The Spurs' season is over, but the work of building around Victor Wembanyama never stops
As Spurs players cleared out their lockers Monday afternoon and scattered to the wind for the summer, coach Gregg Popovich , general manager Brian Wright and the rest of the Spurs staff had work to do entering their first full offseason of building around Victor Wembanyama. The goal for next season: Don’t go 22-60 again.
In difficult season, how Victor Wembanyama preserved Spurs' joy “Everybody has a vision and a plan you want to execute,” Wright said. “But if it’s static on paper and it is not adaptable based on what you’ve seen, it’s probably not much of a plan.” If Wright and his team are feeling the pressure to put a winner around Wembanyama sooner rather than later, they aren’t showing it. The plan, Wright said, is to “be aggressive, but be strategically aggressive.
Wembanyama ready for Popovich to return for 29th season as Spurs coach Backup big man Sandro Mamukelashvili is poised to become a restricted free agent, giving the Spurs the right to match outside offers. Should the Spurs need to free additional roster spots, they have means to do so. Julian Champagnie, Dominick Barlow and Charles Bassey are under non-guaranteed contracts for next season, while Devonte’ Graham’s is only guaranteed at $2.9 million.
