Fox and Castle

The more I think about it, it's just 2 guard dogs that just get after it on both sides they are essentially a bad matchup for any guard duo.

Castle being much bigger and stronger than most guards and just a defensive pest, he'll start getting calls while being more efficient he just has to keep attacking, but at his peak no one is stopping that man from getting in the paint at will, he's so crafty and slithery while being that size. He can really be something special, he already knows what it takes to win he just has to adjust to the nba (which i don't get why people were so quick to rid him- he might be one of those draft picks that kind of changed tides for a franchise) he has everything you want in a guard next to fox vice versa.

Fox countering that and just blowing by most defenses, he has the reliable mid range to beat poor defenders and is a really good pnr playmaker. The 3 level scoring is real, he's not that much of a knockdown shooter but when it comes down to it he hits the biggest shots when you need him to, and again there's no one stopping him from getting to that rim.

Having 2 guys like this just make wemby's life so much easier it might take a while to gel because fox is so dominant and they aren't the best shooters, but just thinking about it if vassell isn't the fit, the pick you would use in this draft can slide up in place, that freakish wing which i think is our next step, but yeah just the duo itself can be really fun to watch.

What happens to CP3 now?

As per title, now that Fox is a Spur what happens to CP3?

Does he:

  1. Stay with the team and start along side Fox? (hopefully, although we need Castle's point-of-attack defense)
  2. Accept the backup PG role now that Tre is gone?
  3. Look for a buyout or trade to a contender for one last run?

We lost three but gained two, who fills in the xtra spot?

We lost 3 bench players, gained a starter and more than likely someone that will be cut asap, you know, because they score 1 pt a game.

Barring another trade, who fills in the 2 spots? harrison Ingram? duke? Minix is out. or do we sign bamba once released by Utah?

So what center are we targeting next?

I mean, after the Doncic trade, could we just, you know, trade a second rounder for Day'ron Sharpe from the Nets or Guerschon Yabesele of the 76ers? These are tanking teams now no?

Edit: Or we go trade one first rounder for Embiid? 😂

A fantastic time to be a Spurs fan

  • Lucked into the next generational talent, the most promising prospect since LeBron James and the player most likely to take the mantle as face of the league from Steph & LeBron
  • Have a war chest of assets to build with that is at or near the top of the league
  • Added a top 20 player in the NBA as a sidekick to that generational talent, while keeping the war chest in tact
  • Have a promising rookie that is better than expected
  • Still have a ton of players that can be flipped into positions of need (backup center…more shooting…etc.) if desired

I know that last point may not go over well with everyone, but the real point is that it looks like this organization, as expected, will properly build around Wemby and set him up to lead the team to the promised land multiple times. This is fun

Yall got room for one more?

What’s good spurs nation? I’m sure I don’t need to explain the situation. I’m a Dallas mavericks refuge.

I’m obviously very aware of the Spurs, their history (our history?) and the current roster. But I just wanted to get a feel for the fanbase. Yalls favorite players on rosters, what yall wanna do at the deadline (getting Fox for essentially nothing is fucking huge) and expectations for the team this season and going forward.

I look forward rooting for the Spurs and getting everyone’s perspective

Starfox requesting permission to land at Area 51

Any idea why Shams has indicated that Fox is wearing 8? Unlikely that Castle gives up 5, but I’ve not seen any substantiation for 8.

Great day for the Spurs

Not only did the Mavs probably get worse with the Luka trade but we just brought in the best costar that wemby has had. Amazing 2 day stretch for us.

How does the CP3 Fox situation play out?

CP3 has been vocal that he came here to start, and that he accepted but didn't like coming off the bench in GSW.

Now with Fox, how are we going to navigate this? There are four options as I see it:

  • Start them both together then stagger off.
  1. Start Fox, bring CP3 off the bench.
  2. Start CP3, bring Fox off the bench.
  3. Trade CP3 to his destination of choice.

I think only scenarios 1 and 4 make any sense. I could see us trading him to maybe OKC for a couple seconds?

I'd obviously prefer he stay, he's central to the culture change this last year.

Why do we rather playing 5-small lineup than putting Bassey into rotation?

The recent slump we have seen our 2nd lineup being out rebounded and have no one to stop opponent's big in the paint. What is the constraint forcing us to do so? I've heard that Bassey couldn't mesh offensively but is it that broken that makes him unplayable?

From a Kings Fan

Please win a championship. Fox was absolutely loved in Sacramento, and our front office failed him, and made him out to look like the bad guy in this whole situation all the way back to the Mike Brown firing. Couldn't be happier to see him go from a dumpster fire organization, to arguably the most stable organization in the NBA.

Good luck Spurs, will be rooting for you guys except against the Kings.

Does De’aaron Fox put us in the playoffs?

I’m not sure. We are still drastically missing a serviceable backup center. Maybe the play in but I don’t know. Stoked for these next few games to see how this team gels together with Fox.

Still not done trading

With Zach gone we have very little front court depth. We need to find another trade to net us a big.

My hope is we get Chris Boucher from Toronto. Last year of his contract, but a good piece off the bench. It probably needs to be part of a multiple team trade, but it shouldn't be that difficult.

Talk to me about Siddy Cisko

Kings fan here. I remember Siddy from the draft as being a huge project that could be an elite defensive player. How has his G League run been this year?
