It is difficult to know if the Spurs will take action between now and February, but it is certain that the franchise is investigating several files just in case. We know more about a specific track, and this could be interesting for the future.
With their record of 16 victories and 15 defeats, the Spurs are in the race to compete in the playoffs in the West. The next few weeks will be decisive with trade turmoil, but fans hope Victor Wembanyama will be enough to achieve this goal. Let's say that at the moment, everything seems possible.
But providing a little help to the Frenchman wouldn't be too much either if the franchise NBA really wants to reach the postseason. Several names are circulating for this, such as Jimmy Butler, De'Aaron Fox and more recently Cam Johnson, the Nets shooter who is very popular on the market. The Texans will have to make a choice, especially since the competition is numerous.
Another reinforcement for the Spurs?
Johnson is a profile appreciated by supporters. A real shooter but problems on defense, which doesn't fit with the Spurs' identity and their plan for the future. This is why the interested party is not the only lead, with confirmed interest also in Andrew Nembhard of the Pacers, according to information from Jake Fischer.

Good news? Indiana certainly needs to think about some changes with their record of 15 wins and 17 losses. Nembhard, leader, could therefore be available against the right offer.
@TheIndyPacer : “The Spurs have expressed an interest in recovering Andrew Nembhard in trade, according to Jake Fischer. However, the Pacers are hesitant to trade him, appreciating his defensive presence on the team and his overall contribution. »
Suffice to say that it will be necessary to make an effort to attract the player to Texas, but it is clearly not impossible. It remains to convince the Pacers, even if the supporters play the humor card.
@CptWilson11 : “We take Victor Wembanyama in exchange”
@HoosierNathan1 : “I like Nemby, but I don’t see any future for him with the Pacers. His contract is important and we already have two leaders for the future, and we need a new center. »
@The_Meowstro : “Give Wemby and we will have a deal!” »
@Samue1G : “Start by including Stephon Castle and we can start talking. »
Other avenues are still possible for the Spurs, but this is becoming clearer given the latest names mentioned. We will know more in the coming weeks.
The Spurs clearly have an interest in several players, with the desire to recruit to reach the playoffs. Good news for Victor Wembanyama, determined to achieve his goal.
