A while back (before the lottery, obvs) I said that the only way we should keep Dame is if we got Wemby. Well, with the idea that a Wemby-Dame pairing instantly makes you a contender, how about this?

Why would San Antonio do it? Because (a) they have a history of poaching our franchise players, (b) Dame is actually the kind of person their FO would absolutely love, (c) they've also got a history of pairing great players at least a decade apart and getting a championship out of it (see Robinson and Duncan), (d) they also have a history of rebuilding around a young star on the fly, and wouldn't be afraid of the After Dame times, and (e) Pop's not getting any younger - they would like to contend ASAP.
The biggest barrier is probably that they really like Sochan. But so do I, so I want us to get him. He plugs multiple gaps in our lineup at once. And hey, the Spurs can probably get Grant when they get Dame, because we won't need him once Dame goes (or we can bundle him with Dame)
