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

[Dejounte]

You are wrong and angry. Worst type of human on the planet tbh…just move on and admit you were wrong. It’s not hard to do unless your ego is bigger than your basketball IQ (

Nah, I’ll remember to tag you when the Spurs trade away more than what you think they should give up because you’re caught up in your 2k trade scenarios. That will be a good day, tbh.

[CGD]

If this is some type of 4-d chess to screw the Lakers... WOW.

What does Denver's cap space look like?

Honestly the only guy I would have held powder dry for was Luka. That looks much less likely now obviously. I’ve been a proponent of getting Fox, and probably more so now.

I would think this makes Luka more likely to hit FA. Yes, he’s already in LA, but he no longer has the supermax incentive to re-sign with his current team. I don’t think this is something that the spurs should bank on, but it’s an interesting wrinkle

Sure. And what I wont do? Is lie to everyone and move goal posts lol. And you are stuck hoping and praying I will be wrong whereas I got immediate gratification on you

C'mon, he's in LA now. He's going to be there for the next 10 years.

I think it’s more likely (even if not considered likely) now than before. But odds are Luka probably signs an extension - but now Lakers are on the clock to improve team as LeBron is aging and wont be there. But Mavs not getting their other first or Reaves helped LA use those assets to improve if need be. Great job Nico.

[RedAzSa]

Most likely, yes. Perhaps the odds of him walking went from 1% -> 5%, which is why it’s not something you bank on. But the fact is that players don’t turn down the supermax, and that’s no longer part of the equation.

Not looking for whether it’s likely to
happen…. but if Luka hits Free Agency, is it possible to add him to Fox and Wemby? (cap implications)

[LeBowen]

Yes because Wemby's extension won't kick in before 2027.
We'd be in tax a year later, though.

If Castle continues to improve, Spurs would have Fox, Castle and Wemby. Why? I’m waiting for the like of Markkanen or JJJ instead.

[Mr. Body]

Luca won't leave LA. The Lakers are all ESPN talks about in terms of NBA basketball. Before, he was in obscurity, now he's royalty.

I don't think the Grizz are trading JJJ

[CGD]

I’m in this camp. If anything, he does that 2+1 crap LeBron used to do to continue to extend at bigger numbers. He’ll use us as leverage of course but that’s it.

[DPG21920]

Probably and can always do a sign and trade as well

But they got Max Christie!!! Haha

[CIAPop]

Why not?
Devin and Keldon to the Heat
Butler to the Kings
Fox and Huerter to the Spurs
....and somehow someone gets a Mav pick

[Mr. Body]

This might pause any trades for a couple days as the whole basketball world remains stunned.

[Frenchfred]

and rigged move, but beautiful timing for us. Especially given the reports of the Spurs & Kings engaging in serious talks over the week.

Any deal now is going to be overshadowed by this news, and the market is bound to be in a shocked state. Perfect time to take advantage and pull a good trade.

Also, @ not pulling the trigger for Fox on the hopes of a max-player outright signing in SA as a FA. It becomes more likely to be the case if Wemby + Castle becomes a playoff caliber team.... Players like to win and can take a discount to get there. Once you have pull, you can start picking.

exactly, FA superstars don't go to SA

Dare to dream hahaha

Perfect time for some ty franchises (kings) to trade away disgruntled players for very little without much backlash because "at least we're not the mavs"

Cuban promised to divorce his wife first before trading Luka. You’ll never know who’ll force themselves to the Spurs come the core of Fox, Castle and Wemby gets going and just needs a defensive big

We also need spacing.

Grizz would trade Ja years before they trade JJJ

They can't extend JJJ because of his declining contract. He will enter unrestricted FA.

He's getting the max.
