San Antonio Spurs ‘want to be competitive next year,’ may use picks for trade

“Everything I hear is that they want to be competitive next year, they want to be in the playoffs,” said ESPN’s Jonathan Givony.

It might not be long now until the San Antonio Spurs are making deep playoff runs again, at least based on what we have been hearing from ESPN NBA draft expert Jonathan Wasserman. The ESPN analyst recently made an appearance on “The Ringer’s NBA Draft Show” to talk about what the Spurs might end up doing with their Nos. 4 and 8 lottery picks in the looming 2024 NBA draft.

“Everything I hear is that they want to be competitive next year, they want to be in the playoffs,” shared Givony via Real GM on what he is hearing about what the Spurs could elect to do with their draft assets.

“They’re not looking to make this a two- to three-year process, where they’re in the lottery again next year.”

“For right now, they want to be competitive next year and that’s why I think they’re going to be aggressive with those picks,” he added. “Every free agent, every veteran guard, they all want to play with Victor Wembanyama.”
