NBA Insider Says Victor Wembanyama Likes The Trae Young To Spurs Idea

The San Antonio Spurs need a point guard, and they have the draft picks to do so this season; however, what if they want to go out and trade for a player? Well, General Manager Brian Wright is eyeing up Trae Young.

Young is an experienced point guard who is a 25/10 player, which is the exact production a team like the rebuilding Spurs would want to have. They’ve made a deal with the Atlanta Hawks before, that being the Dejounte Murray trade, and wouldn’t be afraid to do it again.

While mulling on that idea, Victor Wembanyama is all-in on that idea. The alien finds it “intriguing.”

“I will say I’ve talked to people who know Wemby who have indicated he is at least intrigued by that idea,” said Tim MacMahon on The Hoop Collective podcast. “Now, intrigued by that idea and pounding the table are two very different things. I have no idea whether Gregg Popovich would be intrigued by the idea.”

If key members are interested, then Wright may pull the trigger. But, if they want to go the draft route, then they’ll hold off on making a deal with Atlanta’s General Manager Landry Fields.

Also, despite Young’s serious defensive liabilities, there is a growing theory that Wemby is great enough defensively to pick up the slack. If they don’t find that to be favorable, they could look at prospect Stephon Castle.

According to Marc Stein, by 2028, Luka Doncic will be considered to have played four years with the Los Angeles Lakers and will allow him to have a full no-trade clause for his next deal included.

This past Saturday saw Doncic sign a three-year, $165 million contract extension with the Lakers. The deal does include a player option.

By him signing the three-year deal now, this will open him up for a five-year supermax bubbling over $400 million. Plus, in addition to the massive payday, including the potential no-trade clause.

Right now in the National Basketball Association, only two players have a no-trade clause: LeBron James and Damian Lillard. Bradley Beal used to have a no-trade until buying out his contract with the Phoenix Suns to join the Los Angeles Clippers.

Los Angeles has fully committed to Doncic being their franchise player and their post-LeBron answer.

According to multiple reports, spearheaded by ESPN’s Shams Charania, the situation with Giannis Antetokounmpo and his future with the team remains uncertain.

“Sources tell me there’s still nothing set in stone about whether Giannis Antetokounmpo will stay in Milwaukee, or whether he will be leaving,” said Charania. “And so he’s continuing to evaluate his future. I reported it in mid May that he’s evaluating whether his best fit is in Milwaukee, or is it elsewhere? And that process is continuing.

‘”There’s been some very real conversations over the last week or so. The constant question that Giannis has, though, is: ‘Can I win a championship with this roster? Is this roster going to be the one for this upcoming year and 2026-27?’ He wants to win a second championship. So he’s asking that question over and over. There are multiple teams waiting in the wings, potentially, if Giannis this offseason still makes that decision.”

His future has been unstable since the team lost in the postseason and during their attempt of trying to reshape the roster to compete for a championship.

It’s unclear when he will make a decision about his future, but, for now, it remains very unstable without a clear ending.
