The San Antonio Spurs are embracing a youth-focused strategy centered around Victor Wembanyama. This approach may intensify, as the team has expressed willingness to trade two seasoned players, Doug McDermott and Cedi Osman, before the February 8 deadline. Both players are in the final year of their contracts.

Doug McDermott, with a salary of $13.75 million, had trade offers last season, but the Spurs opted to retain him. However, this season, sources suggest that a trade is more probable, as conveyed by Marc Stein.

Cedi Osman is concluding his contract with $6.7 million remaining. San Antonio acquired Osman from the Cleveland Cavaliers in a trade aimed at clearing salary space before the current season began.
