No surprise there. Will be a major challenge to bring Mamu back. Though not impossible the way fellow great signing Bismack Biyombo was back in the day.

Now that Mamu has declined his player option to enter free agency, I added him to the list of free agents who would be a good fit with San Antonio: thespotupshot.substack.com/p…

“I’d take JB in a heartbeat… Pop wanted us to stop booing Kawhi… sometimes it’s okay to be broken up.”
Michelle Beadle says she’d take Jaylen Brown to the Spurs over Kawhi.

Wemby the Villain began back in 1977 with Kareem.
It’s called human nature, and where I come from its called getting tired of being bullied and getting even.
After the draft, having some muscle next to him is gonna definitely help. If ya don’t like it, too bad. Take your L’s!

“He solves a lot of issues for them. I wouldn’t consider him ring chasing.”

There’s the Champagnie extension
SpursMuse (@ spurs_muse):
Three years. $45 million.
Grade the extension. ![]()

ClutchPoints (@ ClutchPoints):
Julian Champagnie intends to sign a new three-year, $45 million contract to stay with the Spurs, per @ ShamsCharania.

Legion Hoops (@ LegionHoops):
The Spurs declined Julian Champagnie’s $3M team option and gave him a new deal: 3-years, $45 million (!!!), per ESPN.
Major respect.

Paul Garcia (@ PaulGarciaNBA):
I had Champagnie’s extension right at $14-$16 million, he’s up getting an average $15 million.
It will be interesting to see how the Spurs structure this deal; it could be similar to Kornet’s, on a descending scale.

Happy 25th birthday, Julian Champagnie!

Paul Garcia (@ PaulGarciaNBA):
With Champagnie on a descending contract, the Spurs are $25.6 million below the tax and $33.6 million under the 1st apron, with enough room to use the NTMLE of $15 mil and BAE on $5.4 million.
Tom Petrini (@ RealTomPetrini):
Interested to see how front-loaded Julian’s deal is, but makes a ton of sense for both parties

The last bit of Spurs news today is whether Harrison Ingram and David Jones Garcia received qualifying offers.
If they weren’t, they’d both be unrestricted free agents.

Julian Champagnie has OFFICIALLY signed his veteran contract extension.

Pretty cool to sign the deal on his birthday

San Antonio Spurs (@ spurs):
More buckets on the way! We’ve signed @ JulianChampagn2 to a multi-year contract extension ![]()

SpursRΞPORTΞR (@ SpursReporter):
Ousmane Dieng hitting unrestricted free agency today is a highly intriguing development for the Spurs.
Drafted 11th overall in 2022, the 6’10" jumbo forward now has four years of NBA experience under his belt and shares a deep connection with Victor Wembanyama from their days
Paul Garcia (@ PaulGarciaNBA):
3 open standard roster spots for the Spurs with Barnes back.
SA can use his bird rights to re-sign him
