With the draft fast approaching, several franchises are already making serious moves behind the scenes. In San Antonio, talks around the second overall pick are heating up, and an unexpected scenario could be unfolding.
The Spurs’ second pick in the draft offers a major strategic opportunity. While most observers expect San Antonio to select Dylan Harper, the top prospect after Cooper Flagg, the Texas franchise is not ruling out other options. Behind closed doors, the idea of a trade is gaining momentum.
According to Hoops Wire, Joe Dumars, recently appointed head of basketball operations for the Pelicans, has already reached out to the Spurs to explore the possibility of moving up to the second pick (or within the top 3). This interest shows the high market value of this pick and that several teams are eager to make a move.
A Surprise Coming for the Spurs?
San Antonio aims to strengthen its roster around Victor Wembanyama. Although Harper is a promising prospect, the franchise might prefer to acquire more experienced assets or multiple picks to build a competitive team faster. A trade could accelerate their development.
Sam Amico : “One league source told Hoops Wire he’s heard that new Pelicans head of basketball operations Joe Dumars has already called the Spurs about what it would take to move up to No. 2.”
In short, a surprise could happen at or before the draft, and the Spurs are far from closing the door on this possibility.
In this context, San Antonio holds a strong bargaining chip. If a good offer arrives, they could drop down in the draft while adding valuable pieces—or even target a proven player to support their young French star. Kevin Durant is known to be a favorite, but it’s uncertain if New Orleans has a player to interest the Texans.
The coming days will be crucial to watch. San Antonio has the cards to shake up the draft order, and a move before June 25 could send shockwaves through the market. Nothing is decided yet, but the trade option is more alive than ever.
