De'Aaron Fox Rumors Suggest a Possible Trade to The Spurs

[Leetonidas]

Vlade Divac bout to bend RC over. RC gonna have to grab his ankles and bite his bottom lip to get Fox.

Bye bye Devin!

[LkrFan]

Peep the date.

[LkrFan]

Bye bye Devin!

Debbie Downer: agent is trying to create leverage. Smoke and mirrors. But hopefully wrong.

Could definitely be posturing to get Fox his deal with Sacto. But there could also be real legs to this. They're also not going to just give him away so PATFO either offer Castle or Vassell + multiple FRP's or this ain't happening.

Haynes is saying Fox won't sign an extension.
No reason to wait for the summer and not get him now.
If Wright lowballs, someone else will get him at the deadline.

Before tank crew rolls in, difference between 9th and 12th best odds isn't worth it.

Theres plenty of reasons to wait. Same as TOR waiting for Kawhi got them a steal. If Fox wants to be here and has told SAC that theres no reason for SA to overpay. Fine with a couple picks and maybe even Vassel if SA regrets his money and wants to reroute it to Fox, but SA should not be going wild here with picks.

[Mal]

Klutch sport have already deal for 250 mil ready to sign when he lands in SA.

Vassell + garbage salary fillers + 2 frp of their choosing + tons of srp

[The Truth #6]

Presumably Wright is asking Harrison Barnes for a character reference et cetera

[baseline bum]

highway robbery. i dont see it happening.

why would sacto trade Fox for Collins/Sexton and 2 picks?

Why would Sacto draft Bagley over Doncic?

If they'll take Devin as the centerpiece then yes, please.

Keith Smith saying he would not assume that if we get Fox that it means CP3 is on the move, and that they could play together (duh, but just some third party confirmation).

Barnes cannot go back to the Kings, FYI.

Everyone saying Castle would have to go back... but how does that make sense for SAC? Castle/DeRozan/Sabonis doesn't work (just like DeRozan/Sochan/Sabonis wouldn't work). Vassell makes most sense as an on-the-court fit. Devin Carter is their PG of the future, Monk is best as a 6th man, Ellis gives them the rest of the guard depth they need.

[Sugus]

Let's ing go.

What an opportunity. An All-Star player trying to force his way to San Antonio?! It's ing beautiful to witness

Thank You Wemby

[RC_Drunkford]

Gotta make this a 3 or 4 team trade so the Kings get John Collins/Cam Johnson while we throw our garbage and a gang of picks at the Nets and Jazz. You know Ainge loves them picks.

It would clearly be a Vassell-based package, and I'm here for it..... How are you feeling about the news?! I know you're for it as well

I'll even throw in Branham and Wesley free if they like ty guards.

[DPG21920]

Vassell for Fox straight up works. Add SA25 + SA27 + CHI25 + tear up the SAC31 swap.

Then trade Tre + multiple SRPs for big Daddy. See if we can trade Keldon for any half decent PF.

Lineup this year:

CP3/Castle
Fox/Castle
Barnes/Champ
Sochan/Keldon
Wemby/Daddy

You run a 3-man guard rotation with CP3/Fox/Castle. Two of them on the court at all times, use Blake to pick up an extra 5-8 min/night if needed.

If you can't get off Keldon you find a way to make it work with him as the undersized backup 4. Adding Big Daddy Val helps in that regard so you still have size inside.

Next season:

Fox/CP3
Castle/tbd
Barnes/Champ
Sochan/tbd
Wemby/Daddy

You still have ATL25 to pickup a SG or PF. Get the other in FA. Maybe you make another move for Coby White to be your 6th man scorer.

Vassell + 2 firsts is reasonable along with the swap but I keep CHI pick out of it. If they take Collins + Keldon or something like that they can have CHI pick in there too IMO. Comes down to SA though: Does giving up Vassell in a win now move for Fox make sense or help win now? That money goes to Fox sure, but hes due 50M here soon so it will be an additional 20M to Fox as well.

If SA wants a reset on Vassell money then it makes sense for sure. Just have to see where SA is on that….I can see both arguments (giving him up or not)

[TDomination]

trading castle would piss me off.

he has great potential, really young, still a rookie. that would be a dumb move imo regardless if its for fox. you have enough picks and other players to get this deal done without movie castle. don't move castle. period.

[DPG21920]

It will cost Castle.

I will take that bet with you. Name your terms?

[Dverde]

I wouldn’t doubt Fox wants to play with Wemby, but whether the Spurs will give up assets needed is different story. I’m not 100% sold on Fox and I wish he had a better 3 point percentage. I do trust the Spurs to make that valuation at this point.

[DPG21920]

Exactly what I mean. Spurs need to make a move now before some other team does.

Nah. Spurs will be fine if they dont make this move IMO. They dont need to rush or overpay. If someone else wants to give up their future for Fox. Let them.

[TDomination]

between devin or castle...you trade devin in a heartbeat.

i hope they feel the same way.

we know what we have in devin...castle is still finding his place and he's been special already on many occasions.

[rankingtear]

I read that the Kings played better when Fox went out. I don’t watch SAC, is there any merit to this claim or just horse ?

monk and sabonis has a better 2 man game

[Mugen]

I like Fox but the already terrible spacing would take an even bigger hit.

[scott]

Feels good to even be considered

Though we have no actual confirmation, I'm taking the reports that there is "mutual interest" as intel that Brian Wright is actively working this, which invigorates me with hope in this FO.

[DPG21920]

Idea KOC threw out:

Spurs get Fox

Kings get John Collins, Collin Sexton, 2 FRPs

Jazz get Keldon, Zollins, Huerter, 2 FRPs and 2 SRPs

In this scenario we give up 4 firsts, but we only have to give up garbage

I don’t want anything more than 2-3 firsts max. 4 is too much, even if it’s Keldon/Collins going out. If it’s 4 firsts, we need to unload ALL salaries we dont want past this season including Branham + Blake as well at a minimum.
