Ranking all 17 Spurs from least to most trade value
By Tyler Watts
Intriguing potential makes trade unlikely
The San Antonio Spurs have drafted well in recent years, which has given them a young core to build around. They need to extend Devin Vassell to have all four signed long-term and ready to be the foundation of the franchise’s next run.
4. Keldon Johnson
Johnson just keeps getting better. He averaged 22.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.9 assists in 32.7 minutes per game last season. The presence of Victor Wembanyama should take attention away from Johnson and could help his 3-point percentage bounce back.
Johnson is the oldest of the group at 24, and the only member that was not selected in the lottery. He cannot become a free agent until 2027, and his deal should only get more team-friendly as the salary cap rises with the coming television deal.
3. Jeremy Sochan
The 6’9 forward showed plenty of potential as a rookie and quickly became a fan favorite. He was second-team All-Rookie last season and the best is still yet to come from the 20-year-old. His versatile skill set fits any team, and fans should be excited to see what he can do in year two.
2. Devin Vassell
Vassell is the 6’5 wing that every team desires. He is a career 36.7 percent 3-point shooter, who can score, handle the ball, make plays, rebound, and defend multiple positions. The 22-year-old still has room to grow, but he is already a valuable commodity. Last season’s knee injury is concerning, but he is the type of player every contending team needs.
These four would be difficult to get from the Spurs, but only one player is completely untouchable.
