Why The San Antonio Spurs Do The Deal
The San Antonio Spurs’ interest in this deal probably rests on their evaluation of OG Anunoby.
After all, it’s easy enough for an NBA player to say they want a bigger role. The question, always, is do they deserve it?
If the Spurs see an untapped secondary ball-handler in Anunoby, they should pounce on this opportunity. He’s already an elite 3-and-D wing. If you add playmaking to his game, he’s an unquestioned star.
Alternatively, if the Spurs see a role player, they may hesitate here. Poeltl is valuable to them, and they could select a player with a higher ceiling with that 10th overall pick.
