With options aplenty, San Antonio Spurs more unpredictable than ever

Now that the Spurs have options, we’re going to learn a few things about them. About how close to winning they really think they are. About how much they’re willing to change who they’ve been. And about how their long-term plan evolves when the next step isn’t obvious. They’ve never entered a summer like this one before, which is what makes the next couple of months so unpredictable. It’s not just that they need to figure out who to take with a pair of top-10 draft picks.

The best Spurs coverage in Alamo City, delivered to your inbox For the better part of two decades, Tim Duncan made the offseasons simple. Even after he retired, it was easy to guess what the Spurs would do every summer. In 2018, for instance, everybody knew they had to trade Kawhi Leonard. In 2021, everybody knew they had to deal DeMar DeRozan. In 2022, the obvious move was to bottom out for the Victor Wembanyama lottery.

Draft prospects Rob Dillingham, Reed Sheppard envision playing with Spurs' Victor Wembanyama Option 2: Use this year’s picks — plus more future first-rounders and a young player or two — to acquire a disgruntled superstar point guard, such as Atlanta’s Trae Young. Option 3: Trade a smaller package of picks for a less-expensive, established point guard with solid sidekick potential, such as Cleveland’s Darius Garland or Atlanta’s Dejounte Murray.

Spurs brain trust all smiles after lottery yields pair of top-10 picks If they switch it up? It could mean they believe the core around Wembanyama is ready to make a leap. Or, if they go big and bold and trade a chunk of that core, it could mean the opposite. And because we can’t say with any degree of certainty what they’re going to do this summer? That shows the Spurs have changed already.
