第14顺位选秀权不太可能通过交易为马刺队换来一位球星，但可以帮助他们找到一位能弥补阵容空缺的经验丰富球员。
马刺队预计将在选秀中用榜眼签选中迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper)，但对于他们如何使用第14顺位选秀权，目前尚不明确。此前已有关于潜在目标的一些流言，并且当马刺队选择时，应该会有一些引人注目的天赋球员可供选择。
如果马刺队对可用的新秀不满意，或者他们只是想增加更多经验丰富的球员而非新秀，他们可以选择交易这个选秀权。他们可能无法换回一位球星，但可以完善他们的阵容。因此，让我们来看看一些既有益又看似现实的潜在交易。
解决内线深度问题
马刺将凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 和第14顺位选秀权交易至国王，换取约纳斯·瓦兰丘纳斯 (Jonas Valanciunas) 和德文·卡特 (Devin Carter)
萨克拉门托国王队在今年的选秀中没有选秀权，因为他们的选秀权在最初凯文·赫尔特 (Kevin Huerter) 的交易中送给了老鹰队。据报道，他们一直在试探市场，看马利克·蒙克 (Malik Monk) 或德文·卡特 (Devin Carter) 能否为他们换来一个选秀权。马刺队可以抓住机会，通过将凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 加入交易，不仅能得到这位年轻的控球后卫，还能得到一名替补中锋。国王队多年来一直缺少一名替补前锋，因此，如果德马尔·德罗赞 (DeMar DeRozan) 留下，约翰逊可以作为基根·默里 (Keegan Murray) 的替补；如果德罗赞离队，约翰逊可以与默里一同出场，这将弥补国王队的一个弱点。完善他们的前锋轮换并获得一个首轮中段选秀权，对国王队来说应该足够有吸引力，即便这样做会在替补中锋位置上造成空缺。
对马刺队而言，这笔交易的关键在于妥善管理资产的同时解决一个问题。瓦兰丘纳斯 (Jonas Valanciunas) 速度较慢，投篮可靠性不高。但他足够高大，能在内线占据空间，能在低位惩罚个子较小的球员，并且是一名优秀的挡拆手和顺下球员。他可以作为维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 的替补，也可以在某些时段与文班亚马同时在场，就像霍姆格伦 (Chet Holmgren) 和哈尔滕施泰因 (Isaiah Hartenstein)，以及申京 (Alperen Şengün) 和亚当斯 (Steven Adams) 那样。卡特 (Devin Carter) 对于已经面临后卫位置人员冗余的圣安东尼奥队来说有些多余，但应该很容易被再次交易以换取其他资产。
如果马刺队能得到这样一笔交易，他们将很难放弃这个机会。国王队在达龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 事件之后是否愿意与圣安东尼奥交易，是可能阻碍这笔假设交易的因素之一。
马刺将马拉凯·布兰纳姆 (Malaki Branham)、第14和第38顺位选秀权交易至黄蜂，换取马克·威廉姆斯 (Mark Williams)
威廉姆斯 (Mark Williams) 此前被交易到湖人队，换取道尔顿·克内克特 (Dalton Knecht)、一个首轮选秀权和一次互换权，但这笔交易在他未能通过体检或者罗布·佩林卡 (Rob Pelinka) 临阵退缩之前告吹了。那场闹剧后，这位大个子的价值严重受损，因为它表明夏洛特黄蜂队非常乐意送走他。然而，尽管威廉姆斯缺席了大约半个赛季，但他在大多数数据上都达到了生涯最佳，场均两双，外加2.5次助攻和超过1次盖帽。他在场上是一名高效的球员，虽然他的防守还有很多不足，但他只有23岁，并且凭借他7英尺6英寸的臂展和9英尺9英寸的站立摸高，身体条件出色。作为一名替补球员（这正是他在圣安东尼奥的角色），他的耐用性应该不会成为一个大问题。
黄蜂队可以尝试提升威廉姆斯 (Mark Williams) 的交易价值，但他的伤病史可能会吓退大多数寻求首发球员的球队。目前来看，获得一名年轻球员（即使他表现平平）和两个选秀权可能难以拒绝，特别是这能让球队摆脱一个尴尬的局面。夏洛特黄蜂队在穆萨·迪亚巴特 (Moussa Diabate) 身上发现了一块瑰宝，并且可以尝试提升优素福·努尔基奇 (Jusuf Nurkic) 的交易价值，因此他们的中锋位置是有保障的。
马刺队用一个有价值的资产去换威廉姆斯 (Mark Williams) 会有风险，但如果这笔交易成功，他们可以在受限制自由球员市场以低价重新签下他。
获得有尺寸且经过验证的射手
马刺将凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 和第14顺位选秀权交易至公牛，换取帕特里克·威廉姆斯 (Patrick Williams) 和2028年次轮选秀权
帕特里克·威廉姆斯 (Patrick Williams) 一直令人失望。公牛队在2020年选秀中用第四顺位选中了这位前锋，认为他们会得到一块基石。然而，他们得到的却是一名内向、缺乏积极性的球员，他从未将自己的运动能力和体型转化为稳定的表现。他在芝加哥公牛队只首发了大约一半的比赛，而且随着新秀马塔斯·布泽利斯 (Matas Buzelis) 展现出潜力，他们可能已经准备好放弃这位未能达到人们对他寄予厚望的球员。用一名经验丰富的前锋和一个首轮选秀权来换他，对公牛队来说应该绰绰有余。
马刺队可能会质疑他是否物有所值，考虑到他时好时坏的表现，但也有一些理由认为这个风险是值得的。首先，公牛队管理混乱，因此威廉姆斯 (Patrick Williams) 在改变环境后迎来复苏，就像劳里·马尔卡宁 (Lauri Markkanen) 那样，不太可能但并非完全没有可能。即使他不能复苏，他也可以成为一个稳定的替补球员——他曾表示自己喜欢在第二阵容中——只需命中空位投篮并利用他的体型即可。他职业生涯的三分命中率为39%，即使在上赛季表现下滑的情况下，他的接球投三分命中率仍达到37%。失去凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 会有所损失，但获得一个合同类似地对球队友好且能弥补弱点的替代者可能值得。
摆脱了高期望的帕威 (P-Will) 有望成为像马文·威廉姆斯 (Marvin Williams) 那样的角色球员。他的合同期限较长但价格合理，因此如果他表现不佳，马刺队应该能够交易他，而且如果公牛队重建，这个次轮选秀权可能会很有价值。
马刺将布雷克·韦斯利 (Blake Wesley)、马拉凯·布兰纳姆 (Malaki Branham) 和第14顺位选秀权送至华盛顿，换取科里·基斯珀特 (Corey Kispert) 和第18顺位选秀权
基斯珀特 (Corey Kispert) 并非没有缺点，但他身高6英尺7英寸，在NBA投出的三分球命中率为38%，并且在被逼出三分线后，作为突破威胁的能力大大提高。他不像传统球员那样自主创造投篮机会，但他持续的无球跑动意味着他经常能获得空位，并能接球后毫不犹豫地出手。他不是一个优秀的篮板手、传球手或防守者，但他清楚自己的角色。他会在空位时投篮，通过简单的运球动作进行进攻，聪明地空切，并且积极拼抢。本质上，他就是年轻版的曾效力于马刺队的多功能射手道格·麦克德莫特 (Doug McDermott)，但他的合同是联盟中对球队更友好的之一。在一个较小的替补角色中，他具备一定的价值。
奇才队根本不需要基斯珀特 (Corey Kispert)，并且正在清理那些合同超出本赛季的球员，就像近期乔丹·普尔 (Jordan Poole) 的交易所示。他们可以通过向上交易，超越一些可能目标高潜新秀的西部竞争者，从而获得他们渴望的新秀，同时也可以尝试一下韦斯利 (Blake Wesley) 和布兰纳姆 (Malaki Branham)，因为他们正处于重建模式，而且下一步可能会交易马库斯·斯马特 (Marcus Smart)，为后卫腾出一些空间。
这对两支球队来说都是一笔小规模交易，但它可以帮助他们平衡阵容，并让圣安东尼奥马刺队获得一名替补球员，同时仍然拥有第二个首轮选秀权。

Realistic trade targets for the Spurs with the 14th pick
The 14th pick won’t likely net the Spurs a star on a trade, but it could help them find a veteran who plugs a hole in their roster.
The Spurs are expected to select Dylan Harper second overall in the draft, but there’s less clarity about what they’ll do with the 14th pick. There have been some rumors about potential targets, and there’s intriguing talent that should be there when they are on the clock.
If the Spurs are not thrilled by the prospects available to them or if they simply want to add more veteran pieces instead of rookies, they could trade the pick. They likely wouldn’t get a star back, but they could round out their roster. So let’s take a look at some potential deals that would be beneficial and seem realistic.
Solving the problem of big man depth
Spurs trade Keldon Johnson, 14th to the Kings for Jonas Valanciunas and Devin Carter
Sacramento doesn’t have a pick in this draft, since theirs went to the Hawks from the original Kevin Huerter trade. They have reportedly been trying to test the market to see if Malik Monk or Devin Carter nets them one. The Spurs could pounce and not only get the young point guard but also a backup center by including Keldon Johnson in the transaction. The Kings have needed a backup forward for years, so getting Johnson to either back up Keegan Murray if DeMar DeRozan stays or to play next to him if DeRozan gets moved would address a weakness. Rounding out their forward rotation and getting into the middle of the first round should be appealing enough for the Kings, even if doing so creates a hole at backup center.
For the Spurs, the trade is all about addressing an issue while managing their assets well. Valanciunas is slow. His jumper is not the most reliable. But he’s big enough to take up space inside, can punish smaller players in the post, and is a good screener and dive man. He would back up Victor Wembanyama but could also share the floor with him for stretches in the same way Holmgrem and Harstenstein, and Sengun and Adams do. Carter would be superfluous for a San Antonio squad that already has a logjam at guard, but should be easy to reroute for another asset.
If a deal like this one is on the table for the Spurs, it would be hard to pass up the opportunity. Whether the Kings want to trade with San Antonio after the De’Aaron Fox saga is one of the factors that could derail the hypothetical transaction.
Spurs trade Malaki Branham, 14th, 38th to the Hornets for Mark Williams
Williams was traded to the Lakers for Dalton Knecht, a first-rounder, and a swap before he either failed a physical or Rob Pelinka got cold feet. The value of the big man was severely hurt after that fiasco, as it showed that Charlotte was more than willing to move him. Yet Williams had a career year in most areas despite missing about half the season, averaging a double-double to go with 2.5 assists and over a block per game. He’s a productive player when he’s on the floor, and while his defense leaves a lot to be desired, he’s only 23 and has good tools thanks to his 7’6 wingspan and 9’9 standing reach. As a backup, which is what he’d be in San Antonio, his durability shouldn’t be as big of an issue.
The Hornets could try to build up his trade value, but his injury history could scare most franchises looking for a starter. At this point, getting a young player, even one who hasn’t impressed, and two picks could be hard to pass up, especially since it would allow the franchise to move on from an embarrassing moment. Charlotte found a gem in Moussa Diabate and could try to revitalize Jusuf Nurkic’s trade value, so they have the center spot covered.
It would be risky for the Spurs to move a good asset for Williams, but if the deal pans out, they could re-sign him for cheap in restricted free agency.
Getting a proven shooter with size
Spurs trade Keldon Johnson, 14th to the Bulls for Patrick Williams, 2028 second-rounder
Patrick Williams has been a disappointment. The Bulls drafted the forward fourth overall in the 2020 draft, thinking they were getting a cornerstone. Instead, they found a timid player with a low motor who never turned his athleticism and size into consistent production. He’s only started around half of his games in Chicago, and with Matas Buzelis showing promise as a rookie, they could be ready to move on from someone who just hasn’t lived up to the lofty expectations many had for him. Getting an experienced forward and a first-rounder for him should be more than enough to get the Bulls to bite.
The Spurs might wonder if he’s worth the price, considering his spotty track record, but there are some reasons to think the risk is worthwhile. First, the Bulls are dysfunctional, so Williams having a renaissance after a change of scenery, like Lauri Markkanen had, is unlikely but not fully out of the question. Even if he doesn’t, he could be a solid bench piece — he’s expressed that he likes being in the second unit — who is just asked to hit open looks and be a big body. He’s a career 39 percent shooter from beyond the arc, and even in a down year last season, he made 37 percent of his catch-and-shoot threes. Losing Keldon would hurt, but getting a replacement on a similarly team-friendly deal who addresses a weakness could be worth it.
Freed of big expectations, P-Will could carve out a Marvin Williams-esque career as a role player. His contract is long but reasonable, so the Spurs should be able to flip him if he doesn’t work out, and the second-rounder could be good if Chicago rebuilds.
Spurs send Blake Wesley, Malaki Branham, 14th to Washington for Corey Kispert and 18th
Kispert is not without his flaws, but he’s 6’7, made 38 percent of the threes he’s taken in the NBA, and improved greatly as a driving threat when chased off the arc. He doesn’t create his own shots in a traditional way, but his constant off-ball movement means he gets open often and can fire without hesitation off the catch. He’s not a good rebounder, passer, or defender, but knows his role. He’ll shoot when open, operate out of simple actions off the bounce, cut smartly, and compete. Essentially, he’s a younger version of the Doug McDermott that suited up for the Spurs, but on one of the more team-friendly contracts in the league. On a small off-the-bench role, he has some value.
The Wizards simply don’t need Kispert and are cleaning house on guys with contracts that extend past this season, as the recent Jordan Poole trade showed. They could get a prospect they covet by trading up and leapfrogging a few West contenders that could target high-upside guys, and also kick the tires on Wesley and Branham, since they are in rebuilding mode and might trade Marcus Smart next, opening up some room for guards.
It’s a small move for both teams, but it could help them balance out their rosters, and it would allow San Antonio to grab a bench piece and still have a second first-rounder.
