The San Antonio Spurs have both been overachieving and underwhelming this season. What offseason moves should they be thinking about?<\/p>\n
The Fantasy series looks at the featured team\u2019s season statistical performance and explores offseason possibilities.<\/p>\n
2025-2026 Key Season Stats<\/p>\n
Victor Wembanyama \u2013 25 points per game, 11.5 rebounds per game, 3 blocks per game<\/p>\n
Stephon Castle \u2013 16.7 points per game, 7.4 assists per game, 1 steal per game<\/p>\n
De\u2019Aaron Fox \u2013 18.6 points per game, 6.2 assists per game, 1.2 steals per game<\/p>\n
A year ago, coming from a 34-48 mediocre season, everyone expected the San Antonio Spurs to eventually play in the NBA Finals once they have learned, and the young draft picks-turned-key players have developed sufficiently.<\/p>\n
Nobody thought it would happen right away, but it did\u2013and for some stretches, everyone thought that Wemby and company were here to take it all. The Attack on Wemby meme seemed so appropriate.<\/p>\n
The crazy thing was that the Spurs were leading for most of the NBA Finals games against the Knicks. They just did not know how to close out games\u2013they three-hunted way too much and faded in the fourth quarter. That game 4 meltdown was as epic as it was tragic.<\/p>\n
But here we are\u2013the young Spurs are runners up to the Knicks, and they have an offseason to do some moves addressing their weaknesses.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This season, the Spurs relied heavily on their defensive play anchored by the reigning NBA defensive player of the year, Victor Wembanyama. The problem is, their lead defensive assistant coach Sean Sweeney has since been hired by the Orlando Magic as the new head coach. Coach Sweeney has been so successful during the season and the postseason\u2013-imagine containing the likes of Anthony Edwards, Deni Avdija, Chet Holmgren, and the league MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander\u2014and he leaves a void on that bench.<\/p>\n
The Wembanyama-Castle-Harper core is a legitimate big three, but the postseason exposed their big weakness (pun not intended): their sordid, limited big man rotation, which is kind of funny considering they have Luke Kornet, Bismack Biyombo, and Mason Plumlee on the bench. The Spurs need another big man who has a bit of gravity to help ease the burden on Wembanyama, and there are a bunch of names on the list: Aaron Gordon, a reliable physical big who could shoot threes? How about Michael Porter Jr. (bad fit for the Spurs culture?) Giannis, perhaps? How about a ring-chasing veteran, like perhaps the King himself?<\/p>\n
The possibilities are interesting, and you can count on the Spurs organization to do their homework and go with the best fit. They have to do this properly to get over that hump.<\/p>\n
