It is not exactly a well-kept secret that the San Antonio Spurs’ front office is looking for a point guard to pair with French forward phenom Victor Wembanyama for the future growth of both. But where exactly all the chatter trying to connect them with star Atlanta Hawks floor general Trae Young came from is not entirely clear.
But one thing we are starting to hear rumbles about from reliable corners of the Spurs media sphere is that San Antonio’s executives are not exactly falling over themselves to trade for Young in such a role. Why would they not want one of the better ball movers in the league?
Why this is the case is not entirely clear, but may have to do with the fact that he makes quite a bit of money — and comparable enough facsimiles may be had for less outgoing draft capital and payroll both.
If the San Antonio Spurs draft a big man, should it be Donovan Clingan, or Zach Edey? https://t.co/IzLW7AfAPW pic.twitter.com/XjOhAtYCSv
