Speaker 2: Basketball fans, San Antonio Spurs fans, Welcome to this edition
Speaker 2: of the San Antonio Spurs Weekly podcast.
Speaker 1: When's Your Boy?
Speaker 3: A fan of the Black and Silver for over forty years,
Speaker 3: he knows this team. Also a heck of a YMCA
Speaker 3: basketball coach, thank you very much, former stand up comedian,
Speaker 3: and the list goes on and on. He will even
Speaker 3: die for a ball on the floor and bust a
Speaker 3: rib in a YMCA league.
Speaker 1: Hey dude, come on, now, I had to do it.
Speaker 1: Here is your mister hustle, your mister three point shooter,
Speaker 1: our very own KD. Here he is. I kind of
Speaker 1: like the intro with the exception I'm gonna be honest
Speaker 1: with you with a diving on the floor, bruised rib
Speaker 1: in the rec league. Yeah. If some of you guys
Speaker 1: hear a little shortness of breath from me today, I
Speaker 1: do apologize. Yes, we had a game last night. We've
Speaker 1: been playing in a rec league and even at forty
Speaker 1: nine years old, your boy is moving up and down
Speaker 1: the floor like a gazelle. I would maybe say a gazelle.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say gazelle, maybe a wounded deer, but man,
Speaker 1: am I getting it done? Guys, welcome to another episode
Speaker 1: of the San Antonio Spurs Weekly Podcast. And we're a
Speaker 1: different podcast, aren't we. If you've been joining us, we
Speaker 1: like to have a lot of fun. We poke fun
Speaker 1: at ourselves, we poke fun at the world. We poke
Speaker 1: fun at the WNBA, which trust me, that's coming up
Speaker 1: in just a little bit on the show. But we're
Speaker 1: gonna talk a little bit about Chris Paul today. We'll
Speaker 1: talk about the San Antonio Spurs rising star out of
Speaker 1: the Summer League. We'll talk about the Summer League itself,
Speaker 1: and a congratulations to the Charlotte Hornets and Conk Nipple
Speaker 1: picking up the MVP of the Summer League. There's a
Speaker 1: guy we all thought we're gonna come to San Antonio,
Speaker 1: didn't we. Man, this kid is having a heck of
Speaker 1: a run right now. Everybody's talking about Cooper Flag and
Speaker 1: Dylan Harper. This kid could make a run for Rookie
Speaker 1: of the Year if he gets enough touches. I said it.
Speaker 1: I said it right here on the show. First. Conk
Speaker 1: Nipple could surprise a lot of people. And when you
Speaker 1: go to play Charlotte and you have somebody like LaMelo Ball,
Speaker 1: at point that can get you to ball in open areas.
Speaker 1: This is a very good thing for Charlotte Hornets fans
Speaker 1: and also Conk Nipple, good young core down there. We'll
Speaker 1: talk more about them, believe it or not, in the
Speaker 1: off season when we do our off season report talking
Speaker 1: about every team across the league. But we're are right
Speaker 1: here today talking about our very own San Antonio Spurs.
Speaker 1: Lots to get to in this episode, and we will
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about the WNBA, the WNBA All
Speaker 1: Star Game. Don't worry, we're not going into stats and
Speaker 1: all that. But they're going to have their very own
Speaker 1: dedicated show next week. Yes, yes, we are going to
Speaker 1: have the roast of the WNBA. And don't worry, some
Speaker 1: of you social media darlings out there who report on
Speaker 1: the WNBA now and watch WNBA games just to get clicks,
Speaker 1: trust me, you're going to be thrown in that roast
Speaker 1: as well. No one is safe, all right, just like
Speaker 1: our very own Spurs podcasters and our Spurs video casters.
Speaker 1: Nobody's ever safe because it's all about having a little
Speaker 1: bit of fun, discussing the NBA, WNBA, some basketball knowledge,
Speaker 1: and of course our San Antonio Spurs and speaking of
Speaker 1: our very own San Antonio Spurs. Coming up in today's report,
Speaker 1: we'll talk a little bit about Chris Paul where he's headed,
Speaker 1: and also we will talk about that summer league like
Speaker 1: we spoke of. But there's one guy that's not getting
Speaker 1: any play right now and we're forgetting about him on
Speaker 1: the Spurs, and we're gonna find out about this guy.
Speaker 1: What does say, what does the Fox say? What does
Speaker 1: Deer and Fox say?
Speaker 3: What the fuck thing?
Speaker 1: Hopefully not that during contract talks, I'll be honest with you.
Speaker 1: Hopefully not that. We're gonna talk a little bit about
Speaker 1: Deer and Fox and how he's the key to this
Speaker 1: team this year. However, there are sources and reports out
Speaker 1: there saying that the San Antonio Spurs may hold on
Speaker 1: to him till the trade deadline and possibly trade him.
Speaker 1: Is this something that could happen here in San Antonio?
Speaker 1: Why would we allow that to happen. We do have
Speaker 1: a young core, but everybody is talking about of course
Speaker 1: Victor Winbinyama, Dylan Harper, Steph Castle, Soleyan Visell. We're talking
Speaker 1: about that young nucleus. But there's something about when you're
Speaker 1: forming chemistry with a team you need that out side source,
Speaker 1: and I believe D Fox is going to be the
Speaker 1: key to the San Antonio Spurs going from a playing
Speaker 1: team to that mid four. I said that, I said it,
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you why. I say it every week
Speaker 1: on the show. Two years ago, nineteen wins, last year
Speaker 1: thirty plus Without those two in the lineup at the
Speaker 1: end of the year, I want that to go into
Speaker 1: your brain. Victor and Fox in the same lineup for
Speaker 1: forty games, be ready because we could pick up another
Speaker 1: fifteen wins right there. That's forty five wins. We're in
Speaker 1: the mix when it's in the West, and that's me
Speaker 1: being humble. That's me being humble Spurs fans. So we'll
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about D Fox, but we also
Speaker 1: want to talk a little bit about a man that
Speaker 1: is now leaving San Antonio.
Speaker 3: How do.
Speaker 1: How do we say goodbye the ones from last year?
Speaker 1: It started with the likes of Trey Jones, Zach Collins,
Speaker 1: Mamu Kalavas Schnefinish. I know how to say his name though, people, Okay,
Speaker 1: Mamu Kelevisich. It hurts me because it took me two
Speaker 1: seasons to lurk his name and he's leaving us, and
Speaker 1: now Chris Paul, Chris Paul is the latest San Antonio
Speaker 1: Spur to leave the River City. Chris Paul, we applaud you,
Speaker 1: thank you for what you've done, because your impact for
Speaker 1: one year will be shown for years to come, especially
Speaker 1: for what you've done behind the scenes, in front of
Speaker 1: the scenes, turning these young San Antonio Spurs from boys
Speaker 1: to men. I truly believe that, not even just the
Speaker 1: knowledge that you brought on the court, but off the court.
Speaker 1: A lot of people don't realize that Chris Paul sewed
Speaker 1: into Castle a lot last year. What do you think
Speaker 1: Castle's going to do with Dylan Harper? Dylan Harper continues
Speaker 1: to be open minded, wanting to play here in San Antonio.
Speaker 1: The future of this team is so bright, and Chris
Speaker 1: Paul is heading on and over to his team that
Speaker 1: he came from. Chris Paul is going back to Kelly, Kelly,
Speaker 1: Kelly going back to Kelly. Yeah, we kind of thought so.
Speaker 1: Chris Paul heading back to the Los Angeles Clippers. A
Speaker 1: lot of people were talking about the Lakers possibly, but
Speaker 1: they don't know what's going on with Lebron now. And please,
Speaker 1: can we Shut up the rumors, especially the guy on
Speaker 1: ESPN that looks like Dracula that's always saying, oh, well,
Speaker 1: I got a trade scenario for you, and this also
Speaker 1: involves san Antonio Spurs, Steph Curry and Lebron James could
Speaker 1: be coming to than Antonio. Cut the crap, shut up.
Speaker 1: If we didn't go after Giannis hard and give up
Speaker 1: half this team, what do you think we'd have to
Speaker 1: do for those two And we wouldn't want them here.
Speaker 1: Not that we're saying we don't love you too. All right,
Speaker 1: you're two of the greatest of all time. We'll give
Speaker 1: you that. But when you're developing a young core, young nucleus,
Speaker 1: do you want to win right now or do you
Speaker 1: want to win for years to come, especially in a
Speaker 1: West that's very young with OKC and Houston. Wake up, people,
Speaker 1: stop the stupid rumors. And it's always that moron on
Speaker 1: ESPN constantly, Well, I have sources, and I have a
Speaker 1: trade proposal for you. Yeah, that's because you play too
Speaker 1: much two K Like half of the people on social media. Oh,
Speaker 1: I've got a great trade proposal, but we're gonna give
Speaker 1: up twelve guys for this one. Why don't you just
Speaker 1: go ahead and trade Wemby while you're at it. Why
Speaker 1: don't you just do that stupid allegation. Sorry, I had
Speaker 1: to get that out of my system here on the
Speaker 1: show today. But in perfect honesty, Chris Paul goes to
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Clippers, and this is great for him.
Speaker 1: He gets to go back home finish out his career
Speaker 1: where he kind of started early in his career too.
Speaker 1: You know, could be Lob City three point zero now
Speaker 1: over there, and this is a good opportunity for him
Speaker 1: to make a run in the playoffs his final year.
Speaker 1: The thing that scares me the most Clipper fans if
Speaker 1: there's any of y'all out there, because I've never seen
Speaker 1: you wear a Clippers jersey other than a bow Kimball jersey.
Speaker 1: And I said, Bo Kimball, that makes me more of
Speaker 1: a Clipper fan than you. A lot of you young
Speaker 1: guys are like Bo. Who let me go google that
Speaker 1: chat GPT. Who is bull a Kimball? Who is that?
Speaker 1: Who is that? I told you we roast everybody on
Speaker 1: this show. I'm roasting myself that I'm that old that
Speaker 1: I know Bo Kimball. All right. The only reason I
Speaker 1: know Bo Kimball is a simple fact. As I was
Speaker 1: on Maccari the other day looking at basketball cards and
Speaker 1: I saw the nineteen ninety hoop set and had the
Speaker 1: top ten picks, and man, what an atrocious draft that was?
Speaker 1: Right other than Gary Payton, probably Gary Payton was number two.
Speaker 1: Dereck Coleman was number one, had a decent career but
Speaker 1: didn't pan out the way that he should. Bo Kimball
Speaker 1: was like four Linel Simmons from the Sacramento Kings. Talk
Speaker 1: about guys you thought that were going to be stars
Speaker 1: and studs that just fizzled out. The nineteen ninety draft
Speaker 1: was definitely that. Other than I think GP, you know,
Speaker 1: he's definitely Hall of Famer, top one hundred all time.
Speaker 1: People don't talk about Gary Payton much, especially for his defense.
Speaker 1: Now we move on, though, to Chris Paul and the
Speaker 1: Clippers real quick. I think they'll make a deep run.
Speaker 1: I think will be kind of contending with them throughout
Speaker 1: the years. Spurs fans in that four to six range,
Speaker 1: San Antonio stays healthy. I believe we can be as
Speaker 1: high as four as low as eight. Now that's not bad, right.
Speaker 1: A lot of people are saying, oh, they're only going
Speaker 1: to make the play in the West is tougher than
Speaker 1: people think. I think a lot of teams did a
Speaker 1: lot of too many trades this year, and it's going
Speaker 1: to take time for that camaraderie to build. And guess what,
Speaker 1: there's two teams at already have camaraderie, San Antonio and Oka.
Speaker 1: See I'm putting that out on the table. Camaraderie and
Speaker 1: togetherness goes a long way in the NBA. Luca's still
Speaker 1: trying to figure it out. Is this his team? Is
Speaker 1: Lebron coming or going? What is going on? Rumor is
Speaker 1: Lebron may go to Dallas now back with Kyrie in
Speaker 1: the brow and to help Cooper flag And it's like,
Speaker 1: you know what if the GM of Dallas did that,
Speaker 1: there is going to be anarchy in Dallas. Okay, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be worse than you, Dallas Cowboy fans saying we're
Speaker 1: gonna win the Super Bowl every year and don't it's
Speaker 1: gonna be horrible. Can you imagine if Lebron comes there
Speaker 1: and y'all are horrible again and the Cowboys have a
Speaker 1: bad season. Man, I would not want to live in Dallas, Man,
Speaker 1: I would not want to live in Dallas. Sorry, Dallas fans.
Speaker 1: I had to throw that at you too. But Chris
Speaker 1: Paul going back to the Clippers, I think is a
Speaker 1: good thing. This gives the Clippers a big opportunity to
Speaker 1: make a push in the playoffs. Kawhi Leonard. You also
Speaker 1: still have James Harden their barring injury. We'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: But let's talk a little bit about the NBA Summer League.
Speaker 1: Man the San Antonio Spurs. One of their final scores
Speaker 1: at July nineteenth, he ended up beating the Pistons ninety
Speaker 1: six eighty four. They had a really good summer league.
Speaker 1: But there's a guy that's really really starting to shine
Speaker 1: for the San Antonio Spurs, and we're going to talk
Speaker 1: about him in just a moment as well. But the
Speaker 1: Summer League champs does go to Conka Nipple and the
Speaker 1: Charlotte Hornets. Another young team to really watch out for
Speaker 1: in the NBA in the next couple of years to come.
Speaker 1: So let's take a look at summer league action with
Speaker 1: the San Antonio Spurs. Can we get a little summertime music?
Speaker 1: What is this? We couldn't afford? Like the original summertime song?
Speaker 1: What who is Baby? Rasta? Can we turn this up
Speaker 1: if you that is vich This is awful that you're
Speaker 1: looking at me like we don't have the funds to
Speaker 1: afford copyright. Is that what it is? Oh my god?
Speaker 1: In this summertime, the San Antonio Spurs, of course, in
Speaker 1: summer league action. What are we doing on this show today?
Speaker 1: To be honest with you, Let's have some fun, right,
Speaker 1: Summer league action for the San Antonio Spurs didn't look
Speaker 1: too bad. Let's be honest. We're gonna go over a
Speaker 1: few of the guys to look out for for the
Speaker 1: Spurs this year. What should the Spurs do? Now? This
Speaker 1: is the whole thing of the summer League. There's certain
Speaker 1: surprises that come out of this. Can we use this
Speaker 1: guy here? Can we use this guy here? Can we
Speaker 1: trade this guy? Can we sign and trade? There's so
Speaker 1: much that could happen with this summer league? And you
Speaker 1: know what it shows you that every person you listen to, myself,
Speaker 1: other podcasters, NBA analsts, Yes, I call you analists. It
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what they know because it's out the window.
Speaker 1: It's about a player getting on that floor and playing.
Speaker 1: I coach players all the time. There's certain players, certain
Speaker 1: weeks you expect them to do more than others, and
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, somebody is
Speaker 1: doing something miraculous and you're like, dude, I gotta get
Speaker 1: that guy some pt. I got to get him some
Speaker 1: play in time, because he's playing very, very well. And
Speaker 1: I think that's what my team thinks about me. They're like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, this guy's starting to play well. Let's
Speaker 1: get him out there. I'm like, dude, I'm forty nine,
Speaker 1: all right. I need a break. I need some kterade,
Speaker 1: I need a steak, I need something on the sidelines.
Speaker 1: All right. But let's get to the Spurs action. Twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five twenty twenty six San Antonio Spurs Summer League
Speaker 1: Get Stats, brought to you in part by Well the
Speaker 1: San Antonio Spurs Weekly Podcast with your Boy KD and
Speaker 1: also chaking a look at Basketball dot realm dot com.
Speaker 1: That's what we're taking a look at. And man, let's
Speaker 1: start off with the man of the hour everybody's been
Speaker 1: talking about all summer league long, and it's Dylan Harper.
Speaker 1: Dylan Harper only played two games, and this is what
Speaker 1: happens when you get a top draft pick. Oh, he
Speaker 1: has a hamstring. Oh, his fingernails cracks. Oh, he can't play.
Speaker 1: They're just protecting him, guys. When Dylan got in the game,
Speaker 1: he averaged about sixteen points a game and twenty two minutes.
Speaker 1: Field goal percentage thirty five percent. He didn't shoot too
Speaker 1: well from the field. We know he's not a great
Speaker 1: outside shooter. Just yet he shot thirteen percent free throws.
Speaker 1: I mean seventy eight percent. I don't understand how a
Speaker 1: guard can't hit eighty five or above. I said it,
Speaker 1: eighty five or above. I will challenge an NBA guard
Speaker 1: to a free throw contest and I'll probably get eighty percent.
Speaker 1: I'm just putting that out there. Anybody who wants contact
Speaker 1: with me the San Antonio Spurs Weekly Podcast with Katie
Speaker 1: I have made the challenge. I'll do it. I'm going
Speaker 1: up against a semi pro guy next week. I can't
Speaker 1: wait to see how this is gonna work. Though, But
Speaker 1: I said free throw contest, all right, Calm down, Spurs fans.
Speaker 1: Dylan Harper had okay two games. Wasn't spectacular. The two
Speaker 1: guys that we thought would shine this year were Riley
Speaker 1: Minnix and Harrison Ingram. Both of them averaged a eleven
Speaker 1: point three points a game with Riley almost ten points
Speaker 1: a game for harrow Send. Those are the guys the
Speaker 1: Spurs are really looking at. They were in the system
Speaker 1: last year. Those are the guys that will probably get
Speaker 1: a lot of play, I would think. However, there is
Speaker 1: a rising star in the mix. We'll talk about in
Speaker 1: just a second. Riley had a really good three point
Speaker 1: shooting season in the Summer League forty eight percent. I'm
Speaker 1: looking at three point percentages more than anything because we
Speaker 1: need three point shooters. Yes, Riley may have only made
Speaker 1: three buckets and his percentages forty eight percent, but limited time,
Speaker 1: limited action, limited touches. But let's move to the star
Speaker 1: of the Summer League for the Spurs. R MVP David
Speaker 1: Jones Garcia, Can we talk about this guy from a
Speaker 1: lot of you guys out on the podcast world in
Speaker 1: the Spurs Land, you've been talking about him. We needed
Speaker 1: to talk about him as well. This guy has been
Speaker 1: just absolutely phenomenal. He looks so good. You know, he
Speaker 1: reminds me of Spurs fans if you remember the guy
Speaker 1: James Anderson. James Anderson became a star for a few
Speaker 1: years here in San Antonio, one or two years. He
Speaker 1: just looked like he was going to be a bona
Speaker 1: fide NBA stud, but only gave us a couple years
Speaker 1: here in San Antonio. We'll take that. We'll take that.
Speaker 1: But David Jones Garcia, what do the Spurs do now?
Speaker 1: Five games, twenty five minutes a game, twenty two points
Speaker 1: a game. He was shooting fifty three percent from the field,
Speaker 1: fifty three percent from three point range. What do the
Speaker 1: Spurs do with ninety two percent from the free throw line?
Speaker 1: David Jones Garcia DG. We got to give him the
Speaker 1: nickname though, DJG, so we'll re call him DJG. David
Speaker 1: Jones Garcia, don't play me in the free throw contest,
Speaker 1: all right, because you prove to me that somebody can
Speaker 1: hit above eighty five percent? All right? Or Chris Paul
Speaker 1: league leader in free throw percentage, by the way. But
Speaker 1: David Jones Garcia, let's spend a moment on him. David
Speaker 1: Jones Garcia, where does he go next with the Spurs?
Speaker 1: Spurs fans, if you take a look at our roster,
Speaker 1: could we afford maybe one more guy on that roster? Now?
Speaker 1: I thought Riley Minnox would be that dude. I think
Speaker 1: Riley could sign Harrison Ingram, you know, actually disappointed me
Speaker 1: a little bit here in the offseason. But now that
Speaker 1: we have got some big veterans in the mix for
Speaker 1: the Spurs, you could see Harrison Ingram spending another year
Speaker 1: in the G League. You could see maybe a David
Speaker 1: Jones Garcia being called up. A lot of you guys
Speaker 1: have reported I've seen you online on Twitter, on x
Speaker 1: also on TikTok as well, some great reports by the
Speaker 1: Baseline Bums. If you get an opportunity to listen to
Speaker 1: the Baseline Bums, go do listen to them too. A
Speaker 1: lot of guys were saying they'd love to see him
Speaker 1: on a two way contract. I think a two way
Speaker 1: contract would be best as well. I don't disagree with that.
Speaker 1: Get him up here for some scoring, you know, I
Speaker 1: think if he's going to play that way, even if
Speaker 1: he gives us a couple shots a game, can knock
Speaker 1: down a couple shots and grow into that role. That's
Speaker 1: pretty scary. So San Antonio Spurs have got another star
Speaker 1: on their hand here in the Summer League, but they
Speaker 1: also got another problem on their hand, wondering what they're
Speaker 1: gonna do with roster space and I like Jordan McLaughlin
Speaker 1: and a lot of you guys were knocking Jordan saying,
Speaker 1: all they gave him a three million dollar contract, it's
Speaker 1: for veteran leadership. He's been here a few years. He's
Speaker 1: a guy that knows the NBA, knows the system. He
Speaker 1: can give you a few minutes to give a breather
Speaker 1: for a few players, and that's what he's here for.
Speaker 1: I think if you get a young, bona fide stud
Speaker 1: like DJG, what happens is is he wants to outshine everybody.
Speaker 1: He knew he was the star of his team other
Speaker 1: than Dylan Harper. No offense to Riley, no offense to Harrison,
Speaker 1: no offense to Jamior Nelson Junior and others on the bench.
Speaker 1: But he knew he was the star of this team
Speaker 1: in the summer league. So what happens with a star
Speaker 1: they take over? Now? Can he fit into the rest
Speaker 1: of the system, maybe being just a role player that
Speaker 1: could come in and knock down a few shots, play
Speaker 1: a couple series of great defense, because the Spurs are
Speaker 1: gonna be laced with defense this year, and you know
Speaker 1: the coaching staff is going to wonder if he can
Speaker 1: do that as well. But he had a great summer league.
Speaker 1: DJG looked phenomenal and you know what, he was definitely
Speaker 1: our MVP. The future is bright, guys, the future is
Speaker 1: brighton San Antonio. Know if ans are butts, most definitely,
Speaker 1: But we always want to know what's going to happen
Speaker 1: with the players that are already gonna be here. What
Speaker 1: about dearon Fox? Here's a guy I believe that is
Speaker 1: that integral part, that integral piece for the San Antonio Spurs.
Speaker 1: And according to ESPN's Bobby Marks, he expects the Spurs
Speaker 1: to come out to a four year deal two hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty nine million dollar extension this offseason. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: flip that a little bit. This was as a month ago.
Speaker 1: Now that you have some of these younger stars, the
Speaker 1: Spurs have a lot of leverage right now. They can
Speaker 1: go back to Fox and say, listen, you're worth what
Speaker 1: you want, But listen, we have ABC and D and
Speaker 1: we can go other multiple ways. Would you take a
Speaker 1: three year, one hundred and fifty million dollar extension? Would
Speaker 1: you take a four year two hundred million dollar extension?
Speaker 1: You could see the Spurs try to low ball Deer
Speaker 1: and Fox here if Tieren rarely wants to be in
Speaker 1: San Antonio, and there's already rumors when he just got
Speaker 1: traded here. His wife doesn't like San Antonio. I'm not
Speaker 1: making that up. She wasn't happy about the move. And
Speaker 1: it's funny because she's originally from this area. But sometimes
Speaker 1: people here in the city move out come back like
Speaker 1: your boy here loves the city, but there's also people
Speaker 1: that are like I didn't like the city to begin with.
Speaker 1: That's why we moved out. Maybe it's growing on her.
Speaker 1: I think Dieron fits the Spur system perfectly and he
Speaker 1: has something to prove. He has something to prove. A
Speaker 1: lot of people were saying, oh, Spurs fans were disappointed
Speaker 1: in his performance. He was her all year. He got
Speaker 1: hurt in the offseason last year with that hand injury,
Speaker 1: and he played the way he did. But it was
Speaker 1: okay to have an aging twenty year veteran Chris Paul
Speaker 1: with a messed up hand on the floor. For you guys,
Speaker 1: wake the up. De year in Fox is exactly what
Speaker 1: we got. We knew we were getting damaged goods. The
Speaker 1: Spurs knew what was gonna happen, and they're banking on
Speaker 1: that he's gonna have a great season. When a player
Speaker 1: has a major injury and still playing well and they're
Speaker 1: gonna come back the next year and have a lot
Speaker 1: to prove. These Spurs have a lot to prove. Wenby
Speaker 1: was hurt, Fox was hurt. Vassell wants to prove to
Speaker 1: all y'all that he still got it. I'm tired of
Speaker 1: everybody talking about dv I've said a few times he
Speaker 1: was inconsistent last year, off and on, off and on.
Speaker 1: He had a month or two man he was draining
Speaker 1: him from three point range. But you got to remember
Speaker 1: when players go in and out of the lineups, sometimes
Speaker 1: that affects that other player's performance. We forget about the
Speaker 1: integral parts of a team. You think it's individuality, especially
Speaker 1: you young players out there, Oh I can do it
Speaker 1: my skill and drop forty. No you can't. It's your
Speaker 1: players around you moving telling you to do this, do that, Hey,
Speaker 1: go this way, go that way. Chemistry, camaraderie goes a
Speaker 1: long way. So Hand's been in the gym, Castle's been
Speaker 1: in a gym. Seen a lot of videos all over
Speaker 1: for the Spurs, and they look like they're healthy, and
Speaker 1: that's scary. Keldon's put on more muscle without looking like
Speaker 1: he put on more muscle. Wemby has more muscle, so
Speaker 1: hand looks good from the outside. The Spurs are banking
Speaker 1: on this core, and you guys should too. Stop being
Speaker 1: spoil old title town brats. Listen. I'm in that category two.
Speaker 1: But I also know that it's a process, and we've
Speaker 1: been saying that for two years here on the show
Speaker 1: and with Deer and Fox. According to Yahoo Sports and
Speaker 1: Bobby Marks at ESPN, Fox is eligible to agree to
Speaker 1: an extension after the finals concluded. He could have asked
Speaker 1: after the OKC win, but is restricted to the amount
Speaker 1: of years and total value. Marx wrote, the three year,
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty million dollar extension increases to four
Speaker 1: years to twenty nine starting on August third. So we've
Speaker 1: got a month, guys, We got a month to really
Speaker 1: see what the Spurs are going to do. Can the
Speaker 1: Spurs maybe give him a three million, one hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty million dollar extension, kind of go halfway, see where
Speaker 1: he is in three years, or do you go the
Speaker 1: full four years and short him on the money four
Speaker 1: years to twenty maybe four years two fifteen. It's going
Speaker 1: to be interesting to see but the Spurs have a
Speaker 1: promising future with Fox, Victor winmin Yama leading the way
Speaker 1: in all this young integral parts here in San Antonio.
Speaker 1: But what does the Fox say? The Fox says he
Speaker 1: wants to stay in San Antonio. He loves San Antonio
Speaker 1: and he really would like to play to a contender.
Speaker 1: He loves playing with Victor. He wants to be here
Speaker 1: with Victor. He wants to be here with Castle. He
Speaker 1: said that when you've got a guy that's that determined,
Speaker 1: pay the man, as they would say in Goodfellas, f
Speaker 1: you pay me, FU pay me, And I think we
Speaker 1: should because he's going to be that veteran leader we
Speaker 1: need as well, along with the two big men we
Speaker 1: picked up here in the offseason, which are going to
Speaker 1: be very integral parts for the San Antonio Spurs and
Speaker 1: their core. Now, I do want to close this show
Speaker 1: a little bit with what happened in the WNBA this
Speaker 1: past week. Yes, the WNBA All Star Game happened, and
Speaker 1: some of you probably didn't even know what had happened.
Speaker 1: Don't worry, We're not going to go over any stats
Speaker 1: or who scored what. But it was atrocious. I didn't
Speaker 1: even watch the game I do watch clips and highlights ESPN, this,
Speaker 1: that and the other thing, and what you guys post
Speaker 1: on social media. I mean bricks galore. Angel Reese trying
Speaker 1: to shoot three pointers. That is a joke. She can't
Speaker 1: even hit a layup but expects to hit a three pointer.
Speaker 1: It was atrocious. And then what was the most disappointing
Speaker 1: thing about the WNBA is this whole pay us what
Speaker 1: you owe us movement, Pay us what you owe us movement.
Speaker 1: Here's the deal, WNBA players. You don't like what you're doing. Quit?
Speaker 1: Oh wait, you are still under a freaking contract. Why
Speaker 1: didn't you negotiate that the first time you put your
Speaker 1: name on the dotted line. It's because you're greedy to
Speaker 1: begin with, and you already just want to get out there.
Speaker 1: And for namesake, we already see what the women are doing.
Speaker 1: The women are doing w what the WWE women do? Oh?
Speaker 1: What was that, Katie? What did you just say? Fake
Speaker 1: wrestling women are doing what compared to WNBA players. I'm
Speaker 1: going to tell you they're creating storylines right now, and
Speaker 1: all of you are falling for it. All of you
Speaker 1: are falling for it. You're trying to watch the WNBA
Speaker 1: you're trying to see a good product and it's not there.
Speaker 1: It hasn't been there. Are there good players, Yes, are
Speaker 1: there players that can beat me? Probably? But with that
Speaker 1: being said, I don't say a dang thing other than
Speaker 1: just don't watch it. But you try to continue to
Speaker 1: support what they're doing and what they're trying to achieve.
Speaker 1: But don't understand that when there's no ad revenue coming
Speaker 1: in from other companies, guess what they won't get paid
Speaker 1: what they're worth or what they're owed. You're getting paid
Speaker 1: what you owe morons underneath your contract. I don't get it.
Speaker 1: I don't get it. Pay us what you owe us.
Speaker 1: If you sign a three year, twenty five million dollar contract,
Speaker 1: they're paying you what they owe you. That is the
Speaker 1: stupidest line I've ever heard in my life. Pay us
Speaker 1: what you owe us. That's what I'm saying. Okay, pay
Speaker 1: us the rest of the contract and then and then
Speaker 1: we'll play better. Get out of here, Get out of here.
Speaker 1: Y'all are just mad and jealous because there's a woman
Speaker 1: like Caitlin Clark that has now made a name for
Speaker 1: the WNBA. You're mad, then you're turning it into a
Speaker 1: race war We're going to get more into this next
Speaker 1: week as we have a little ten minute fast break
Speaker 1: roast on the WNBA. Some of the stuff that I
Speaker 1: set here today will be mentioned in more detail. But
Speaker 1: I've never understood this pay us what you owe us movement.
Speaker 1: I don't you sign a contract the day you enter
Speaker 1: the league. You can look at that contract and say
Speaker 1: I don't want to only make twenty five million for
Speaker 1: five years. I want fifty million. You have every right
Speaker 1: to negotiate your contract, but you don't. So now you're
Speaker 1: gonna do things that WWE women do. You only go
Speaker 1: to the league for one reason, to get your notoriety,
Speaker 1: and now you're gonna go on. You know, only fans
Speaker 1: take pictures of your feet, and then you're gonna have
Speaker 1: some freaks out there pay for it. End of story.
Speaker 1: That's how you'll get paid. Angel Reaes last year saying
Speaker 1: that her contract couldn't even pay for her apartment and
Speaker 1: light bill, Well, maybe you should manage your money a
Speaker 1: little bit better. Maybe you should learn how to play
Speaker 1: monopoly when you were a kid. Maybe you should have
Speaker 1: learned to put a piggy bank away and learn for savings.
Speaker 1: That's called adulthood. Wake up. I don't get it. I
Speaker 1: don't get it, and they're a sad thing of this.
Speaker 1: There's good players out there. I like watching Sophie Cunningham,
Speaker 1: I like watching Katelyn Clark, but I don't like the
Speaker 1: ones that go out there crying that they want more
Speaker 1: and more. They're a part of this me too movement.
Speaker 1: I should get this me too well. Good thing. You're
Speaker 1: using social media and you're on podcasting. I don't know
Speaker 1: who's listening to your podcast. I don't understand how people
Speaker 1: listen to your podcast because all you do is complain,
Speaker 1: like I'm complaining right now. It was a pathetic display
Speaker 1: to see them do that with the signs and the
Speaker 1: shirts behind the people that were talking when they're being introduced.
Speaker 1: It was pathetic. And guess what when your main entertainer
Speaker 1: is Glo Rilla? Yeah, great product. How'd that work out for?
Speaker 1: Sorry I'm going political here, how'd that work out for
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris when she put Megan the Stallion up there
Speaker 1: when you're trying to get older white women to vote
Speaker 1: for you? Stupid? And yes, I'm saying it, this is
Speaker 1: what the WNBA is doing too. Right now? Do you
Speaker 1: want to be taken seriously, put a better product on
Speaker 1: the floor, Put a better product on the floor. Just
Speaker 1: do it. Go out there and just do it. Play
Speaker 1: your contract out and if you don't like your contract,
Speaker 1: go to another team, go to overseas, start your own league,
Speaker 1: start your own women's Big three league. But no, you
Speaker 1: sit here and continue to cry about you making millions
Speaker 1: of dollars when there's other countries right now that are
Speaker 1: trying to struggle to make ends meet. Pathetic and it
Speaker 1: shows why people overseas have problems with Americans. That it's
Speaker 1: all I have to say about that. And in this
Speaker 1: episode of the San Antonio Spurs, we touched on a
Speaker 1: little everything, didn't we We had some fast breaks to
Speaker 1: the Spurs, a little tribute to our Chris Paul. We
Speaker 1: had our tribute to of course, what does the Fox say?
Speaker 1: Hopefully you enjoyed the show. I know I didn't have
Speaker 1: a lot more to say about the WNBA coming up
Speaker 1: in our fast break episode, so be ready for that
Speaker 1: coming out this week. Make sure you follow us on
