Selected with the 1st pick of the last Draft, Victor Wembanyama will therefore immediately borrow star status from Spurs. The franchise wouldn’t be against pairing him with another big name, though, and was willing to pull out the checkbook for it…
Since Victor Wembanyama officially landed in the NBA, Spurs fans have regained the excitement they lost in recent years. The Frenchman came to give a good dose of hope to a franchise that had been showing mediocre results for some time now. However, he will not be able to immediately carry it on his back and will need the support of his teammates on the field.
We suspect that San Antonio will not finish at the top of the Western Conference next season, but Wemby will not have to experience too many setbacks early in his career. To accompany it as it should, the leaders had also looked into free agency a few weeks ago and the name of a star was mentioned. Its association with the tricolor interior could have done great damage…

Given the recent progress of Austin Reaves, one can understand the interest shown by the front office of San Antonio. His exploits in the jersey of Team USA for the World Cup have only increased the hype surrounding him and could therefore leave Spurs with regrets. The price to pay turned out to be too high according to some, while others lament not having seen this offer materialize:

Reaves not even worth 50 million ☠️☠️
Finally remained at the Lakers, Austin Reaves could have seen the Spurs offer him a real golden bridge this summer. Playing with Victor Wembanyama would probably have been a great experience for him, but above all would have allowed him to hit the jackpot…
