Making the Case: San Antonio Spurs
The San Antonio Spurs can never be counted out when pursuing a big man but Popovich is not the type of coach that will get fleeced in a deal. Anthony Davis is signed through the 2024-25 season where he will make around $40 million per year.
For San Antonio, this deal would be about keeping their backcourt together while acquiring Davis.
Four players and draft capital is fine for the Spurs. Murray is a triple-double threat every time he steps on the floor. He is averaging 21.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 9.3 assists per contest this year.
Johnson is second on the team scoring 16.9 per game and shooting 40.3% from three-point range. This is the future of the team and cannot be thrown away for Davis.

Now, if Davis is brought in with this dynamic backcourt then that is something to think about. San Antonio has fallen back in the Western Conference and this trio could help get them back into contention.
Anthony Davis would join a long line of elite big men in San Antonio looking to add to the list. The San Antonio Spurs keeping both Murray and Johnson in town would be a home run deal for years to come.
