Monday NBA Madness

there's a lot of great communities out there. As a matter of fact, this episode, we are going to talk about you fans. We continue to talk about the fans and what's going on here in the off season with the trades. There are some big names that we have not talked about we'll talk about in this episode, but we're going to continue to call this off season US fans don't know shith ish, We'll say ISH, We'll say is. This is a family show. This is a family show.

US fans don't know ISH. That includes you guys on YouTube and Twitter and in yours truly as well. It is all pure speculation. But we do it for the fun and the love of our team and the black and silver blood that runs through our veins with the San Antonio Spurs. That's why I do it. I bring you some perspective that I've seen with the teams in the past. I also bring you my comedic flavor from time to time, and you know what, sometimes I'll throw a little bit of what if in there as well.

But I'll be honest with you, a lot of you guys out there on Twitter tend to take a lot of that what if ish and see if it sticks, and a lot of that ish is. Let's just say, you need more fiber in your diet in order for it to stick, all right, And we'll talk a little bit about that coming up in this episode. We're going to touch very lightly on the Yannis aka Patumbo situation. Here in San Antonio. Something tells me that's going to

die out now. It was hot and heavy last week when the Spurs landed the number two and number fourteen picks. We'll talk about why I don't think it'll happen. I'm gonna tell you something that maybe a surprise move come draft day, but not having to do with the Spurs, and if it happens, I want to put speculation out there. Now, let's see if I can take my ish and make

it to stick to the wall as well. We'll give you a scenario if it does happen that could help or hurt the Spurs, or do we stay the course. We're gonna take the Twitter as always pick out some of the favorite things we've seen over the past week or so. Again, keep in mind this show is broadcasted and recorded last week, so it is Monday today. However,

we did pre record this broadcast. We will be talking a little bit of NBA playoffs today on the show, nothing too in depth, but if we do make any predictions and the games have already happened on the next show, feel free to send us a message on Twitter at comedian Katie and just laugh at us. That's perfectly fine as well if we get those wrong, okay, but pretty funny how when we do get things right, nobody says, hey, guess what, Katie, great job, you know, great job, dude,

wait to go, you're really calling it now? You just guys, wait, man, you wait like seething lions to just rip us apart. But I love it. That's the great thing about the Spurs community. And before we get things started here today, a big shout out. We've got some big things happening on the show, starting the end of the summer, going into draft lottery and also going into twenty twenty six as the San Antonio Spurs rise from the phoenix out

Let's get together, let's rant and rave

about all Spurs talk. We also got some major announcements with sponsors coming up on the show over the next couple months. We'll talk more about that as we get going. But let's get into our talks, shall we? Of the day? And you hear it, it is the sound of the police, sound of the bat sets of Spurs. There's a police. You want to know why, because the Spurs are continuing to rob, pillage and plunder the NBA with what's about to come in twenty twenty six and beyond. Can you

feel it, Spurs fans? I can feel it. It all started last week and we're gonna touch very vaguely on what happened last week. Of course, if you do not know, it's because you are not a Spurs fan. And listen, we're not laughing at you. Come on in, sit down, join the club. Okay, there's plenty of plenty of room on this bandwagon. By the way, move over there, Spurs Jesus, give us some room. Come on, come on now, you're Jesus.

Live like Jesus as well. But I want to give a big shout out to you Spurs fans and you Spurs community for contributing to a lot of the news on this show as well. You guys are awesome. But let's talk a little bit about some of that news. Okay. A lot of trade rumors started happening last week. We talked about it on the show with Jannisakopatumbo Hot and heavy. Right, some of you guys are really taking that ish, trying to make it stick to the wall, and let's see,

it's starting to slide down a little bit. A right now, we'll talk a little bit about Yanis and how I don't think it's a good fit. A lot of you guys want to give up so much for Yanis, and Yanis has got plenty of time left in his career. But the rumors out of Milwaukee now is that Yanis Okatumaita does not want to leave the East. So where does that leave the Spurs. Do we go back to just staying the course. Do we take a look at

some other free agents that may be out there. Do we go out there and look at certain trade opportunities. And there's been some interesting names popping back up to come to San Antonio again. And there's some big name Celtic stars we're going to talk about as well that may be interesting in joining the Spurs a little bit later on the show. But it's all things Yanas. This draft is all about Cooper Flagg and Janis Akap Patumbo.

And I want to tell you something. I think something's going to happen in this draft that could be a far far possibility. I'm gonna take my ish as well and see if it sticks for you guys. Here in a minute about the draft, and it doesn't have to pertain to the Spurs, but it does pertain to Yanasaka Patumbo. I don't see him coming to the Spurs. A lot of you guys on the ex community and more have been saying we need to give up so many people

like Devin Vessel, kJ Sohan all at once. Do you realize that a lot of those guys are the heart and soul of the team now. DV is interesting because he does have two years left on his contract. We do got to make room for some of these other big name contracts Fox and Wemby. But what does that do when you bring in another huge star? Well balances out the spreadsheets, so to speak. Right, Devin is an interesting piece to the puzzle for the Spurs. He has

been up and down. We've talked about it. Last season. I thought he would really take a more of the role of the twenty point score and there were some flashes. Man he had that one march Man he was red hot from behind three point range. I still think he can be that guy. And guess what he's into is what next to the last year on his contract. I

believe I don't have it front in me. What do they usually do their last two years of the contract, they blow up because they want the Spurs or another team to sign them for a big contract the rest of their career. Devin sells an interesting piece for the Spurs. So if you were able to deal for Yanna's five draft picks, maybe two stars and a bench player, that's a lot. And I know you're saying, Katie, that's too much. Well, what do you think the Lakers gave up for Luca?

I think Gianna's is a better player than Yuka Luca. Sorry, and I like Luca pretty interesting. With the honest I don't see him coming to san Antonio. The rumors Aaron san Antonio now they want to draft Dylan Harper. We were little upset, I'll be honest with you when we heard that, because I think we still need length. I think Ace Bailey can do that. Started seeing some of the rim percentages that these players can get to the rim at and you guys were right on the money

with Dylan Harper. I kind of invested myself into watching some more Dylan Harper videos and studying him a little bit over the last week. Dylan's a monster. He reminds me of Steph Castle. And can you imagine if you have them on the court at the same time. With Wemby, with Fox, it's gonna be interesting. You can add in a Sohan in the mix. And yes, I'm projecting that Chris Paul will not be here, but this is what

I think the Spurs should do. Pure speculation. By the way, if we signed Dylan Harper, we need to sign Chris Paul again. Look what he did for Steph Castle. His mentoring is ingenious. If he still wants to start, which Chris Paul believes he still can. He only plays about twenty to twenty five minutes anyway, He's not taking away from minutes. Castle will get more minutes. Wemby will be

on the floor. He'll be sporadic. Wemby, I think he'll be anywhere between twenty five to thirty minutes to start, and then we'll see how his health is and then that'll increase. But a healthy Wemby on the floor, with a healthy Fox, the sky is the limit. Here in San Antonio, we're playing with house money. Guys. It's like monopoly.

I don't know if you've ever played Monopoly, but the key is to wipe out your opponent and say you own a lot of pieces on the board, and you're getting ready to go around the corner and you still need Baltic Avenue to complete the whole stretch. And then around the corner where boardwalk is, you offer one thousand dollars for one hundred dollars property, and that person's like, now, I don't want it. What happens to them? They get eaten alive. That's where the spurs are right now. We

don't have to buy in. We can sit there and wait until they eat themselves alive in the market. Because this is going to be a deep draft. This is gonna be a fun draft. A lot of people are projecting that Flag may not even go number one. Now I don't know why. That's not speculation from me, but insiders are saying that Flag may be a bust, and

not in the way of he's gonna be horrible. He's gonna be a great player, he's gonna be an all star, but to be that wemby Zion Lebron category, I mean, Zion's not even Zion and he's coming into his own though. If he stays healthy, Oh, Zion's gonna be nasty next year, Cooper Flag, they don't see him there I think that's just because his run in the tournament was kind of average. We expected him to be above average and be that guy to carry the team in just thirty points a game,

but that didn't happen. Speaking about thirty point games, Dylan Harper put one up against Alabama thirty seven. Any college player that can put up thirty seven points is dynamic. Dylan Harper, son of Ron Harper, NBA legend, has that knowledge man. Spurs know what they doing. They know what they're doing. Spurs fans, Let's see what you guys think you're knowing here on X, let's head to X. I love reading some of y'all's posts. The best one I saw of the week was from at wemby Muse. That's

wemby w emby Muse Muse. It is a parody count as well, and he says, Spurs fan, which pill are you taking? Here's four scenarios, Spurs fans, four scenarios? Which pill are you taking? You can actually at wemby Muse or at Comedian Katie. I would love to see your responses. Here's your first scenario. Take the red pill, stay the course draft, Dylan Harper, keep Fox and Castle, take a wing at number fourteen, take the green pill. This one's interesting.

Trade for Lori marketen. Trade the number two pick Devin Visel and contracts for pick five and marketing, so we would still be in the top five. We can lay maybe Land and this is what he said. I didn't even read it Land con Kinnepple, which that would be big for the Spurs as well, to get marketing and Kinneple. That's the green pill, blue pill, trade Castle Keldon Viassel and the number two pick for Giannis. Get the hell out of here. Get the hell out of here. I'm

not taking the blue pill, yellow pill. All in on the future draft Dylan Harper trade the number fourteen pick for the number nine take Derreck Queen out of Maryland. And I don't like this one. Look to deal Fox eventually. I don't like that one. Keep Fox, Keep Fox. I mean, sign them to a five year deal. Get through the five years and then see where we're at. That's what I would say. Who you picking red pill, green pill, blue pill, yellow pill from wemby muse at x who.

It's tough, right because you want to stay the course. But that Louri marketing trade is very interesting. Isn't it Louri marketing. I think is very underrated in the NBA. I think is under fits the Spurs club. He's that type of player we like. Gianas, I think is too much of a glitz and glam, you know what I mean. San Antonio is not about that. I think Gianis would overshadow the team, overshadow the growth of Wemby. You heard

it from me first. I love Giannas too, But Wemby has still got these veterans and Chris Paul, Harrison Barnes to help teach him the game as well. Plus did you know that here in the offseason he's been working with a kim olajuan A. Keem does private sessions I guess for fifty thousand dollars, and Wemby's taking up those classes. Something to throw in there. The yellow pill is interesting as well, but I would not get rid of Fox, so I'd stick with the red pill. Spurs fans, which

pill are you picking? Great take from Wemby muse on Twitter? So as you can see a lot of big names out there starting to be thrown around. That's because the Spurs have a lot to play with. The latest one I saw includes two big names three actually from the Boston Celtics. If the Boston Celtics lose this series, which it's a big possibility because I'm being honest with you, the game is technically tonight, even though you're listening to this again Monday, this is pre recorded. I picked the

Knicks and six. I said, if Brunson has a huge series thirty points or more, this series is over. I don't think they can stop Brunson. They're going back to New York. I believe New York wins at home. Celtics, I believe are done. They were our pick at the beginning of the year to win the NBA title, to go back to back. Tatum's injury might be a little bit of a concern. So what does that do for the Celtics in the future and possibly the San Antonio Spurs.

How about bringing back Derek White. Nobody's thought about that. What if you trade your picks two and fourteen for Derek White does have a big contract though, one hundred and eleven million. I think through six years, I believe he's the third or fourth highest paid Celtic. It's a lot of money. It's a lot of money, But Derek White world champion, been there big time in the playoffs, and on top of that, he's a leader and has won a gold medal. Derek White's a nice piece if

we can bring him back. Now, the other ones on the team, they were looking at KP Chris bos porzingis to help Wemby. But what I don't like about that is he's always hurt. You know, he's he's hurt twenty twenty five games a year. So for a decent contract, maybe Jalen Brown is the other one. I don't think Jalen with his attitude, fits San Antonio. We tried that once, right Spurs fans remember his name, Dennis Rodman. Yeah, I

don't think that's gonna happen again, something like that. I don't Jalen's a great player, but I just think his attitude, the toughness would be cool. But I don't you know if he fits. You know, I think so Hand and kJ are our toughness. We've seen that through several scraps and scrums from the previous season. I think Jeremy's gonna take that roll on a little bit more.

the off season and we're just getting anxious. We're just getting anxious, aren't we. It's kind of like being a bird at a zoo and they're throwing the food in the water and we're just sitting there flapping waiting for them to throw it. It's going to be an interesting run here in San Antonio in the off season going into twenty twenty six. Now we've talked talked about free agency. We're not going to dwell on that. We say it each and every week. I think if the Spurs stay

the course, stay the course. If I'm playing GM, Katie is GM. Before we close this show, we'll talk a little bit of NBA action, and that's it. If I'm GM, I stay the course. I again, I go with Weimby Muse and draft the red pill, Dylan Harper, keep Fox keyp Hassel, get a big at fourteen, because who knows, maybe somebody like a conk Nipple could drop. Maybe we can trade up for Conkinipple. You know, we can give a piece to our puzzle away and bring in a

young big like him. Might work, or the other possible scenarios spurs fans before I go into my GM move here, what if Dallas trades the number one pick. We've seen this all over ESPN. We've seen a lot of NBA analysis mention this. I mentioned this when I found out Dallas Le's getting the pick. Kyrie Irvin is out next year. Why bring in that youth. Work with the youth you have. It's gonna be a long year for Ad. It's gonna

be a long year for him. But if you brought in somebody like a Yannis, you have Yiannis, you also have Ad then Kyrie in two years, that's a formidaal three man team to try to win a title within the next three four years. Talk about the West being even wilder. You could have Dallas Houston, San Antonio okc oh Man. That'll be dangerous. In the next couple of years. What if they trade the number one pick. What if they do not pick Cooper Flack. What if they draft

someone for their needs? What if they take a Dylan Harper? This could happen. Dylan Harper has been projected to be the number two pick for a very long time. We've seen this happen where the number two pick will oversee somebody. You're like, wow, the number one slipped. Dylan Harper would fit them with Kyrie out get more playing time, interesting piece there. So what does that do for the Spurs? If Cooper Flag drops some of y'all just wet your

shorts out there. I'm gonna be perfectly honest with they had somebody, I'll just crapped your pants. You can smell the stench from over here. What if Cooper Flag comes to San Antonio? I think he'd flourish better here. I think he'd flourish better here. I had a conversation with one of you Houston Rocket fans on Twitter a couple of weeks ago, and you want to deal read Shepherd because Jalen Green and you know you've got a couple other stars there that are ahead of him, and so

Reed's not getting the opportunities Reid with somebody. The Spurs were looking at a shooter. Cooper Flag fits that mold with a lot more skill set than Reid. A shooter. Somebody can put it on the floor, somebody who can rebound.

Spurs fans, would you go after Cooper again? All these big names in San Antonio because we have the assets we have to control in the NBA, We really do us in Oka see okac can make a huge trade and get rid of a lot of their assets, and we stroke We kind of struck up this conversation as well. A guy can see leaving Oka see as Chet Holmgren. He doesn't look like he fits that system anymore. You know, you got Jalen Williams. You also have Sga Harkenstein. He

just don't seem like he fits that mold anymore. So a lot of interesting pieces moving around here in the NBA off season. Let's take a look a little bit at the NBA playoff schedule. I wish we had a little bit more to go over some of the horrible takes on X here today, but maybe we'll do that in the next episode. Oh big shout out, Can we please give a big shot out. We almost forgot this

big piece of news. Big shout out to Greg Popovich, Greg Popovich, and I just saw city officials are voting on renaming the San Antonio International Airport to Greg Popovich Airport. Very interesting, fun news for Greg pop There our buddy kwan Wick. He is kind of more of a a troll on X but we like some of his things.

But according to Clutch Points, it says city council members of San Antonio have filed paperwork to consider renaming their airport after Spurs president and recently retired head coach Greg Popovich. The proposed name is San Antonio Greg pop Popovich International Airport, and kwan Wick says, a little much. I think that's a big name. I agree with you. How about Pop you know, like Pia, you know Pop International, you know Pop International Airport, something like that, you know, San Antonio

Pop International Airport or something like that. They should shorten it, right, they should short it. But congratulations, it looks like it's going to go through according to city council members here in San Antonio, Greg Popovich International Airport. There you go, that's all you gotta say. You know who Greg Popovich is. Of course, people from overseas are like, why am I flying in the Greg Popovich International? Who is that? Google it? Google it all right. Let's take a look at the

NBA playoffs though coming up again, this is pre recorded. Okay. We talked a little bit about the Celtics and Knicks, who are playing tonight, which is Friday night. I know I'm confusing to you with a pre recorded show. Calm down, have your coffee, have your you know, monster inergy drink or whatever you're taking. But the Knicks play the Celtics tonight at home on ESPN. We'll talk more about that next week. But will Lee, we believe the Knicks are

going to take that. That will not go seven games. However, here's a very interesting scenario. We knew that the Nuggets, OKAC would go seven games. You think the joker is gonna go down without a fight. This series has been pretty pretty tight. Other than a couple of games. Other than Game two one forty nine, one oh six for the Thunder, Nuggets won one twenty one one nineteen Game one, they won Game three one thirteen one oh four. Thunder just beat them in Game four ninety two eighty seven,

Game five one to twelve, one oh five. This is playoff basketball. This is fun. This is fun. Nuggets one nineteen one oh seven the other night, uh tying up this series Game seven in Oka See. Okac's fans are crazy, but man, i'd like to see the Nuggets take them. And we know why, write Spurs fans, because we're jealous. Let's be honest, we're jealous. I just don't think the Nuggets have enough firepower. I believe the Thunder take this in Game seven, and I believe the Thunder lose in

the Western Conference finals. I think Minnesota's going Minnesota just have some ballers on that team. I know they played a depleted Golden State team. So calm down, Wolves fans, you played a depleted Golden State team. Now you have time off. I think you'll lose Game one. I think that'll go seven games if you play ok See. I would like to see a Minnesota OKC matchup because those team I'm sorry, Minnesota and Denver matchup, because those two

teams meet each other better, they match better. I think it'd be very interesting to see in the Eastern Conference. Congratulations in Indiana Pacers, Man, this is the team I'm pulling for I love underdogs. I'm a Spurs fan. Of course I'm gonna pull for the underdog Pacers. Of course advance they'll play the winner of Boston and New York, so we could possibly see Pacer versus the Knicks. That's a nineties matchup rights fans, but I love to see

the Pacers. I think that'll go seven games either way. I think the Eastern and Western Conference finals will go seven games, So we'll talk more about that in weeks to come. Here on the show, we've got more Spurs talked than to shake a stick at. But guess what, no matter where the Spurs are going to be here in the offseason, no matter how many wins or losses they have next season, we still have that black and silver blood running for our veins because that's what Spurs

fans do. Thank you, guys to all the contributors to the show, the newcomers coming on, the new fans coming on in. Thank you for like loving and Sharon, and we'll see all across social media. Come find us San Antonio Spurs Weekly Podcast with Katie and remember, Go Spurs, Go,
