The San Antonio Spurs have Victor Wembaneyama and now it's time to build the team around him.
Some of the players the Spurs acquired before Wembaneyama could make sense for the team in the long run, but now that they've built the cornerstone of the franchise, they'll do whatever it takes to acquire a player to complement him. You should.
Bleacher Report believes the Spurs, who are still in the early stages of a rebuild, should acquire a top-end point guard in exchange for some future draft capital.

“When Wenbanyama shared the floor with Jones, the Spurs posted a plus-4.0 net rating. Only six teams have surpassed that mark this season. If Jones and that level of competitiveness are possible, “Imagine what Wenbanyama could do with a high score,” Bleacher Report wrote. “That's what the Spurs have already done, scouting Atlanta for a trade for Trae Young. With a collection of draft picks as strong as San Antonio's, this franchise would be able to trade for Trae Young, if not Young himself. , they should be able to afford a floor general of Young's ilk.”
The Spurs have been rumored to sign Young for months, but he's not the only point guard they could acquire this offseason. There's also a world where Young stays with the Atlanta Hawks, which would force the Spurs to go in a different direction anyway.
At the end of the day, Wembane Yama is most effective with a capable point guard playing alongside him. The Spurs could simply ride Jones and hope he continues to grow and improve, or San Antonio could throw in some chips and try to get better faster.
