The San Antonio Spurs gave up some depth and assets to get De’Aaron Fox.
However, they’re still in a position to get much better for years to come.
As reported by Evan Sidery of Forbes, they still have a plethora of assets they could potentially trade to land another star.
The Spurs still possess enough future assets to eventually chase another star to pair alongside Victor Wembanyama and De’Aaron Fox:

2026 = unprotected swap with Hawks

The Spurs have their own first-round pick and an Atlanta Hawks first-round pick in 2025.
They have an unprotected pick swap with the Hawks in 2026 and the Hawks’ unprotected first in 2027 from the Dejounte Murray trade.
Then, they have their top-1 protected swap with the Boston Celtics in 2028, plus their own first-rounder in 2029.
If that wasn’t enough, they have <a href="https://sports-info.online/2025/01/30/nba/insider-reveals-trade-package-that-spurs-could-offer-for-deaaron-fox/” title=”Insider Reveals Trade Package That Spurs Could Offer For De'Aaron Fox”>unprotected swap rights with the Dallas Mavericks or Minnesota Timberwolves in 2030 and an unprotected swap with the Sacramento Kings in 2031.
De’Aaron Fox hasn’t emerged as a superstar but is a borderline perennial All-Star.
His ability to drive and attract defensive attention to the rim will give Wembanyama plenty of scoring opportunities.
They should also be deadly in the pick and roll.
Furthermore, this will allow Chris Paul to be efficient and lead the second unit, acting as an extension of the coach whenever the reserves are out there.
They also succeeded in retaining a promising guard like Stephon Castle, and his pairing with Fox in the backcourt looks promising since he has the potential to become one of the best defensive guards in the league.
The Spurs have a bright future ahead of them, but the present also looks quite exciting.
