The San Antonio Spurs are elbowing their way into NBA trade season Goliath-style. Beyond possessing top-10 efficiency marks on both ends of the floor—the historic markings of a full-fledged title contender—they're also the only club to tally two wins (in two tries!) over the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder. There's a non-zero chance we're already talking about the team to beat in this year's title race.
That is, in a sense, why the Spurs are seemingly snoozing through the Giannis Antetokounmpo sweepstakes. Why shorten a championship window that's already wide open?
