    No one thought we would get fox without adding castle so chill…. Let this man live! Probable? No Possible? Sure; bringing in a third or fourth team may be necessary.
    Most of us thought Castle wouldn't be part of the Fox deal.

    I'd be good with Bud, but didn't he any Giannis split because Giannis wanted him gone?
    Hmmm...you may know more than I on that...I don't know.

    I like Giannis but he is going to be 31, he cannot shoot a three, will renegotiate a max contract in two years at the same time we'll sign Wemby to a max contract plus Fox's max contract leaving no room for Castle the following year and by giving all our draft picks we won't be able to sign cheap contracts. The Spurs have their 3 star players: Wemby, Fox and Castle; they need to surround them with role players who can rebound and shoot the 3

    Can you imagine the squad though.

    Fox, Castle, Wemby, Giannis.

    Would need a SF. Man, if we could keep Sochan too we're set.

    Best Team in the League after the Spurs rebuild the bench.
    i feel like it would flop quite hard tbh. would be iso empire

    Like others have said, every idea doesn't need a new thread. We have a trade thread where 100s of possibilities have been discussed, we have threads about Pop where numerous coaching ideas have been discussed...heck theres old kawhi threads too

    It's a free country. I'm free to make threads. Your free to scroll past them or not click on them at all.

    Besides, this is a message board to generate discussion and I feel I've learned alot reading my fellow Spurs fans takes, so I don't see the issue.

    Okay, I've dropped the idea on Twitter to the Spurs, Giannis, Wemby, Manu, and even tagged the coyote. Lol.
    The seed has been planted.

    But to be safe, I'm working a Kevin Durant angle to see if he'd come to SA to get us over the top.

    I can walk and chew gum at the same time. I'm Sac Rocha. Nice to meet you. bigzak25 on Twitter if your interested.

    If not, all good.

    So...any thoughts on KD coming to town?

    I haven't seen any real evidence of that. They had one small argument of the sidelines that lasted for only a few seconds and Durant addressed it by essentially saying "they both care about doing things the right way and that there was no rift between them". There's no way to know if there's anything beyond that from what I've seen. Maybe others have seen something else. Ex seems to think there's more to it, but I haven't seen evidence of that.

    Not overly hot on the idea of having another star on the team. Wemby fox and castle is good on paper. I don’t mind having a Jokic on the team by getting fox or castle out but that will never happen. Other than that can’t think of any other superstar the spurs would be better off of.

    What the spurs need are good role players, 3D and rim runners. Connecting guys who know how to play. It’s tough to have a team with 3 near max guys, let alone 4. The way to do it is 1 super max, 1 max, 2 $22-$25M guys and a bunch of $10 to $15m guys.

    Of course. Also need a system to run that play.

    Wemby is that super max guy. Fox is our max guy. Castle should be one of those $22-$25 guys. Which is why Vassell should be out. He’s not in that range. I’d be happy if he’s on a $15m per contract being instant offence off the bench (or eventually be that), but not at $27M. KJ at $18M is a stretch. Sochan if we can get him for $12 to $15m could be workable. Mamu, Wesley can be one of those $5m guys. Barnes is another $15m per level player. At $18m it’s not ridiculous. M
    Hopefully we can find that fourth $22-$25m guy in the draft.

    Ironically I’m looking at the nuggets rather than the thunder as the blueprint. Problem is that they overpaid their $22-$25m guys (Gordon and MPJ) and their other max guy is not really a max guy, inconsistent and injury prone (Murray), which means they don’t have room to get those $10-$15m guys.

    So why are you here in this thread? Just to piss and moan?

    Bump your thread. I'll take a look.

    At some point, you don't need a roster full of max superstars. There is only one basketball. le teams are built with great role players more than with superstars, and Spurs le teams were made up of stars willing to be role players.

    Scorers are shiny objects for idiot teams. That's why you trade Vassell and Keldon now. Find or develop guys with good basketball IQ who want to win and surround Vic and Fox with them.

    Good points Sir. Can't have a roster of max Superstars. But maybe they'll come together as a team and be willing to accept less than max to keep the Championship parties going. I'd take less money for multiple Championships.

    You and I would. We lived in an era where Timmy, Manu and TP did. Wouldn't count on it.

    My hope is that the draft and/or trades will loosen the grip on some decent PF and C types and we might grab someone that way vs going hard after KD, Giannis, etc.
    If Utah gets Flagg, Markannen or Collins might be more expendable, for instance. If KD or Giannis go elsewhere there might be some decent players available.

    Giannis is probably actually being traded this offseason. Dame just tore his Achilles.

    Houston’s got the goods to make it happen. That would be a scary team if they manage to keep Thompson, JSJ and Eason, while bringing in a solid PG vet.
