The San Antonio Spurs relished in what was one of the best offseasons in the entire NBA. They went out and constructed a top-tier bench unit and provided their star, Victor Wembanyama, with everything he needs to take over the league. Further, the Spurs will get a full season of their newly acquired starting point guard, De'Aaron Fox. But even with this success, the Spurs are no write-in for prosperity.
With the immense upgrades, one would expect the Spurs to advance past their 13th seed finish, yet that may not be so easy. Not because of a lack of juice added to the squad, but because of how historically great the Western Conference is shaping up to be.
