Projected starting lineup for the Spurs after a trade united De'Aaron Fox and Victor Wembanyama
The Spurs made a major move on Sunday, trading for De'Aaron Fox from the Kings.
Even though San Antonio had the veteran presence of Chris Paul in the backcourt, they now have their franchise point guard of the future in Fox. He can play alongside CP3 for occasional minutes but he is their new long-term floor general who can change the trajectory of the roster.
San Antonio is not built to immediately contend this season. But after not surrendering any of their young core to land Fox, they have a solid group of players they can continue to build around moving forward.
This is how we project the Spurs will look during important games, relying on a deep rotation that helps find minutes for key players like Paul as well as Jeremy Sochan and Keldon Johnson even if they are not in the starting five.
