After having just filled their 15-man roster, the San Antonio Spurs appear to be ready for the start of training camp. However, there is a lingering question about whether they could make one last move to shore up their chances of making the playoffs for the first time in five years.
While they have been linked to Utah Jazz star Lauri Markkanen, San Antonio, despite having a full roster, has some expendable salary that they can use to make a big potential deal. Not to mention a mountain of draft picks that they can include as well. With a tough route to the playoffs, making a win-now move ahead of the season would give whoever they acquire a chance to gel with the roster.

The odds of that happening are unclear, though ESPN's Zach Lowe recently speculated that the Spurs would be a perfect trade partner for a Portland Trail Blazers guard. It should be noted that he isn't reporting on an inevitable trade; be that as it may, he obviously has more knowledge about trade talk than most. Next, we will take a look at a possible Spurs and Trail Blazers deal that could happen.
