5 Spurs who undoubtedly need to be traded or released before next season

3. Devonte Graham

Devonte Graham provided one of the most exciting moments of the season when he hit the game-winning floater over Jamal Murray to beat the Denver Nuggets in what would be Victor Wembanyama's final game of the season. For that shot, he shouldn't have to pay for breakfast tacos in the city of San Antonio for the rest of his life.

Regardless of the pure elation that moment provided, Graham only played in 22 games this season without injury being a factor. He mostly rode the bench, only seeing the floor when games were out of reach for either the Spurs or their opponent of the night. When you look at his contract, Graham has one more year on a 4-year deal he signed with the Charlotte Hornets in 2021 worth up to $12 million.

While only $2.8 is guaranteed initially, the final year becomes fully guaranteed on July 1. There is no reason for San Antonio to pay that amount of money to a player who plays so little. The Spurs have a couple of younger players, David Duke Jr. and Jamaree Bouyea, who can play that role. The veterans the Spurs need on the roster should, preferably, be ones with more postseason experience and guys who will see the floor more.
