Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

Brian Windhorst: "Victor Wembanyama agreed to five years and 250 million. It is a great contract, but it does not have the escalator in it, what we call the Rose provision, which means if he had won the MVP award, won Defensive Player of the Year again, or made the All-NBA team in this upcoming season, he would have gotten the bump from 25% of the cap to 30% of the cap. That is going to be worth potentially 53 million dollars, somewhere in the neighborhood of 10-plus million dollars a year." Victor Wembanyama’s extension: "It does not create cap space, but it does create significant flexibility in this apron era where the second apron is so dreaded. And it is a partnership. You do not just give a discount out of the goodness of your heart. You give a discount, and the deal is: I will take 25%, and I will take less if you promise to maintain a championship-caliber supporting cast around me. That is the partnership. That is the promise from the Spurs."
