The San Antonio Spurs have a bevy of compelling young players, some of which are former lottery selections, but the team itself is 14-22. This franchise is poised to make a significant trade or two within the next year. Guards Dejounte Murray and Derrick White have been rumored trade candidates dating back to last season.

San Antonio has a lot of parity on its roster among the youth. If roster shakeups don’t take place, players’ growth and/or trade value will deteriorate. It’s in the Spurs’ best interest to split up Murray and White.
