San Antonio Spurs: Three must-sign free agency targets in the ’20 offseason

With a wide pool of free agents available this offseason, the San Antonio Spurs need to strike while they can and go after these marquee players.

It’s known that the San Antonio Spurs don’t have a whole lot of money to play with this offseason, but that might not stop them from going out and acquiring an influential free agent in 2020.

Considering the financial ramifications of the 2019-20 NBA season suspension, players might have to sacrifice big paydays for long-term financial security this offseason. Free agents who’d normally get big paydays thrown at them could be obtained at a lower price tag than they may have under a more normal situation.

Meanwhile, San Antonio is in dire need of a boost to propel itself back into the playoff picture. The team is sitting outside of the playoffs for the first time in 22 seasons. and they’ll need all the firepower they can get for next year. Head coach Gregg Popovich has holes to fill in his lineup—particularly at the small forward, power forward and center positions.

The 2020 NBA free agency class has some players who fly under-the-radar that the Spurs would be wise to swoop in and sign. More specifically, some players fit their needs while remaining flexible in their timeline and needs. There are valuable veterans who can slot in at multiple positions on one end of the spectrum and projects who can develop into high-level scorers and role players on the other.

These three players are great fits for San Antonio and could slot in for the silver and black without taking away from other players in the lineup.
