It was a nice little Saturday for Bismack Biyombo, who got a papaya smoothie, a nap and a job offer from the Spurs.

So eager was Biyombo to resume his NBA career that he hopped in a car and made the 2 1/2-hour drive from Miami to meet his new team in Orlando.

Spurs lose a heart breaking game to the Magic 112-111. Play-in is starting to look less likely. Maybe we can let Fox get his surgery early so he can get ready for next season.

Jacob Tobey has come a long way since the beginning of the season. He is starting to sound more natural when calling the Spurs games on FanDuel.

Stephon Castle might have broken Wendell Carter's ankle. Not literally. But yeesh.

Another and-one for the Spurs.

De'Aaron Fox needed two extra tenths of a second. His new team will need more than that.

But even though the Spurs aren't looking for a quick fix, they're already prepared to put their full faith in him.

As Wemby put it: "We're not going to trust halfway."

Wemby's block. This is what the Spurs fans call an abduction. When Wemby makes a block and then takes possession of the ball afterwards. Will this block make Wemby's Hall of Fame highlight video? It seems like every night we see something absurd.

Without the benefit of a practice with his new team & full knowledge of its schemes, Fox had 24 pts & 13 assists in his Spurs debut.

So what happens once he gets more familiar with everything?

“He's going to unlock a whole different element for our team."

To acquire Fox without giving up ANY of this — while holding onto Castle, Vassell, Johnson and Sochan — is astounding.
During the summers in which Victor Wembanyama will be 22 to 28 years old, the Spurs have the rights to:

*Atlanta’s 1st the year Trae Young can become a free agent.

*Atlanta’s 1st the year after Young becomes a free agent.

*Dallas’ 1st the year AD turns 37.

*Sac’s 1st the year Sabonis turns 35.

Two teams to watch for De'Aaron Fox: Spurs and Rockets. San Antonio is looking for a long term point guard fit opposite Wemby. Rockets have been telegraphing that they will stand pat but Fox fits Houston's long term timeline.

Wemby is such a different player. On defense opponents don’t test him and on offense you never know what kind of circus shot he is going to pull out of the hat.
Victor Wembanyama Is Reshaping the NBA as We Know It
The hype was real. Maybe even undersold. In his second season, Wemby isn’t just on pace to be an all-time great; he’s literally changing the game.
