自2022年6月30日以来，圣安东尼奥马刺队经历了一系列阶段，最终走到了上周一——他们全明星级别的后卫德阿龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 签下了一份为期四年的顶薪续约合同。这是管理层发出的一个信号：他们终于准备好重返胜利轨道了。
在展望未来之前，让我们先快速回顾一下马刺队是如何走到今天这一步的：
第一阶段：推倒重建。 将德章泰·默里 (Dejounte Murray) 交易至亚特兰大老鹰，让马刺队走上了一条25年多来未曾踏足的道路。在季后赛边缘徘徊了几年之后，圣安东尼奥终于在2022年休赛期初痛下决心，交易走了他们新晋的全明星球员，换回了一系列以首轮选秀权为核心的资产。那个赛季，管理层直到2023年2月的交易截止日前，都在陆续交易队内的资深球员，包括雅各布·珀尔特尔 (Jakob Poeltl)、约什·理查德森 (Josh Richardson) 以及德里克·怀特 (Derrick White)（他在默里交易前几个月被送走）。在这一年半的时间里，银黑军团积累了大量的选秀资产、极具潜力的球员，以及更重要的——高顺位乐透签概率，这让他们得以在2023年夏天进入第二阶段。
第二阶段：重建。 圣安东尼奥很幸运，非常幸运。在他们主动摆烂的第一个年头，他们就赢得了2023年NBA选秀的状元签，从而获得了选择“团队体育史上最伟大的新秀之一”——法国天才维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 的权利。第二阶段有时是NBA球队最难摆脱的困境，你可能会年复一年地与乐透抽签的乒乓球好运失之交臂，无法等到一位建队基石级别的球员降临。但对圣安东尼奥来说，他们立刻就明白，自己的重建不会持续太久。对于那些持怀疑态度的人，维克托的新秀赛季无疑改变了他们的看法。他全票当选年度最佳新秀（ROTY），在年度最佳防守球员（DPOY）评选中位列第二，并打出了NBA历史上最出色的新秀赛季之一。这位法国少年仅仅出战了七十一场比赛，外界就已经有大量声音催促球队必须“梭哈”。然而，马刺在去年休赛期稳扎稳打，不愿跳过任何步骤，继续按照自己的时间表培养文班亚马和其他年轻球员。他们引进了几位老将帮助稳定局面，但仍坚持让年轻核心掌握主导权。在赛季强势开局后，距离2025年NBA交易截止日还有几周时，2017年第五顺位新秀、明星后卫德阿龙·福克斯进入了交易市场，并且他的心仪下家名单上只有一个名字：马刺队。面对一位福克斯这样天赋异禀且主动希望与文班亚马并肩作战的球员，银黑军团利用这一优势，几乎是从萨克拉门托“抢”走了福克斯。这标志着他们开始向第三阶段过渡。不幸的是，文班和福克斯都因健康问题未能打完赛季，但这让马刺队最后一次进入了乐透区。然后在2025年8月4日，也就是德阿龙·福克斯获得续约资格的第二天，他便完成了签约，正式将圣安东尼奥推向了重返巅峰之旅的下一个阶段。
第三阶段：进军季后赛。 马刺队本休赛期的目标非常明确：让自己处于最佳位置，七年来首次品尝到季后赛的滋味。他们达成了这个目标，同时没有放弃长期资产，并继续给予年轻球员带领球队走向未来的机会。
米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson)、布莱恩·莱特 (Brian Wright) 以及其他教练组和管理层成员，在抵达 第四阶段：争冠行列 之前，仍有大量工作要做。但以下是他们在过去几个月中的成果：
NBA选秀
- 迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) #2
- 卡特·布莱恩特 (Carter Bryant) #14
自由市场签约
- 卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet) — 4年，4100万美元
- 乔丹·麦克劳林 (Jordan McLaughlin) — 1年，230万美元 (续约)
- 林迪·沃特斯三世 (Lindy Waters III) — 1年，230万美元
- 大卫·琼斯-加西亚 (David Jones-Garcia) — 双向合同
- 莱利·米尼克斯 (Riley Minix) – 双向合同 (续约)
- 哈里森·英格拉姆 (Harrison Ingram) – 双向合同 (续约)
交易运作
- 凯利·奥利尼克 (Kelly Olynyk)
目前阵容
后卫： 德阿龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox)、斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle)、迪伦·哈珀、乔丹·麦克劳林、大卫·琼斯-加西亚 (双向合同)
侧翼： 德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell)、凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson)、朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie)、卡特·布莱恩特、林迪·沃特斯三世、莱利·米尼克斯 (双向合同)
前锋： 哈里森·巴恩斯 (Harrison Barnes)、杰里米·索汉 (Jeremy Sochan)、哈里森·英格拉姆 (双向合同)
内线： 维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama)、卢克·科内特、凯利·奥利尼克
在选秀中，他们在第2顺位（迪伦·哈珀）和第14顺位（卡特·布莱恩特）都选到了当时可选的最佳球员。这两位球员不仅拥有极高的上限，其技术特点也足以让他们从第一天起就成为有影响力的NBA球员。
在自由市场上，他们通过签约卢克·科内特，为文班下场休息时提供了护筐能力和内线尺寸，并通过交易得到全能而又老练的内线球员凯利·奥利尼克，从而填补了上赛季的短板。
最后，作为点睛之笔，马刺队用一份双向合同奖励了他们在夏季联赛中入选最佳阵容一阵的双能卫大卫·琼斯-加西亚。
随着我们进入NBA休赛期的平静期——自由市场因四位备受瞩目的受限制自由球员而暂时停滞，训练营也尚未开始——银黑军团2025-26赛季的阵容已接近完成，仅剩一个常规阵容名额待定。
从薪金表来看，圣安东尼奥目前距离奢侈税线还有790万美元的空间，这让他们在赛季剩余时间里仍有一定的操作余地。他们仍然拥有价值510万美元的全额双年特例，可以在年内通过自由市场或交易来获得球员。
最终阵容预测
阵容补充：
- 一名经验丰富的前锋
揭幕战首发五虎 (若全员健康)：
- 德阿龙·福克斯
- 斯蒂芬·卡斯尔
- 德文·瓦塞尔
- 哈里森·巴恩斯
- 维克托·文班亚马
休赛期评分：A。剑指更多冠军旗帜。

The Spurs enter the next phase in their quest back to the top
Ever since June 30, 2022, the San Antonio Spurs have gone through a number of phases which have led to this past Monday where their All-Star calibre guard De’Aaron Fox signed a four-year maximum contract extension. A statement from the organisation to signal that they are finally ready to transition back into winning ways.
Before we look towards the future, lets take a quick look back at how the Spurs have got to where they are now:
Phase One: The Teardown. The trade of Dejounte Murray to the Atlanta Hawks set the Spurs down a path they hadn’t gone in over 25 years. After a couple of years of teetering around the playoff picture, San Antonio finally bit the bullet to begin the 2022 offseason, trading away their newly named All-Star for a package that centered around a number of first-round draft picks. That season the front office would go on to trade a number of veteran players up until the trade deadline in February of 2023. Players including Jakob Poeltl, Josh Richardson and Derrick White (who was traded a couple months prior to Murray). Over that year and a half, the Silver & Black accumulated a bunch of draft capital, intriguing assets and more importantly high lottery odds that allowed them to move into phase two in the summer of ‘23.
Phase Two: The Rebuild. San Antonio got lucky. Really lucky. In just their first year of organically tanking they won the 2023 NBA draft lottery and the rights to draft “one of the greatest prospects in team sports history”, the French phenom, Victor Wembanyama. Phase two is sometimes the hardest for NBA organisations to get out from, you can go years and years without the ping-pong balls going your way and a franchise player falling into your lap. For San Antonio though, they knew instantly they weren’t going to be rebuilding for long. For those they didn’t believe, Victor’s rookie season certainly changed their tune. He was unanimous ROTY, runner-up in DPOY and had one of the best rookie seasons in NBA history. After just seventy-one games of the French teenager there was already a ton of noise surrounding the organisation from the outside that they had to go “all-in”. Instead, the Spurs played it slow last offseason, not wanting to skip any steps and continuing to develop Wembanyama and their other young players on their own timetable. They brought in a couple of vets to help manage the ship but maintained that the young core would have the keys. After a strong start to the season and a couple of weeks prior to the 2025 NBA trade deadline, the fifth pick in the 2017 draft and star guard De’Aaron Fox became available and only had one team on his wishlist: The Spurs. With a player of Fox’s talent available and pushing to come play with Vic, the Silver & Black used their leverage to all-but-swipe Fox away from Sacramento. This was the start of their transition into phase three. Unfortunately both Wemby and Fox couldn’t finish the season due to health issues but that gave the Spurs one last dip into the lottery pool. Then on August 4, 2025 the day after De’Aaron Fox became eligible to sign an extension, he did, and officially pushed San Antonio into the next phase in their quest back to the top.
Phase Three: The Playoffs. This offseason for the Spurs was clearly about getting themselves in the best possible position to be able to play some post-season basketball for the first time in seven years. They accomplished that goal without giving up long-term assets and still continuing to give their young players the chance to lead this team into the future.
Mitch Johnson, Brian Wright and the rest of the coaching and front office staff still have lots of work to do before they arrive at Phase Four: The Contenders. But here is what they got up to these past few months:
NBA Draft
- Dylan Harper #2
- Carter Bryant #14
Free Agency signings
- Luke Kornet — 4 years, $41 million
- Jordan McLaughlin — 1 year, $2.3 million (Re-sign)
- Lindy Waters III — 1 year, $2.3 million
- David Jones-Garcia — Two-Way
- Riley Minix – Two-Way (Re-sign)
- Harrison Ingram – Two-Way (Re-sign)
Trade Season
- Kelly Olynyk
Current Roster
Guards: De’Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle, Dylan Harper, Jordan McLaughlin, David Jones-Garcia (Two-Way)
Wings: Devin Vassell, Keldon Johnson, Julian Champagnie, Carter Bryant, Lindy Waters III, Riley Minix (Two-Way)
Forwards: Harrison Barnes, Jeremy Sochan, Harrison Ingram (Two-Way)
Bigs: Victor Wembanyama, Luke Kornet, Kelly Olynyk
In the draft they added the best players available at both pick #2 (Dylan Harper) and pick #14 (Carter Bryant). Two players who have sky-high ceilings but also have a skillset that will make them impactful NBA players from day dot.
In free agency, they plugged holes from last season, with Luke Kornet coming in to provide rim protection and size for when Wemby sits as well as getting a versatile savvy big in Kelly Olynyk by trade.
Then to top it off, the Spurs rewarded their All-Summer League first team performer and combo-guard David Jones-Garcia with a two-way contract.
As we enter into the quiet period of the NBA calendar, where free agency is currently being halted by a quartet of high-profile restricted free agents and training camp is yet to begin, the Silver & Black’s roster for the 2025-26 season is close to completion, with just one standard roster spot up for grabs.
In terms of their cap sheet, San Antonio sit $7.9M under the luxury tax line, allowing them to still have some breathing room throughout the rest of the season. They still have access to the full Bi-Annual Exception that is worth $5.1M and can use this to acquire a player(s) via free agency or trades throughout the year.
Final roster predictions
Roster additions:
- Veteran Forward
Starting 5 in Game 1 (if everyone is available):
- De’Aaron Fox
- Stephon Castle
- Devin Vassell
- Harrison Barnes
- Victor Wembanyama
Offseason Grade: A. Trying to hang more banners.
You heard him!
