Possible Trade Up Scenarios for the Spurs

The 2021 NBA Draft is only weeks away, and the Spurs will have options. The most likely scenario involves them just sitting at 12th and picking the best player available, but they could also move down, up or actually out of the first round.

We already discussed some scenarios in which San Antonio would move down, so now it’s time to see if there is potential to move up.

To be clear, we are not advocating for any of these trades. These are just examples that explore three types of moves: a relatively painless trade that only propels the Spurs up a few spots, a more costly one that gets them an extra pick without them losing theirs, and a swing-for-the-fences attempt to get near the top that would require some serious sacrifices.
