Will the ‘Wemby effect’ bring top NBA free agents to the San Antonio Spurs?

Signing with the Spurs could be a cheat code for top talent to assure themselves of adding at least a title or two to their resume.

Will the so-called “Wemby effect” bring the top NBA free agents needed to restart a dynasty built around French rookie phenom Victor Wembanyama to the San Antonio Spurs? In an era where free agency as a concept is all but dead, with only lower-tier stars at best changing teams via free agency in recent seasons, that may be a fraught path to building a contender.
