In this story:

San Antonio Spurs

1. CP3 IN SA?

"You look at the Spurs roster, and you see a bunch of wings and Victor Wembanyama," KENS5 Reporter Tom Petrini said of Paul's basketball fit with the Spurs. "Maybe one of the greatest point guards in the history of the game could help get everything organized and be a boon to Victor in his rookie season.

"It's hard to not see what the potential of that fit is here in San Antonio."

2. HOW ABOUT AUSTIN REAVES?

"Trying to sign Reaves away from the Los Angeles Lakers would be a terrific move," Bleacher Report writes. "Reaves looked like the Lakers third-best player during the postseason, able to serve a primary ball-handler or off-the-ball threat."

3. SPURS CHAMPIONSHIP ODDS

The 2022-23 season is over and the Denver Nuggets are NBA champions. Now, sights are set on next year and every team has a shot to win the title.

Some teams have better odds than others and most have greater chances than the San Antonio Spurs.

BetOnline has the Spurs listed at 100/1 odds. The Nuggets are projected to repeat with the best odds at 4/1.

4. WEMBY'S NEXT GAME

Victor Wembanyama and Metropolitans 92 faces off against Monaco in Game 3 of the LNB Pro A Finals on Thursday. Tipoff is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. CT.
