Spurs' next move after Victor Wembanyama's extension couldn't be more obvious

The offseason can be a fun time for fans as they watch their teams retool for the next campaign. The Spurs have done some of that by drafting a couple of physical beasts to control the paint and signing Tobias Harris to do a little bit of everything.

Mostly, San Antonio has retained their own guys, and after finishing the most important piece of business in extending Victor Wembanyama, it's time to shut it down.

The Spurs already built a Finals-ready roster

We're not talking about roster-filling moves with guys who won't really get on the floor like that. Shout out to Jordan McLaughlin for getting another contract, but he barely sniffed the floor during the postseason unless the games were out of reach, and that will likely be his role again. It's not the type of deal that will get the fans buzzing.

No, I'm talking about splash trades. Because the offseason is also the time for countless machinations, building the most unstoppable squad possible. Not going to happen, though.

This group was good enough to win 62 games last season, and with a core this young, their growth will be just as good as adding a new talent to the roster.

We've already seen grandiose trade proposals for Trey Murphy III, Lauri Markkanen, and Brandon Ingram. The Spurs have their stars under contract already, though.

It would be nice to stack the deck like the 2017 Golden State Warriors, but we're truly just being greedy when we throw these ideas out. Most teams would kill to have the collection of youthful talent San Antonio boasts.

As far as free agency, the cap sheet is pretty much tapped out on signings with 14 roster spots filled. Not that there are any real game-changers left. Still, as Paul Garcia explains, the Silver and Black couldn't even add another player without going into the luxury tax unless the contract went to someone with zero experience.

Adding one more bench-warming body to the fold doesn't seem worth that.

Patience is the Spurs' biggest advantage

Victor Wembanyama is entering his fourth year. Stephon Castle is entering his third year. Dylan Harper and Carter Bryant will be sophomores. That's possibly 4/5 of 2028's starting lineup, and they'd still be one of the youngest groups in the NBA.

We've often spoken about the sky being the limit for this bunch, but it's because it's never been truer for a team. After all, this kind of talent at their age is unheard of. All Brian Wright has to do is not mess it up by showing some patience.

That's never really been an issue for this organization, so it's nothing to worry about.

Step one: land a generational star and extend him. Step two: build around him. Step three: wait and reap the benefits. It may be slightly more complicated than that, but not by much.

That's the beauty of being a Spurs fan. The franchise is run by heady individuals who know what it takes to build a winning team. Trusting the work already done can sometimes be the smartest move you can make.
