2023 Free agents and players that may get traded. v1

Updated: June 12, 2023 – Added Jarrett Allen, Cedi Osman

Here is a list of possible Spurs targets and some thoughts on them. Obviously there are a lot more targets but these ones seemed the most interesting and/or plausible.

Ultimately, I can’t tell what we really really need. I am pretty satisfied with our guards and wings heading into next year, so I think we probably want a PF or C. I think we need to play a traditional center with Wemby roaming on defense. Brook Lopez and Chris Paul would be my favorites but I doubt they want to join a rebuilding team. Of the more likely candidates, I think I like Kuzma, Naz Reid, Cam Johnson, and Poeltl the best.
