NBA: San Antonio Spurs Could Trade De’Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle, or No. 2 Pick
The San Antonio Spurs are entering a pivotal offseason, and the front office appears ready to make bold moves to accelerate their rebuild around superstar big man Victor Wembanyama. According to multiple league insiders, the Spurs are exploring blockbuster trade possibilities that could involve De’Aaron Fox, newly drafted Stephon Castle, or even the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft — depending on how talks evolve.
While Fox is currently under contract with the Sacramento Kings, reports suggest the Spurs have been engaged in exploratory discussions with Sacramento about acquiring the All-Star guard to give Wembanyama a true playmaking partner. Fox averaged 25.4 points and 6.3 assists last season and would provide immediate offensive firepower and pace in San Antonio’s backcourt.
However, the Spurs may have alternative plans. After selecting Stephon Castle with the fourth overall pick in this year’s draft, some around the league believe the team could package Castle along with future assets to move up or acquire a proven star — possibly as part of a three-team trade. Castle, a 6’6” combo guard out of UConn, has drawn comparisons to Jrue Holiday for his defensive upside and unselfish play.
More surprisingly, San Antonio is reportedly open to trading the No. 2 overall pick, which they acquired in a prior trade. That pick could command significant value, with multiple teams interested in moving up to target prospects like Cooper Flagg, Ace Bailey, or Zaccharie Risacher.
“Everything’s on the table,” one league executive told ESPN. “They’re building around Wembanyama, and they’re trying to get it right now.”
What’s Next?
With cap space, young talent, and draft capital, San Antonio has the flexibility to reshape its roster dramatically this summer. Whether they go all-in for a star like Fox or play the long game with Castle and multiple picks, it’s clear the Spurs are preparing to turn potential into playoff contention — fast.
