The San Antonio Spurs have a new organizational goal – build a championship-caliber team around Victor Wembanyama. They picked the 19-year-old Frenchman with the first pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. He’s the most hyped-up prospect since LeBron James and projects to be one of the best players in the league.
While the Spurs didn’t make any major additions to the roster this summer, they’ll have a chance to add serious help next summer. They should still have a solid amount of cap space and will have the necessary assets to make trades, too. Sam LaFrance of Air Alamo recently suggested the idea of San Antonio targeting Pascal Siakam next summer.
He believes Siakam would bring star power and championship experience to the Spurs.
“The 29-year-old is coming off of a solid season in Toronto. He suited up in 71 games for the Raptors, playing about 37.4 minutes each time. Siakam averaged 24.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 5.8 assists per game, while shooting 48.0% from the field and 32.4% from beyond the arc.
“Though his touch from distance could use work, those are some numbers that San Antonio would gladly pay for. If they were to pursue Siakam, they’d probably have to offer a three or four year contract worth $120-150 million.
“It’s a steep price tag, but the Cameroonian would bring added championship experience to a young Spurs team,” LaFrance wrote.
If the Spurs have the money to make an offer and Siakam would be interested in sticking around long-term, should they try to bring in the two-time All-Star next offseason?
