Yes. This is why you don’t trade Castle. He can play the 2, and then the 1 when Fox loses a step and becomes a CP3 shooter / facilitator (ish). They’re each other’s insurance policies now and later.
He said what I came here to say.
This is Wemby open under the rim for a dunk. You have a willing player and all the assets in the world to get it done easily. He would have to actively try in order to this up.

Their client is getting paid the max either way. That along with the long standing rumors that Klutch wants to pair their clients with Wemby adds much fire to the smoke we're seeing.
Getting my favorite pg in the league on my favorite team would be a dream
this guy is a treat to watch tbh for true basketball enthusiasts
Honest question: Does cost have no bearing to you here? Would it be a f*ck up if SAC said (hypothetically)we want: Vassell + Castle + ATL 25 + SA 25 + ATL 27 + SA 27 + Kings Swap back and FO said no? And Kings wouldn’t budge?
Didn’t realize him and Bam were teammates in college. Get Fox, secure Bam. Big three. Bam fits with Wemby perfectly.
it is the stated mission of every agency to get their clients paid well, and in a situation that their client prefers and is most likely to succeed in. you always assign some extra layer of evil to klutch as opposed to other agencies
If they want Castle they're getting Castle, salary filler, and maybe their swap back and that's it.
Top 4 pick who defends and can get to the rim? 15 points and 4 assists a game as a starter as a rookie? THAT'S BETTER than Fox did a rookie in starts.
If anything it should be approached the same way Sacramento approached getting Sabonis. One really good established player for one promising young player, straight up with salary filler and 2nd round picks

Fox’s wife must be pushing hard for this since she’s from SA. Destiny doing its thing. Come on home, Fox’s
Oh come on bro, that isn't an honest question
Of course you make the right deal, but that is supposed to come with being a competent NBA executive. For any executive worth their salt, this is a layup.
You know you're not wrong... but I don't think it's quite a perfect analogy.
At the time of that trade, Sabonis was a 25-year old, 2-time All Star (no All NBA honors), averaging 19/12/5.
Right now, Fox is a 1-time All Star, 1-time All NBA, 27 years old, averaging 25/5/6.
I definitely think it's fair to put Sabonis and Fox in a roughly similar tier.
Where the analogy breaks down a little bit is that Hali was in his second year, coming off a 13/3/5 rookie campaign where he shot 40% from 3 and finished 3rd in ROY voting behind LaMelo and Ant. Hali only started 20 of 58 games that year. He was putting up 14/4/7 when the trade went down.
Castle is averaging 12/3/4 on 26% 3P%, starting 25 of 41 games. So Castle hasn't quite shown quite the promise Hali did his rookie year, and Hali had a full additional 67 games under his belt to show out before that trade happened.
So, I like where your head is at, but I don't think Castle has the same value Hali did when that trade happened.
With that said, I think this makes a very good case for why the Spurs should do their best to keep Castle in an attempt to acquire Fox.
She's from San Anto, so Mrs. Fox's best friend is probably named Destiny. Been sending Mrs. Fox pictures of Carne Guisada and raspas every day for the last 8 years with the caption "they got this in Sacto? jajajaja"
Hey - Im seeing a lot of “cost doesnt matter, get it done” stuffOh come on bro, that isn't an honest question
Of course you make the right deal, but that is supposed to come with being a competent NBA executive. For any executive worth their salt, this is a layup.Just need to know the baseline of expectations Im working with here lol
Castle is the logical centerpiece for both teams.
Potential lead guard replacement + good with fit with Monk (can look to trade DeRozan).
He wouldn't have the space to play a role commensurate with draft status with Fox around and the two together would be untenable spacing wise.
They can target a POA guard-wing defender in the draft or if they have cap space exceeding the MLE, pursue Alexander-Walker.
Fox
Alexander-Walker
Sochan
Naz
Wemby
Coach- Quinn Snyder
Losing Castle would really hurt. I think he and Fox are a great backcourt.
Off the top of my head, Vassell fits better with Monk, DeRozan and Ellis. Castle seems like a bad fit with DeRozan especially.
On the other hand, Vassell has been playing more team-friendly ball of late. He hasn't been pissing me off as much lately. Hoping that the Kings are seeing the same thing.
bro wut
They don’t care about any of that tbh. Castle is the more valuable commodity and projects as a better player down the line. DeMar doesn’t affect any trades, he’s almost 36 and not a part of their long-term plans. They’ll likely demand Castle plus 3 or 4 FRP’s + salary filler at minimum imo.
