Spurs-dominated odds paint realistic path to greatest season in franchise history

Victor Wembanyama is the favorite to win Most Valuable Player and Defensive Player of the Year next season. Dylan Harper has the best odds to win Sixth Man of the Year. The Spurs were tied for the best odds to win the title with OKC, but over the last few days, the line has moved, putting San Antonio in second place.

All of these things coming true isn't exactly far-fetched.

Wemby is The Alien, Harper might already be the best finishing guard in the league, and The Silver and Black have star talent up and down their roster. All of the NBA's possibilities are within SA's grasp, and pulling it all off could make for the best season in Spurs history.

Let's be honest for a moment: this franchise has spoiled the fans. Spurs Nation has been eating good for a long time. No organization has more 50-win seasons since the 1976 merger than San Antonio. They have 28 of them through those 50 years.

The Spurs have every ingredient for a historic season

There's a lot of competition when it comes to delivering the greatest Spurs run of all time. But this group has everything you need to do it.

Star power ✅
MVP candidate ✅
High potential for highlights ✅
Defensive Player of the Year candidate ✅
Strong Team Defense ✅
Versatility ✅
Sixth Man of the Year candidate ✅
The first title in over 10 years ✅
The first title of the Wemby Era ✅

San Antonio's 62 wins last season tied for third all-time in franchise history. Had they finished the job, it would have been a solid contender for the best we've seen, considering the expectations coming into the year. Right now, the 2013-14 year still holds the crown.

The 2013-14 Spurs still own the greatest season in franchise history

The Silver and Black had to pick themselves up after losing to the Miami Heat in brutal fashion in the 2013 NBA Finals. They responded by winning 62 games of their own the following season, steamrolling opponents with a +8.1 net rating—the best in the league.

And we can't forget the playoff run through Dallas, Portland, and OKC that led to the revenge, where they obliterated the Heat, ending their chance for a three-peat and bringing an end to their Big 3's era.

But let's say the 2026-27 Spurs win 65-70 games, win a couple of playoff series thrillers, and secure a title, all while Harper wins 6MOY and Wemby nabs his second DPOY and his first MVP. Imagine Stephon Castle becomes a superstar and De'Aaron Fox gets his first ring. It'd be a hell of a first year of the Wembanyama dynasty.

At that point, there wouldn't be much of a debate left. We'd be looking at the greatest single season the Spurs have ever produced. And it's completely realistic.
