After losing in the NBA Finals in five games against the New York Knicks, the San Antonio Spurs have a lot they need to consider during the offseason.
There’s a lot to like about what the Spurs can build upon after making the NBA Finals with one of the youngest rosters in the league, but if they don’t make the right decisions over the next few months, they could be a team that doesn’t get back for quite some time.
With the draft approaching, the Spurs will have some interesting decisions to make, and according to one reporter, they’re even looking to move up.
“The San Antonio Spurs are said to have interest in packaging their second-round picks (35, 42, 44) to move up into either the late first round or early second round for the 31st or 32nd picks, depending on who is available. Zuby Ejiofor, Joshua Jefferson, and Alex Karaban are viewed as the likeliest early-second-round targets for San Antonio if they do trade up from 42 and 44,” Brett Siegel reported.
Getting a late first-round pick to draft a target would make a lot of sense for the Spurs.
At the same time, I think it’s important that they recognize that they don’t need that many young players anymore. The better idea could be to package those three picks to get a win-now player, unless they absolutely love someone in the late first round or early second round.
