he'll definitely be relied on a lot less to be the on-ball shotmaker. this will necessarily drive him to a tertiary offensive role. its really up to him to pick up the slack defensively
Yeah, I'm not suddenly expecting the Spurs to start lighting the World on fire just because of this move. Untill they add some real shooting (and some higher IQ players), they will still be hovering around .500.

The best part is ...finally the George Hill for Kawhi trade again delivers. It's De'aron Fox now. For the 20131 pick that was from the 2024 8th pick ..that was from the Raptors from the Poeltl trade..who came from the Raptors for Kawhi and who we got from trading George Hill. And we still have Keldon Johnson who could still be traded for some other useful player down the line.
If he can nicely transition into either a 3&D role as a starter or as offensive engine as a 6th man, it will be a major win. He'll still be a little overpaid for either role, but that's fine. If he can take to that 6th man role, it will also affect lessening our reliance on Keldon as a bench scorer (though he's been nice lately)
Cp3 ,fox&wemby pick and roll
Hope you're doing well bro
Yeah Wright's track record in multiple trades over the years speaks for itself. He really got more out of a fake borderline All-Star star than the Mavs did with a Top 3-4, MVP caliber player-- and that's without counting the knock-on effect of that trade in setting up the franchise for the next 10-15 years.
Chris Paul isn’t coming off the bench ever, he won’t allow it. Starting line up will look like
CP3
Fox
Vassell
Barnes or sochan
wemby
perimeter defense is dog and sochan can’t shoot and neither can Vassell but that’s what it’ll be imho
CP3 came off the bench last year
Lot truth to this
Forgot he played last year, I think he’d rather get traded to a contender than come off the bench for a play in level team
That’s why he signed with us
So who wears number 5?
Area 51 is too good of a nickname for Castle to give up his number. I wouldn't be surprised if someone already owns the trademark to that (if that's even possible).
Greatest news in the last five years
Or greatest news in the post Duncan era
So which Spurs scrub is not happy about Fox coming to the team?
We back baby with still some assets and picks to make some shake. Take a bow for Brian Wright wow.
What a great trade. Spurs gave up very little for a player of Fox's caliber.
GM of the Year
Seeing some of the trades some of yall were proposing I was legit terrified what a trade would look like but this trade is pretty damn solid.
another celebratory post feels in order
I can’t wait to see this lineup:
Fox
Vassell
Castle
Sochan
Wemby
And the bench is compe ive with Bassey
Barnes
Keldon
Champ and CP3
We are so back........
We haven't had a pg that could break down the D since like 2016 Parker.
Some random thoughts:
- Spurs gave up only 1 premium asset to get Fox: the 2031 Wolves pick. 2027 Spurs pick should past #20. Bulls pick might never convey with Bulls rebuilding and might turn into a 2028 2nd round pick.
- Spurs have traded away 4 second round picks in this trade: Bulls 2025, Hornets 2026, Hornets 2027 and Denver 2028. What a great use of all these extra second round picks.
- I'm really surprised Kings didn't get their swap back.
- Bulls getting their picks back is also kinda interesting because it removes for them the incentive to tank to keep their pick. They are weaker with Lavine gone but they won't tank and they might finish with a better record than Hawks.
- Fox should be extended in early August, that is to say 6 months after the trade. Spurs likely won't have cap space to do a raise and extend move like Jazz did with Markanen.
- While I'm skeptical about Fox and Castle ability to coexist, this is a too good deal to pass. This Spurs team really lack shooting, it will be a tough task for Spurs coaching staff to make it work.
- Fox has an hand injury. I wouldn't be surprised to see Spurs giving him some rest or even shutting him down for the end of the season.
- Good luck to Tre and Sidy. They never complained when they didn't play and I wish them the best.
- What about Chris Paul? Will he traded/bought out at this trade deadline or will he be fine coming from the bench?
- Spurs will have 1 or 2 open roster spots (if they waive McLaughlin) to try some new players this year.
- Spurs will have 3 picks in the 2025 draft: Hawks first, Spurs first and Spurs second. Main priority will be to get some good shooting forwards. Spurs also need a backup for Wembanyama.
