Longtime NBA insider Marc Stein just dropped the nugget that Spurs fans should be thrilled (paid) to hear about the team's trade deadline plans if Giannis Antetokounmpo does officially hit the market.
"There is a growing belief among trade-trackers that San Antonio and Houston, like Oklahoma City, do not plan to join the chase for Antetokounmpo," Stein wrote in his Substack. That's the Greek Freak. He's a top-three player in the game today, so it sounds sacrilegious to suggest the Spurs wouldn't be interested in a guy like that. It's the right decision, though, and you shouldn't need much convincing to see that.
