Right now, the Spurs are having their best season in years.
They are the second seed in the Western Conference with a 38-16 record in 54 games.
Currently, the Spurs are in the middle of a six-game winning streak (and 8-2 over their last ten).
Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said the team felt waiving Jeremy Sochan was the right move, giving Jeremy an opportunity elsewhere. Wishes him nothing but the best.
