This is very interesting for the Spurs...

This is very interesting for the San Antonio Spurs why a six-time All-star should not be a focal point for the San Antonio Spurs this offseason and with the Spurs being so Talented so deep did Brian Wright do too good of a job and maybe hindering our super star from getting as many accolades as Possible individual that is we're gonna discuss it here on Spurs digest with your host Kenan Warner guys I'm really excited to talk to you all about this. I appreciate everyone who was on the live The last time I saw you guys was my last so thank you to everybody who was there on the live It was really fun. We're gonna be doing those more and more often So hope to see you guys there on those but why the Spurs shouldn't target six-time all-star in free agency We're going to discuss that here But first just want to let you know this video is brought to you by prize picks play five get 50 Instantly we've got some picks coming up later Really excited by that use code digest link will be in the pin comment and in the description helps us out a lot We appreciate you guys for that in we've been riding the highs We've been riding the lows together flex plays have been helping out too If you guys have been using those options with us, trust me. I'm with you guys whenever I put a bet I'm betting it to this isn't just for fun. We're doing this together But let's talk about DeMar DeRozan here real quick The Spurs have one roster spot open and have been linked to several players LeBron and obviously we got Tobias Harris So it seems less likely that we're going to be getting LeBron Jonah Kubitschek. I believe it. That's how you pronounce that name I apologize if that's incorrect But he is one that wrote the article talking about DeMar DeRozan DeMar DeRozan being one of the league's best scores Averaging 18 point four points almost on 50% shooting for the Sacramento Kings last season still despite that the second sin in San Antonio then no one's interest Let's take a little look here at DeMar DeRozan's numbers Once they pull up DeMar DeRozan is a player who is pretty special honestly, he is a guy who has been super talented the ability to Shoot get to the mid-range at a high high clip all these numbers don't want to pull up right now But hey, we'll go back to this right here he's been able to do things at a very high clip as you saw eighteen point four points per game shot 50% from the floor and Moving forward when you're talking about his time in San Antonio. He was our distributor for us He actually got up to about seven assists a game roughly So he did more than just to score but on this roster Is that last spot that we have really what we want to use on DeMar DeRozan? Well in the article they've continued to discuss on the other side of the coin Does the Spurs really need a ball dominant offensive focus player the Spurs have made it clear that they take pride in defense DeMar? Doesn't really bring that either while he is one of the best free agents still in the market both player in team would Be better suited if they found a different squad to play for I don't entirely agree with that But our roster might have to change a little bit if we do get DeMar DeRozan because having DeMar DeRozan De'Aaron Fox Stefan Castle Dylan Harper all in the backcourt that's going to be an overly loaded backcourt We know this you guys are very smart obviously as far as fans are very smart we understand how roster construction works That's just an overly loaded backcourt. So if we were to get DeMar then you're looking okay Now we've got to look can we trade off of Fox? Can we get value for Fox if we are to get someone like DeMar DeRozan? And do you feel DeMar DeRozan would be able to up the level of offensive? Capabilities for us late game where we definitely struggled especially in the finals But we saw that throughout the season last year Will he be able to up that to the level to where you'd be comfortable trading De'Aaron Fox and obviously depends on what that De'Aaron Fox trade piece is going to look like is that De'Aaron Fox trade piece going to be someone who is a High level basketball player or is it going to be someone who is a lower level basketball player? Don't know but There is that I want to hear your guys's comments. Do you believe that we should go after DeMar DeRozan? Do you think he fits this roster? We've talked about it a little bit before But the more and more we think about it the more that last roster spot is looming. What could we do with that roster spot? I'm interested to hear what your guys's thoughts are on that Plus now we're gonna go over to something that I find pretty interesting just to be genuinely honest I find really interesting Spurs revamped the depth chart reveals Brian Wright may have done his job too well winning MVP could be an uphill battle for Victor Wim Benyama, so Going on this article was written by Jill Williams and Victor Wim Benyama should be should enter next season of the MVP Favorites Brian Wright's been last two offseason surrounding the alien was a bunch of talent obviously Drafting Stephon Castle drafting Dylan Harper drafting Carter Bryant trading for De'Aaron Fox Bringing in Luke Cornet So we know what the roster construction has been and now this offseason bringing in Tobias Harris Obviously the rookies that we have drafted and which ones are going to pan out which ones are not We'll see as we move forward but adding Tobias Harris obviously helps our championship level and helps our championship window I I believe that at least I think what he adds Rebounding the ball what he can add shooting the ball in being a shot creator from a four position I think really adds to this team, but with that being said That makes it difficult There's a lot of mouths to feed and not in the sense of they have to owe everybody needs this Obviously, we know the Spurs run a little bit of an equal opportunity offense and when that happens Not always featuring the superstar is what happens there Some teams never find one franchise superstar Spurs have found several obviously We know when be the transcendent talent But Stephon Castle star in the making already budding star Dylan Harper superstar in the making I mean De'Aaron Fox obviously a multi-time all-star We know how good he can be obviously last year in the finals wasn't really the greatest look or the playoffs But at the same time we know De'Aaron Fox still has high level capability So with all these players is it going to be possible for Wemby to? Win multiple MVPs to be a three or four time MVP in this league and obviously that's what he wants to be He has talked about being the greatest player to ever live and that's something that he actually strives for. He's not going to Sacrifice that for the team confines, but he understands for him for the team to be as successful as possible He needs to be at MVP level, of course So what I want to do is I want to bring up this real quick This is the last statistics from the 10 last 10 MVPs might be a little bit hard for you guys to see all the numbers there really 31 for Shea 33 for Shea 26 12 and 9 for Jokic 33 and 10 for Embiid so on and so forth for the rest That's the last What that's showing there is essentially this I'll bring into this view. It's a little easier to see. What's that essentially saying is Can you put up? 26 10 maybe 26 12 with three or four blocks and be a part of a 60 plus win team for the San Antonio Spurs Wemby Do you think that that is a possibility for you to do such a thing? I do think that's a possibility for Wemby to do. Oh, it doesn't look like I want to bring up these stats either. That's fine Why do I think though? There we go why do I think it's gonna be something he wants to do because he averaged 25 and 11 with three assists this year and He averaged three blocks a game this year. Victor Wembenyama was already in the MVP conversation arguably the MVP Frontrunner this year obviously Shea won it but you are people had him within that conversation Can he average one more point a game and can the Spurs continue to be just as good? Yes, can he continue to be just as good defensively? Yes I think that when it comes to these type of awards They become a little bit of narrative award too, and we know how good Wemby is we see how he is playing I don't think that just because how good the roster is will hinder him from getting MVPs I actually think it'll do the opposite and it'll hinder someone like Dylan Harper from being able to get to all-nba maybe second team or Stefan Castle to get to all-nba second team because we have so much depth that everybody is playing well and Instead of Castle or Harper or maybe even Carter Bryan on an all-defensive team possibly But that's more you can get that maybe instead of them averaging 22 4 & 6 They're averaging 18 5 & 5, but they're still playing high-level basketball They're still looking like superstars or all-stars or stars in this league Another point that he brought up was obviously we have had a two-time MVP who was in a similar situation names Tim Duncan who Obviously won back-to-back MVPs and oh two and oh three, but Parker obvious. He had obviously Parker He had Ginobili and that made things a little bit more difficult For Tim Duncan to win MVP during that stretch because you have such good players there But at the same time during that stretch he was still in the MVP conversation This is Tim Duncan's numbers and then where his MVP finishes you see right there on the side second first first second fourth eighth and Then when you think about some of those other seasons in the way that he played Tim Duncan was Somebody who was very selfless as we all know so he wasn't going to just oh I have to go get this number or have to go get these numbers and we'll go look for mine To be the best player on the floor he was going to do it defensively as he was the best player in the league defensively for a stretch of time in the mid-2000 early to mid-2000s and He was like, okay. I'm good. We win 50 to 60 games every single year. We're going to get to the playoffs We're gonna win in oh three five seven and we're going to win in 14 obviously one in 99 as well We're gonna go win a bunch of times. I'm good with this I don't need all the MVPs even though you could argue he could have won other MVPs those other years You've got KG on the front half of it AI won the MVP on the back half of it KG won MVP then you go into the Nash years the Dirk the Kobe LeBron and so on and so forth so when be he's gonna have a lot of chances to win MVP and this is showing that you can still be a Multi-time MVP and being a multi-time MVP and being a multi-time champion multi-time finals MVP All NBA complete defensive player of the years You add all of that up you get to that Oh greatest of all time level conversation I know Kareem has six Mike has five Braun has four Jokic has three he can easily get to that Moses Jokic and get to that three level All he's gonna need is three as long as he's really running it defensive player of the year wise and all that such So it's gonna be a really interesting thing on who is going to be hindered by what with Victor when bin Yama? Dylan Harper Stefan Castle Carter Bryan and others with how good this roster is, but again Their MVPs are awards and obviously you want our players to win that it was great to see Kelton win six men of the year obviously Three years now it feels like when we should have won and defensive player of the year year one Absolutely should have won it year two Obviously he was out for a large portion of the season last year wins it but it's great to see you win these award But really what we want to see is that Larry O'Brien. We want to see multiple of those Larry O'Brien. So if He wins only three MVPs or two MVPs when it could be four or five But that is in that's because we are now winning five or six championships rather than winning three or two or whatever Let's get to one first before we start dreaming just a hypothetical of this conversation. Yeah, I'm okay with it But let me know in the comments Do you think that when B's gonna have a hard time winning MVP because of how good this roster is and what the stars look? Like around him. I'm interested because I think it's an interesting conversation to have just he's so good But at the same time if you continue to play him 29 30 minutes to really try to preserve him What what what are the Spurs gonna do? So I'm interested to hear what you guys thoughts are but before Before we get out of this a guys again videos brought to you by prize picks play 5 get 50 Instantly use code digest links in the descriptions WNBA guys get in on why you can the World Cup is over if you guys had Argentina winning I'm very sorry for you Spain played a great game in that but the World Cup is over So now we've got some baseball We got maybe some UFC and we got a lot of WNBA this channel has been covering them covering WNBA when it comes to prize Picks and today we've got a good one Kayla McBride pick them more.
