Spurs aim to outbid Lakers and Knicks for veteran champion Bruce Brown
San Antonio signed Tobias Harris and is expected to pursue former champion Bruce Brown, targeting a veteran presence for Victor Wembanyama.
After reaching the NBA Finals, the San Antonio Spurs signed 33-year-old forward Tobias Harris to a two-year, $31 million deal, bringing experience and floor spacing to the roster. Analysts say the team is also targeting former Denver champion Bruce Brown, whose career earnings total $63 million and who is linked to multiple suitors such as the Lakers, Knicks, Rockets, Mavericks and Pacers. Brown’s reputation as a adaptable role player could provide the young squad with a steadying influence alongside rookie phenom Victor Wembanyama.
The Spurs view veteran mentorship as essential for translating their promising talent into sustained contention. If the acquisition materializes, it would mark a significant effort by the franchise to balance youth with seasoned guidance.
Why it matters
Adding seasoned players could help the Spurs turn their recent Finals run into long-term success.
