Gregg Popovich says no one should bet on the Spurs to win the championship: 'It's probably not gonna happen'

Summarized by: Live Sports Direct
 

Gregg Popovich is not optimistic about the San Antonio Spurs' chances of winning the championship. Caesars Sportsbook lists the Spurs at +100000 to win the title. The team has not made the playoffs since 2019 and is rebuilding. The organization is targeting Victor Wembanyama, the projected No. 1 overall pick in next year's draft. He is a prospect that Popovic is excited about. It's rare to hear a coach say his team is going to stink.
