SMOOTH RUNWAY: The Spurs NEED to cash in on IDEAL early season schedule.

From there Matthew tackles the offseason's scarier headlines and calmly talks Spurs fans off the ledge: with franchise valuations soaring and the Lakers' ownership drama (Mark Walter, federal probe) dominating the news, is San Antonio at risk of being sold or moved? His answer — no. The Holt family wants the Spurs in San Antonio, the ownership structure is stable, and a lot of these billion-dollar figures look like "funny money." He closes with a preview of Wembanyama's FIBA action for France (including a friendly against Nikola Jokić and Serbia) and the one part of Wemby's game he's most curious to watch: his interior scoring in a more physical, condensed international game.   Join us as we talk about all this and more on today's episode of Locked on Spurs!     Send your voicemails here!: https://www.speakpipe.com/lockedonspurs   🎙️ Locked On Spurs — Your daily San Antonio Spurs podcast. 🔔 Subscribe & hit the bell so you never miss an episode. 👍 Like, comment, and share if you're riding with the Spurs!   📸 We're on Instagram! @lockedonspurs     SUBSCRIBE TO THE CORPORATE KNOWLEDGE NEWSLETTER: https://matthewtynan.substack.com   Follow Matthew: https://x.com/Matthew_Tynan   Follow Tyler: @tylerprincefilm   & https://thevideoman.substack.com   MERCH! https://cottonbureau.com/p/DU622E/shi...   0:00 The Schedule Drop & 34 National TV Games 6:00 Why a Hot Start Matters for a Young Team 8:19 The Favorable Early-Season Runway 12:35 Fewer Back-to-Backs: The TV-Darling Perk 14:21 NBA Schedule Changes & the Arena Vote 17:18 Should Spurs Fans Fear an Ownership Sale? 28:27 Wembanyama vs. Jokić: FIBA Preview   Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms 🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/podcasts/locked-on-spurs/   Locked On NBA League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft, WNBA & More 🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/leagues/nba   Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it's time to make it official.
