On April 19, Beijing time, Spurs player Wembanyama gave an exclusive interview to The Ringer's Kevin O'Connor, O'Connor asked if Wemban's players had made him an offer to work with the Spurs, and the latter did not shy away from admitting this fact. This season, Wembanyama played the peak of his debut in his first season in the league, and also set some incredible records, averaging 21.6 points per game, 10.6 rebounds per game, and 3.9 assists and 1.2 steals. However, the Spurs' record is not satisfactory, considering the lack of star players in their backcourt, it is widely believed that the Spurs will upgrade the roster for Wembans in the offseason and officially attack the playoffs and even the championship. The American media bleachers also gave a reasonable suggestion, write a recruitment plan about the Spurs offseason, and see if it is reasonable!
Curry is the first choice, followed by a 5-for-1 with the Hawks, chasing Trae Young
In the position of point guard, according to American media reports, the Spurs' first choice is the Warriors' Curry, due to the uncertain future of the Warriors, whether Curry will choose to leave the Bay Area has also become ambiguous, if Curry decides to leave, then, the Spurs will pursue Curry without reservation, after all, the picture of "Cuban" teaming up is enough to cause a tsunami in the league.
Of course, the Hawks also have options, and Trae Young would be a good choice if they can't get Curry, who is averaging 26.8 points per game this season, and has also improved significantly in terms of playmaking, averaging nearly 11 assists per game, in addition, his three-point shooting rate of 37.3% is fully in line with the Spurs' requirements. Trae Young has always wanted to be the second Curry in recent seasons, but he does not have such a good configuration as Curry, and if he cooperates with an offensive and defensive interior like Wemban, Trae Young will undoubtedly play more comfortably. In order to get Trae Young, the Spurs had to send away Jeremy Sochan, Trae Jones, a 2025 first-round pick (Hawks), a 2027 first-round pick (Hawks), and a 2026 second-round pick. Such a chip is enough to impress the Eagles management!
The second deal, 3-for-1 chasing Jazz star Markkanen
With the point guard out of the way, the Spurs will next have to upgrade to the No. 4 spot, and they can send away Keldon Johnson, a 2025 first-round pick (Spurs), and a 2027 first-round pick (Spurs) to get Markkanen. Markkanen has been a stellar season, averaging 23.2 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 55 games while shooting 39.9 percent from beyond the three-point line. Marca's presence can force opponents to move their defense beyond the three-point line, giving Trae Young and Wemban more opportunities to score in the paint. The versatile Marca has a multitude of scoring methods, whether it's mid-range shots, three-pointers, or hitting the basket, reducing the pressure on Trae Young and Wemban's offensive end.
The third stroke, the Pelicans 1 for 5, helped the Spurs become giants
Due to Zion's injury, the Pelicans' playoff journey is walking on thin ice, once they can't beat the Kings, then the Pelicans' future may be uncertain, Zion may leave to join a high-profile big ball market, and the Pelicans have a good chance of rebuilding the team. The Spurs could take the opportunity to send Graham, Malaki Branham, Blake Wesley, a 2029 first-round pick, a 2028 second-round pick (Pelicans), a 2029 second-round pick (Pelicans) to Herbert Jones. Jones is averaging 11 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.4 steals per game this season, shooting 41.8% from three-point range.
Write to the end:
Once these deals are made, the Spurs will form a strong lineup starting with Trae Young, Vassell, Jones, Markkanen, Wembanyama, Trae Young can organize and break points, Jones can defend and shoot threes, Marca can hold the ball and attack with the frame, Popovich will build a starter who can play, can attack, defend, and can grab rebounds, such a starting lineup is enough to change the pattern of the Western Conference, especially when the old teams such as the Warriors, Lakers, and Clippers are in decline!
