As the 2025 NBA offseason approaches, the San Antonio Spurs are focusing on essential roster improvements. After successfully selecting Dylan Harper with the second overall pick in the NBA Draft, they aim to enhance their wing rotation by acquiring a 3-point shooter capable of defending.

To this end, the Spurs have added Carter Bryant, a promising 3-and-D talent. Their next move is to address their need for a backup center. Brook Lopez, Clint Capela, and Guerschon Yabusele are potential targets. Notably, Lopez's combination of shot-blocking and floor-spacing makes him a highly sought-after player. However, the Los Angeles Lakers, who also seek a center, are poised to create competition for Lopez, making the Spurs' financial advantage potentially moot in a bidding war.

While the Spurs can offer a lucrative deal, the allure of playing in a star-studded Lakers lineup with the likes of LeBron James may sway Lopez towards Los Angeles. Although he would back up Victor Wembanyama in San Antonio, the prospect of starting on a team with title aspirations could be enticing. The Spurs' strategy must navigate these complex dynamics to secure the right fit for their roster.
