Having the current San Antonio Spurs in national media talk is about as common as Bigfoot appearances these days Unless Bigfoot starts signing autographs at a local Wingstop or San Antonio Spurs don’t upset someone major in the playoffs, none of these things are going to become more common anytime soon

This is why it was especially interesting to see Bleacher Report’s Grant Hughes bring up the San Antonio Spurs as a business destination for Brooklyn Nets star Caris LeVert. I’ve been the conductor of this train since then. where the KD / Kyrie ordeal has gone from mystery to reality, so I’m happy to see it spill over into this internet space

During his article titled « Trades That Would Free Potential NBA Superstars, » Hughes offered a simply hypothetical move that the San Antonio Spurs would be wise to accept

If the San Antonio Spurs are to leave DeMar DeRozan as part of a mid-season deal, that has to be the way to do it. Not only do Spurs have a young, aspiring superstar with solid creative ability of shooting and a leader’s approach, but they do so on a reasonable contract Plus, they would bring in a local product, Taurean Prince, whose name has appeared in Spurs online community conversations a few times

Either way, the main draw here is LeVert as a small starting forward from the future in a lineup that likely includes himself, Dejounte, Derrick, Keldon and Aldridge with Walker on the bench. It’s a solid range that will remain competitive for the immediate future while moving towards something more concrete in the future

At 26, LeVert lines up perfectly with White, who is in line for a contract extension this offseason. Although still relatively young, LeVert would be a great leader for Spurs’ young core as a person. having experience in high intensity games as the guy of choice Even though he has not yet been on an All-Star team, he was highly regarded for a team before and would have been an All- Star if it weren’t for his injury that led to D’Angelo Russell’s escape in the 18-1919 season
