    lol. I was going to post the exact same thing, but I wasn't sure if I was remembering right (where she said she didn't want to come back - can't remember the exact reasons, though), but now that you guys said it too, then that confirms it. Was it De'Aaron or her family that lives in Houston? I think I remember De'Aaron mentioning Houston, but can't remember if he's from there or his wife. I'm guessing she didn't want the distractions of being around family, but I am glad D-Fox didn't listen to her unlike JKidd and his wife. I think this will work out great for De'Aaron and the Spurs IMO. I believe he made the right choice.

    I'm expecting a career season out of him next year.
    For some reason the entire NBA media space is way too low on Fox.
    From 2021 to 20224 he averaged 25/4/6 on 48/36/75 with 1.5 steals. High volume 3pts at 5.7 attempts.
    264 game sample.

    27.4/5.4/7.7 on 42/33/76 with 2.1 steals in his only playoff series against the Warriors.

    Clutch player of the year for a reason, he's a very good performer when it matters the most.
    Not a first option superstar, very few point guards are, but a lot of the criticism is unfair because he played for a garbage franchise with dysfunctional rosters.

    He's arguably the best point guard paint penetrator in the league and his running mate was Sabonis who has no range.
    Fox and Wemby are as complementary as it gets if we're talking PG/C duos.

    His 3pt is fine, it becomes an issue when the rest of the roster has poor spacing, but if he shot 37-40% on such high volume, he'd be a parennial MVP candidate.

    I think it's because he played for the Kings. I think with the Spurs, and especially with the Spurs rising up, he'll get a lot more praise if he's a big part of it. I just don't think people care about the Kings at all anymore. They've been bad for a long time and the days of C-Webb, Peja, Divac, Bobby Jackson and so on are so long ago, people still remember them as the Kings from before and after that period.

    Yeah, the discourse has been weird. I get that the new CBA is scary and the contract is big, but IDK what people were expecting an All-Star player to go for... Like this is exactly what you use the cap space for.

    I'm incredibly excited about his closing abilities, considering the embarrassing amount of games the Spurs have failed to close out during the last 4-5 seasons. Literally could be up for 3.5 quarters then the bed and go cold in the 4th. Having someone who specializes in clutch situations, a PG at that, is a sight for sore eyes.

    As for shooting, I'm guessing it'll depend on how the surgery went -- I didn't hear anything about the recovery, but I'm slightly concerned because people sometimes lose tendon mobility or extension range after corrective surgery, which could affect the shooting motion... So I'm cautiously waiting for training camp or some official word on his hand. Hope it's just a passing concern of mine.

    Damn, seriously? I hadn't heard that report.

    I guess Texas isn't really the best place for a woman to be this days, from the stuff I've been hearing?
