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

[Trueblood]

I like when the media thinks like us.

Also, can we put to death the narrative Klutch hates us.

I read today something interesting. They pointed out 4 Klutch players that have been linked to the Spurs since Wemby was drafted. They suggested that Paul is trying to get someone there so he has a road to sign Wemby. Makes sense really.

Id move Sochan in that trade too...in half a heartbeat...he won't fit with Fox and Castle

Sochan is a guy who needs to be surrounded by shooters. But what we’ve learned from the Spurs is when they have to choose between defense or shooting (perhaps offense in general) they always go defense. Murray, White, Sochan, Vassell, Castle, etc. I believe their basic mindset is that it’s easier to develop a shot than it is to develop good defensive habits. The problem with that mentality is then you have a roster full of guys who can play strong defense but are all working with half broken shots. This roster will need a couple of snipers to be truly rounded out. But those guys always come with defensive liabilities.

If this trade happens: main reason I'm hoping for multi-team trade, so that we can limit draft picks included and possibly get a change of scenery deal for Zach Collins.

A Multi team trade works better for the Spurs because they didn't want to give up what Sac wanted so they will get away giving up less with a multi team trade.

Victor potentially sitting out tonights game per injury report. Victor for fox. Great job brian wright

[stephen jackson]

no one wants collins lmao his contract is the worst in the league

If SAC chucked in a bunch of his favourite dish, pick swaps, I think Brian would be tempted.

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.

I have never seen a more perfect encapsulation of boomers in one post. This is art.

[Mugen]

If BWrong manages to get fleeced in this trade given how much leverage Fox has created for the Spurs....tbh

[DPG21920]

Well, the fact that everyone is available on a back to back probably does not bode well for a trade being imminent

wonder what happend with trae young.Rumors were strong that he wanted to play with wemby,Then next thing you
know he split from klutch.Wonder what wrong there.

[Dejounte]

DUKE JR BEING AVAILABLE IS ACTUALLY VERY INTERESTING…

[Degoat]

Nothing happens till at the earliest Wednesday. Kings have to wait it out, they don’t have a whole lot of leverage. I can still definitely see things falling thru tho

Typical boomer I'm a millennial and we played outside growing up. Most of us grew up in the 90s

[DPG21920]

That ATL 25 pick has to be looking mighty enticing to SAC right about now…

the main thing that separates us from boomers is the internet. growing up with a source of information that wasn't the tv was a huge difference

I really think the packages we've been discussing using the lesser of 25 picks os what we should stick with, however if they value the pick enough to take it + Devin + Keldon, id be all for moving it.

But what we’ve learned from the Spurs is when they have to choose between defense or shooting (perhaps offense in general) they always go defense.

Yeah but I mean, don't your examples sort of prove that drafting defense first and hoping that shot comes around actually works? So far the only guy out of those 5 who looks like he's going to be a terrible shooter is Sochan, and he's still only 21.

Dejounte turned into at least a league-average shooter and toward the end of his spurs tenure was one of the better 2 way guards in the league.
Derrick White is now an above average shooter and one of the best 2 way guards in the league.
Vassell hasn't been shooting well recently, but his problem is on the defensive end of the ball.

Castle's still a rookie, so it's way too early to say.

I'd say drafting defense first guys has worked better than you think, but we're all discouraged by just how bad Sochan's shot has looked. I'd rather have it this way then, say draft Jordan Hawkins, who's shooting poorly AND can't defend. Or Dalton Knecht, who's had decent shooting but can't really stay on the court because of his poor defense.

Can you imagine us trading that pick and the Kings landing the number 1 pick with it?

I would send top 1 protected if possible

Of course anyone would pick white boomer. You grew up with a functional economy, job security, didn't have to go into crazy educational debt for the right to work, and have been pandered to by American politicians for decades so have been largely insulated from the realities of American capitalism that keeps its foot on the throat of millennials and later generations. Plus you'll be dead by the time the really hits the fan with global warming.

This place will go SCOLA thread if this deal doesn’t happen.

Will go SCOLA anyways

No - I argued this and it’s a real decision even if statistically “odds” are not great of this. But it’s not just about odds and all picks in all drafts aren’t equal. This isnt giving up a shot at Risacher here…it’s a shot at Flagg. I would be absolutely sick if SA trades the pick and it ends up being Flagg even though we played the odds.

I'm hoping that right now it's just a matter of waiting until the B2Bs are over and haggling over protections.
