The San Antonio Spurs are setting their sights on a backup center after a successful NBA Draft, focusing on potential free agents like Brook Lopez, Clint Capela, and Guerschon Yabusele. Among the frontrunners, Luke Kornet of the Boston Celtics stands out as an unrestricted free agent who could receive lucrative offers. Kornet’s career stats show he averaged 6 points, 5.3 rebounds, and a block in the previous season, and the Spurs could offer him a more significant role in their frontcourt, potentially increasing his minutes to over 20 per game.

While Lopez and Capela offer defensive strength, Kornet's addition could still enhance the Spurs' frontcourt depth as they aim to build a competitive team around Victor Wembanyama. Kornet has yet to earn over $3 million in a single season, making this offseason a critical time for him to secure a more lucrative contract. The Spurs' interest signals a strategic move to bolster their roster and instill a winning mentality.
