OFFICIAL: Spurs President Gregg Popovich Is Determine To Rebuilding Spurs to a Fortress With The Signing of NBA Veteran Superstar and Two-Time NBA MVP Winner.
Even though they were without head coach Gregg Popovich for much of the season, the San Antonio Spurs improved significantly from 2024 to 2025, moving from 22 to 34 victories. Of course, Victor Wembanyama’s ongoing progress, as well as the arrival of Rookie of the Year winner Stephon Castle, had a significant impact.
However, the Spurs may be ready to pounce, transitioning from a marginal lottery team to a playoff contender in a competitive Western Conference. ESPN NBA insider Brian Windhorst believes the Spurs are a ‘club to monitor’ in the potential Giannis Antetokounmpo trade.
“I’d like to point out two teams: the San Antonio Spurs and the Houston Rockets. They both entered the lottery. I understand Houston is still playing. They might win tonight. They are in the lottery. They have Phoenix’s draft pick and a diverse roster. What if they break into the top four? Look out there. The other team is the San Antonio Spurs. They have two options in this lottery. Now, combined, they have only a 30% chance of making the top four. What if one of them does? What if they both do? What if they both do? All of a sudden, San Antonio had Victor Wembanyama, De’Aaron Fox, and a possibly game-changing draft pick in Stephon Castle, the Rookie of the Year.”
Even the prospect of teaming the ‘Greek Freak’ with the ‘Alien’ should worry opponents. Suddenly, the Spurs would have a top-five player as well as another talent with boundless potential. Furthermore, having a proven veteran superstar who is still in his prime could help Wembanyama accelerate his career trajectory, allowing him to obtain vital postseason experience early on.
However, the Milwaukee Bucks would first have to signal that they are open for business, which may be difficult for a franchise that just won its second NBA Finals with the help of its two-time NBA MVP.
