San Antonio Spurs eye major trades after NBA Finals loss

The San Antonio Spurs fell short in the NBA Finals, surrendering double‑digit leads in four of five games to the New York Knicks. In the wake of the defeat, the franchise is assessing its roster and exploring trade possibilities. Analysts have highlighted the Celtics’ All‑NBA forward Jaylen Brown, who carries a $285 million contract through 2028‑29, as a potential blockbuster target, though Boston would likely demand a hefty return. The Spurs’ salary‑cap flexibility is limited; they project roughly $6 million of cap space unless they move a sizable contract such as Keldon Johnson’s, which could open up to $20 million. Victor Wembanyama remains on a rookie‑scale four‑year, $55 million deal, giving San Antonio significant draft capital and financial leeway to add a star alongside their young core.
