⭐️ Wemby's Got A New Co-Pilot - Tom's Title Tiers #4

De'Aaron Fox is back. But someone else is running the show with Wemby

A fascinating development in San Antonio. De’Aaron Fox is back, but he may not be at the controls. Victor Wembanyama’s co-star has been someone else.

Welcome to another edition of Tom’s Title Tiers! A reminder: This is my subjective list based largely on objective data. This is not a pure, analytical ranking. You’re here because you want to know what I think, to get inside my brain a little bit. Consider this a weekly report of what I see on film; what I glean from the numbers; what I hear on the phone; what I read in the news; what I feel.

This week’s featured squad: San Antonio Spurs.

A reminder that teams are listed within each tier in alphabetical order, not in order of strength. Here’s a quick rundown of each tier:

Tom’s Title Tiers

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is a complete team, no notes.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Just missing that one thing.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ One move away from being one move away.

⭐️⭐️ So much has to break right.

⭐️ Sooo you’re saying there’s a chance.

After a 7-2 start with a statement win over Houston, how high are the Spurs on the contender list? And what do we do with the sputtering LA Clippers?

Let’s get to it.
