2026年NBA选秀大会即将在数小时后开始。马刺队已不再是乐透球队，因此圣安东尼奥对于顶尖新秀花落谁家的期待感已不如以往那般强烈，但银黑军团确实手握第20顺位以及三个次轮签可供运作。如果您对潜在的选秀目标感兴趣，请阅读雅各布·道格拉斯 (Jacob Douglas) 的综合指南。
然而，马刺队使用这些选秀权还有另一种方式。如果他们认为在其顺位范围内没有值得培养的球员，或者有能够立即提供帮助且可通过交易获得的老将，布莱恩·莱特 (Brian Wright) 或许会选择这条路线，而不是向阵容中增添更多年轻人。让我们来看看利用这些可用选秀权进行交易的一些可能性。
马刺将卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet) 和第20顺位签送至独行侠，换取丹尼尔·加福德 (Daniel Gafford) 和第30顺位签
据报道，独行侠正试图交易进入首轮前20顺位，并且愿意送出加福德来实现这一目标。如今为他做球的卢卡·东契奇已经不在队中，这位运动能力出色的攻筐型中锋对于球队体系的重要性已不如前，而且达拉斯方面可能正瞄准用第9顺位选中大个子阿代·马拉，根据ClutchPoints的布雷特·西格尔报道。既然他们阵中已有德雷克·莱夫利，交易走加福德（他上赛季遭遇了伤病但习惯承担较重的上场时间）将有助于他们在从第30顺位向上攀升几个位置的同时，避免内线人员拥堵。
对于马刺来说，此举完全是为了提升运动能力和升级替补中锋位置。科内特在常规赛作为护框者、掩护人和篮板手表现稳定，但在季后赛中发挥挣扎。加福德提供了卢克的大部分功能，同时还是一个危险得多的空接威胁，并且在一些深入季后赛的独行侠阵中证明了自己是可靠的季后赛贡献者。这笔交易将涉及增加薪资，但圣安东尼奥远未达到奢侈税起征线，因此这在本赛季不会成为主要问题，而且如果加福德表现不佳，他身背的是一份可交易的合同。如果有人选顺位下滑，莱特还将拥有第30和第35顺位签，并且他可能希望能在首轮向上交易几个顺位。
假设马刺认为加福德是一次升级并尝试得到他，问题在于他们可能会有竞争对手。黄蜂队看起来是大个子的理想去处，因为他们缺少一名首发级别的老将，并且拥有第18和第14顺位签。公牛队在中锋位置上也存在空缺，并拥有第15顺位签。手握第19顺位的猛龙队可以提供他们的选秀权并送回一些天赋球员。即使圣安东尼奥有动力，完成这笔交易也可能很困难，但或许值得一试，特别是如果达拉斯方面看重科内特作为替补中锋是一个不错的临时替代选择。
马刺将第20顺位签送至雄鹿，换取博比·波蒂斯 (Bobby Portis)
雄鹿即将交易扬尼斯·阿德托昆博。如果他们接受热火的报价并选择重建，那么他们对波蒂斯将毫无用处。波蒂斯深受球迷喜爱且依然高产，但下赛季他将年满32岁。一个首轮签应该足以吸引他们交易他，尤其是在不回收任何薪资的情况下。波蒂斯看起来真的很喜欢密尔沃基，但如果他们选择年轻化路线，他很可能乐见换个环境。而加盟圣安东尼奥，与维克托·文班亚马并肩作战并担任其替补，肯定会让他感兴趣。
这笔交易要到新赛季才能完成，因为马刺将使用他们的中产特例来吸收他的合同。圣安东尼奥同意进行这笔交易的原因在于，波蒂斯似乎完美契合他们在大个子深度上的需求。他可以打大前锋，也可以在打小个阵容时担当中锋，能够高水准地命中三分球，并带来韧性和篮板能力。
自由球员市场上会不会有更好的选择来使用中产特例，从而让银黑军团无需交易选秀权，同时还能在没有大前锋漏洞的情况下迎来揭幕战？这是可能的，但波蒂斯看起来是个不错的选择，尤其是当马刺在第20顺位范围内没有他们钟爱的球员时。
马刺将第20顺位签送至76人，换取多米尼克·巴洛 (Dominick Barlow) 和第22顺位签
巴洛，这位前马刺双向合同球员，上赛季在76人队迎来了一个小幅爆发的赛季。出于必要，费城给了他场均接近24分钟的上场时间，他则以场均7.7分、4.8个篮板和1.2次助攻作为回报。在他最大的弱点——三分投射上，他并没有真正实现巨大飞跃，但他做出了许多充满拼搏精神的表演，并且在防守端看起来不错。他的表现足够令人印象深刻，以至于球队将他的双向合同转为了标准合同。
现在的问题是，巴洛既便宜又表现尚可，那么76人为什么不直接执行他2026/27赛季的廉价球队选项呢？原因是，当初签下并转换巴洛合同的达里尔·莫雷已经离开，取而代之的是迈克·甘西。甘西可能并不欣赏巴洛，如果他有机会通过交易一名自己不视为球队未来一部分的球员来向上爬升两个顺位，以确保得到他喜欢的球员，他很可能会扣动扳机。
巴洛是否足够优秀，能够解决马刺在大前锋/中锋位置上的深度问题？并非如此，但他只有23岁，了解这支球队，并且很可能比大多数新秀准备得更充分，能立即做出贡献。而且，在这种情况下，得到他只需要向下交易两个顺位，并将使用特例吸收其合同（这再次意味着需要等待一段时间才能正式完成交易），所以给他一个在圣安东尼奥的新机会并非最坏的主意。如果莱特想要的人选可能在第22顺位还能选到，那么在此过程中增加一些廉价、年轻的阵容深度将是明智之举。
马刺应该交易选秀权换取老将，还是向下交易并挑选某人？如果他们愿意交易第20顺位签，你认为他们应该瞄准谁？

The Spurs could add veteran depth by trading the 20th pick in the NBA Draft
The 2026 NBA Draft is hours away. The Spurs are no longer a lottery team, so there’s not as much anticipation in San Antonio about where the top prospects will land, but the Silver and Black does have the 20th overall pick and three second-rounders to play with. If you are interested in what the potential targets could be, read Jacob Douglas’ comprehensive guide.
There is another way the Spurs could use their picks, however. If there’s no one in their range they think is worth bringing along, or if there’s a veteran they think could help immediately and would be available via trade, Brian Wright might just go that route instead of adding more youngsters to the roster. Let’s take a look at some trade possibilities using the available picks.
Spurs send Luke Kornet and the 20th pick to the Mavericks for Daniel Gafford and the 30th pick
The Mavericks are reportedly trying to trade into the top 20 and are willing to use Gafford to do so. The athletic rim-running center is not as important as he once was for their system now that his set-up man, Luka Doncic, isn’t around, and Dallas might be targeting big man Aday Mara with the ninth pick, according to ClutchPoints’ Brett Siegl. Since they have Derek Lively around, moving Gafford, who dealt with injuries last season but is used to playing heavy minutes, would help them avoid a logjam while moving up a few spots from 30th.
For the Spurs, the move is all about getting more athletic and upgrading their backup center position. Kornet was solid in the regular season as a rim protector, screener, and rebounder, but he struggled in the playoffs. Gafford offers most of what Luke does while also being a much more dangerous lob threat and a proven postseason contributor on some Mavericks teams that went deep in the playoffs. The trade would involve adding salary, but San Antonio is not close to the aprons, so it wouldn’t be a major issue this season, and if Gafford doesn’t work out, he’s on a movable contract. Brian Wright would also have the 30th and 35th pick if someone drops, and he wants to move up a couple of spots in the first round.
Assuming the Spurs consider Gafford an upgrade and try to get him, the issue is that they could have competitors. The Hornets seem like a prime destination for a big man, since they lack a starting-quality veteran, and they have the 18th and 14th picks. The Bulls also have a hole at center and have the 15th pick. The Raptors, picking 19th, could offer their pick and some talent back. It might be hard to get the deal done even if San Antonio is motivated, but it could be worth trying, especially if Dallas values Kornet as a good stopgap option as a backup.
Spurs send the 20th pick to the Bucks for Bobby Portis
The Bucks are going to trade Giannis Antetokounmpo. If they go with the Heat’s offer and opt to rebuild, they would have no use for Portis, who is a fan favorite and still productive, but will turn 32 during next season. A first-rounder should be enough to entice them to trade him, especially while taking no salary back. Portis seems to really like Milwaukee, but if they opt to go young, he’d likely see a change of scenery with good eyes. And landing in San Antonio, where he would play with and back up Victor Wembanyama, would surely interest him.
The move couldn’t be completed until the new season, because the Spurs would be using their mid-level exception to absorb his contract. The reason for San Antonio to go through with this is that Portis seems to fit what they need in terms of big man depth perfectly. He can play power forward and center on small lineups, hit threes at a high level, and bring toughness and rebounding.
Will there be a better option in free agency to use the mid-level exception on, allowing the Silver and Black to not have to trade a pick while still heading into opening night without a hole at power forward? It’s possible, but Portis seems like a good option, especially if the Spurs don’t have anyone they love in the 20th pick’s range.
Spurs send the 20th pick to the 76ers for Dominick Barlow, the 22nd pick
Barlow, a former Spurs two-way player, had a bit of a breakout season with the 76ers last season. By necessity, Philadelphia gave him almost 24 minutes per game, and he responded by averaging 7.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 1.2 assists. He didn’t really make a big leap on his biggest weakness, three-point shooting, but he made a lot of hustle plays and looked good on defense. He was impressive enough that they converted his two-way contract into a standard deal.
Now, Barlow is cheap and was reasonably productive, so why wouldn’t the 76ers just pick up his cheap option for the 2026/27 season? Well, Daryl Morey, who signed and converted Barlow’s contract, is gone, replaced by Mike Gansey. Gansey might not be a Barlow fan, and if he’s presented with the opportunity to climb two spots to make sure he gets the player he likes by trading a player he doesn’t consider a part of the future of the team, he’d likely pull the trigger.
Is Barlow good enough to solve the Spurs’ depth issues at the big forward/center spots? Not really, but he’s just 23 years old, knows the franchise, and is likely more ready to contribute than most rookies would be. And since in this scenario he’d only cost moving down two spots and would be absorbed using an exception (which again, means waiting a while until the deal can be finalized), it wouldn’t be the worst idea to give him a new opportunity in San Antonio. If whoever Brian Wright wants could be there at 22nd, adding some cheap, young depth in the process could be smart.
Should the Spurs trade the pick for a veteran or trade down and pick someone up? Who do you think they should target if they are willing to move the 20th pick?
