If the Hawks make Trae Young available in trade talks this offseason, the Spurs will show interest, per @ShamsCharania on @PatMcAfeeShow.

I don’t know who among Spurs Twitter (or X or whatever) needs to hear this, but we ought to stop falling for the engagement farming when it comes to Victor Wembanyama and “timelines.”
It’s all gobbledygook meant to keep you riled up.
Ignore it. Your mental health will thank you – 4:09 PM

How did the Spurs end up with a pair of games in Paris next season? They drafted Victor Wembanyama, obviously.
But the team’s French connection runs deeper than its most recent superstar. Story here, with quotes from CEO R.C. Buford:

The Victor Wembanyama-led Spurs announced today that they will play two regular-season games against Indiana in Paris next season in late January … doubling the annual recent norm for the NBA in France.

Official: Pacers will play the Spurs next January … in Paris
Jan. 23 and Jan. 25.
This has a significant meaning for Frenchman Victor Wembanyama. It will be the Pacers’ first international trip since going to India during the 2019 preseason. – 10:40 AM

Larry Nance Jr. on Chet-Wemby comparisons: “Those 2 being compared to each other is just silly. I get it, they’re both similarish build, similarish playstyle, similarish in terms of their draft class. It’s not fair to either one of them because they’re both incredible players.” – 4:52 PM

Tom Orsborn: The Spurs announced they will play two regular-season games in Paris next season against Indiana on Jan. 23 and Jan. 25, 2025. It will mark the first time the NBA will play two regular-season games in the French capital in the same season. -via Twitter @tom_orsborn / April 29, 2024
League sources have told NBC Sports not to bet on that happening, as San Antonio doesn’t see Young as a fit with Wembanyama going forward. The Spurs might be more interested in the Hawks’ Dejounte Murray if he is available. -via NBC Sports / April 22, 2024
Victor Wembanyama said last month that his friend and fellow Frenchman Rudy Gobert would be a worthy winner of the 2023-24 NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award. But Wembanyama also added that, in future seasons, he, and not Gobert, would be the front-runner. Their NBA peers, however, feel Wembanyama’s time has already arrived. Players voted the towering Spurs rookie as the league’s best defender right now. Wembanyama led the league in blocks, averaging 3.58 per game. His next closest competitor, Utah’s Walker Kessler, recorded 2.41 blocks per game. -via The Athletic / April 22, 2024
