It’s getting close to the 2025 season and a lot of spurs players have a chance to take a leap in production, along with a few veteran players being added to the roster. Will the Spurs improve or stay one of the bottom teams in the West?

    I might be too cynical and negative but maybe 5 games. I just don’t see Wemby’s progression and CP3 making the team that much better

      I think 5 games is too low. We have to remember that there were basically 2 different Spurs teams last year:

      1. The one where Pop was trying to fit a square peg in a round hole, (i.e. Wemby at the 4 and Sochan as the PG)
      2. Pop realizes that what looks, quacks, and sounds like a duck is a duck, (Wemby at the 5 with an actual point guard)

      The first team was horrendous and the 2nd team was bad, but was also winning at a 28-win pace, (6 wins better than their overall record). January to April isn’t a small sample either.

      I think improving 5 wins from that 28-win pace makes sense, which would mean an overall total of an 11 win improvement.
