Your daily briefing on what’s going on with the San Antonio Spurs, including news, draft & more.
Happy Sunday, Por Vida fans, and happy September! Welcome to your evening Spurs Starter.
Podcast culture’s recent explosion has provided no shortage of thoughts from media personalities, current players and former legends. Unfortunately, not all of them are welcome — or sensible, for that matter.
In a recent podcast episode, former San Antonio Spurs legend Robert Horry went no holds barred on the state of the young team as it relates to 20-year-old star Victor Wembanyama.
The seven-time champion not only alluded to a potential change of scenery for the young star should no progress be made in the Spurs’ pursuit of Western Conference contention, but named another one of his former teams in the process.
“Give it two, three seasons,” Horry said, “especially if the Spurs aren’t doing anything or Wemby may not be ‘happy,’ (you’re) going to see his name connected to the Lakers.”
Some saw the former player’s comments as a jab at the fanbase that tends to dream big and think little, but if there’s anything to be taken from the short clip, it’s that the statement was weightless.
The Spurs are likely to make strides with Wembanyama at the center of their franchise, and on top of that, it would take quite the deal to send him away from the Silver & Black, who are sure to offer the French phenom as much money as they can when the time comes.
