San Antonio Spurs Trade Idea Pairs Victor Wembanyama With $196 Million All Star
San Antonio Spurs Trade Idea Pairs Victor Wembanyama With $196 Million All Star originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The San Antonio Spurs are at an important inflection point in their franchise. Just a few weeks shy of the NBA Draft, where they hold two lottery picks, the Spurs have to decide who they're going to pair with Victor Wembanyama, De'Aaron Fox, and Stephon Castle - either through the draft, trade, or free agency. Advertisement The Spurs were primed for a playoff spot before injuries derailed their 2024-25 campaign, which ended up with them earning the No. 2 and No. 14 overall picks. Many analysts believe the Spurs will draft Rutgers guard Dylan Harper with the No. 2 overall pick, but the No. 14 pick could be on the move. Bleacher Report's Andy Bailey recently proposed a trade that would send Lauri Markkanen to the Spurs, pairing him with Wembanyama. San Antonio Spurs receive: Lauri Markkanen Utah Jazz receive: Devin Vassell, Harrison Barnes, 2025 first-round pick (No. 14), 2029 first-round pick, 2032 first-round pick swap Advertisement "For the Spurs," Bailey said, "this is a heck of a fallback if they aren't able to land Giannis [Antetokounmpo]. Markkanen's finishing ability, both as an outside shooter and dunker, would draw tons of attention from Victor Wembanyama." Markkanen is a former lottery pick himself, being taken with the No. 7 overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft. It took a little while for Markkanen to get going, but after landing with the Utah Jazz, Markkanen earned his first All-Star nod and was named the NBA's Most Improved Player in 2023. In his three years with the Jazz, Markkanen has averaged 23.0 points and 7.7 rebounds per game, while shooting 38.0 percent from three on eight attempts per game. Markkanen had a bit of a down year in 2024-25, riddled by injuries. In 47 games, he shot just 42.3 percent from the field and 34.6 percent from three, albeit in 8.5 attempts per game. Advertisement Markkanen had the second-worst shooting numbers at the rim of his career last season, making 63.8 percent of his shots from within three feet of the basket. It's a fine mark on its own, but compared to the prior two seasons, where he made 71.7 and 72.4 percent of those looks, respectively, it's a little concerning. The package itself may be a bit of an overpay for San Antonio. Vassell is a valuable 3-and-D archetype with some ball skills that really elevate his value and scoring ceiling. Sending him along with a lottery pick, another first, and a swap might be a bit much.

NBA Fans React to Latest Victor Wembanyama Update
NBA Fans React to Latest Victor Wembanyama Update originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Victor Wembanyama, even before he entered the NBA, has been one of the most grounded athletes in the world. He makes time to meditate, do yoga, and read, specifically science fiction. Advertisement This summer, as he prepares for his third NBA season and the possibility of representing France at EuroBasket, he has vacationed in both Costa Rica and China, and was spotted at a Shaolin temple with a shaved head, dining with the monks. Of course, fans reacted to the news with amusement, curiosity, and concern for the rest of the NBA. If he can become deeply meditative and reflective, he will have another mental advantage over his opponents. "Wemby about to average 40," posted Jemele Hill. "This mf Wemby had one freak injury stop him from making the playoffs and went on the Doctor Strange path," added another fan. Advertisement "Wemby's mindset is similar to that of Kareem's," chimed in a third. Wembanyama, physically, has been compared to Kevin Durant, Hakeem Olajuwon, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Mark Eaton. Mentally, it seems like he is incomparable to anyone, although Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is known as one of the more grounded stars of his generation, focused purely on winning throughout his career. While it's unclear how much time Wemby will spend with the monks, it's safe to say that his game next season will be rooted in ruthless effecency and leaving everything on the court. The NBA, clearly, has never had a superstar quite like him before. Advertisement Check out the Inside the Spurs home page for more news, analysis, and must-read articles.

2025 NBA Finals MVP odds: Can Gilgeous-Alexander pull off MVP trifecta?
The NBA regular-season MVP will look to pull off the double dip in the Finals. Oklahoma City and Indiana are set to face off in this year's NBA Finals, after each team somewhat breezed through their respective playoff matchups, with both going 12-4 so far in the postseason. Now, the Larry O'Brien Trophy is on the line, as well as the Bill Russell Finals MVP award. Will league MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander complete the MVP sweep? Let's check out the odds at DraftKings Sportsbook as of June 9. 2025 NBA Finals MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: -475 (bet $10 to win $12.11 total)Tyrese Haliburton: +600 (bet $10 to win $70 total)Pascal Siakam: +1900 (bet $10 to win $200 total)Jalen Williams: +5000 (bet $10 to win $510 total)Chet Holmgren: +8000 (bet $10 to win $810 total) SGA is heavily favored to take home the hardware, not only because he is the league MVP, but because his Thunder are heavily favored to win the Finals, at -525. Only once has a player won Finals MVP while playing on the losing team: the Lakers' Jerry West in 1969. In NBA history, 10 players have won both regular-season MVP and Finals MVP. That list includes LeBron James (2012, 2013), Tim Duncan (2003), Shaquille O'Neal (2000), Hakeem Olajuwon (1994), Michael Jordan (1991, 1992, 1996, 1998), Magic Johnson (1987), Larry Bird (1984, 1986), Moses Malone (1983), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (1971) and Willis Reed (1970). As noted, Jordan accomplished the feat four times, the most in league history, followed by James and Bird, who both did it twice. However, SGA does have a chance to make some history this year. He could become the first player in NBA history to win regular-season MVP, Western Conference finals MVP and NBA Finals MVP. The Earvin "Magic" Johnson Trophy (West finals MVP) and Larry Bird Trophy (East finals MVP) have only been in existence for four years, meaning the likes of Jordan, Abdul-Jabbar and others from the list above (everyone except James) never had a chance to win it during their playing days. Nikola Jokić came closest to pulling it off in 2023, when he won Western Conference finals MVP and NBA Finals MVP. However, Joel Embiid won regular-season MVP that year. As for other names on the oddsboard, Pascal Siakam was named Eastern Conference finals MVP, meaning he still has a chance to win two MVP awards in one season if his Pacers can pull off the upset — or, if he goes Jerry West-mode.
