Spurs starting five decisions to begin season will be fascinating. Probably penciling in Fox, Harper, Vassell, Barnes, Wemby but it is with the thinnest of graphite – 5:13 PM

That’s more annually than Victor Wembanyama, the San Antonio Spurs’ rising star, who’s making $13.7 million. “Does Smith deserve to earn more than Wemby?” Kyrie Irving asked rhetorically—highlighting the strange optics of a broadcaster out-earning a generational basketball talent. -via BasketNews / July 12, 2025
“I’m going to discuss Stephen A’s contract, and I’m going to say he’s not worth it,” Kyrie said bluntly on stream. “Obviously, Stephen A., this is for an [example],” he clarified, making clear it wasn’t a personal attack—just a point about fairness. -via BasketNews / July 12, 2025
