As we approach less than a week until the 2024 NBA Draft, Yahoo Sports' Jake Fischer reported that the San Antonio Spurs are open to moving their second pick of the first round.

"San Antonio has also made the No. 8 pick available, sources said," Fischer wrote on Friday.

The Spurs are slotted as the fourth and eighth picks in the 2024 NBA Draft, putting them in a prime position to add even more young talent or trade the picks for a seasoned veteran in the offseason.

Should San Antonio decide to make a trade with its eighth pick, in front of them are the Portland Trailblazers, who have also made their pick available as Fischer reported that they called the Houston Rockets about trading up for No. 3 overall. Behind the Spurs are the Memphis Grizzlies at No. 9, but they might also trade up to increase their chances of improving their frontcourt.

San Antonio was rewarded late for its deal with the Toronto Raptors, in which the Canadian team traded away two second rounders and this year's first-round pick for Jakob Poeltl, giving the Spurs Khem Birch as well. The first-rounder was top-6 protected, but the lottery was not in Toronto's favor.

The Raptors earned the eighth pick overall, meaning they had to convey it to the Spurs, giving San Antonio a second top-10 pick — the only team this season with such an arrangement.

According to San Antonio Express-News reporter Tom Orsborn, who was in the drawing room for the NBA Lottery selection, San Antonio was one number away from earning the No. 1 overall pick for the second season in a row, but the final digit allowed it to go to the Atlanta Hawks.

The Spurs currently have a total of four picks: No. 4, No. 8, No. 35 (second round) and No. 48 (second round).
