Fox trade to the Spurs!!!

[Seventyniner]

As we found out yesterday, it only works when the thread reaches 100 pages

Quick, start a "rumors say Trey Murphy wants to be a Spur" thread and we will pump it to 100 pages by tonight.

My one silver lining with Devin is that he's still only 24. Some guys just take a little longer to figure it out. Hopefully in the next year or two (if he's still on the team) he'll break out and start playing like he's capable cause if he can't do that while playing alongside talents like Wemby and Fox who are going to generate more open looks for him, then he doesn't need to be a Spur tbh.

Agree. During the Big 3 era, players didn’t have to do outside the box. They were specialist, and that’s why they’re good at what they did, Bruce, Malik, Tiago, Green.. Devin at times was forcing it creating errors. Having enough talent from Wemby, Fox, CP3, Barnes should allow Devin, like others to just do what they do best and slowly grow within the system. There may come a time when Devin possibly develop into a better version of himself hopefully, while some are just going to stay as role players, and it’s okay.

I just looked and saw #4 too.

Oh naw.

Fox will wear No. 2 for the Spurs and McLaughlin will wear No. 11.

Why would they allow McL to take a legend's number?

Pop called in from the nursing home: "That's not who we are. #2 is off limits"

No kidding!

You can take Nephews #. But don't your dare take prime Danny Green's tbh.

Devin asking "Who's gonna stop Wemby and Fox?" then taking a moment to reflect and come to the conclusion "It's me"

thanks for the laugh. that post was so horribly sequenced it's like unintended comedy. You can almost picture the pause and then just gotta knock them down lol

- As much as this was a no-brainer, until this team gets more shooting + another solid big, I'm not sure they'll be markedly better in the interim (especially with Fox not 100%).

- Since the Kings added needed shooting and LaVine is having the better season, expect the hot take artists rush to judgement proclaiming this a "win" for them/"loss for the Spurs, when in reality they've resigned themselves to being a treadmill team and the Spurs, with further tweaks, significantly improved their ceiling.

- If they ever actually do add shooting or occasionally play full lineups with it, the Fox-Wembanyama p-n-r will be unstoppable.

- The last time this team had credible lead guard play was Parker-Ginobili in '14. Think about that.

- Between Fox, Vassell and Castle, the days of expending significant assets on the back court are over. Wing-forward is now the primary need.

- If Paul is not interested in finishing the season in a diminished role for a non contender, Castle will run point in the non Fox minutes, with Bassey/Mamukelashvili filling the rotation spot.

- Castle's role/fit going forward is now the most interesting subplot surrounding this team.

- I wonder what fringe C will be brought in to fill the open roster spot.

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.

Well, I'm better than I was and same to you.

Damn, I guess we have to stay classy.

De'Aaron Fo' it is.
Maybe he'll get an offer from this guy:

True story, when we moved from San Antonio to MA, it somehow got to these guys that my kids loved his commercials and he sent me a full on swag bag of 444 . T-shirts, bandanas, masks (this was during covid), stickers, etc.

I'm assuming everyone's on the same boat that we'd rather keep CP3 (I even want him until next year) if he is ok with having a lesser role. If he wants out though, I 100% expectwe do right by him.

officially officially official

shows up on the league transaction wire

Highway ing robbery. Congrats.

[spurraider21]

so there's no area 51, but something with Star Fox has to work with the Alien

I don't see why the Spurs would retire the number, though, as there can't be much fan reception for them to do so. Would fans turn up? Would kawhi turn up ?

[mudyez]

So she died?

timvp can you confirm?

[BatManu20]

[Dex]

I'm kinda glad he didn't choose #2. Too much PTSD there, do your own thing Fox!

it still hurts

[PhantomDashCam]

Born to wear the Silver and Black. LFG!!!
