De'Aaron Fox Traded to Spurs for Zach Lavine, three first round picks

[Capt. Factorial]

Whoops, we don’t get Chicago’s pick. We get the 2027 Spurs pick.

Basically the MIN pick is the only potentially good pick, but we can't expect to get huge draft compensation when you're getting LaVine back

 

[Elektrik]

This is a good deal. If it was up to me we would trade Deebo and start Lavine and play a defense at the 2

You may get your wish as far as deebo being sent out

 

[Sherds]

that is a horrible trade. CHA is protected and turns to 2 seconds. Doesn’t do much to balance out the line-up

What were the Nets/Jazz looking for CJ/collins again?

 

[iowamcnabb]

Whoops, we don’t get Chicago’s pick. We get the 2027 Spurs pick.

is Sidy going somewhere?

 

[TaxMan]

I don’t hate it. Levine has been just as good as Fox this year.

 

[Larry89]

Charlotte is slated to pick #4 overall next draft.

 

[Tetsujin]

Hamster not a fan of the trade lol

 

[Sherds]

I'm hoping he stays... Unless he asks for it of course

 

[Joshyjosh31]

I don't even understand why Monty's job is in danger. Dude just went out and got Demar DeRozan. What seriously is the issue?

You just explained the issue

 

[Merdiesel]

A bunch of picks that will turn into absolutely nothing. Watch. These clowns can’t draft and will never win just so long as Vivek owns the team.

 

[See_Hanks]

And getting rid of negative value of Huerter

DiVincenzo was always a better fit than Huerter IMO.

 

[sactowndog]

There's always one...

you were the one saying Castle or no deal. Damn we didn’t even get Sochan.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

These guys are clowns. Ham is a complete idiot. Super negative on the trade. The guy just just completely clueless.

Lavine plays pretty well this season. Better than expected for sure.

 

[Tetsujin]

Ham is angry about getting Lavine instead of Castle but Lavine is pretty much what people want Castle to be.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Charlotte is slated to pick #4 overall next draft.

But it's top-14 protected and will convert to two seconds.

 

[LoungeLizard]

Ham is such a tool. Listening to him with DLo and KC is nauseating. He seems pissed he had to work on a Sunday.

That have done well lately.

 

[Tetsujin]

We have him.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Yes, well San Antonio didn't have LaVine on their roster, so...

 

[Jdbraver137]

I love lavine

Damien having to talk Ham off a ledge lol

 

[SacTownKid]

But it's top-14 protected and will convert to two seconds.

And what have 2nds got teams lately? Length.

 

[Larry89]

But it's top-14 protected and will convert to two seconds.

lol

 

[Kingster]

That CHA pick is going to revert to two seconds

Why?

 

[iowamcnabb]

But it's top-14 protected and will convert to two seconds.

let’s hope they decide to make a move next year, gotta start winning sometime

 

[Padrino]

Hm. I'm not a believer in Zach LaVine. Never have been. And unfortunately, it's a move that doesn't allow for Keon to shift into the starting unit, either. That means a Monk-LaVine backcourt, which is going to be fun, sure, but soooooo leaky defensively. In the near-term, the Kings will just have to go all-in on offense, I guess?

The picks are nice, though I wish the CHA pick wasn't so well-protected. The 2027 first from the Spurs doesn't figure to be much more than middling. Would have liked to get one of the better-positioned firsts they're holding onto. Overall, it's a solid haul for Fox. Not the value I was hoping for, though.

 

[Turgenev]

I'm not that excited by this.

 

[TheMobb]

Hamster not a fan of the trade lol

Not a word about LaVines strengths or the fact they got off Huerters money.

 

[Joshyjosh31]

The first round picks are a joke
Spurs first will be late 20’s
Charlotte will be seconds
Minnesota who knows if we’re alive in 2031
