Passionately passionate about basketball, he left to live in San Antonio to follow Victor Wembanyama’s Spurs after a diploma at the IEJ, his gaze constantly fixed on the NBA, both on the field and on the statistics and contracts.
Victor Wembanyama surpassed all expectations in his first season in the NBA. To the point of drastically accelerating the reconstruction of the San Antonio Spurs? Maybe. If the Texas franchise decides to move up a gear now, here are three transfer ideas that could help them take a step forward.
Many Spurs fans are hoping for a transfer this summer to find a star to pair with Victor Wembanyama. The franchise, which has numerous draft rounds and promising young people, is in an ideal position to make a big move if it decides to do so. Here are three potential offseason targets from Saint Anthony.
1. Trae Young
The rumors linking Trae Young and the Spurs have been a constant background noise this season. The team even contacted the Atlanta Hawks before the trade deadline to inquire about the availability of the leader. Among the best three-point shooters in the NBA, the three-time All-Star could change everything on offense Saint Anthony. And its complementarity with Victor Wembanyama is obvious.
Young has already shown great respect for Wembanyama this year, but doubts remain about his ability to fit into the franchise’s culture. Very weak in defense and with a bad reputation regarding his behavior, the leader does not really seem to fit the DNA of the Spurs. In addition, its very high price could constitute a blockage.
2. Dejounte Murray
HAS Atlantaanother playmaker could be of interest Saint Anthony. Dejounte Murray also appears to be a plausible option and knows the organization very well, having spent the first six years of his career with it before transferring to the Hawks. He was very popular with his teammates at the time, notably Keldon Johnsonwho is still part of the team.
Murray may be less talented than his teammate on offense, but he is much better on defense. If his franchise decides to part ways with him, he could be much more accessible – even if the managers probably won’t sell him off if they negotiate with the franchise that sold them at a high price in 2022.
3. Lauri Markkanen
Nothing indicates that the Jazz is ready to give in Lauri Markkanen, who became the heart of their team. However, the season was difficult for Utahwhich has regressed slightly, and the president Danny Ainge could be tempted to redefine its plans by transferring its star. And if he is available, the Finnish winger would be an ideal target for Spurs.
Markkanen, who was an All-Star for the first time in his career in 2022-23, is averaging 24.5 points and 8.4 rebounds since joining the Jazz two years ago. A formidable and very versatile striker, he would really raise the level of the franchise and be a major threat alongside Victor Wembanyama.
