Silver and Black Coffee Hour: A San Antonio Spurs Podcast

THE SUMMER OF WEMBY:Fresh off a Finals appearance, Spurs superstar Victor Wembanyama is the center of the NBA world in many ways. Tom Petrini, Aaron Blackerby, and Zach Montana break down everything important in an eventful offseason for Vic and for San Antonio.Wemby left over $50 million on the table in a huge contract extension that prioritizes winning over money and sets a meaningful precedent for the Spurs and for the NBA. How does it impact Steph Castle, Dylan Harper, De'Aaron Fox, and the rest of the roster? What does it mean for the league, the players' association, and the collective bargaining agreement? How will it shape Wemby's legacy?Wembanyama also became the first Spur on the cover of 2K27, and it seems he insisted on making it the first 2K cover ever to feature the star's teammates. And once again it's a summer full of whimsical side quests for Wemby, from pickup soccer to training with De'Aaron Fox and their new teammate Tobias Harris, and his old friend Hakeem Olajuwon.Plus, a wrap on what we saw at Summer League from Carter Bryant, Tarris Reed Jr., Ja'Kobi Gillespie, Maliq Brown, Hyunjung Lee, and coach Corliss Williamson.

Tobias Harris is the headliner of a low-key, but lowkey impactful offseason for the San Antonio Spurs as they work to improve the roster. On this episode, Zach Montana moderates a vicious debate between Tom Petrini and Aaron Blackerby on whether the Harris signing is perfect or merely very good. Will the free agent forward start in place of Julian Champagnie or come off the bench? Does he remind you more of Keldon Johnson or Rudy Gay? And how do we grade the moves of Spurs GM Brian Wright? Plus, Tommy Vegas takes us courtside at Summer League with up-close thoughts on rising sophomore Carter Bryant and this year’s draft picks in Tarris Reed Jr., Ja’Kobi Gillespie and Maliq Brown.

What moves will the Spurs make this summer to turn this contender into a champion?Hosts Tom Petrini and Zach Montana break down the draft haul for San Antonio, and what they could accomplish via the trade market and/or free agency. Will the rumors of a Kawhi Leonard reunion amount to anything?We spoke to GM Brian Wright after the first round of the 2026 draft, where his war room selected two very different big-man prospects in Jayden Quaintance and Tarris Reed Jr. In the second round, they grabbed Ja'Kobi Gillespie and Maliq Brown.With the center position squared away, it seems likely San Antonio will look to bring in a forward. Former Spur Sandro Mamukelashvili could be available, and John Collins and Rui Hachimura have both been reportedly linked to San Antonio. Tobias Harris could be in the cards, but what about LeBron James, who at 41 could be the LeBron James of Tobias Harrises?And then fine, we'll talk about the Kawhi Leonard stuff.
