The girl in your avi. Yummers.

[cd98]

3 first round picks

[cd98]

Gotta be some players though

[mystargtr34]

My guess is the Spurs gave the Bulls their pick back and gave back the Kings 2031 swap.

[mikec]

OMG!!!!!!! ITS HAPPENING

WE ARE ON BOYS

[vy65]

Tre and Zollins???

Collins is gone. Praise Allah

Fleece depends on which picks.

[Kefka]

Collins and Jones to Bulls

[NASpurs]

Zollins...noooooooooooooo /s

[Leetonidas]

Thank fucking GOD Collins is gone

[vy65]

Wait. We get Fox and the Best Friends Gang stays together?

[NASpurs]

BTW, do we owe Dusty Garza and Don Harris an apology? :lol

This. We need more info on this to know if we overpaid or not.

I wished we would have offloaded Keldon, at least, tbh.

There's a ride leaving Dallas if Zach can hurry

[vy65]

Holy shit we sent the worst picks out? Keep Atl’s and Dal’s. Fucking A, this is awesome.

https://x.com/shamscharania/status/1886228220925943975?s=46&t=_hOkVHptcbAMOAEHj_SvkA

Didn't lose Devin, Keldon, Jeremy, or either ATL Picks. B-Wright masterclass tbh.

[DAF86]

Spurs gave up the fake CHA pick, their own 2027 1st, the 20131 Minny 1st, and returned Chicago's pick to them

Wait, that's all. Damn, Brian Wright fucking cooked. :lol

[ffadicted]

Holy SHIT we absolutely RINSED THEM. Omg Brian I will literally get on my knees.
That Dillingham trade making this happen is absolutely UNREAL too, looks so good now in hindsight. WE ARE BACK BABY

[Dod01]

What a trade steal! D-Fox just turned 27. Man the weirdness just keeps going. I'll take it.

[NASpurs]

Keeping the ATL pick is kind of sick, not going to lie. I'm going to stop calling Brian Wright, Brian Wrong. Let 'em eat crow :lol

[Gibbz]

FLEECED!! LFG

[mikec]

A+++++++ BRIGHT!!!

[NickiRasgo]

I'm still shocked with the Luka Doncic trade that I feel numb about this trade but getting to that excitement feeling especially once the full details are up

[SPURt]

Brian Wright took them to cleaners, holy moly

[weeks]

we didn't have to give up castle OR vassell? WOW

[timtonymanu]

Holy shit that’s a good deal. Only lost Tre. Good riddance Zollins.

[NASpurs]

Didn't lose Devin, Keldon, Jeremy, or either ATL Picks. B-Wright masterclass tbh.

On similar news, seems like we still have a boat load of players we can still trade :lol

[mo7888]

Brian Wright... I'm sorry I ever doubted you... This is amazing!

[tonight...you]

Wait. We get Fox and the Best Friends Gang stays together?
Never underestimate the Power of FRIENDSHIP.

[Dex]

This is a huge WIN of a deal, holy shit

And we don't have to watch Zollins anymore!

Sorry Tre...you were a good soldier

EDIT: And we still keep that Dallas 2031 pick which is going to get spicy

[cd98]

Whoa Paul and Fox start? Can't play Sochan and Castle together... should be interesting. Sacramento ESPN guys are very sad.

[KDKSpurs24]

Brian FUCKING Wright!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Brian Wright did a fantastic job, FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!

[Leetonidas]

How is this the trade that crashed RealGM when the Luka trade didn't last night:lol

[Tyronn Lue]

https://i.imgur.com/bDBSl4h.png

[Leetonidas]

Also :lmao at Mr. Body swearing up and down this was fake news being pushed by Klutch

[ffadicted]

Holy fucking shit this is the rinsing of a lifetime... essentially got Fox for:


Zach Collins (not in rotation)
Sidy Cissoko (not in rotation)
Tre Jones (not needed with Fox Paul and Castle)
'25 Charlotte pick (not happening anyway)
'25 Chicago pick (not happening this year, and protected anyway)
'27 Spurs (Wemby and Fox will make sure this is 20+)
'31 Minnesota (We will forget about this by then)


Absolutely unfuckingreal rinsing. Kept our pick this year, BOTH atlanta's picks, AND the dallas pick, and the Minnesota swap. How the fuck did we pull this off

[bevo]

We kept the SAC 1st round pick or swap from this past summer?

[timtonymanu]

The kings really wanted to try the Lavine and Demar combo again.

[Dex]

I really can't believe we got this trade done without giving up KJ or Vassell

[Gibbz]

No young players and no Hawks picks is genuinely unbelievable. Let's fucking go!

[texbound]

I see another deal coming before 6 Feb. Too many players in a logjam. Vassell, Johnson, Fox, Castle, Paul and only limited minutes.

[Kevin]

The Hornets pick will turn into two second rounders so the Spurs got Fox for 5 second rounders, a first that was unlikely to convey in the Bulls pick, a crappy 2027 pick and another pick six years in the future.

[ffadicted]

[Duncan2177]

Great job Brian Wright. :flag:

[GoSpurs99]

This might be the greatest in-season Spurs trade ever! What a deal!!

[spursistan]

Holy molly this fleeecce!!!!!! :lol

[Devi8or]

Dang, good deal without any of the names we thought. Good luck to Tre, he was what he was, but he was always a team player and was able to help in spots

[TheBallsbreakers]

So what's the SL gonna be like?

Wemby, Barnes, Vassell, Castle, Fox?

Moving Paul to the bench ,Jeremy stays there too as he's damn near unplayable next to castle? Can Vassell play SF?

Does this indicate Paul getting moved before the deadline?

[100%duncan]

In the past 10 years (including 2014 title)

-2014
-#1 draft in Wemby sweepstakes
-Today



What a fucking day

[Dex]

Now the PG situation becomes interesting...does Paul still start, or is he on the move?

[vy65]

1886233395958890738

Bahahahahaha

[024]

What an amazing trade without giving up Castle/Vassell/Sochan or either of the ATL picks. And they turned the CHA pick into some value??

[BacktoBasics]

This was brilliant folding Chicago into this trade. We weren’t going to see that pick for god knows how long. But now Chicago can get a nice lottery pick for their tanking efforts and return more value to Sacramento than we could have. Allowing us to not have to come as strong with our better picks and rotation players.

This is just smart angling by the FO.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Well shit, that worked.

what a crazy couple nba days

Brian Wright man :toast

[100%duncan]

Now the PG situation becomes interesting...does Paul still start, or is he on the move?

I hope CP stays for the play-in push. But, if he wants to go to a contender, hope we do right by him tbh.


The next move is for Wemby's back up.

[mystargtr34]

Fox / CP3
Castle / Champ
Vassell / Keldon
Barnes / Sochan
Wemby / Bassey

Stacked tbh.

But keep being obsessed. :

Ya gotta think they are shipping CR3 and Keldon before trade deadline for another piece

[paperboy77]

Wow! Completely blown away... fucken Go Spurs Go bitches!

I think we probably gotta thank that Doncic fiasco for the Kings coming back to earth on their demands.

Also, as some have said, the spurs cannot be done with the trades yet. Wow this is truly amazing.

Brian WRIGHT for the time being :lol

Yep, getting the third team involved allowed the trade to happen. The Spurs weren't going to give Sac what they wanted in a straight up deal.

[GoSpurs99]

After this trade, the Spurs need another big. Maybe another trade in the works?

[Mugen]

I'm assuming Castle moves to the bench.

CP3 / Castle
Fox
Vassell/Keldon
Barnes/Champagnie
Wemby/Sochan


Not a bad 9man rotation at all tbh.

[TheChillFactor]

So we only gave up our own pick in 27, when we have ATL’s anyway. Those other picks were just the ones we got maneuvering in the offseasons

[gilmor]

Shit, even I can't hate that deal.

Haha u too fucking funny

[texbound]

Anyway they can trade Vassell/Johnson to Utah for John Collins. Just asking.

I would be down for a

Fox/CP3
Castle/Champagne
IBarnes/Sochan
Collins/Sochan
Wemby/Bassey

Lineup

[Rosewood]

Wow… lowkey a hosing… I can’t believe we didn’t give up Vassell.

CP3 / Castle
Fox
Vassell/Keldon
Barnes/Champagnie
Wemby/Sochan


Not a bad 9man rotation at all tbh.

Still need another trade. Need to add another PF or C to this team.

[SupremeGuy]

When I first saw the details I thought again... this shit can't be real lol 2 fucking days in a row with ridiculous ass trades lol wtf is happening

And suddenly I don't want Silver investigating shit lol

[baseline bum]

we didn't have to give up castle OR vassell? WOW

Literally the best asset the Spurs gave up was the Minnesota 20131

[baseline bum]

Holy shit we sent the worst picks out? Keep Atl’s and Dal’s. Fucking A, this is awesome.

https://x.com/shamscharania/status/1886228220925943975?s=46&t=_hOkVHptcbAMOAEHj_SvkA

Underrated part was they told Sac sorry we're keeping the 2031 swap, now go fuck your mother some more.

[BacktoBasics]

Seems to me a penetrator like Fox might just help save Vassell’s career here if he’s not packaged up in another deal.

[baseline bum]

This is a huge WIN of a deal, holy shit

And we don't have to watch Zollins anymore!

Sorry Tre...you were a good soldier

EDIT: And we still keep that Dallas 2031 pick which is going to get spicy

Kept the DAL 2030 swap. And also the SAC 2031 swap.

[Cry Havoc]

I know it blows goats that the Lakers got Luka but they also have

1 2nd in 2025
1 1st in 2026
0 picks in 2027
1 1st in 2028
0 picks in 2029
1 1st in 2030

This is the best trade we've ever made. Completely stoked. Gave up none of our core and got a phenomenal player. I'm in utter shock.

Bulls got absolutely fucking stuffed, though. Gave up LaVine for a first and had to take a shit contract to boot.

[slick'81]

Excellent deal and spurs will improve by leaps and bounds

[baseline bum]

Holy fucking shit this is the rinsing of a lifetime... essentially got Fox for:


Zach Collins (not in rotation)
Sidy Cissoko (not in rotation)
Tre Jones (not needed with Fox Paul and Castle)
'25 Charlotte pick (not happening anyway)
'25 Chicago pick (not happening this year, and protected anyway)

Absolutely unfuckingreal rinsing. Kept our pick this year, BOTH atlanta's picks, AND the dallas pick, and the Minnesota swap. How the fuck did we pull this off

Kept the 2031 Sac swap too! Though the 2030 is a swap with DAL and MIN.

I’ll be honest - I’m not crazy high on Fox. I was initially not thrilled at the idea of trading for him if it meant giving up the farm…but landing him for this package is just unreal.

[Tyronn Lue]

So how long until someone like Mitch has to tell Devin "you ain't taking 20 bricks a game now"?

[vy65]

Maybe the best day in franchise history since we drafted Timmy

-get Fox
-ship out the karate kid
-keep 90% of our war chest
-friendship gang remains in tact

I hope CP stays for the play-in push. But, if he wants to go to a contender, hope we do right by him tbh.


The next move is for Wemby's back up.

I'd rather CP3 stay if he still wants to stay. De'Aaron is a scoring PG, so it would be good for him to learn as much as he can from CP3 about the finer details of the PG position. Might take De'Aaron's game up to another level.

[Degoat]

So one does have to assume the spurs probably need to be in the market whether by trade or buy out for a big?

[heyheymymy]

holy shit we didn't give up ANYTHING lol

[MannyIsGod]

Holy shit this is a pretty amazing deal.

[Davidicus]

We can all thank Zach Lavine for pulling his trade value out of the dumpster for this

[playbonner15]

Amazing. We really back now.

Not yet. Still need a defensive PF/C

[Mugen]

The fact that they've maintained their flexibility is really what sets this apart.

Keldon's contract can still be used as salary filler. They DO NOT have to re-sign Sochan to a big deal...Hell even Wesley/Branham are expiring next year and can be used in a trade.

[jehawk81]

So does this make us the best team in Texas or not yet?

[TimDunkem]

We fleeced 'em. LFG

[skin27]

Great deal!! The question now is can fox help us make the palyoffs?

[spursistan]

Massive props to B.Wright for getting this done while keeping all of the Hawks picks especially the 2025 one turning into a tasty asset with the recent Atlanta implosion. Basically sent out all of our depressed picks safe for the Minny one which is six years from now when nobody will care when the Spurs are coming off deep WCF/Finals runs..

[vy65]

6/22/23 would like a word

Fair

[slick'81]

Great deal!! The question now is can fox help us make the palyoffs?
Yes ,yes

[Chinook]

The question is if Paul is going to want to move on. Tre has some value, so it's very possible he needed to be in the deal. But if it was just salary and Paul wants to leave, it would've been a perfect opportunity to move on. If Pop were coaching, I'd feel pretty confident that Fox and Paul would start together. With Johnson, I don't know. As weird as it sounds, maybe Fox comes off the bench the first couple of games. But you'd think Paul would be the bench PG going forward if he's at all willing to do that. If he's not, the plan has to be to trade him, right? They can't waive him and give up a mid-sized expiring with two legit rotational holes remaining.

[BatManu20]

B-Wright extension incoming.

[Fizziksman]

Nice to benefit from Rich Paul fuckery :lol

[Maddog]

this is close to Maverick level fleecing

[spursistan]

Underrated part was they told Sac sorry we're keeping the 2031 swap, now go fuck your mother some more.
Absolutely shocked we kept that swap...The type of detail that gives us another good sign about Wright's negotiations skills. His track record in these types of trades has been stellar the past 3-4 years..

[jjspur]

I was always making fun of the kings because they missed the playoffs for like 15 straight years, stopped when they made the playoffs a few years back. I guess I can start again. I would suggest to the Sacramento front office Making NBA trades for Dummies on Amazon.
Brian Wright, You did good and earned your gold star ! Now lets see what we can do about a 3rd center.

[slick'81]

this is close to Maverick level fleecing


thank wembys agent

[SpursBills]

I'd keep an eye on Chicago in the next two drafts - if karma is real/NBA is scripted, facilitating such a lopsided trade means they're probably going to be in line for at least one of Flagg/Boozer/Dybantsa/Peterson, if not two

[Davidicus]

What’s the plan with Fox’s thumb? Fox has said he’s been taping it since training camp and would need a month off for it to fully heal. Do we just do that now so he’s fully ready to integrate?

[MannyIsGod]

I think the Chris Paul of it all now becomes the big question. I don't mind if they start him and Fox together, but I would love if Paul would be willing to play off the bench. But also, I wouldn't be mad if this opens up minutes for Wesley. I'm not sold that Wesley is a bust yet.

I really didn't want to trade the players people here were so eager to get rid of like Keldon and Devin because I think they are still valuable as rotation players (although its clear Devin is overpaid now) because the Spurs desprately need depth but they managed to get rid of Collins and keep most of the depth. Losing Tre kinda sucks, but also one less person who is hesitant to shoot in the rotation. We probably still need to move Devin, but maybe they can actually add players in return that will be helpful in the rotation. Maybe a big?

I read somewhere that he needs surgery.

Man,
thank you sidy! Hate to lose that kid- i get the feeling he is going to be a good nba player…
thanks Tre jones- also hate to see him leave…wish him much success

zollins….well at least he was a good teammate by all appearances and it sucks that he never regained his pre-injury potential…
good luck to him…

im still hoping the spurs trade vassell for another good rotation big tbh

[BacktoBasics]

The question is if Paul is going to want to move on. Tre has some value, so it's very possible he needed to be in the deal. But if it was just salary and Paul wants to leave, it would've been a perfect opportunity to move on. If Pop were coaching, I'd feel pretty confident that Fox and Paul would start together.

If he's not, the plan has to be to trade him, right? They can't waive him and give up a mid-sized expiring with two legit rotational holes remaining.

The two can start together. We’re really only talking about the first 8 minutes of the game. Then semi stagger from there. I don’t see any major issues.

[TheBallsbreakers]

So who's gonna be the first to apologize to that Garza dude?

[Ice009]

I read somewhere that he needs surgery.

Darn, I wanted to see him play. Hasn't he been playing for the Kings? I wonder if the Spurs will shut him down.

[Russ]

How will this affect the Spurs' style of play?

Wemby may do a bit more running and, maybe, take a tad fewer threes?

[baseline bum]

Not giving up

Castle
Vassell
Sochan
Johnson
SAS 2025 FRP
ATL 2025 FRP

What a fucking heist. It's a total bank job.

Don't forget the ATL 26 swap, ATL 27 FRP, SAC 31 swap, and DAL+MIN 30 swap with the only protection being MIN 30 having top 1 protection that BWright also managed to keep. Kept the BOS 28 swap (top 1 protected) too, which could be useful too when the Celtics have to gut the team to get out of the second apron.

[SpursBills]

If spurs currently keep everybody and don't make any further trades (including CP3), realistic lineup probably looks something like:

Fox/Vassell/Barnes/Sochan/Wemby
Paul/Castle/Keldon/Champagnie/Bassey(Mamu?)

Separates the two worst shooters in Sochan and Castle
Allows Castle to play with Paul as he's been much more effective playing next to another playmaker and gives second unit a versatile defender
Vassell transitions into hopefully a more natural third option/shooter role
Champagnie and maybe Mamu to space the floor for the second unit

[John B]

Just sent you thought the Lakers got a steal trade, the Spurs ante-up with a steal, keeping the young core players and not giving away great future picks. I think they get to FO with this roster.

[Russo21]

Hopefully the dude extends. I'm assuming he will as SA seemed to be his ideal destination, good stuff.

Big man depth and talent is ass while theres a log jam in the back court and wing position, CP3, Castle, Johnson, Vassell, Champagnie, Wesley, Branham etc, need another big man before the deadline or in the off-season. Don't have many if any decent bigs outside of Victor.

[Knoxxx]

Obviously we have to add a big with Collins going out.

[Chinook]

Don't forget the ATL 26 swap, ATL 27 FRP, SAC 31 swap, and DAL+MIN 30 swap with the only protection being MIN 30 having top 1 protection.

Them still having the Kings swap kind of boggles my mind. I wonder if the Spurs basically told the Kings to name any number of second-rounders in exchange for letting them keep it. They essentially gave them five, a few of which might be top-40.

[TekXX]

Fox can get surgery in the offseason, we need him finishing the season

[skin27]

Yes ,yes


Its still not 100% sure. We still need to see how fox gonna fit in playing with wemby and the team.

[Obstructed_View]

Darn, I wanted to see him play. Hasn't he been playing for the Kings? I wonder if the Spurs will shut him down.
He's playing through it. What I read was that he would need surgery eventually. If this fucking franchise is going to rest their 21 year old star on back to backs they aren't gonna make the playoffs and should shut Fox down while they tank. Again.

[hater]

Of course we keep Castle

I cant beleive some idiots actually entertained the thought of somehow losing Castle :lol

Surprised KJ is kept tho

He could be traded for something useful

[NASpurs]

It's crazy to think that the Kings once had Fox and Haliburton.

[Davidicus]

Darn, I wanted to see him play. Hasn't he been playing for the Kings? I wonder if the Spurs will shut him down.

He’s played 30-40min per game the last 5 games, wonder if they just address it in the offseason.

[baseline bum]

I read somewhere that he needs surgery.

Wrist on the non-shooting hand.

[Mugen]

I think the Chris Paul of it all now becomes the big question. I don't mind if they start him and Fox together, but I would love if Paul would be willing to play off the bench. But also, I wouldn't be mad if this opens up minutes for Wesley. I'm not sold that Wesley is a bust yet.

I really didn't want to trade the players people here were so eager to get rid of like Keldon and Devin because I think they are still valuable as rotation players (although its clear Devin is overpaid now) because the Spurs desprately need depth but they managed to get rid of Collins and keep most of the depth. Losing Tre kinda sucks, but also one less person who is hesitant to shoot in the rotation. We probably still need to move Devin, but maybe they can actually add players in return that will be helpful in the rotation. Maybe a big?

Wesley is definitely a bust. But if there was one guy who should be an absolute mentor to him and his play style, it's De'Aaron Fox :lol

[vy65]

Fox/CP3/Castle
CP3/Devin/Castle
Castle/Keldon
HB/Jeremy/Mamu
Wemby/Bassy/Mamu

Would want more shooting in the SL, but I think Fox/CP/HB/Wemby will get you enough. You can stagger CP/Fox for PG minutes with the bench, and close out games depending on match ups.

[Davidicus]

How will this affect the Spurs' style of play?

Wemby may do a bit more running and, maybe, take a tad fewer threes?

It will be better.

lol. More pick and rolls imo. Deaaron to the rim will create open space for Vic to get to the rim. Or they stick to Vic and Fox goes for 40.

[100%duncan]

What’s the plan with Fox’s thumb? Fox has said he’s been taping it since training camp and would need a month off for it to fully heal. Do we just do that now so he’s fully ready to integrate?

Im on the play-in then heal during the offseason boat

[heyheymymy]

Keeping both 2025 FRPs means SA got Fox, without giving up any key players, and STILL has tickets to the Flagg sweepstakes technically.

Question is do the Spurs go after wins now and devalue their own FRP in the process of a playoff try while knowing they still have ATL 2025 in the back pocket at possibly 8th worst odds so there is still what a 20ish % chance at top 4 for a Spurs team that could make the Play In?

Or do they bench Fox with the thumb and take two tickets into the Flagg contest after tanking? Imagine getting Fox and maybe even still adding J Valanciunas and or Cam Johnson too, making the Play In and maybe even a Playoff round, and then ATL 25 FRP hits top 4 and getting like Edgecombe or Harper or Jaku on top of all that! lol how much of that is possible?

[ducks]

I see another deal coming before 6 Feb. Too many players in a logjam. Vassell, Johnson, Fox, Castle, Paul and only limited minutes.

[vy65]

Fox/CP3/Castle
CP3/Devin/Castle
Castle/Keldon
HB/Jeremy/Mamu
Wemby/Bassy/Mamu

Would want more shooting in the SL, but I think Fox/CP/HB/Wemby will get you enough. You can stagger CP/Fox for PG minutes with the bench, and close out games depending on match ups.

Still don’t know what they do with Jules/Bran Ham/Blake. There’s definitely a big bottleneck at guard, so they need to get wing depth by Thursday. Don’t know what it would cost to get Cam, but they really need to make another move.

[Robz4000]

I would shut Fox down and tank for one final time tbh. Spurs are still a longshot to make the postseason even now, might as well have two shots at Flagg.

[ducks]

Anyway they can trade Vassell/Johnson to Utah for John Collins. Just asking.

I would be down for a

Fox/CP3
Castle/Champagne
IBarnes/Sochan
Collins/Sochan
Wemby/Bassey

Lineup

[Mugen]

We haven't had a star to pressure the rim since prime Porky/Manu. To add that to Wemby should do wonders.

Really hope it finally unlocks Vassell. But please for the love of god add some more shooting to this team.

[GoSpurs99]

I can’t wait to see this lineup:

Fox
Vassell
Castle
Sochan
Wemby

:downspin:

[Spurs Homer]

I had to actually look up - Jordan Mclauglin….

no one has said a word about him…but he is not a bad player if im looking at the same guy?

or package him with vassell for a nice big?

[Obstructed_View]

Now you just need a coach who can teach the two man game. The Spurs haven't run it in recent memory.

[Obstructed_View]

He's traded or cut.

[TheBallsbreakers]

Wesley is definitely a bust. But if there was one guy who should be an absolute mentor to him and his play style, it's De'Aaron Fox :lol
Fox and Wesley are probably two of the fastest guys in the league. Wesley's downhill speed often reminds me of Fox.

[Spurs Homer]

I can’t wait to see this SL:

Fox
Vassell
Castle
Keldon
Wemby

:downspin:

fuck that ^

Fox
Castle
Sochan
Barnes
Wemby

Great D

and wemby and fox can have the green light with barnes/castle/sochan doing dirty clean up work

then if vassell not traded…he can come off the bench with cp3, champ, keldon et al

[GoSpurs99]

Three Spurs’ players for All-Star weekend?

[Spurs Homer]

He's traded or cut.

is that official?

or are you saying he WILL be gone?

looking at his highlights…he looks better than wesley/branham already…way better

[baseline bum]

I'm thrilled to have an elite penetrator now for last shot situations. Wemby + Fox is going to be an unreal pick and roll for late game and end of quarters.

[Obstructed_View]

is that official?

or are you saying he WILL be gone?

Oh no. Not official in any way. I don't know what I'm talking about. Just my take.

[Spurs9]

Probably the best Spurs trade of all time

[spurraider21]

As nice as that sounds I don’t think it’s realistic. As another poster pointed out the injury is on his non shooting hand (hes a lefty). We take care of it in the offseason.

The (realistic) alternative I propose to you is we make a push for the play-in, the team learns how to play with Fox with CP3 coaching everyone through it, and we carry that momentum and “playoff” experience into next year.

Also curious to see if we make any other moves by Thursday.

[DAF86]

I can’t wait to see this lineup:

Fox
Vassell
Castle
Sochan

:downspin:

That lineup won't work. Not enough shooting.

[baseline bum]

Just waiting for your daughter to turn 17 tbh

[rascal]

I can't believe The Bulls and Sac allowed the Spurs to get Fox while not giving anyone out of their main player rotation and still allowed them to keep the 25 picks.

I'm pretty floored too. To get Fox when the best asset you send out is the Minnesota 20131 is unreal.

[itzsoweezee]

Fox
Paul
Vassell
Barnes
Wemby

I’m assuming CP3 is sticking around, but I guess we’ll see if he jumps ship if Spurs are looking like they’ll miss the play-in

[rascal]

That lineup won't work. Not enough shooting.

Need to keep Sochan on the bench and get a better 4/5.

[Chinook]

Have their been any reactions to the trade from Spurs players? It could give us a sense who thinks they've survived the purge and who is still worried they might get dealt.

[scott]

I'd still find a way to move Vassell and Keldon, tbh.

Avatar not changing for now.

[poopbox]

Got Fox and kept all the young guys for another trade.

Need to change his name to Brian Right :toast

Getting rid of Tre and Collins is just another chef kiss on top

[Mr. Body]

Not a great defender or in the pick and roll, coasts in games a lot, so a bit of a prima Donna.

He'll be overpaid in a few years, but we can figure that out later.

A bucket-getter, can be clutch. Puts a lot of pressure on the rim.

Gave up basically nothing for him.

Spurs got Harrison Barnes, a SAC swap, Fox, for a fake CHA first, a mediocre CHI protected first, our own SAS pick when we might be quite good, and the TOR pick we didn't really want to use.

I expect another trade before the deadline. The roster doesn't quite make sense yet.

[bdictjames]

So Blake is the 3rd point guard on the team now? Nice.

[KobesAchilles]

[Davidicus]

Apparently he recently sprained his right thumb (non shooting), but has been taping his left pinky and index fingers (shooting) since training camp. Hopefully the ASB gives him some respite.

[SpurPadre]

Idk. RJ for SJax was like heaven even though Jax soured on us after.

Nazr boosted a title run while SJax refused to admit he wasn’t as good as Manu or Green.

[timtonymanu]

I get what you mean. In retrospect, SJax didn’t pan out, but we got rid of RJ and then rang 2 years later.

4 FRP?
That's way too much for Fox...
I liked that we didn't have to give up any rotational piece other than Tre, but is still think we have overpaid.

[Leetonidas]

Not sure why everyone thinks we should keep starting CP3 at this point. He can backup Fox or a contender can pay for him. We got our PG, we dont need him anymore

[Mugen]

This should also keep Castle in the role that he's made for: 2 guard with playmaking upside.

He's not a lead PG but absolutely deadly in a Jrue type role. Hopefully Fox gets back to being at 36% from 3 and Castle gets there in a year or so.

Easily the second greatest trade in Spurs history after the G. Hill for Indiana's pick (Kawhi). If we win a couple of titles with Wemby , you would have to bump it to the top conserding that is essentially a knock-on effect of the trade..

[Killakobe81]

Without it being collusion?!
Lol

[heyheymymy]

More hidden value is getting off the CHI protected first. So sick of playing the roller coaster like the TOR 2024 FRP situation and biting nails with this ATL 2025 FRP status. No more tightrope there at least.

Dumping the CHAs that became seconds was also a nice eleventh hour value reap right at the expiration.

[100%duncan]

One of those is the Charlotte 1st that will be 2 second rounders. The other is a Chicago pick that was gonna be top 8 protected.

The '27 Spurs pick in theory should be late 20s.

The only one that hurts is the Minny '31 pick but it's 6 years away tbh :lol

[SouthernFried]

I thought Castle was our future point guard. I kinda think he thought the same.

Our 2 biggest weaknesses right now are, getting a big inside and Defense.

I don't see either of those being addressed here.

Fox is great, I get it. But as for helping the "team" get better in the areas we need the help the most....eh.

We shall see. Should be interesting.

[objective]

Great deal

But I have to say, I think the Kings did great also

They have a legit 25 pts per game scorer in the same age and contract range so they can just move Monk to point guard full time, and they got 5 seconds and 2 unprotected and guaranteed first round picks to go and improve their team. Now they can try for John Collins or Cam Johnson whereas before they couldn't get it done. This was legit as good a result as they could have hoped

The team that got ruined was the Bulls. They got their pick back, but could have guaranteed it this year anyway by moving LaVine for picks! And now they have to eat Collins for a year? Bulls got WRECKED

[DAF86]

Not sure why everyone thinks we should keep starting CP3 at this point. He can backup Fox or a contender can pay for him. We got our PG, we dont need him anymore

Because he would still be our 3rd best player after Wemby and Fox.

[Leetonidas]

Because he would still be our 3rd best player after Wemby and Fox.

Doesn't mean he can't lead the second unit. Would probably be better in that role since he slow as fuck now and can't get by any starting level players anymore

Agreed. They just wanted to move Lavine badly and didn't have any suitors. The Kings also didn't get worse.

[DAF86]

Doesn't mean he can't lead the second unit. Would probably be better in that role since he slow as fuck now and can't get by any starting level players anymore

Paul is probably the best floor spacer we have in the entire roster. I want that next to Fox and Wemby as much as possible.

If the only change we make is swap Fox for CP3 in the starting lineup, we aren't gonna improve as much as people think, tbh.

[Cabrito]

I would say getting Gervin via trade from Virginia for cash is the greatest trade ever for the franchise

[Larry O]

Lavine and DeRozan get to team up again as Chicago West. There will not be a drop in offense and as far as the defense, Levine doesn't move the needle much either. They good, TBH.

[slick'81]

Able to match up better with okc,dal and hou so mission accomplished. Still, sochan/kj/vassell should still be available to upgrade

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I used to love vassell but I wouldn't have been opposed to dumping that contract. maybe he will get better as a fourth option on offense or off the bench

[Trainwreck2100]

4 FRP?
That's way too much for Fox...
I liked that we didn't have to give up any rotational piece other than Tre, but is still think we have overpaid.

They gave up 3 frps the Charlotte one is lottery protected and becomes 2 second rounders next year. Also they gave up the minny pick which is fine cause whoever you'd use it on is in middle school. Lastly Spurs got the Mavs 2030 pick which after the trade last night is probably more valuable than the 2031

[SpursBills]

The hidden benefit of this is that because SA gave up so few assets for Fox, they may be more willing to let him walk if he, for example, extends on a 2+1 and wants to sign for 35% of the cap as a 10 year vet while not fitting in as well as expected. The fewer assets you give up, the less likely you are to fall prey to a sunk cost fallacy.

[Biggems]

We also gave up Sidy, I believe. All in all, quite a fleecing.

[spurraider21]

I used to love vassell but I wouldn't have been opposed to dumping that contract. maybe he will get better as a fourth option on offense or off the bench
he still has trade value tbh. ive soured on him as well but he's still more than just matching salary. im glad they didnt include him here because he can be used elsewhere if he doesnt show improvement before the end of the year

[mudyez]

Happy for KJ!!!

yeah true, hopefully he gets back on track

So much for relaxing and keeping my heart rate down.

Anyway, I don't have time to sift through the rubble, but suffice it to say, many of you owe Wright an apology.

[scott]

I remain ready and willing for Devin to make my avatar look foolish

[objective]

Kings probably won't be particularly worse, and if they make another move, probably better than before

So even with the trade Spurs can still miss the playoffs as Kings might still stay above them in the standings
