San Antonio Spurs preseason basketball is officially here, with them trying out their new-look roster. With their team almost fully set, now isn't the time for a big trade.
However, they should keep an eye on one potential trade deadline target, Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen. Despite a seemingly lukewarm perception amongst Spurs fans, he'd fit this roster like a glove.
He also isn't expected to last this season in Utah, with him likely on the trade block given they are in a rebuild. If he has a bounce-back season after an admittedly bad 2024-25, he should have several suitors, possibly including the Spurs.
