The NBA world is a buzz. Everyone’s talking about one player – and he hasn’t played a minute of NBA basketball yet. Of course, we’re talking about Victor Wembanyama. This kid has a chance to revolutionize basketball.
We’ve never seen a player with this combination of size and skill come into the league. Wembanyama will be a San Antonio Spur. It’s fitting. The Spurs built a dynasty around the all-time great Tim Duncan. Now, Wembanyama gets to carry that torch.
Will the Spurs be cautious with him in year one? It’s possible. San Antonio may not rush to put a playoff team around Wembanyama. Regardless, they could use an upgrade in the backcourt.
Anfernee Simons could be an intriguing potential trade target for the Spurs to consider. He averaged 21.1 points, 4.1 assists and 2.6 rebounds in 62 games this season. However, after the Blazers added Scoot Henderson, does it make sense to keep three guards with Damian Lillard included?

It still remains to be seen if Lillard will end up being on the move this summer, but if not, Simons would be a logical trade candidate to reconfigure the roster.
Would this three-team trade sending Simons to San Antonio work for all parties involved?
