Spurs have said multiple times (owner Peter J Holt, GM Brian Wright, Pop) that they're not going to rush anything, and their track record backs their claims. They can monitor the market and maybe make a move, but it's naive to think they're going to throw everything they have at the first available target "just because".
I dont believe they will tank next year. I think this offseason they start moving towards winning again. You can't keep losing with Wemby on the roster. Its a bad look.
Next year will be Wemby's 2nd and he's still not a true no. 1 player on a contender, he'll get there by years 3/4 most likely. Spurs highest pick (besides Wemby) was Sochan at no. 9, they need to add talent and these next 2 drafts could provide the opportunity to do just that. I don't expect them to pull another "Sochan at PG" shameless tanking move, but they've already said they're trying "to build a dynasty" (owner's exact words) rather than pivoting quickly, and all these Trae Young proposals seem like desperation moves that don't fit that mold. I'd be shocked if anything like that happens.
SO you don't agree in moving towards winning next year? You don't have to trade for a Superstar to move towards winning.
