dylan Harper had okay two games. Wasn't spectacular. The two 280 00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:53.240 guys that we thought would shine this year were Riley 281 00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:56.320 Minnix and Harrison Ingram. Both of them averaged a eleven 282 00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:59.240 point three points a game with Riley almost ten points 283 00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:01.360 a game for harrow Send. Those are the guys the 284 00:16:01.399 --> 00:16:03.279 Spurs are really looking at. They were in the system 285 00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:05.440 last year. Those are the guys that will probably get 286 00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:08.480 a lot of play, I would think. However, there is 287 00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:10.360 a rising star in the mix. We'll talk about in 288 00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:14.360 just a second. Riley had a really good three point 289 00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:19.120 shooting season in the Summer League forty eight percent. I'm 290 00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:21.639 looking at three point percentages more than anything because we 291 00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:25.039 need three point shooters. Yes, Riley may have only made 292 00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:29.159 three buckets and his percentages forty eight percent, but limited time, 293 00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:32.960 limited action, limited touches. But let's move to the star 294 00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:37.039 of the Summer League for the Spurs. R MVP David 295 00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:40.080 Jones Garcia, Can we talk about this guy from a 296 00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:42.919 lot of you guys out on the podcast world in 297 00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:45.480 the Spurs Land, you've been talking about him. We needed 298 00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:48.360 to talk about him as well. This guy has been 299 00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:52.919 just absolutely phenomenal. He looks so good. You know, he 300 00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:55.320 reminds me of Spurs fans if you remember the guy 301 00:16:55.440 --> 00:16:59.879 James Anderson. James Anderson became a star for a few 302 00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:02.679 years here in San Antonio, one or two years. He 303 00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:04.960 just looked like he was going to be a bona 304 00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:08.119 fide NBA stud, but only gave us a couple years 305 00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:10.759 here in San Antonio. We'll take that. We'll take that. 306 00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:15.240 But David Jones Garcia, what do the Spurs do now? 307 00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:18.440 Five games, twenty five minutes a game, twenty two points 308 00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:23.160 a game. He was shooting fifty three percent from the field, 309 00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:27.839 fifty three percent from three point range. What do the 310 00:17:27.880 --> 00:17:33.200 Spurs do with ninety two percent from the free throw line? 311 00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:37.559 David Jones Garcia DG. We got to give him the 312 00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:42.680 nickname though, DJG, so we'll re call him DJG. David 313 00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:45.519 Jones Garcia, don't play me in the free throw contest, 314 00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:48.200 all right, because you prove to me that somebody can 315 00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:51.519 hit above eighty five percent? All right? Or Chris Paul 316 00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:54.720 league leader in free throw percentage, by the way. But 317 00:17:55.079 --> 00:17:58.759 David Jones Garcia, let's spend a moment on him. David 318 00:17:58.839 --> 00:18:01.119 Jones Garcia, where does he go next with the Spurs? 319 00:18:01.119 --> 00:18:04.200 Spurs fans, if you take a look at our roster, 320 00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:09.480 could we afford maybe one more guy on that roster? Now? 321 00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:13.000 I thought Riley Minnox would be that dude. I think 322 00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:17.359 Riley could sign Harrison Ingram, you know, actually disappointed me 323 00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:20.680 a little bit here in the offseason. But now that 324 00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:23.880 we have got some big veterans in the mix for 325 00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:26.759 the Spurs, you could see Harrison Ingram spending another year 326 00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:29.680 in the G League. You could see maybe a David 327 00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:32.759 Jones Garcia being called up. A lot of you guys 328 00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:35.640 have reported I've seen you online on Twitter, on x 329 00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:39.359 also on TikTok as well, some great reports by the 330 00:18:39.400 --> 00:18:41.680 Baseline Bums. If you get an opportunity to listen to 331 00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:45.200 the Baseline Bums, go do listen to them too. A 332 00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:46.839 lot of guys were saying they'd love to see him 333 00:18:46.880 --> 00:18:49.599 on a two way contract. I think a two way 334 00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:52.440 contract would be best as well. I don't disagree with that. 335 00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:56.319 Get him up here for some scoring, you know, I 336 00:18:56.359 --> 00:18:59.799 think if he's going to play that way, even if 337 00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:02.119 he gives us a couple shots a game, can knock 338 00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:05.680 down a couple shots and grow into that role. That's 339 00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:10.000 pretty scary. So San Antonio Spurs have got another star 340 00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:12.759 on their hand here in the Summer League, but they 341 00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:15.559 also got another problem on their hand, wondering what they're 342 00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:20.160 gonna do with roster space and I like Jordan McLaughlin 343 00:19:20.200 --> 00:19:23.519 and a lot of you guys were knocking Jordan saying, 344 00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:26.200 all they gave him a three million dollar contract, it's 345 00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:29.880 for veteran leadership. He's been here a few years. He's 346 00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:32.839 a guy that knows the NBA, knows the system. He 347 00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:34.759 can give you a few minutes to give a breather 348 00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:37.279 for a few players, and that's what he's here for. 349 00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:39.799 I think if you get a young, bona fide stud 350 00:19:39.880 --> 00:19:44.000 like DJG, what happens is is he wants to outshine everybody. 351 00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:46.680 He knew he was the star of his team other 352 00:19:46.720 --> 00:19:50.440 than Dylan Harper. No offense to Riley, no offense to Harrison, 353 00:19:50.519 --> 00:19:53.759 no offense to Jamior Nelson Junior and others on the bench. 354 00:19:54.799 --> 00:19:57.039 But he knew he was the star of this team 355 00:19:57.079 --> 00:19:59.160 in the summer league. So what happens with a star 356 00:19:59.279 --> 00:20:05.079 they take over? Now? Can he fit into the rest 357 00:20:05.079 --> 00:20:09.519 of the system, maybe being just a role player that 358 00:20:09.559 --> 00:20:11.480 could come in and knock down a few shots, play 359 00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:14.680 a couple series of great defense, because the Spurs are 360 00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:18.880 gonna be laced with defense this year, and you know 361 00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:20.759 the coaching staff is going to wonder if he can 362 00:20:20.839 --> 00:20:23.319 do that as well. But he had a great summer league. 363 00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:27.079 DJG looked phenomenal and you know what, he was definitely 364 00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:33.880 our MVP. The future is bright, guys, the future is 365 00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:37.279 brighton San Antonio. Know if ans are butts, most definitely, 366 00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:40.039 But we always want to know what's going to happen 367 00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:42.559 with the players that are already gonna be here. What 368 00:20:42.680 --> 00:20:45.839 about dearon Fox? Here's a guy I believe that is 369 00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:49.240 that integral part, that integral piece for the San Antonio Spurs. 370 00:20:49.400 --> 00:20:52.880 And according to ESPN's Bobby Marks, he expects the Spurs 371 00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:55.359 to come out to a four year deal two hundred 372 00:20:55.400 --> 00:20:59.200 and twenty nine million dollar extension this offseason. I'm gonna 373 00:20:59.200 --> 00:21:02.000 flip that a little bit. This was as a month ago. 374 00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:05.000 Now that you have some of these younger stars, the 375 00:21:05.079 --> 00:21:08.079 Spurs have a lot of leverage right now. They can 376 00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:13.039 go back to Fox and say, listen, you're worth what 377 00:21:13.079 --> 00:21:16.039 you want, But listen, we have ABC and D and 378 00:21:16.079 --> 00:21:18.720 we can go other multiple ways. Would you take a 379 00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:22.160 three year, one hundred and fifty million dollar extension? Would 380 00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:25.720 you take a four year two hundred million dollar extension? 381 00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:28.880 You could see the Spurs try to low ball Deer 382 00:21:28.960 --> 00:21:31.960 and Fox here if Tieren rarely wants to be in 383 00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:34.319 San Antonio, and there's already rumors when he just got 384 00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:36.880 traded here. His wife doesn't like San Antonio. I'm not 385 00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:40.519 making that up. She wasn't happy about the move. And 386 00:21:40.599 --> 00:21:43.680 it's funny because she's originally from this area. But sometimes 387 00:21:43.839 --> 00:21:46.519 people here in the city move out come back like 388 00:21:46.599 --> 00:21:49.240 your boy here loves the city, but there's also people 389 00:21:49.279 --> 00:21:51.319 that are like I didn't like the city to begin with. 390 00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:54.599 That's why we moved out. Maybe it's growing on her. 391 00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:58.240 I think Dieron fits the Spur system perfectly and he 392 00:21:58.319 --> 00:22:01.680 has something to prove. He has something to prove. A 393 00:22:01.680 --> 00:22:04.480 lot of people were saying, oh, Spurs fans were disappointed 394 00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:08.519 in his performance. He was her all year. He got 395 00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:12.119 hurt in the offseason last year with that hand injury, 396 00:22:12.359 --> 00:22:15.079 and he played the way he did. But it was 397 00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:18.799 okay to have an aging twenty year veteran Chris Paul 398 00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:21.440 with a messed up hand on the floor. For you guys, 399 00:22:21.839 --> 00:22:27.200 wake the up. De year in Fox is exactly what 400 00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:31.000 we got. We knew we were getting damaged goods. The 401 00:22:31.039 --> 00:22:33.440
