Would the Spurs, Lakers, or Warriors agree to the trade?

Wright is known for his opinionated takes, which has resulted in him garnering more attention, even if those takes sometimes border on the questionable. This appears to be one of those takes, with the Warriors likely unwilling to part with Steph Curry at any cost, and the same being said for the Lakers and LeBron James. While the Warriors getting Vassell, Collins, and two future firsts would be a nice haul for any other player on their team, it certainly wouldn't be for Curry.

Meanwhile, the same goes for the Lakers, with Johnson and two first-round picks, but they probably aren't moving LeBron unless he wants to be traded. Lastly, while the Spurs would surely love to have both Curry and LeBron, they'd be pairing Wembanyama with a 39-year-old in Paul, a 36-year-old in Curry, and a 38-year-old in LeBron.

The Spurs are in a perfect position to build around Wembanyama thanks to their treasure trove of draft picks that they have been carefully hoarding for years. Additionally, Vassell is one of the better shooters in the NBA and is on a cheap contract that will likely pay him below market value for the next five seasons. Ironically, the Spurs wouldn't do the deal either as a result, so with the adage "which team says no," it looks like the Spurs, Lakers, and Warriors would all say no to Wright's outlandish proposed trade.
