However, the Spurs have been at the bottom of the barrel since 2019. In fact, Popovich officially stepped down as the team\u2019s head coach with Mitch Johnson<\/a> taking over his duties.<\/p>\n With coach Johnson at the helm, the Spurs are expected to make major strides during the 2025-26 NBA season. Keeping that in mind, let\u2019s take a look at how well the front office has performed during the offseason.<\/p>\n It\u2019s clear that the Spurs plan to build around Victor Wembanyama<\/a> for the foreseeable future. After suffering a season-ending injury last season, Wembanyama is preparing for a major comeback.<\/p>\n With Wemby as the cornerstone, the Spurs already have multiple young prospects who can aid the French star in leading the team to glory.<\/p>\n However, Wembanyama\u2019s biggest asset is none other than De\u2019Aaron Fox<\/a>. The Spurs have already re-signed Fox to a massive four-year extension<\/a>. But is that it? Well, no.<\/p>\n De\u2019Aaron Fox (Re-signed to a four-year deal)Bismack Biyombo (Re-signed to a one-year deal)Jordan McLaughlin (Re-signed to a one-year deal)Kelly Olynyk (Traded from Washington Wizards<\/a>)Lindy Waters III (Signed a one-year deal)Luke Kornet (Signed a four-year deal)<\/p>\n Aside from Fox\u2019s return, Luke Kornet\u2019s addition should excite the Spurs fanbase. After all, even his former Boston Celtics<\/a> teammate, Derrick White, was upset over Kornet\u2019s departure<\/a>.<\/p>\n Biggest departures from the San Antonio Spurs\u2019 roster With the Spurs finally aiming to contend for an NBA Championship next season, it was obvious that the front office had to let go of a few players.<\/p>\n The most notable departure from the Spurs\u2019 roster is none other than Chris Paul<\/a>. After all, CP3 showed incredible resilience as he played all 82 games last season as a 39-year-old.<\/p>\n He also played a key role in guiding Wembanyama during his short stint with the franchise. On top of Paul\u2019s exit, here are all the players who won\u2019t be on the Spurs\u2019 roster next season.<\/p>\n Chris Paul (Left as a free agent)Blake Wesley (Left as a free agent)Sandro Mamukelashvili (Left as a free agent)Malaki Branham (Traded to Washington Wizards)<\/p>\n![\"Luke](\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GettyImages-2212438430-940x627.jpg\")
