The controversial NBA Draft 2025 lottery left the San Antonio Spurs with the 2nd pick. Just as rumors of Giannis Antetokounmpo being traded to the Texas franchise had started circulating. With this selection, the negotiation becomes much easier.
In fact, according to NBA Rumors by Brian Windhorst of ESPN, the Spurs have no intention whatsoever of using their Draft pick. The reason? Dylan Harper, the second-best rookie, doesn't fit into the roster.
"The Spurs' rise to the number 2 pick in the draft could alter the possibility of a trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo. Dylan Harper is the second-best player in the draft, but his position overlaps with that of De'Aaron Fox and Stephon Castle, which could lead them to make a trade for a better fit player while accumulating additional assets," Windhorst said.
Thus, the chances of seeing Giannis Antetokounmpo and Victor Wembanyama in the San Antonio Spurs next season are very high.
