On July 10, 2026, Spurs chairman Peter J. Holt, CEO RC Buford, GM Brian Wright, and coach Mitch Johnson traveled to Paris to meet with Victor Wembanyama and his family. Wembanyama is expected to sign a $303 million supermax contract if he plays at least 65 games next season but has chosen to sacrifice part of that deal for the team's betterment. This decision is reminiscent of former Spurs stars Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, and Tony Parker, who similarly took less to contribute to the franchise's success. Follow-up discussions on the potential contract and team strategies are anticipated following this visit.
