After two seasons without playoffs, the Spurs will start again on a new cycle since DeMar DeRozan will leave, and LaMarcus Aldridge left the franchise during the season, before finally retiring. The accounts are in the green, and San Antonio can afford two very good free agents to move forward.
As a winger, we have been talking about the Kelly Oubre Jr track for several weeks, and the San Antonio Express News confirm this option. The interest would even be mutual, and people close to the player believe the Warriors winger could explode in Gregg Popovich’s systems. He would be titular there while Golden State promises him only a role of sixth man. He could even be the first option in attack, and thus take over from DeRozan.
According to the daily, Oubre Jr. is looking for an annual salary of around $ 20 million, and few teams can offer him. Besides the Spurs, the Knicks, the Mavericks and the Heat have the money to afford the winger. A priori, Miami and Dallas have other players in sight, and more particularly a big playmaker like Kyle Lowry.
