NBA Rumors: The 3 best signing options for San Antonio Spurs

The season has led the San Antonio Spurs to establish themselves as a real contender in the upper zone of the West —excluding the unstoppable Oklahoma City Thunder, which is 21-1. Only one game separates the Spurs, Los Angeles Lakers, Denver Nuggets, and Houston Rockets in the battle for a spot among the top four to secure home-court advantage. With this scenario, the Texans should be willing to take a definitive step towards the elite. And, according to Dan Favale of Bleacher Report, the franchise would have to focus its efforts on trying to acquire some of these top-tier names. **Giannis Antetokounmpo, the most obvious target** Giannis appears on the list as the most obvious option. Favale presents a scenario that would shake up the NBA: a duo formed by Victor Wembanyama and the two-time MVP. An analyst asserts that this combination would be "hell on Earth" for the rest of the teams. It would also benefit the league, he adds, as each game would become a must-see event that would boost League Pass viewership. On the court, the impact would be immense on both ends of the game. However, San Antonio would have to put one of its young perimeter talents —either the reigning Rookie of the Year, Stephon Castle, or the promising Dylan Harper— on the table for Milwaukee to consider a negotiation. Favale argues that, for the sake of basketball, the sacrifice would be worth it. **A reboot in Memphis that makes Jaren Jackson Jr. available?** Another name mentioned is Jaren Jackson Jr. Favale acknowledges that extracting him from Memphis would be equally challenging... unless the ongoing saga with Ja Morant ended in his departure. In that case, the Grizzlies could be tempted to start a total rebuilding process that might involve entertaining offers for their star big man. JJJ would be, both offensively and defensively, a very natural fit alongside Wembanyama, Favale asserts. **Trey Murphy III, an alternative if New Orleans decides to overhaul its project** The third great option would be Trey Murphy III. The New Orleans Pelicans are going through a disastrous season, which could lead to a profound change in their roster. In that context, Murphy could end up on the market. The forward, who averages over 20 points for the second consecutive season, would bring a huge offensive dimension to the Spurs. His scoring ability "would elevate San Antonio's offense to the highest level," explains Favale.
