Win win result! Should the Spurs consider an upward trade and trade the Wizards for the top pick?

In the draw ceremony of this year's NBA draft conference, the San Antonio Spurs were just so lucky. The Spurs, who ranked fifth from the bottom in the regular season, used their first round draw to draw the fourth. Since the Toronto Raptors finally drew the No. 8 lottery, and according to the previous content involving the Jakob Poeltl transaction, the first round of the lottery in the hands of the Raptors is protected by the top six, which means that the Spurs will have two lottery tickets in this year's NBA draft conference, namely, the No. 4 lottery ticket in the first round and the No. 8 lottery ticket in the first round.

In fact, this news is not very good news for the Spurs. Although the Spurs' luck is not bad, and the actual situation is slightly better than expected, a No. 4 signing can not help them to choose the target they want, and the No. 8 signing is also a bit weak. The Spurs obviously have weaknesses in the position of No. 1 and No. 3. Relatively speaking, they have a higher demand in the position of No. 1. Ideally, if the Spurs can select a point guard with No. 4 and a swing forward with No. 8, that is the most ideal result. However, from the actual situation, it seems that they can not do this.

Of course, the best point guard in this draft conference is Nikola Topic, a Serbian rookie in the backcourt. His maturity, his understanding of the game, his personal ability and his field control ability are at least one level higher than all other rookies in the same position, He seems to be the most promising player to quickly carry the No. 1 flag after entering the NBA. As long as his injury is not serious enough to be reimbursed in the season, he should be the most ideal target of the Spurs. The only problem is that, as long as Topic remains healthy, including the Washington Wizards with the top pick and the Houston Rockets with the exploratory tag, they may be the first to win Topic.

For the Spurs, it is not a safe choice to trade up with the Rockets and exchange for the lottery, because the Wizards may directly win Topic, which means that the Spurs' upward trade will become meaningless. In this case, it may be a more rational result to deal with wizards directly. The Spurs directly sent out the No. 4 and No. 8 signatures in exchange for the No. 2 and No. 26 first round signatures in the hands of the Wizards, which may also be a win-win result. The Spurs can use the top pick to successfully win Topic, and they can also use the No. 26 pick to select front-line players such as Tristan Da Silva, Kevin McCullar Jr. or Dillon Jones. For the Wizards, they can also use the No. 4 sign to select the inside player Donovan Clingan, and use the No. 8 sign to select backcourt players such as Robert Dillingham or Reed Sheppard to improve the competitiveness of the No. 1 position.
