Spurs could acquire $224 million superstar, cut ties with Wembanyama's new star guard
The San Antonio Spurs were fortunate enough to have the second overall pick in the 2025 NBA draft, which led to Dylan Harper. However, at the trade deadline last year, they traded for All-Star point guard De'Aaron Fox to be Victor Wembanyama's longtime running mate. Now with a clog at the guard position, they could look to trade one of them away, and Fox is likely the odd man out between him, Harper, and Stephon Castle. One scenario could be Fox being moved to the Toronto Raptors in exchange for Scottie Barnes. Financially, this one-for-one move works, but other picks or players would likely be involved. Barnes is only 23 years old, but has thrived in Toronto, averaging a career 17.2 points per game, 5.8 assists per game, and 7.7 rebounds per game with great efficiency, all while being a positive embraced the point forward role for the Raptors until they traded for Immanuel Quickley, but Fox would certainly be an upgrade. On top of that, their most recent first-round pick is Collin Murray-Boyles, a 6'7 (same height as Barnes) 20-year-old whose minutes would suffer playing behind Barnes. Toronto has young pieces like Gradey Dick and RJ Barrett, but also players they can compete with, like Brandon Ingram and Jakob Poeltl. Their direction is unclear, nonetheless, bringing in Fox to be the commander of this young offense would be an excellent idea. This would allow Wembanyama and Barnes to grow as an elite frontcourt, all while giving their young guards the room to develop.
