Why The San Antonio Spurs Do The Deal 

In all likelihood, they would not. That’s not a knock on Ball. Henderson will simply be on a rookie contract for several years. Teams covet that kind of cost control. 

Meanwhile, the Spurs obviously wouldn’t do this deal if they landed first overall. In that event, they’d be selecting Victor Wembanyama.

So, this deal only makes sense for them if their pick lands between third and seventh. 

In that event, why not take the sure thing? Ball is an elite point guard. There are concerns about injuries, but at the same time, that can end up being true for anyone.
