Why The San Antonio Spurs Do The Deal
There is a shadow over every decision the Spurs could make this summer. It’s about 7’4, and it’s French.
The Spurs will be selecting Victor Wembanyama with the first overall pick in the NBA draft. That much is obvious. Now, it’s a matter of what they do next.
Should they opt for a slow rebuild? Perhaps. Another season in the lottery could arm the Spurs with Wembanyama’s co-star in the 2024 NBA Draft.

On the other hand, the Spurs have got their cornerstone. Why not push all in? Pairing Wembanyama with an elite playmaker will help the Spurs get the most out of him from day one. If they want to make an immediate return to relevancy, this deal can help them get there.
If nothing else, seeing the Spurs back in the playoffs will restore some balance in the universe.
