San Antonio Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama is reportedly intrigued with the idea of teaming up with Trae Young, according to reports from ESPN’s Tim MacMahon.

In a podcast with fellow ESPN analyst Brian Windhorst, MacMahon mentioned the prospect of the Spurs trading for Young following Atlanta’s recent draft lottery result.

ANALYSIS: The Hawks have recently won the No. 1 overall pick and now are at a crossroads to see what direction they could go. They could choose to either trade their current pieces right now and build for the future around burgeoning star Jalen Johnson. 

However, Atlanta could also choose to retool around their stars DeJounte Murray and Young, and find pieces around them to continue to build and contend with their current squad. 

Since San Antonio controls Atlanta’s drafts from 2025-2027, they offer the opportunity to fully embrace a rebuild.
