Why The San Antonio Spurs Do The Deal
As far as the Spurs are concerned, this will depend on how the draft lottery results turn out. There is a possibility that they would not want to make this deal if they are drafting Victor Wembayama.
As much as Wembanyama prefers to play the 4 early in his career, we’re not sure if he’s the best frontcourt partner for Robinson, especially given the fact that he prefers the position.
On the other hand, they might want a lob threat for Scoot Henderson on the other hand. It is likely that the Spurs will have to move Johnson if they are drafting a wing in the draft. The Spurs would end up in a logjam without Devin Vassell – he has shown flashes of potential in his own right.
As a result, Robinson helps to clarify the situation. Furthermore, he is still young enough to be able to improve over time. There might be a case for flipping Johnson for a long-term defensive anchor based on the other events of the summer.

As a matter of fact, Robinson is still young enough to anchor this defense for quite some time to come. For a team that tends to take pride in defense, that’s essential.
