Chris Paul was the 4th overall pick in the 2005 NBA Draft by the New Orleans Hornets. After 20 seasons in the NBA, Paul now finds himself on the doorstep of being a first-ballot Hall of Famer. At 40 years old, retirement is nearing for Paul in what has been one of the best careers […]

Changes are coming this offseason for the Boston Celtics. Jayson Tatum will miss all of next season with a torn achilles tendon, so it is widely assumed that Boston will get their finances in check with trades of Jrue Holiday or Kristaps Porzingis. Moving on from one or both of these big-money veterans could help […]

The San Antonio Spurs have the opportunity to make a splash during the offseason, but it’s uncertain what they’ll do. With the No. 2 pick in the NBA Draft, they can continue to build their young core, or they can use that pick to make a trade for a big star. The two players who […]

The Kevin Durant trade rumors are starting to heat up as the 2025 NBA Draft approaches.

The Dallas Mavericks have the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, and it is presumed they will take Duke superstar Cooper Flagg with the pick. But ESPN’s insiders think a trade with the San Antonio Spurs could be of great benefit to the team. While there have been theories that Dallas general […]

At 33 years old, Harrison Barnes is ancient compared to most of the youth who make up the San Antonio Spurs’ core. “Me and Chris, we’re like the same age,” Barnes joked on the last day of the season in mentioning Chris Paul, who has since turned 40. That Barnes is viewed on the future […]

The Minnesota Timberwolves will do their best to return all of Julius Randle, Naz Reid, and Nickeil Alexander-Walker this offseason, but one or more of those potential free agents seem likely to walk in free agency. Alexander-Walker is an unrestricted free agent, whereas Randle and Reid have player options on their contracts. Reid will likely […]

The Brooklyn Nets own four first-round picks in the 2025 NBA Draft, including the eighth overall pick. Despite that, the team reportedly has interest in adding more lottery capital, and they are willing to include Cam Johnson in a trade to get that done.

Victor Wembanyama missed a large chunk of the season after receiving news of a blood clot in his right shoulder.

According to Brian Lewis of the New York Post, Brooklyn may look to consolidate assets — including Johnson, multiple late first-round selections, and future draft capital […]

The Boston Celtics and San Antonio Spurs are on different trajectories ahead of the 2025-26 season. The Boston Celtics lost their best player due to an achilles injury, as Jayson Tatum is now expected to miss all of next season. Because of that, a fire sale involving a number of Boston’s pricier players could be […]

It’s been 26 years since Sean Elliott tip-toed the sideline for a high-arcing shot over an airborne Rasheed Wallace in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals. Given its overall significance, there’s little doubt the “Memorial Day Miracle’ ranks among the biggest shots in San Antonio Spurs history. Where exactly does it rank, though? Examining […]

The Dallas Mavericks’ prospects got a whole lot better earlier this month when they landed the No. 1 overall pick in the upcoming NBA Draft. And in addition to presumably drafting Duke star Cooper Flagg in about one month’s time, the Mavericks could also be enlisting the help of Chris Paul, one of the greatest […]

There is one month until the 2025 NBA Draft. At this point, there is no secret who the first pick will be, as the Dallas Mavericks are prepared to add Cooper Flagg next to Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving in hopes of competing for a championship immediately. While Flagg is the obvious first choice for […]

When the San Antonio Spurs traded for De’Aaron Fox just before the deadline, the move came with the expectation that they’ll grant him a contract extension by next summer. The 2023 All-Star confirmed that’s what he’s anticipating. “I would hope so,” Fox answered when asked if he’d like a new deal before the one he […]

With Chris Paul in the news for attending a former teammate’s MVP trophy presentation, his current San Antonio Spurs teammates (still technically) are hoping they don’t become his former teammates this offseason. A 40-year-old point guard, Paul is weighing retirement. If he does return, there’s no guarantee it will be with the Silver and Black. […]

When the San Antonio Spurs took Jeremy Sochan with the ninth pick of the 2022 NBA Draft, they saw his versatility as perhaps his biggest strength. They leaned on it through his first two seasons, maybe to Sochan’s detriment. Heading into this season, though, the former Baylor Bear has a better idea of the role […]

San Antonio Spurs icon Gregg Popovich found himself in a terrifying situation last month as newly released details from a 911 call described a disturbing incident at a local steakhouse. In the 911 call obtained by TMZ Sports, a man at Ruth’s Chris Steak House reported that a guest—later identified as Popovich—was first “non-responding” before […]

San Antonio Spurs point guard Chris Paul is known for his stellar play on the basketball court. He is a surefire future Hall of Famer and arguably the best point guard since he entered the NBA in 2005. He is still playing well, entering his 20th season. However, now, he’s expanding his brand off the […]

When it comes to this San Antonio Spurs offseason, Harrison Barnes has been here before. Kind of. Through 13 NBA seasons, he’s won a championship with the Golden State Warriors in reaching the two NBA Finals and he helped the Sacramento Kings break a 16-year playoff drought. Though San Antonio hasn’t yet enjoyed that level […]

When it comes to the 2025 NBA Draft, few prospects have been as highly debated as Ace Bailey. Cooper Flagg? Unquestioned top pick since before the 2024-25 NCAA season even began. Dylan Harper? The top guard in this year’s class with the potential to become a team’s lead guard well into the future. But Bailey? […]

To know San Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson is to know what he’s going to say when he addresses the media. Every situation is met with the same attitude. Whether he’s mentioned as part of a possible trade, or his offensive touches dwindle, or his role changes, the longest tenured Spur publicly displays the same […]

San Antonio Spurs big man Victor Wembanyama turned some heads, and not just because of his height or his basketball talent.

They are also both over 7 […]

As the San Antonio Spurs figure out what’s next as the team enters a new era with Gregg Popovich no longer officially head coach, the NBA Draft will be crucial in finding another piece the team can use to make some serious noise in the NBA. With certain expectations around the Spurs and the No. […]

As the San Antonio Spurs headed into the NBA offseason, De’Aaron Fox wasn’t shy about expressing what he thinks his relatively new team can be. “I think the sky’s the limit for this group,” the 2023 NBA All-Star said.

Victor Wembanyama appears to have cleared the first major hurdle as he rehabbed from an injury that ended his season. In making his way back from blood clots in his right shoulder, the San Antonio Spurs’ generational talent looked at the first step with a sense of awe. “Looking back, I’m really lucky,” the 7-foot-5 […]

With respect to John Kundla and Steve Kerr, there is little debate that Red Auerbach, Phil Jackson, Pat Riley and Gregg Popovich take up the four spots on the Mount Rushmore of NBA coaches. Though Kundla won five championships with the Minneapolis Lakers and Kerr’s already captured four with no indication he’s leaving the bench […]

When discussing the expectations that come with selections decided by the NBA Draft Lottery, most teams’ coaches and executives answer conservatively. Some go out of their way to lower expectations. San Antonio Spurs general manager Brian Wright isn’t going that route. Take, for example, how new Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson answered when asked if […]

There’s no doubt that Gregg Popovich was one of the greatest coaches in NBA history, and what he did with the San Antonio Spurs throughout his career is impressive. With his recent health condition, Popovich stepped down as the head coach and is now the president of basketball operations for the Spurs. To pay homage […]

Amid a report that the San Antonio Spurs are not pursuing any trades regarding the second overall pick because they’re zeroing in on Dylan Harper, it may be worth looking into what Mitch Johnson said on NBA Draft Lottery night. “It’s someone that has high upside and a high floor which you think would be […]

The San Antonio Spurs have a plethora of options at their disposal after landing the No. 2 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. With Cooper Flagg going No. 1, will they use their pick and select Dylan Harper?

Former San Antonio Spurs guard Danny Green voiced confidence this week that Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo could eventually find his way to San Antonio. Speaking Tuesday on ESPN’s NBA Today, Green cited both tax implications and team assets as key reasons why the Spurs could be a realistic destination for the two-time MVP. “He […]

The San Antonio Spurs had an up-and-down 2024-25 season. While they failed to meet the Play-In expectations, the future is still bright in San Antonio. They finished with a poor 34-48 record, and 2024 NBA Rookie of the Year Victor Wembanyama went down with deep vein thrombosis, sidelining him for the rest of the season. […]

The San Antonio Spurs were always going to be one of the most fascinating teams of the 2025 NBA offseason. After a roller-coaster season that saw flashes of brilliance, the Spurs find themselves holding the No. 2 overall pick in the upcoming NBA Draft.

On Monday night, the NBA Draft Lottery took place with representatives from 14 different teams in attendance. Shockingly, the Dallas Mavericks earned the No. 1 overall pick and had just 1.8% odds to actually win. This means the Mavs will select former Duke star Cooper Flagg. Flagg joins the conversation as one of the most […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo’s future with the Milwaukee Bucks is seemingly up in the air with the former MVP and NBA champion reportedly open-minded about leaving Milwaukee for the first time. And if he chooses to do so, the San Antonio Spurs may be in a better position to acquire Antetokounmpo than any other team. While it’s […]

Just as Cooper Flagg is the consensus top pick of the 2025 NBA Draft, Dylan Harper is widely considered the second-best prospect in the class. All things being equal, he’d almost certainly be the San Antonio Spurs’ pick after the Dallas Mavericks beat them out for the number one selection on lottery night. And, barring […]
