what is happening?
This sounds insane.
The Spurs would trade away both first rounders to move up to get Risacher...and presumably begin another season without a PG.
Or would Dejounte somehow be a part of this deal?
My goodness.

How Victor Wembayama can turn San Antonio into a free agent destination
How can the Spurs utilize this offseason to begin building around their franchise superstar, beginning with free agency?
Interesting note:
AS THE SEASON progressed, so did the Spurs.
After the All-Star break, the Spurs had a 111.8 defensive rating which was 12th-best in the league during that stretch. Prior to the break, San Antonio's defensive rating was 117.5, No. 23 in the league.
After experimenting with the best fits around Wembanyama, the Spurs found their preferred starting group in the second half of the season -- Wembanyama, Tre Jones, Devin Vassell, Julian Champagnie and Jeremy Sochan -- which finished with a plus-3.3 net rating in 404 minutes.
That group finished with a 117.4 offensive and a 96.6 defensive rating in 142 minutes with Keldon Johnson in place of Champagnie.
Of the two-man lineups that played consistent minutes with Wembanyama, the only two that finished with a positive net rating for the season were Jones (plus-4.3) and Vassell (plus-1.3).
And this:
Whether or not the Spurs start to make a push this summer remains unknown. If they wait until next summer, they could have closer to $50 million in cap space available. Next summer, the team has its own first-round selection, an unprotected pick from the Atlanta Hawks, a top-10 protected pick from the Chicago Bulls and a lottery-protected first from the Charlotte Hornets at its disposal. Clearing those picks would free some cap space for 2025-26 or allow the team to make a bigger swing.
Then there's this quite article pushing for the Spurs to get Dillingham and Sheppard:
Rob Dillingham is 'openly campaigning' to play with Victor Wembanyama in San Antonio
It's no secret that the San Antonio Spurs are in prime draft position for Reed Sheppard and Rob Dillingham. Could they take both?
And here's an article talking about how Risacher worked out for the Spurs, as well as other players the Spurs have worked out:
Risacher isn’t the only prospect the Spurs have worked out thus far. According to Hoops Hype’s 2024 Draft Workout Tracker, San Antonio has met with the following prospects:
- Zaccharie Risacher, JL Bourg
- Tidjane Salaun, Cholet
- Dillon Jones, Weber State
- Jamal Shead, Houston
- Trentyn Flowers, Adelaide (Australian NBL)
- Tristen Newton, UCONN
- Antonio Reeves, Kentucky
- Boogie Ellis, USC
- Jesse Edwards, West Virginia
- Tristan Enaruna, Cleveland State
- Aaron Estrada, Alabama
- Blake Hinson, Pittsburgh
- KJ Jones, Emmanuel (NCAA D2)
- JT Toppin, New Mexico (withdrew from the draft)
Who the hell is KJ Jones? I get interested when I see players from D2 being scouted. You never know who might develop into something.

The Takeover
Just draft Dillingham. Dude doing everything except walking around with a sign telling the Spurs to pick him
Wemby working out with J Crossover
Derrick. 
Sochan not going nowhere 
KingTut
Green diamonds like a dill pickle
Imagine passing on Sarr if he doesn't got 1 or 2 cause we have Sochan
People keep bytching about how they play the same position but it’d be a dream come true.
Have both those guys playing either 4/5 on defense. Completely position-less on offense.
Then grab Castle at 8 or trade up one or two spots to grab him.
