Should the San Antonio Spurs keep or trade their Nos. 4 and 8 overall lottery picks in the 2024 NBA draft? San Antonio’s front office is reportedly looking to speed up their rebuild after seeing what French forward phenom Victor Wembanyama was capable of while still in his rookie season.
Open to moving those picks if that is what presents as the best opportunity to improve as a ball club in a hurry, we would not at all be surprised if the Spurs elect to move at least one of those two lottery picks, if not both of them. And that is the perspective of Bleacher Report NBA analyst Zach Buckley as well.
“The Spurs can and should poke around for a premier playmaker, and they might already be doing so,” writes Buckley. “If San Antonio isn’t trading for a playmaker, then drafting one is a must.”

In his eyes, the proper approach is to “draft at least one” of the two lottery picks, but San Antonio ought to be on the hunt for help with at least one of those selections.
