Fox + Castle + Barnes + Sochan + Wemby is my preference
Super bench of CP + Dev + Keldon
unfortunately barnes and cp3 aren't likely to come off the bench, even if it would help both

Again, not enough shooting with that lineup.
Dont care about this season. Care about getting Fox + Castle time together
i kinda get the guys saying they want to see cp3 and castle play at the same time, to learn from him (disagree, but get). But fox? what is the point?
Huh? The point is Fox and Castle are actually a part of the future now. CP is not.
yeah... but they don't fit with each other...
Just woke up to this. All hail Brian Wright!!!!
Fox's plane lands in SA.
Pop...

You can do that and have Sochan come off the bench.
You were a key part of the core that made this happen. We'll pop the corks all over again now that you're up
Awesome trade by the Spurs. Congrats everyone who participated in the discussions in these threads, it’s been great fun.
Really love how they’ve kept 6 of their best 7 pick assets, made great use of the surplus of seconds and managed to trade away their only bad contract. A+ job, no matter how you slice it. Bonus points for including the ghost of Bryn Forbes into this.
The only slight negative for me is they’ll have pretty much no cap space in the summer to go after my man Naz Reid but they have plenty of flexibility to make it work if it becomes a possibility.
I expect more trades before the deadline.
yup
same lineup i prefer and posted…
it would be a great defensive unit and wemby and fox could have all they can eat offense-wise…
with barnes hitting timely open shots and sochan and castle and barnes wreaking havoc and picking up easy put backs and hustle buckets
makes the most sense…
then the bench would be balanced and with cp3 would not fall into bad stretches of bone-headed plays to give up leads…
Better to find out now with zero expectations of a le than later IMVHO
Castle won’t fit with a fast point guard who draws a lot of gravity?
Huh?
Oh man re-watching this ESPN Sacramento stream from earlier and seeing all the Kings fans in the chat get excited when they see CHA 2025 thinking they're getting a Capture the Flagg pick. Then finding out it's top 14 protected. Then finding out it's really two seconds. Ouch.
Dudes been on fire since June of 23
Ugh if it wasn't for the cedar pollen being super nasty today I'd be cracking an Arrogant Bas in celebration.
More I think about it the more I think Kings got the best deal. Spurs did good, but a disgruntled guy who turned down an extension and sent smoke signals in the media that he would only sign one place .... Kings got a guy who scores the same but is a great 3 point shooter and an okay rebounder & playmaker for a shooting guard.
And the Minnesota pick was blah when it was acquired but increased in value after the Towns trade and considering the Wolves current record and how hard it is for them to stay in the playoffs now. All the pressure was on the Kings FO and they nailed it, good for them
Wemby is gonna be unreal ... right now defenses just gravitate towards him immensely because the Spurs had no one who can create his own shot effectively. this is a whole other thing now that defenses have to actually make a decision when Fox attacks
the crazy thing is we didn't even give up ChampagnieThis is even better than all the scenarios we imagined. Kept Castle, Vassell, Sochan, CP3 and even Keldon and as I said Champagnie who would've been easy to include with his salary of 3 million. Kept all ATL picks and SA 25. Got rid of Zach Collins. We've basically replaced Tre Jones with De'aaron Fox in our rotation
This is crazy.
Rotation should be:
Fox/CP3
Castle/Champagnie
Vassell/Keldon
Barnes/Sochan
Wemby/Bassey
that means we got 48 minutes of great playmaking. We clearly need another small deal for a back up C, but I don't see us giving up CP3 or any other valuable rotation pieces. CP3s coaching is just too valuable.
Nah nailed it would have been them getting Castle, the 2030 pick with DAL/MIN swap, the 2026 pick with ATL swap, and getting their 2031 swap back in addition to Lavine. That 2027 Spurs pick isn't likely to be worth much and the only other first they got was the 2031 Minnesota that could be very interesting but wasn't one of the headliners of the team's war chest.
Don't forget how much better our 2030 looks twenty four hours later too with that unprotected Dallas swap. I cheered that trade last night thinking for sure that 2030 pick would help us get Fox and Wright didn't even need it, and we still have it.
