Another regurgitated false narrative is OKC & San Antonio were built similarly through tanking.
OKC missed the playoffs 3 years:
#6 Giddey (traded for Caruso)
#2 Holmgren
#12➡️#10 Wallace (play-in)
Spurs missed the playoffs 6 years:
#11 Vassell
#12 Primo (play-in)
#9 Sochan (play-in)
#1 Wemby
#4 Castle
#2 Harper
WEMBY JUST DROPPED A BAR:
"The lack of experience is a strength of us...because we could do impossible stuff because we don't know it's impossible" 🥶

Stephon Castle was asked about the notion that the Spurs players don’t flop and play ethical hoops.
His response: “I sell calls too sometimes. I mean I can't lie.”

if russ was on the OKC roster, he'd get into carter bryant's face after bulldozing SGA. and chet will be hearing from him all series. our team was just too soft TBH. if we are able to open enough roster spots this summer, bringing russ back is more than just a sentimental move.
wemby being athletic at 7’5” is like the most bourgeoisie thing possible in NBA terms because he was born into biological monopoly and wields physical hegemony over workers
if leftist NBA twitter has any dignity they’d cheer for Brunson cause he’s a metaphor for the proletariat
