Spurs Eye Giannis in Bold Move to Build Championship Core Around Wembanyama, per Report
Could Giannis Antetokounmpo be the next superstar to join Victor Wembanyama in San Antonio?
According to NBA insider Jake Fischer, the San Antonio Spurs are expected to inquire about the availability of Giannis as they look to fast-track their rise into title contention. With Wembanyama blossoming into a generational talent, the Spurs front office appears ready to push their chips to the center of the table — and Giannis could be the perfect complement.
This potential pursuit isn’t without substance. The Spurs have quietly assembled one of the most enviable asset stockpiles in the NBA, boasting 36 future draft picks over the next seven years, including multiple first-rounders. Combined with a clean salary cap sheet and a roster filled with young, promising talent, San Antonio is perfectly positioned to make a splashy move.
The idea of pairing Wembanyama, a 7’4” unicorn with defensive dominance and offensive upside, alongside a two-time MVP and NBA champion in Giannis is enough to send shockwaves through the league. It would instantly shift the Spurs from a rebuilding team to a Western Conference powerhouse — and possibly, a title favorite.
For Milwaukee, any talk of moving Giannis would signal the start of a major rebuild. While there’s been no formal indication from the Bucks that Giannis is available, speculation has grown amid coaching changes and early playoff exits.
Still, San Antonio’s disciplined front office, led by GM Brian Wright and the legendary Gregg Popovich, won’t make reckless moves. But if a Giannis trade becomes even remotely realistic, they have the tools and vision to make it happen.
The Spurs aren’t just rebuilding — they’re reloading. And they might just be aiming for the top.
