The excitement around Victor Wembanyama has caused the media to behave in incredibly unusual ways these days. Kevin Garnett was just one example of everyone’s desire to see its growth process accelerate. When you see greatness, you recognize it for what it is: special – and when you have something special in front of you, you want it at its peak. You want more. But San Antonio is executing the right plan for longevity, so everyone needs to calm down.
Spurs fans have never seen so much speculation surrounding the Alamo City. From big-name players to superstars, it feels like half the league is tied to San Antonio. The possibilities seem endless. Some options would be perfect additions to what they’re building, others, not so much.
There was noise floating on the internet For months, San Antonio has been talked about as a possible destination for Curry if he ever leaves Golden State. While some may find the idea of the greatest shooter of all time leaving the Warriors far-fetched, stranger things have happened.
Curry is 36, but he’s still one of the best players in the game and he wants to compete for the title. Golden State has tried to make changes to help him in that mission, but it hasn’t gone well for them this offseason, and they’ve failed to sign big names like Lauri Markkanen.
If they still struggle to qualify for the play-in tournament, a mutual decision to part ways is very plausible. But they have all of their first-round picks over the next five years, so they’re not desperate for draft assets. That means they could look to honor any request Steph makes if he has a desired destination, and there’s no telling if Curry would be interested in joining San Antonio.
Given that the Warriors are not in dire straits, they would look to make sure they get enough In exchange for the best player on their franchise. Any offer less than an absolute sum would be disrespectful to Steph, but that shouldn’t be the Spurs’ burden. Not to mention the amount of money that would have to be spent on an aging star. You only do that if you’re in a position of strength, putting together a favorable deal. That wouldn’t be an option in this situation, so the Spurs shouldn’t even consider it.
If there’s one thing fans should have learned from watching LeBron over the last few years, including the Olympics, it’s that he must always be a major part of the equation to maximize his talents. He’s not a player you relegate to the background or someone you play as a mere piece of the puzzle. The 39-year-old superstar is still a force to be reckoned with, but in spurts. That’s not something the Spurs should be looking for.
But the same goes for James as it does for Curry; There have been rumors that Spurs The Lakers could be a possible destination for the King if he decides to leave Los Angeles. The Lakers have been in lockstep with the Warriors as a fringe team, battling for a spot in the play-in tournament. Los Angeles seems to have lost some of its luster as they too have struggled to acquire pieces to elevate the team during the offseason.
So the reason for his departure would be the same as Curry’s, and he has a history of doing so. NBA fans are aware of the deep respect LeBron has for Coach Pop, so there are several reasons why the Spurs would come up in these conversations, including their experience managing older players.
But the Spurs would have to shed some young players to accommodate James. Jeremy Sochan, for example, is not a good fit for LeBron. He needs more reliable shooters around him, and the Polish Prince is, no doubt, I’m working on itBut until that is proven, there will be doubts. But Sochan is a perfect fit for Spurs right now, and he’s not going anywhere – and he shouldn’t.
No. Spurs have no problem taking their anger out on any of these all-time greats, with all due respect.
