San Antonio Spurs Trade Rumors: 3 things to expect from the Spurs before the trade deadline

#2 They fail to add a point guard

Chicago Bulls v Philadelphia 76ers

Over the last year, the San Antonio Spurs have endured somewhat of a nightmare at the point guard position. Firstly, Tony Parker made the surprise decision to leave the team during the 2018 offseason, and the Frenchman's exit was reportedly something that the Spurs hadn't planned for. In addition to this, the Spurs' starting guard, Dejounte Murray went down injured in preseason and was subsequently ruled out for the entire 18/19 campaign.

Nevertheless, despite calls from San Antonio fans to sign a new point guard, Popovich has repeatedly stated that he won't be adding another guard. Instead, Derrick White and Patty Mills will continue to share the starting role until the end of the season, although the Spurs are likely to target the likes of Dennis Smith Jr., Markelle Fultz, and Terry Rozier during the 2019 offseason.
