Pleasantly surprising Jeremy Sochan update could change everything for Spurs

4 days ago | airalamo.com | Jahlil Williams

This looks way better than it did before. Jeremy Sochan's jump shot is looking much smoother these days, and that's a game-changer for the Spurs. The Polish Prince has become known for his hard work, selflessness, and dedication to improving his game. He's continuing that trend this offseason by working to remove the hitch from his jumper, and based on the video posted to Instagram by his trainer, Coach Moris Hadzija, he's succeeding.
NBA cap guru suggests possible reunion between Spurs and beloved former player

The Spurs are looking to move forward, not backwards. NBA capologist, Keith Smith, wrote an offseason preview about the SAS where he mentions a few backup point guard options for the San Antonio Spurs if Chris Paul doesn't return, and Tre Jones made the list. Jones was traded to Chicago as part of a three-way deal that sent Zach LaVine to Sacramento, and brought De'Aaron Fox to the 210.
Mitch Johnson critics missing huge factor in coaching hire complaints

The Spurs will be just fine. Gregg Popovich has one of the most vast and successful coaching trees of any major sport in the country that we've ever seen, so why would we start questioning that tree now? Mitch Johnson has sat next to Coach Pop, learning and growing, for years. When you look around the league at some of the most successful coaches and you'll see the old man's influence everywhere.
No-brainer Giannis trade proposal would bring Spurs inches from ultimate goal

1 week ago | airalamo.com | Jahlil Williams

Spurs Nation would love a deal like this. The Giannis Antetokounmpo trade rumors continue to rage, and now Zion Williamson has been thrown into the mix. It's sensible to believe the New Orleans Pelicans want to move off Zion, and if they're willing to agree to the one proposed by The Athletic's staff, it would be one of the most obvious decisions a GM's had to make since the Lakers' general manager Rob Pelinka said yes to acquiring Luka Doncic.
Catastrophe would strike Spurs' hopes down if latest NBA mock draft is right

1 week ago | airalamo.com | Jahlil Williams

These would be terrible fits for San Antonio. San Antonio has several needs from shooting to wing defenders and backup bigs, but drafting Carter Bryant with the ninth pick and Noa Essengue with the 14th as predicted in NBA.com's most recent mock draft isn't the way to address them. Both players have something to bring to the table and have the potential to do well in the league, but they aren't the prospects the Spurs should be targeting right now.
NBA community pours love into Popovich's cup after somber announcement

1 week ago | airalamo.com | Jahlil Williams

There's nobody like Pop. When Popovich's announcement came, I needed time to process it. It felt inevitable after the fainting incident a couple of weeks back, but that didn't lessen the blow. I'm 36 years old. That means I was seven years old the last time someone other than Gregg Popovich led San Antonio. I don't really know anything else, and that took some time for me to come to terms with. Pop has been the architect of some of the fondest memories I have as a sports fan.
Giannis fuels trade rumors with cryptic post Spurs should act on now

1 week ago | airalamo.com | Jahlil Williams

Could Giannis be ready to move? The hottest name in the rumor mill this offseason is Giannis Antetokounmpo. Milwaukee lost in the first round of the playoffs for the third year in a row, and Giannis has made it clear that he wants to win more than anything. With only two years left on his deal, the Bucks enter dangerous territory, uncertain if their star wants to stay put or seek greener pastures elsewhere. His most recent post on Instagram doesn't necessarily clear things up.
Bucks just handed the Spurs the Giannis Antetokounmpo gift they dreamed of

2 weeks ago | airalamo.com | Jahlil Williams

San Antonio should be watching Milwaukee closely. If you watched the end of game five of the Milwaukee Bucks/Indiana Pacers series, you likely still can't believe it ended that way. Up seven points with 40 seconds left in the game, you expect to win. As a matter of fact, there has never been a team that lost in that scenario in the history of the playoffs prior to last night's debacle. It leaves you wondering about the future of Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Spurs could steal playoff flamethrower who’s quietly torched the Miami Heat

Another candidate for the Spurs has revealed himself. We've heard the names of the usual suspects for weeks now. The San Antonio Spurs are in need of some new talent, so young prospects like Kon Knueppel and upcoming free agents like Gary Trent Jr have been discussed constantly. There's a new name that the fans should be paying attention to, though: the Cavaliers' shooting guard, Ty Jerome. Ty Jerome in only 91 minutes in round 1....
Stephon Castle’s savage ROY reaction proves Spurs drafted a killer

2 weeks ago | airalamo.com | Jahlil Williams

It was always going this way. When the odds for Rookie of the Year came out last summer, I was shocked by the revelation that Stephon Castle wasn't listed in the top three. There were a ton of questions about Alex Sarr and Zaccharie Risacher about how ready they'd be on day one coming into the draft. Reed Sheppard was selected third overall, but he was never going to be a serious competitor on a guard-heavy team like the Rockets.
