After losing to the New York Knicks in the 2026 NBA Finals in five games, the San Antonio Spurs will likely look to upgrade the roster over the offseason.

Trading for one of the league's best two-way forwards would be one way to do that.

Jaylen Brown named top trade target for Spurs after NBA Finals loss

Boston Celtics star forward Jaylen Brown was recently named a top trade target for the Spurs by Zach Buckley of Bleacher Report.

There have been rumblings that Brown could potentially become available over the offseason, and if he does, the Spurs could offer the Celtics an intriguing package of draft picks and/or young talent.

"Brown, an All-NBA second-teamer, is arguably the best wing on the market. Now, 'on the market' might be overselling his availability, but his future in Boston has been an actual talking point," Buckley wrote.

"While the Celtics would certainly want a fortune for him, the Spurs, who are rich with both draft capital and ascending prospects, are one of the few franchises perfectly positioned to pay an exorbitant price."

While intriguing, this one feels like a longshot. There's certainly no guarantee that Brown will be made available by Boston. Plus, after making it all the way to the Finals, the Spurs might prefer small tweaks to the roster as opposed to sweeping changes.

Anything is possible technically, but Brown landing in San Antonio should officially be classified as unlikely.
