Not giving up Stephon Castle in a De'Aaron Fox trade when you don't have to do so made all the sense in the world. Fox forced his way to San Antonio and the Spurs managed to hold onto their backcourt depth. But with Dylan Harper on the board at No. 2 in this draft, the calculus has changed, and Castle becomes easy trade fodder in a potential Kevin Durant trade. If I could keep one or the other, I'd draft Harper and ship out Castle in a Durant trade without blinking.
That said, I honestly have no idea what a Wemby/Durant/Fox trio could accomplish together. Wemby and Durant are both pretty malleable superstars, but I still find that to be a rather oddly-shaped Big Three. Fox is a solid distributor, but he's not a natural "glue" between those two guys, nor is he wired for the pick and roll like many other PGs in the NBA. More to the point, the Spurs aren't usually the kind of impatient franchise that shortcuts their developmental process, so I'm curious how invested they even are in the idea of bringing Durant to San Antonio. Pop won't be there on the sideline to massage the angles and manage the egos, either. I'll be curious to see how this all unfolds.

Why would the Spurs give up anything when Durant is just going to sign there as a free agent? 
Yeah, all these Kings twitter accounts owe some apologies for "cooking" Monte when they had no ability to understand context.

Rockets will say no. Can't mortgage the future for a season rental.

Sarcasm! They’re shopping KD like he’s 30
Guessing Rockets would maybe offer Jabari and Reed.
Spurs should offer Fox, Sochan, and the Kings swap in 2031.
Probably a few pieces of draft capital since the Suns are picked pretty bare.
Don't really know what the Suns should expect to get back. Dude is up there, on a short term contract, a constant malcontent in his latter career.
