This offseason, we can conclude that the Spurs are not going to mess up the new season. Wembanyama has already shown his dominance after playing a season last season and will be even more effective next season. So Popovich definitely wants to quickly unleash Wembanyama's potential, so their signings this offseason are very targeted. The Spurs will definitely be aiming for the playoffs next season.
Their reinforcements this offseason are also focused on reinforcements. They got two important players, Paul and Barnes. Paul's arrival is undoubtedly to help Wembanyama improve quickly, and also to make Wembanyama more dominant in the new season. After all, Paul's passing quality is completely unmatched by other players, and Wembanyama may get a lot of easy dunks under the basket in the new season.
And Barnes is a mature veteran and an excellent instant fighter. His arrival will give the Spurs an immediate boost in their forward line. The Spurs will see a major shake-up in their starting line-up for the new season, with Paul, Vassell, Barnes, Sochan and Wembanyama in the starting line-up if nothing else. Wembanyama was also able to start alongside 12-time All-Star Paul. One old and one young, one inside and one outside, the Spurs team in the new season is definitely worth looking forward to.
It's no secret that Paul is a great fit for a strong interior partner. As long as he is equipped with a very dominant interior lineman, this team will become very strong, such as when he was with the Clippers, he partnered with Griffin and Jordan Jr., and made the empty city that was all the rage back then.
The competition in the West is fierce, do the Spurs have what it takes to make a playoff break? In my opinion, it depends on Wembanyama's performance in the new season. If Wembanyama can show a similar dominance in his second season of his career, with the arrival of Paul and Barnes, the Spurs have every chance to make the playoffs. Besides, they also have Old Man Popovich. The Spurs' tactical style of play in the new season should dazzle many fans. Many Spurs fans who have been dormant for many years may also be slowly revealing themselves in the new season, and this Spurs team is obviously worthy of the attention of many long-time fans.
