The San Antonio Spurs are still a developing team, but the arrival of Victor Wembanyama from France has quickly elevated their potential. To strengthen their core, the Spurs added All-Star guard De’Aaron Fox before this season’s trade deadline.
Unfortunately, their momentum was stalled when Wembanyama suffered a season-ending injury, which ultimately kept the Spurs from clinching a playoff spot. Despite the setback, the team remains optimistic and determined. San Antonio is reportedly setting their sights even higher, eyeing the possibility of adding another superstar to bolster their roster and championship hopes.
San Antonio has amassed a treasure trove of draft assets in preparation for the future. Over the next seven years, they hold 36 picks. According to a report by Jake Fischer, the Spurs are expected to inquire about two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, potentially offering a pick-heavy package to acquire him. The move would aim to form a formidable duo between Giannis and Wembanyama.

Bringing in Giannis would be a massive step forward for the Spurs. The Greek superstar has been the heart of the Milwaukee Bucks’ success for years. This season, Giannis averaged 30.4 points, 11.5 rebounds, and 6.5 assists per game.
Antetokounmpo’s leadership carried Milwaukee to the playoffs, where they advanced to the first round before falling 3-1 to the Indiana Pacers. Pairing that talent level with a healthy Wembanyama could turn the Spurs into a legitimate title threat.

Wembanyama shared a heartfelt tribute to Gregg Popovich following the announcement of the legendary coach’s decision to step down. In a message posted on X, Wembanyama expressed his deep gratitude and admiration for Popovich’s influence both on and off the court.
“29 years. Coach, thank you for your wisdom, for your leadership, for the culture you created. But most importantly for being a grea t and inspiring person. It was an honor to be a part of those 29 years. Wishing you the best on your new chapter,” Wemby wrote.
Popovich led the Spurs for nearly three decades. Newly appointed head coach Mitch Johnson will guide Wembanyama and the Spurs in the upcoming season.
