SAN ANTONIO – With the NBA trade deadline approaching, the Spurs find themselves at the center of growing speculation and attention. Several league insiders have said that while San Antonio appears satisfied with its current roster, the front office is fielding a lot more calls and that if the right deal comes along – or if the Spurs can facilitate a trade – they might be more inclined to make a move.
The intrigue around the organization is only growing, thanks in large part to Victor Wembanyama and his potential to reshape the franchise. As NBA insider Jake Fischer revealed during a livestream, San Antonio has quickly become one of the most desirable destinations in the league.
“Agents want to get their players next to Victor Wembanyama,” Fischer said. “They want their guy to be the number two player, the co-star, to Victor.”
Wembanyama is in just his second season, but his combination of size, skill, and basketball IQ has already started to elevate San Antonio’s trajectory – arguably sooner than some expected. Fischer highlighted how guards and young players in particular see the Spurs as the perfect landing spot to grow alongside the budding superstar.
“Until the Spurs have a clear-cut number two co-star guards and young players are going to want to go to San Antonio,” Fischer explained.
What truly sets the Spurs apart is their unparalleled success at developing players into champions. From Tony Parker to Kawhi Leonard, San Antonio has built a reputation as the league’s most reliable incubator for raw talent. This legacy of growth and success remains a powerful draw for players looking to maximize their potential.
“The Spurs are not sellers at this juncture,” Fischer noted, adding that the team is embracing its veterans like Harrison Barnes and Chris Paul while preparing for long-term success.
The blend of experienced leadership, youthful energy, and developmental opportunities makes the Spurs’ roster one of the most intriguing in the league.
The Spurs’ reputation as a developmental powerhouse is stronger than ever, but Wembanyama’s arrival has elevated the franchise to new heights. Whether through free agency, trades, or the draft, the organization is capitalizing on this momentum to attract players and be part of something bigger.

“Agents and players are actively working to align their clients with the Spurs, recognizing the potential for personal and professional growth,” Fischer revealed.
With the trade deadline looming, all eyes are on San Antonio to see if they’ll make a splash – or simply continue building from within “without skipping steps.”
