How true is rumor that Spurs don’t want to trade for Trae Young?

Trae Young and the San Antonio Spurs were connected via trade rumors throughout portions of this past season. However, a recent report indicated that the Spurs don’t see it as a good fit. Greg Swartz of Bleacher Report recently wrote an article “buying or selling” rumors, and he doesn’t believe that San Antonio dislikes the Young fit.

“The question now becomes: If Young doesn’t fit with perhaps the greatest defensive talent the NBA has seen since Bill Russell, who does he fit with exactly?” Swartz wrote. “Young and Wembanyama would complement each other’s games perfectly. Young is one of the best passers in the NBA who would allow Wembanyama to feast off lobs and no-look cuts to the basket.

“On the other end, the 7’4” center would cover up Young’s defensive deficiencies perhaps better than anyone after already leading the NBA in blocked shots per game as a rookie (3.6). Young’s unlimited shooting range would make it tougher for defenses to double-team Wembanyama as he only gets stronger and adds to his offensive game. The Spurs should have at least exploratory interest in the price of a Young trade. Buy or Sell: Sell the Spurs not seeing Young and Wembanyama as fits. This would be an ideal pairing for the next 10-plus years.”

Should the Spurs consider trading for Young this summer?
