After the San Antonio Spurs landed the No. 2 pick in the 2025 NBA draft, the question quickly became whether they would try to trade that pick for Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo.

SAN ANTONIO — The San Antonio Spurs own the No. 2 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, and many believe the team will select Rutgers guard Dylan Harper. And according to a report from ESPN, the Spurs may do that. With the 2025 NBA Combine underway, a report surfaced that San Antonio is "signaling" to teams that Harper is their target at No. 2.

The two highly ranked NBA prospects said they gained perspective, experience in dealing with adversity from failing to make March Madness cut.

Landing the second pick effectively ended the Spurs' interest in Durant, if there ever was any to begin with. Harper, Tre Johnson, VJ Edecombe, and Ace Bailey would not have been on the board when the Spurs picked eighth, but now San Antonio will have their pick of the litter, and Durant is not exactly known for his teammate development skills.

The San Antonio Spurs have the two last winners of the Rookie of the Year award: Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle. They could be looking to add another one in 2025.

The NBA Draft Lottery is still generating buzz — particularly around the top three picks. The league faces tough questions after the Dallas Mavericks landed the No. 1 overall pick, a result that raised plenty of eyebrows.

After rising up to the second overall pick in the loaded 2025 NBA Draft, the San Antonio Spurs immediately became the subject of trade rumors. The Spurs, in theory, could add any star they want this offseason,
