JUST IN: Spurs Reunites Wembanyama with Former Teammate and 3X MVP Star in Blockbuster Trade to Form Superteam Amid Uncertainty in Giannis Antetokounmpo Deal…
The San Antonio Spurs are emerging as a potential destination for Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo, as trade rumors swirl this offseason.
With three years remaining on his deal, the two-time MVP could become one of the most significant trade pieces in recent NBA history. While every team is expected to at least inquire, the Spurs stand out as a top suitor due to their young core and future assets.
As San Antonio continues to build around rising star Victor Wembanyama, they’ve reportedly made everyone but Wemby and newly acquired De’Aaron Fox available. Keeping Rookie of the Year Stephon Castle would be ideal, though difficult.
A mock trade suggested by The Athletic outlines the following blockbuster deal:
Trade Breakdown:
-
Bucks receive: Zion Williamson, Keldon Johnson, 2025 first-round pick (from Spurs via Atlanta), 2027 pick swap rights (from Pelicans), 2029 first-round pick (Spurs)
-
Pelicans receive: Devin Vassell, Jeremy Sochan, Pat Connaughton, 2027 first-round pick (Spurs via Atlanta)
-
Spurs receive: Giannis Antetokounmpo
Milwaukee gets a talented but injury-prone young star in Zion and a trove of picks. The Pelicans bolster their wing depth and retain draft flexibility. The Spurs land the most accomplished player in the trade.
Given the trio of Giannis, Wembanyama, and Fox — all subpar shooters — San Antonio may need to start Harrison Barnes and Julian Champagnie for spacing. Castle could lead a strong second unit alongside Blake Wesley, Sandro Mamukelashvili, and their 2025 draft pick.
Though this deal sacrifices some depth, securing three of the league’s top 20 talents — including two potentially in the top five — makes this trade nearly impossible for the Spurs to pass up.
