The San Antonio Spurs rounded out their frontcourt this offseason, which bodes well for one key player and his devolpment.

Former Gonzaga Bulldogs standout Kelly Olynyk is getting traded for a third time in 2025, while fellow Zags product Chet Holmgren has a new deal.

He was just traded two days ago from New Orleans to Washington in the three-team deal that included CJ McCollum and Jordan Poole.

The San Antonio Spurs traded Blake Wesley and Malaki Branham to the Washington Wizards for Kelly Olynyk, and Jeremy Sochan was quick to drop his reaction.

The Spurs have now acquired two talented centers this offseason. After signing the 7-foot-1 Luke Kornet, they traded Tuesday night for sharpshooting Kelly Olynyk, per ESPN's Shams Charania. San Antonio clearly doesn't want Wembanyama to have to worry about playing in a traditional center role.

Kelly Olynyk is on the move again two weeks after getting traded. The veteran forward was traded by the Wizards to the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported. Olynyk was traded to Washington by the New Orleans Pelicans on June 24.

Wizards Facing Backlash After Trade Announcement on Sunday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. With their recent moves, the Washington Wizards have positioned themselves quite well for next year's free agency. First, they traded Kyle Kuzma for Khris Middleton at the NBA trade deadline, then traded Jordan Poole for CJ McCollum and Kelly Olynyk.
