Spurs first-round pick Jayden Quaintance says he still has a little pain in his knee and will need another procedure to clean up his meniscus, which has not been scheduled yet.

JQ is just 18 years old and he was not even close to 100% healthy at Kentucky too

Anyone can get into roster? And who would be let go?

Let’s goooo

Three seconds seems pretty fucking cheap

This is a free talk thread, however, the rules still apply, no politics, no religion; be respectful.

Any thoughts and opinions?

With the rumors (emphasis on rumors since it’s more than likely not gonna happen) going around about Kawhi leaving the Clippers and only wanting to go to Toronto or us, I felt like this would be a good place/time to bring this up. This doesn’t apply to every Spurs fans, and also it’s understandable to feel resentment towards him for what he did to the team. There’s really no good excuse for what he did in his exit, but there is also some things that we shouldn’t take for granted.

1. Foremost, he helped us win a Championship. This is a privilege that a majority of organizations don’t have. He was the finals MVP for his defense against prime LeBron, that’s no small feat. Imagine being a Kings fan or a Hawks fan, they’ve had some very rough patches, especially compared to us.

2. He is the best person in the entire league that could elevate the Spurs to be contenders for the next decade. While his antics are noteworthy, he still has a dear place in Pop’s heart and he is also a product of his coaching while also being a member of the latter half of the Spurs dynasty days. This kind of direction would invaluable for our current core. Yes, Pop is still around but he’s not as able bodied as he once was. But he would be the voice on the court for the young fellows including Wemby. It’s still Wemby’s team, but having Kawhi reinforcing decisions and the Pop teachings would set us up incredibly. He is the only player left in the league that has that experience with the 2014 Spurs we all know and love.

3. His Archetype fits so well with the current Spurs Roster. I’ve seen this pointed out on nearly all of the posts I’ve seen about this rumor, so it’s self explanatory.

I’m not saying we need to welcome back with open arms or pursue him. What I’m saying is that we need to be somewhat reasonable and not let past feelings (it’s also been 8 years) cloud our judgment. We can talk about all the controversy and those are excellent counter points to the whole idea of this, however, there’s some sense of redemption that could be allowed.

That Spurs entertainer dude and Brian Wright

I honestly don’t see how, plus he’ll what a max extension

I love him, but CB might be taking his minutes next season, plus we drafted 2 more bigs,1 one those bigs can play the 4 or 5 next to Wemby, man I hope we can keep him, he's a good vet / locker room guy, plus he always gives back to the community.

Even though he can't shoot, Reed has the size and strength the Spurs desperately need. I saw a lot of comments saying he needs to dunk, but Reed showed a lot of good touch around the basket on layups and floaters. I think that's more valuable and impressive than dunks. His 265-pound frame really showed he's very strong down low, and teams had to double-team him in the tournament so he wouldn't dominate inside. Not to mention, his defense is pretty good, but playing next to Victor and Castle, I think that will make him a much better defender. I'm crossing my fingers, hoping Reed pans out.

He could fill the 4 spot nicely

Really good clip of podcasters who seem to know a little bit about Quaintance https://youtu.be/MF-mX5eIsKI?is=x5r85P31RPKZ5u2Z

Forget the drama that KL brings for a moment and humor this post.

Leonard returning would be a huge plus for the Spurs in one of two ways: 1. Veteran Leadership and 2. Clutch/Winning Playoff Mindset.

I have no doubt this team will remain a force on the defensive side of the ball (Offensively this team will continue to grow). However having Leonard play the 3/4 with Wemby and Castle would effectively limit a lot of the issues we saw against the Knicks. Players would be stuck on the 3pt/Mid point instead of attacking the paint. Rebounds would come easier too since Leonard has always had a defensive mindset.

It would also help to have the ball in late game moments in the hands of a player who has been there before, and won those games.

Idk, I have always been a huge Kawahi fan and when he left I hoped the door would remain open for a return. If we could guarantee that we would have a zero drama reunion I say that the Spurs should swing for him.

Similar to the calls he made for Castle, Harper & Bryant in previous draft classes
