The silver lining is that the Spurs got Fox on a great deal. You almost have to take that trade, and sort out the pieces later.
Hard to know what was said behind closed doors about any future extension, but he's a good All-Star caliber player to help get this team back on its feet and hopefully...
Fox isn't a bad 3 point shooter, he's just not elite. Let's see how Castle looks after his offseason training before we decide he can't be a good three point shooter. There is no rush here and Harper is the better prospect, so if Castle can't improve his three point shooting, they'll just trade him.
I appreciate your goal, but I think not accounting for Durant as part of the long-term strategy doesn't make sense. If they trade for him, he's absolutely part of their core as much as Duncan or Manu was in their last years. The way to build for the next 10 years is to build for the next two years...

This entire thread feels like a Kevin O’Connor article. I’m going back to realistic conclusions. Cooper Flagg is not a good fit because the core of a non playoff team is already together? Same with Dylan Harper? This logic doesn’t check out. Bad franchises pass on great players.
The conversation here is about how the Spurs manage overlapping extensions for Fox, Castle, and Harper if they keep all three. Durant or any other veteran on a short timeline is not part of that equation. The long-term cap structure is what this thread is trying to unpack.
I agree. Don't take Harper. Trade down and actually find pieces that allow you to really start building a team. Either through the draft or trades. We don't need another ball dominate guard when we already have two really good ones. Go get us some bigs and wings.
No one is saying they have already made up their mind and closed the book. But you do not need a playoff run to start identifying your foundation. Wemby is clearly that. Castle just won Rookie of the Year and looked like a two-way building block all season. And Fox was not brought in as a...
2024 was a weak draft and the Spurs didn’t want 2 rookies. They didn’t just sell the pick off to the highest bidder. They received an offer that made sense. They could do the same with pick 14 this year.
If only the Spurs had a way of acquiring a star wing while keeping the second pick. Imagine if they could trade for an all-time shot-creating wing while still drafting Harper. It would be even better if that player were older and would be off the books before the young players were up for...

The Spurs were prepared to pick a player last year at 8 until the Timberwolves called while they were on the clock. That deal was not already in place.
The Core that didn’t make the playoffs? The core that won’t make the playoffs next year if they follow these nonsense predictions. The Front Office is not deciding on a core before rising to the top. That’s something bad franchises do. That would go against everything they have said.
No one’s saying the Spurs are passing on Harper just to avoid paying people. That’s been addressed already. It’s not about being scared of money, it’s about timing and how you structure the roster around who you already believe in.
And yeah, the cap is going up. Everyone knows that. But even...

It’s true that part of the thinking here involves looking ahead at possible financial overlap, but it’s not about fear of paying players. It’s about recognizing that if the front office already views Wemby, Castle, and Fox as their core, then locking in another potential max player just a year...
Exactly this! If the Spurs are worried about the future financials they would trade out of the draft all together. If they pick a player in a trade down that is just as good as Harper they will also be giving them the max. The short sightedness of these scenarios reeks of off-season fatigue. ...
