What are the San Antonio Spurs top three targets for the NBA’s 2024 trade deadline? According to Bleacher Report’s Zach Buckley, they should be draft picks, former Spurs guard Dejounte Murray, and Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes.
“Having someone who can ease the burden on Victor Wembanyama would be big, though only the Spurs know whether that’s enough of a prize to part with multiple firsts,” writes the B/R analyst of a potential Murray reunion. “San Antonio could sift through the bargain bin for a ball-mover, which potentially puts Hayes on the radar.”
“He’s been a colossal disappointment in Detroit, but get him out of that situation and away from the expectations that came from being the No. 7 pick in 2020, and maybe he could make his mark as a defender and distributor.”

We are of the mind that spending too many resources for what will amount for nostalgia’s sake in the case of Murray, but agree a floor general ought to be in the cards.
Keeping the proverbial powder dry for a big move when the Spurs are closer to competing is good business, so bargaining hunting for point guards makes sense for San Antonio.
