The Spurs, much like the Mavs, might prefer to add to their young core with the second overall pick rather than juggle the salaries of Giannis, Victor Wembanyama, and De'Aaron Fox. The Rockets, as well, might not want to include Amen Thompson or Reed Sheppard in a deal.

The obvious needle-mover is Kevin Durant, who the Warriors nearly landed at the deadline. Milwaukee Bucks superstar, multi-time MVP and NBA champion Giannis Antetokounmpo might just be available, too. Sam Amick of The Athletic recently noted that Antetokounmpo and Curry could have some ties, too.
