After a long summer of trade speculation, the Greek Freak may finally be moved. Opposed to other times where things seemed to fall off the tracks for Giannis in Milwaukee, this time feels serious.
With an onslaught of rumors and mock trades set to hit the media in the coming days, the Spurs will undoubtedly be a part of the chatter. The Spurs present one of the best opportunities for Giannis to win now, and the franchise has a massive pool of assets to trade; the writing is on the wall. If San Antonio pulls the trigger, things could get scary in an instant.
The Spurs can not pass on the Hall of Famer
If Giannis does, in fact, become available, the Spurs can’t fall asleep. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Guys like the Greek Freak are hardly ever on the trade market, and the Silver and Black are in the perfect scenario to acquire his talents.
Above all else, the Spurs must maximize their chances of contending with Victor Wembanyama on the roster. With health concerns becoming very real, the Spurs front office can’t waste any time. Wemby is also already good enough to be a number one option on a championship squad; the stage is set for the Spurs to compete this season.
Giannis and the Spurs would dominate immediately
With Giannis on the squad, the Spurs would quickly form the best duo in the NBA. With two of the top players in the league manning the frontcourt and a strong cast of role players around them, they would skyrocket into the top of the championship contention. This new-look team would give the Thunder a serious run for their money.
Giannis and Wembanyama would give Alamo City the most indestructible frontcourt the league has ever seen. Whether it be their ability to smash opponents in the paint, extend their range out deep, or obliterate shots at the rim, there is nothing this duo could not do. Just imagine how impossible it would be for teams to score on this pair.
While the shooting wouldn’t be perfect around the newly formed tandem, it may not matter. Depending on who the Spurs would be able to keep in the backcourt, the Giannis-Wemby duo would have an excellent cast of playmakers by their side. As a collection, buckets would be raining at an unimaginable pace.
No matter what it takes to bring the Greek Freak to San Antonio, the Spurs must do it. There are no risks with a player like Antetokounmpo; he is as surefire as they come. If this team is ready to win now, then making this move would be their best bet.
