    Another tidbit... Jason Timpf basically says that if you said Spurs could get a Shai or another top 5 guy, then it's worth passing up on a guy like Fox, but the drop off between the 10-12th best player in the NBA is substantially smaller than the drop off between the Top 5 guys and the 10-12th best player. Basically how much better of a player can the Spurs reasonably get by waiting for someone else. I think this is also a good point... some folks like to say that "Fox isn't even that good... Luka is a FA in 2026", but Luka isn't going to actually be a FA. Passing up Fox to wait for Luka is like passing up a job that pays you $500k/yr because you're holding out for Apple to call you and offer you the CEO position.
    Anyone waiting for Luka in 2026 is a dumbass and is kidding themselves. It's not happening. Fox is our best bet and I'm confident he's going to be a Spur tbh. Just a matter of what we're losing in the process.

    I think you’re talking about DPG

    it’s devoid of logical reasoning with these guys. Zero realistic solutions provided. Their stance relies on hope and hope alone. You ask them for examples and it’s crickets. Or worse yet, they flame you.

    these guys remind me of blind trumpers. Musk infiltrating our government data. Crickets. Tariffs increasing our daily spend… crickets.

    Spurs probably end up with Fox and Valencunios. That's my opinion

    Castle is Derrick White ish
    Yep, that's exactly the comp I used earlier in the thread. Glad others see it the same way, at least as confirmation I'm not crazy

    And Dusty Garza ran with it

    Like I said earlier, I know that other Spurs reporters (new media) that have purposely "leaked" fake info to see if Garza would run with it, and he has every single time

    I really hope this deal happens SOON tbh. I feel like this team can really push for a play-in with Fox. Hopefully they dont the bed against the Heat at home.


    Wemby and Castle need those big game reps.

    On another note, I asked Kings reddit if any of them knew Alvin Gentry's role and if he would be in the inner circle on a trade, and pretty much universally the response has been "we don't even know what Alvin Gentry does"

    Deal not gonna happen if we can't even reach a 100 pages. Cuz it clearly shows that we don't really want that bad enough.

    Still better than random sources IMO. Alvin Gentry is still in the inner circles of the NBA/Kings for what it’s worth

    Derrick types just fit next to everyone which is great. Would be thrilled if Castle is a more talented Derrick or even equal to

    If this did end up being something like a 4 team deal, I actually have more faith in Brian Wright executing this compared to someone like Ainge. Wright seems like the kind of GM who tries to keep up good relationships with other GMs around the league, so it's more likely that other GMs are willing to work with him to try and work out a complex deal compared to if he's a guy who just tries to fleece people non-stop.

    Can Wright get this done without the Spurs getting screwed is really the only question.

    If he somehow botches it, or it doesn't happen and Fox lands somewhere else which isn't out of the question obviously, will the sniffers finally realize he's not good? Really, his continued job security should rest on getting this done, in my opinion.

    If this deal happens it's happening Thursday. Kings have no reason to rush this.

    Agreed. IMO he’s light years ahead of White in his rookie season. The real only weakness in his game is his efficiency. I believe he has the potential to be a fringe all-star for many years.

    They want to remain “compe ive.” Keeping good morale and having more time with the new guys asap, especially when they’re in the play-in picture is also important.

    For real... trade these guys before you force them to pack for a long road trip and then just reroute them to some other city they aren't prepared for. I'm usually not a "let's be the nice guys" type when it comes to trades, but that would just be the decent thing to do

    Can Wright get this done without the Spurs getting screwed is really the only question.

    tbh, I think this is a turning point for Wright's job going forward. If he ends up going to another team for a deal we could have comfortably beat, questions should be asked. Super Sniffers will just say that Wemby's not ready to have good teammates. Apparently he needs to win MVP, or ever be inducted into the HOF before any of them think its time to add a Robin to our Batman

    If this did end up being something like a 4 team deal, I actually have more faith in Brian Wright executing this compared to someone like Ainge. Wright seems like the kind of GM who tries to keep up good relationships with other GMs around the league, so it's more likely that other GMs are willing to work with him to try and work out a complex deal compared to if he's a guy who just tries to fleece people non-stop.
    This is an area I give PATFO some credit. They get heat for being nice guys and doing right by players, but it's important to do for a franchise like San Antonio (and likewise Sacramento, hopefully they are taking notes). We can't afford to be ruthless, because we don't have the market attractiveness to overcome that. Wemby helps, but San Antonio is still a small market team. I firmly believe the way we did Klutch client DJM a solid by sending him to a place he wanted to be (and pair up with another Klutch client in Trae Young) is remembered in high regard by Rich Paul.

    Likewise, the Spurs being there to frequently help other teams facilitate their deals certainly helps as well. It's no coincidence that we have a handful of frequent fliers when it comes to trade partners (SAC, MIN, TOR)

    While I agree it probably gets done on Thursday if at all, both teams have an incentive to get it done now and move on/put the distraction behind them

    They don't want him. They are going to want picks and you are going to have to give them some. I know you have it drilled in your Boomer head that the draft is the only way to build a contender, but at some point you have to bring in talent that already exists.
    I'd rather be a Boomer than a Millenial.

    Grew up with the best music and best TV shows 1960s and we played all day outside. We didn't sit around inside playing video games. We were always playing sports outside.
