We know that the Spurs will have to be closely monitored in the coming years, especially with the rise of Victor Wembanyama.

Enough to make the rest of the NBA worried? For one journalist, it is possible that the other teams will be wary.

With Victor Wembanyama and the reinforcement of Chris Paul, we already know that the Spurs will not be easy to manage during this new NBA season.

It should be even worse in two or three seasons, when Wembanyama will have progressed well in his game and will have, we hope for him, a little more help.

The rest of the league surely fears the worst, to the point of… not helping the Hawks?

Indeed, let us remember that the future of the Hawks belongs today to the Spurs.

Their next three first rounds of the draft will go to the Texan franchise, forcing Atlanta to win games rather than voluntarily squatting in the depths of the Eastern Conference.

The other teams are obviously aware, which may explain the evolution of the Trae Young case.

Are teams worried about the Spurs?

Long cited in rumors, Young has still not moved from the Hawks and that should not change.

The point guard, although considered a talented player, does not arouse the enthusiasm of the competition… because of the Spurs? Journalist Sam Quinn dropped an interesting theory on Twitter, and not so crazy.

Dwight Howard cash on the Victor Wembanyama case: “He doesn’t even know how to…

Sam Quinn: “There’s a part of me that wonders if Trae Young’s trade value was so limited this summer because no one wanted to help the Spurs.

Thinking, ‘Who cares if we get better if we have to deal with Wembanyama and a few more big draft picks than they would get if Atlanta doesn’t have Trae.'”

If a team gets Trae Young, it’s a tanking opportunity for Atlanta. And if the franchise does poorly, the Spurs will benefit with several big draft picks, and maybe a first-place pick in the best-case scenario.

Getting Trae is helping the Spurs, and let’s just say they don’t need it…

Is the league worried about Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs right now? Quite likely, given the level of the Frenchman.

Trae Young may be paying the price now, as he’s set to continue with the Hawks in a rather strange atmosphere.
