Emoni Bates was meant to be the next big thing...

But he had a disappointing freshman season with Memphis, transferred to a much smaller college, and has now been arrested on felony gun charges.

REPORT: If the Los Angeles Lakers decide to trade Russell Westbrook at some point down the line, the San Antonio Spurs remain one of the few teams in the league open to such a deal.

Jakob Poeltl and Josh Richardson are the two Spurs players most commonly involved in trade talk.
