While it seems increasingly distant, some still dream of seeing Giannis Antetokounmpo team up with Victor Wembanyama in San Antonio. One American website even suggested a monstrous trade, also involving Zion Williamson and New Orleans.
One thing seems certain: the Spurs will be ambitious this summer. It must be said that they are in the perfect position to do so: in addition to holding the No. 2 and No. 14 picks in the 2025 draft, they have enough assets to create an attractive package to land a superstar. Luckily, there are a few on the market.
Among the main candidates are obviously Kevin Durant and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Both have reportedly expressed some interest in joining Texas, and not just to benefit from lower taxes. The prospect of playing alongside Victor Wembanyama is also particularly enticing.
Spurs, Giannis and Zion Williamson involved in a XXL trade?
That being said, recruiting Giannis seems complicated at this stage since the big man hasn’t made a real trade request to the Bucks, and the latter don’t want to part with him. To convince them, you’ll have to be inventive, and the Fadeaway World swebite has decided to do the work in San Antonio. The result is a completely crazy scenario also involving the Pelicans and their main superstar, Zion Williamson:
- San Antonio Spurs Receive: Giannis Antetokounmpo
- Milwaukee Bucks Receive: Zion Williamson, Keldon Johnson, 2025 No. 2 pick, 2027 First-Round pick (MIL swap rights)
- New Orleans Pelicans: Devin Vassell, Jeremy Sochan, 2027 First-Round pick (ATL), 2029 Second-Round pick
Milwaukee’s main fear was being left with nothing if the Greek Freak were to leave, with Damian Lillard potentially out for the entire 2025-26 season. While he’s frequently prone to injury, Williamson has proven unstoppable every time he steps on the court. Add in a versatile player like Johnson, who’s productive as a starter or backup, and it could work.
We also know that New Orleans wouldn’t necessarily be against the idea of parting ways with its star player, in order to move on. Just as the Spurs want to trim their backcourt, with Johnson and Vassell being the most likely to be traded. However, one major problem remains: the No. 2 pick. Indeed, the Texans plan to use it to draft Dylan Harper in a few days, and without it, the negotiations would quickly halt.
