Summer Leauge,DFox and WNBA?

the floor like a gazelle. I would maybe say a gazelle. I wouldn't say gazelle, maybe a wounded deer, but man, am I getting it done? Guys, welcome to another episode of the San Antonio Spurs Weekly Podcast. And we're a different podcast, aren't we. If you've been joining us, we like to have a lot of fun. We poke fun at ourselves, we poke fun at the world. We poke fun at the WNBA, which trust me, that's coming up in just a little bit on the show. But we're

gonna talk a little bit about Chris Paul today. We'll talk about the San Antonio Spurs rising star out of the Summer League. We'll talk about the Summer League itself, and a congratulations to the Charlotte Hornets and Conk Nipple picking up the MVP of the Summer League. There's a guy we all thought we're gonna come to San Antonio, didn't we. Man, this kid is having a heck of a run right now. Everybody's talking about Cooper Flag and Dylan Harper. This kid could make a run for Rookie

of the Year if he gets enough touches. I said it. I said it right here on the show. First. Conk Nipple could surprise a lot of people. And when you go to play Charlotte and you have somebody like LaMelo Ball, at point that can get you to ball in open areas. This is a very good thing for Charlotte Hornets fans and also Conk Nipple, good young core down there. We'll talk more about them, believe it or not, in the off season when we do our off season report talking

about every team across the league. But we're are right here today talking about our very own San Antonio Spurs. Lots to get to in this episode, and we will talk a little bit about the WNBA, the WNBA All Star Game. Don't worry, we're not going into stats and all that. But they're going to have their very own dedicated show next week. Yes, yes, we are going to

have the roast of the WNBA. And don't worry, some of you social media darlings out there who report on the WNBA now and watch WNBA games just to get clicks, trust me, you're going to be thrown in that roast as well. No one is safe, all right, just like our very own Spurs podcasters and our Spurs video casters. Nobody's ever safe because it's all about having a little bit of fun, discussing the NBA, WNBA, some basketball knowledge, and of course our San Antonio Spurs and speaking of

our very own San Antonio Spurs. Coming up in today's report, we'll talk a little bit about Chris Paul where he's headed, and also we will talk about that summer league like we spoke of. But there's one guy that's not getting any play right now and we're forgetting about him on the Spurs, and we're gonna find out about this guy. What does say, what does the Fox say? What does Deer and Fox say?

Victor Winbinyama, Dylan Harper, Steph Castle, Soleyan Visell. We're talking about that young nucleus. But there's something about when you're forming chemistry with a team you need that out side source, and I believe D Fox is going to be the key to the San Antonio Spurs going from a playing team to that mid four. I said that, I said it, and I'll tell you why. I say it every week

on the show. Two years ago, nineteen wins, last year thirty plus Without those two in the lineup at the end of the year, I want that to go into your brain. Victor and Fox in the same lineup for forty games, be ready because we could pick up another fifteen wins right there. That's forty five wins. We're in the mix when it's in the West, and that's me

being humble. That's me being humble Spurs fans. So we'll talk a little bit about D Fox, but we also want to talk a little bit about a man that is now leaving San Antonio.

Spur to leave the River City. Chris Paul, we applaud you, thank you for what you've done, because your impact for one year will be shown for years to come, especially for what you've done behind the scenes, in front of the scenes, turning these young San Antonio Spurs from boys to men. I truly believe that, not even just the knowledge that you brought on the court, but off the court. A lot of people don't realize that Chris Paul sewed into Castle a lot last year. What do you think

Castle's going to do with Dylan Harper? Dylan Harper continues to be open minded, wanting to play here in San Antonio. The future of this team is so bright, and Chris Paul is heading on and over to his team that he came from. Chris Paul is going back to Kelly, Kelly, Kelly going back to Kelly. Yeah, we kind of thought so. Chris Paul heading back to the Los Angeles Clippers. A lot of people were talking about the Lakers possibly, but

they don't know what's going on with Lebron now. And please, can we Shut up the rumors, especially the guy on ESPN that looks like Dracula that's always saying, oh, well, I got a trade scenario for you, and this also involves san Antonio Spurs, Steph Curry and Lebron James could be coming to than Antonio. Cut the crap, shut up. If we didn't go after Giannis hard and give up half this team, what do you think we'd have to do for those two And we wouldn't want them here.

Not that we're saying we don't love you too. All right, you're two of the greatest of all time. We'll give you that. But when you're developing a young core, young nucleus, do you want to win right now or do you want to win for years to come, especially in a West that's very young with OKC and Houston. Wake up, people, stop the stupid rumors. And it's always that moron on ESPN constantly, Well, I have sources, and I have a trade proposal for you. Yeah, that's because you play too

much two K Like half of the people on social media. Oh, I've got a great trade proposal, but we're gonna give up twelve guys for this one. Why don't you just go ahead and trade Wemby while you're at it. Why don't you just do that stupid allegation. Sorry, I had to get that out of my system here on the show today. But in perfect honesty, Chris Paul goes to the Los Angeles Clippers, and this is great for him.

He gets to go back home finish out his career where he kind of started early in his career too. You know, could be Lob City three point zero now over there, and this is a good opportunity for him to make a run in the playoffs his final year. The thing that scares me the most Clipper fans if there's any of y'all out there, because I've never seen you wear a Clippers jersey other than a bow Kimball jersey. And I said, Bo Kimball, that makes me more of a Clipper fan than you. A lot of you young

guys are like Bo. Who let me go google that chat GPT. Who is bull a Kimball? Who is that? Who is that? I told you we roast everybody on this show. I'm roasting myself that I'm that old that I know Bo Kimball. All right. The only reason I know Bo Kimball is a simple fact. As I was on Maccari the other day looking at basketball cards and I saw the nineteen ninety hoop set and had the top ten picks, and man, what an atrocious draft that was?

Right other than Gary Payton, probably Gary Payton was number two. Dereck Coleman was number one, had a decent career but didn't pan out the way that he should. Bo Kimball was like four Linel Simmons from the Sacramento Kings. Talk about guys you thought that were going to be stars and studs that just fizzled out. The nineteen ninety draft was definitely that. Other than I think GP, you know, he's definitely Hall of Famer, top one hundred all time.

People don't talk about Gary Payton much, especially for his defense. Now we move on, though, to Chris Paul and the Clippers real quick. I think they'll make a deep run. I think will be kind of contending with them throughout the years. Spurs fans in that four to six range, San Antonio stays healthy. I believe we can be as high as four as low as eight. Now that's not bad, right. A lot of people are saying, oh, they're only going to make the play in the West is tougher than

people think. I think a lot of teams did a lot of too many trades this year, and it's going to take time for that camaraderie to build. And guess what, there's two teams at already have camaraderie, San Antonio and Oka. See I'm putting that out on the table. Camaraderie and togetherness goes a long way in the NBA. Luca's still trying to figure it out. Is this his team? Is

Lebron coming or going? What is going on? Rumor is Lebron may go to Dallas now back with Kyrie in the brow and to help Cooper flag And it's like, you know what if the GM of Dallas did that, there is going to be anarchy in Dallas. Okay, it's gonna be worse than you, Dallas Cowboy fans saying we're gonna win the Super Bowl every year and don't it's gonna be horrible. Can you imagine if Lebron comes there and y'all are horrible again and the Cowboys have a

bad season. Man, I would not want to live in Dallas, Man, I would not want to live in Dallas. Sorry, Dallas fans. I had to throw that at you too. But Chris Paul going back to the Clippers, I think is a good thing. This gives the Clippers a big opportunity to make a push in the playoffs. Kawhi Leonard. You also still have James Harden their barring injury. We'll see what happens. But let's talk a little bit about the NBA Summer League.

Man the San Antonio Spurs. One of their final scores at July nineteenth, he ended up beating the Pistons ninety six eighty four. They had a really good summer league. But there's a guy that's really really starting to shine for the San Antonio Spurs, and we're going to talk about him in just a moment as well. But the Summer League champs does go to Conka Nipple and the Charlotte Hornets. Another young team to really watch out for in the NBA in the next couple of years to come.

So let's take a look at summer league action with the San Antonio Spurs. Can we get a little summertime music? What is this? We couldn't afford? Like the original summertime song? What who is Baby? Rasta? Can we turn this up if you that is vich This is awful that you're looking at me like we don't have the funds to afford copyright. Is that what it is? Oh my god? In this summertime, the San Antonio Spurs, of course, in summer league action. What are we doing on this show today?

To be honest with you, Let's have some fun, right, Summer league action for the San Antonio Spurs didn't look too bad. Let's be honest. We're gonna go over a few of the guys to look out for for the Spurs this year. What should the Spurs do? Now? This is the whole thing of the summer League. There's certain surprises that come out of this. Can we use this guy here? Can we use this guy here? Can we trade this guy? Can we sign and trade? There's so

much that could happen with this summer league? And you know what it shows you that every person you listen to, myself, other podcasters, NBA analsts, Yes, I call you analists. It doesn't matter what they know because it's out the window. It's about a player getting on that floor and playing.

I coach players all the time. There's certain players, certain weeks you expect them to do more than others, and then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, somebody is doing something miraculous and you're like, dude, I gotta get that guy some pt. I got to get him some play in time, because he's playing very, very well. And I think that's what my team thinks about me. They're like, oh my god, this guy's starting to play well. Let's get him out there. I'm like, dude, I'm forty nine,

all right. I need a break. I need some kterade, I need a steak, I need something on the sidelines. All right. But let's get to the Spurs action. Twenty twenty five twenty twenty six San Antonio Spurs Summer League Get Stats, brought to you in part by Well the San Antonio Spurs Weekly Podcast with your Boy KD and also chaking a look at Basketball dot realm dot com.

That's what we're taking a look at. And man, let's start off with the man of the hour everybody's been talking about all summer league long, and it's Dylan Harper. Dylan Harper only played two games, and this is what happens when you get a top draft pick. Oh, he has a hamstring. Oh, his fingernails cracks. Oh, he can't play. They're just protecting him, guys. When Dylan got in the game, he averaged about sixteen points a game and twenty two minutes.

Field goal percentage thirty five percent. He didn't shoot too well from the field. We know he's not a great outside shooter. Just yet he shot thirteen percent free throws. I mean seventy eight percent. I don't understand how a guard can't hit eighty five or above. I said it, eighty five or above. I will challenge an NBA guard to a free throw contest and I'll probably get eighty percent.

I'm just putting that out there. Anybody who wants contact with me the San Antonio Spurs Weekly Podcast with Katie I have made the challenge. I'll do it. I'm going up against a semi pro guy next week. I can't wait to see how this is gonna work. Though, But I said free throw contest, all right, Calm down, Spurs fans. Dylan Harper had okay two games. Wasn't spectacular. The two guys that we thought would shine this year were Riley

Minnix and Harrison Ingram. Both of them averaged a eleven point three points a game with Riley almost ten points a game for harrow Send. Those are the guys the Spurs are really looking at. They were in the system last year. Those are the guys that will probably get a lot of play, I would think. However, there is a rising star in the mix. We'll talk about in just a second. Riley had a really good three point

shooting season in the Summer League forty eight percent. I'm looking at three point percentages more than anything because we need three point shooters. Yes, Riley may have only made three buckets and his percentages forty eight percent, but limited time, limited action, limited touches. But let's move to the star of the Summer League for the Spurs. R MVP David Jones Garcia, Can we talk about this guy from a lot of you guys out on the podcast world in

the Spurs Land, you've been talking about him. We needed to talk about him as well. This guy has been just absolutely phenomenal. He looks so good. You know, he reminds me of Spurs fans if you remember the guy James Anderson. James Anderson became a star for a few years here in San Antonio, one or two years. He just looked like he was going to be a bona fide NBA stud, but only gave us a couple years here in San Antonio. We'll take that. We'll take that.

But David Jones Garcia, what do the Spurs do now? Five games, twenty five minutes a game, twenty two points a game. He was shooting fifty three percent from the field, fifty three percent from three point range. What do the Spurs do with ninety two percent from the free throw line? David Jones Garcia DG. We got to give him the nickname though, DJG, so we'll re call him DJG. David Jones Garcia, don't play me in the free throw contest, all right, because you prove to me that somebody can

hit above eighty five percent? All right? Or Chris Paul league leader in free throw percentage, by the way. But David Jones Garcia, let's spend a moment on him. David Jones Garcia, where does he go next with the Spurs? Spurs fans, if you take a look at our roster, could we afford maybe one more guy on that roster? Now? I thought Riley Minnox would be that dude. I think Riley could sign Harrison Ingram, you know, actually disappointed me

a little bit here in the offseason. But now that we have got some big veterans in the mix for the Spurs, you could see Harrison Ingram spending another year in the G League. You could see maybe a David Jones Garcia being called up. A lot of you guys have reported I've seen you online on Twitter, on x also on TikTok as well, some great reports by the Baseline Bums. If you get an opportunity to listen to the Baseline Bums, go do listen to them too. A lot of guys were saying they'd love to see him

on a two way contract. I think a two way contract would be best as well. I don't disagree with that. Get him up here for some scoring, you know, I think if he's going to play that way, even if he gives us a couple shots a game, can knock down a couple shots and grow into that role. That's

pretty scary. So San Antonio Spurs have got another star on their hand here in the Summer League, but they also got another problem on their hand, wondering what they're gonna do with roster space and I like Jordan McLaughlin and a lot of you guys were knocking Jordan saying, all they gave him a three million dollar contract, it's for veteran leadership. He's been here a few years. He's

a guy that knows the NBA, knows the system. He can give you a few minutes to give a breather for a few players, and that's what he's here for. I think if you get a young, bona fide stud like DJG, what happens is is he wants to outshine everybody. He knew he was the star of his team other than Dylan Harper. No offense to Riley, no offense to Harrison, no offense to Jamior Nelson Junior and others on the bench. But he knew he was the star of this team

in the summer league. So what happens with a star they take over? Now? Can he fit into the rest of the system, maybe being just a role player that could come in and knock down a few shots, play a couple series of great defense, because the Spurs are gonna be laced with defense this year, and you know the coaching staff is going to wonder if he can do that as well. But he had a great summer league. DJG looked phenomenal and you know what, he was definitely

our MVP. The future is bright, guys, the future is brighton San Antonio. Know if ans are butts, most definitely, But we always want to know what's going to happen with the players that are already gonna be here. What about dearon Fox? Here's a guy I believe that is that integral part, that integral piece for the San Antonio Spurs. And according to ESPN's Bobby Marks, he expects the Spurs to come out to a four year deal two hundred

and twenty nine million dollar extension this offseason. I'm gonna flip that a little bit. This was as a month ago. Now that you have some of these younger stars, the Spurs have a lot of leverage right now. They can go back to Fox and say, listen, you're worth what you want, But listen, we have ABC and D and we can go other multiple ways. Would you take a three year, one hundred and fifty million dollar extension? Would you take a four year two hundred million dollar extension?

You could see the Spurs try to low ball Deer and Fox here if Tieren rarely wants to be in San Antonio, and there's already rumors when he just got traded here. His wife doesn't like San Antonio. I'm not making that up. She wasn't happy about the move. And it's funny because she's originally from this area. But sometimes people here in the city move out come back like your boy here loves the city, but there's also people that are like I didn't like the city to begin with.

That's why we moved out. Maybe it's growing on her. I think Dieron fits the Spur system perfectly and he has something to prove. He has something to prove. A lot of people were saying, oh, Spurs fans were disappointed in his performance. He was her all year. He got hurt in the offseason last year with that hand injury, and he played the way he did. But it was okay to have an aging twenty year veteran Chris Paul with a messed up hand on the floor. For you guys,

wake the up. De year in Fox is exactly what we got. We knew we were getting damaged goods. The Spurs knew what was gonna happen, and they're banking on that he's gonna have a great season. When a player has a major injury and still playing well and they're gonna come back the next year and have a lot to prove. These Spurs have a lot to prove. Wenby was hurt, Fox was hurt. Vassell wants to prove to

all y'all that he still got it. I'm tired of everybody talking about dv I've said a few times he was inconsistent last year, off and on, off and on. He had a month or two man he was draining him from three point range. But you got to remember when players go in and out of the lineups, sometimes that affects that other player's performance. We forget about the integral parts of a team. You think it's individuality, especially you young players out there, Oh I can do it

my skill and drop forty. No you can't. It's your players around you moving telling you to do this, do that, Hey, go this way, go that way. Chemistry, camaraderie goes a long way. So Hand's been in the gym, Castle's been in a gym. Seen a lot of videos all over for the Spurs, and they look like they're healthy, and that's scary. Keldon's put on more muscle without looking like he put on more muscle. Wemby has more muscle, so hand looks good from the outside. The Spurs are banking

on this core, and you guys should too. Stop being spoil old title town brats. Listen. I'm in that category two. But I also know that it's a process, and we've been saying that for two years here on the show and with Deer and Fox. According to Yahoo Sports and Bobby Marks at ESPN, Fox is eligible to agree to an extension after the finals concluded. He could have asked after the OKC win, but is restricted to the amount

of years and total value. Marx wrote, the three year, one hundred and forty million dollar extension increases to four years to twenty nine starting on August third. So we've got a month, guys, We got a month to really see what the Spurs are going to do. Can the Spurs maybe give him a three million, one hundred and fifty million dollar extension, kind of go halfway, see where he is in three years, or do you go the full four years and short him on the money four

years to twenty maybe four years two fifteen. It's going to be interesting to see but the Spurs have a promising future with Fox, Victor winmin Yama leading the way in all this young integral parts here in San Antonio. But what does the Fox say? The Fox says he wants to stay in San Antonio. He loves San Antonio and he really would like to play to a contender. He loves playing with Victor. He wants to be here

with Victor. He wants to be here with Castle. He said that when you've got a guy that's that determined, pay the man, as they would say in Goodfellas, f you pay me, FU pay me, And I think we should because he's going to be that veteran leader we need as well, along with the two big men we picked up here in the offseason, which are going to be very integral parts for the San Antonio Spurs and their core. Now, I do want to close this show a little bit with what happened in the WNBA this

past week. Yes, the WNBA All Star Game happened, and some of you probably didn't even know what had happened. Don't worry, We're not going to go over any stats or who scored what. But it was atrocious. I didn't even watch the game I do watch clips and highlights ESPN, this, that and the other thing, and what you guys post on social media. I mean bricks galore. Angel Reese trying to shoot three pointers. That is a joke. She can't even hit a layup but expects to hit a three pointer.

It was atrocious. And then what was the most disappointing thing about the WNBA is this whole pay us what you owe us movement, Pay us what you owe us movement. Here's the deal, WNBA players. You don't like what you're doing. Quit? Oh wait, you are still under a freaking contract. Why didn't you negotiate that the first time you put your name on the dotted line. It's because you're greedy to begin with, and you already just want to get out there.

And for namesake, we already see what the women are doing. The women are doing w what the WWE women do? Oh? What was that, Katie? What did you just say? Fake wrestling women are doing what compared to WNBA players. I'm going to tell you they're creating storylines right now, and all of you are falling for it. All of you are falling for it. You're trying to watch the WNBA you're trying to see a good product and it's not there. It hasn't been there. Are there good players, Yes, are

there players that can beat me? Probably? But with that being said, I don't say a dang thing other than just don't watch it. But you try to continue to support what they're doing and what they're trying to achieve. But don't understand that when there's no ad revenue coming in from other companies, guess what they won't get paid what they're worth or what they're owed. You're getting paid what you owe morons underneath your contract. I don't get it. I don't get it. Pay us what you owe us.

If you sign a three year, twenty five million dollar contract, they're paying you what they owe you. That is the stupidest line I've ever heard in my life. Pay us what you owe us. That's what I'm saying. Okay, pay us the rest of the contract and then and then we'll play better. Get out of here, Get out of here. Y'all are just mad and jealous because there's a woman like Caitlin Clark that has now made a name for

the WNBA. You're mad, then you're turning it into a race war We're going to get more into this next week as we have a little ten minute fast break roast on the WNBA. Some of the stuff that I set here today will be mentioned in more detail. But I've never understood this pay us what you owe us movement. I don't you sign a contract the day you enter the league. You can look at that contract and say I don't want to only make twenty five million for

five years. I want fifty million. You have every right to negotiate your contract, but you don't. So now you're gonna do things that WWE women do. You only go to the league for one reason, to get your notoriety, and now you're gonna go on. You know, only fans take pictures of your feet, and then you're gonna have some freaks out there pay for it. End of story.

That's how you'll get paid. Angel Reaes last year saying that her contract couldn't even pay for her apartment and light bill, Well, maybe you should manage your money a little bit better. Maybe you should learn how to play monopoly when you were a kid. Maybe you should have learned to put a piggy bank away and learn for savings. That's called adulthood. Wake up. I don't get it. I don't get it, and they're a sad thing of this.

There's good players out there. I like watching Sophie Cunningham, I like watching Katelyn Clark, but I don't like the ones that go out there crying that they want more and more. They're a part of this me too movement. I should get this me too well. Good thing. You're using social media and you're on podcasting. I don't know who's listening to your podcast. I don't understand how people listen to your podcast because all you do is complain,

like I'm complaining right now. It was a pathetic display to see them do that with the signs and the shirts behind the people that were talking when they're being introduced. It was pathetic. And guess what when your main entertainer is Glo Rilla? Yeah, great product. How'd that work out for? Sorry I'm going political here, how'd that work out for Kamala Harris when she put Megan the Stallion up there when you're trying to get older white women to vote

for you? Stupid? And yes, I'm saying it, this is what the WNBA is doing too. Right now? Do you want to be taken seriously, put a better product on the floor, Put a better product on the floor. Just do it. Go out there and just do it. Play your contract out and if you don't like your contract, go to another team, go to overseas, start your own league,

start your own women's Big three league. But no, you sit here and continue to cry about you making millions of dollars when there's other countries right now that are trying to struggle to make ends meet. Pathetic and it shows why people overseas have problems with Americans. That it's all I have to say about that. And in this episode of the San Antonio Spurs, we touched on a little everything, didn't we We had some fast breaks to

the Spurs, a little tribute to our Chris Paul. We had our tribute to of course, what does the Fox say? Hopefully you enjoyed the show. I know I didn't have a lot more to say about the WNBA coming up in our fast break episode, so be ready for that coming out this week.
