The San Antonio Spurs have one of the best players in the NBA with Victor Wembanyama, the reigning Rookie of the Year and potential Defensive Player of the Year this season.
But they aren’t content to remain the same and want to capitalize on the talent of their young roster.
According to new reporting from Jake Fischer, via Legion Hoops, the Spurs have “envisioned pairing Josh Giddey” of the Chicago Bulls with Wembanyama “down the road.”

Giddey is a 22-year-old versatile player who could enjoy many more years in the NBA.
He could help form a long-term partnership with Wembanyama that might lead the Spurs to multiple playoff runs and maybe a championship.
This year, he has averaged 11.4 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 6.7 assists for the Bulls, shooting 44.2 percent from the field.
This is his first season with the Bulls after three years playing for the Oklahoma City Thunder.
He has fit in well with the Bulls rotation, but the team might be on the verge of changes and trades.
Will they part ways with Giddey and send him to the Spurs or is that something they’d do in the future?
This news confirms that the Spurs are eager to help Wembanyama and get him more support.
It’s just a matter of who they pursue and when they do it.
They might trade for De’Aaron Fox this season or in the summer, but maybe they take a different route.
No matter what happens, they will try to acquire players who can work well with Wembanyama and become the team’s second option.
