Amick: De’Aaron Fox requests trade

I mean, in the end this might be kinda what the deal looks like. The ATL picks are pretty valuable, and probably a lot more valuable than any Spurs picks in the next five years. The CHI pick is already protected 1-10 with protections going forward 2 more years, so that's not an additional protection being put on it. So that's three picks and Castle.
Obviously, I'd like a lot more. I want Sochan. I want MIN 31. I want our swap back. I want CHA 25 (which is probably going to revert to 2 SRPs, but still, we need SRPs since Monte deals them like they're hot potatoes). I want additional swap options.
I don't think we can get *all* of that. We may be able to get *some* of that. But as long as we get Castle and the ATL picks, we're not all too likely to find a better deal elsewhere, not with the league believing Fox wants to jump to SA eventually anyway. So that's a decent guess at close to what it looks like if a SA trade goes down.

One thing about the ATL 25 and 27 and another 25 would be that these are theoretically worth more than a pick years and years away. Either to trade or so we can build on what we have with a pick better than we'd otherwise get.
To me I settle for 3 picks if we can have Sochan and Castle. No Castle the ask goes to 5+. No Sochan but Castle, then we need one more so we can do a Cam and Sharpe deal with Nets.

We knew that. Vivek hired Malone and was a fan before he hired the little gerbil who never liked him. That's a big part of what has hamstrung this organization until Monte was finally allowed a seat at the table when Mike was hired. GMs not getting their first choice of coach. And then GMs hiring worse coaches lol.
the idea of Monte leaking makes no sense to me. He basically says nothing in interviews, even in long form. Maybe it’s Wes, I couldn’t even tell you what he looks like and I’ve never heard him speak. Or maybe it’s some gossiping part owner that likes telling people insider info. Or maybe half of it is not true? Or most of it?
