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

[iowamcnabb]

We have him.

yes!!!!!

 

[Tetsujin]

Ham just made a take so bad that all the other guys on the stream were visibly angry at him lmfao

 

[captain bill]

The Vlade era is now 100% over. Fox was the last remaining player from pre-McNair

 

[Tetsujin]

Wait… Can we still do a Jonas deal with just Trey?

 

[See_Hanks]

You just explained the issue

Not happy either about it, but looking at the glass half full hopefully this will help out with our 3pt shooting in a major way. Get Monk more shots, and Keon can hit a couple a game. Devin Carter will get more minutes.. I really like his game. Fox and DeRozan were kinda the same type of player and they were stepping on each other.

LENSANITY PREVAILS

 

[Warhawk]

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

That's why we ignore him.

I hope this isn't the end and they swing some of the picks for front court length.

Debo to Utah for Collins and a 1st and a 2nd

 

[SacTownKid]

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.

LaVine does play minutes at SF. Carter and Keon now should be getting more minutes, not less. Carter as your backup PG, Keon as your backup SG. They can and should go smaller with LaVine and Deebo at F like they did in Chicago.

 

[Tetsujin]

Ham is so ****ing bad at his job haha

 

[Noble]

Trade DeRozan + picks to Dallas for Gafford/Washington. Sadly, I just think he will want out now that Fox is gone.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

You just explained the issue

I don't understand what you are saying, sorry. Are you complaining about DeRozan?

 

[Tetsujin]

Damien and Kyle about to reach through their cameras and throttle James Ham haha

 

[Capt. Factorial]

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

If that pick does not convey THIS YEAR - which it will almost certainly not - it converts to two seconds. Unless they sneak into the playoffs this year (LOL) it's two seconds.

 

[The_Jamal]

My first inkling is DDR is up for grabs. Didn't they have some sort of falling out in CHI?

 

[Obnoxious]

Kind of a holy grail and best case scenario for fox

 

[206Fan]

I’ve always been a huge Zach LaVine fan, but not a fan of that protected Charlotte 1st. If the Spurs didn’t give up Castle, I would think the Atl pick would be included.

It’s an alright trade. Can’t complain after the Luka trade…

 

[iowamcnabb]

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

2 firsts and 5 seconds restocks the cupboards. if our pick conveys this year we have 6 first rounders and 8 seconds to trade

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Ham is so ****ing bad at his job haha

Ham is getting COOKED by the panel.

 

[Jdbraver137]

I love it

 

[Larry89]

Derozan + Lyles on the move now?

 

[The_Jamal]

So looking at Tankathon. Do we get the NOP 2nd and their 2nd? If it doesn't convey this year?

 

[captain bill]

Adding LaVine probably helps a lot in terms of THIS SEASON vibes. If we shipped Fox out for nothing but picks you gotta imagine the locker room stays sour. Guys will respect LaVine and be excited to play with him. And that goes a long way towards stabilizing the future of the franchise

ah I thought it was over the next 2 years. Oh well

Spurs pick will depend on Wemby's health

 

[gunks]

There's always one...

I was going to make a "I'll wait until sactowndog weighs in on this" joke, but he beat me too the punch by weighing in on it in typical sactowndog fashion!

That being said, I'm certainly not wow'd by this

 

[twslam07]

I’m not a fan of the return we got.

The CHA 1st is a fake 1st that the FO can use in headlines to make themselves look good but it’s just that… a fake 1st that is really 2 2nds. I really hope at the very least the 2027 SAS and 2031 MIN 1sts are unprotected.

The roster is still unbalanced at this point, and I shudder to think about how bad our defense will be when we have Monk, LaVine, DeRozan, & Sabonis in the starting lineup. Lets see if Monte has anything else cooked up to balance the roster before Thursday’s deadline.

I could not have written this any better. I wanted more for Fox, but it wasn’t the best situation.

Sure. But I'm of the opinion that Keon should be starting. He just should. His impact is enormous. And unlike Fox, LaVine ain't running point, so there's no sending Monk back to the bench. Carter's not close to ready, so Monk is now your full-time starting PG. And yeah, LaVine can flex for some minutes at the 3, but Keon's not starting with those two guys. Monk/LaVine/DeRozan is a dangerously poor defensive trio.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

So looking at Tankathon. Do we get the NOP 2nd and their 2nd? If it doesn't convey this year?

No, it converts to CHA 2026 and CHA 2027 seconds. If they continue to suck, those are decent SRPs. But obviously not a first.
