De’Aaron Fox just made his debut with the San Antonio Spurs after a deadline trade with the Sacramento Kings and we already got to see not only what they will look like with him – but why he wanted to go there so badly in the first place.

Think it’s worth noting that there was never plans for the spurs to deal Paul that was kind of an assumption based on nothing. Paul said he’d rather be somewhere he can play than be on a contender where he hardly contributes.

Spurs won’t be serious till they bench cp3 and Barnes. This coach needs to enforce defense. They playing pickup ball
Honestly, this is the final straw for Vassell. If he can't be a reliable third option alongside Fox, I'm not sure what people are seeing as his potential
As long as they're playing good I don't see why cp3 and fox couldn't start together…what I wanted to see is sochan start and Barnes coming off the bench…
I feel like with fox we have a legit shot to get a play in spot
Not a bad idea to have CP3 and Barnes coming off the bench to play against the opponents backups. Spurs starters will be picking up the pace with Wemby-Fox-Castle and a DEEP bench so if your two oldest players don't have to log heavy minutes that's a good thing.
Agreed. The missing piece to get a 6th playoff seed is a real live NBA head coach. G-League coach Mitch Johnson is someone you put at the reins if you're tanking. That is no longer the case now. Hell, Asst Coach Brett Brown would have this team currently 5 games over .500 w/o Fox.
Spurs made a mistake not trading for a better b/u big man. Can G-League coach Mitch Johnson screw this up? Yes, he can. Almost blew another 20pt lead last night.
Hire Monty Williams for the rest of the year. Mitch can be the asst behind Brett Brown, who should have been named acting HC where the Spurs would be better than .500 instead of losing games they clearly had in hand.
CP3 could still do well off the bench. The Warriors sucked using CP3. The Wemby-Fox-Castle "Axis of Evil" is going to be must see TV. Vassell will be the odd man out. His trade value is higher than Sochan's and Keldon's so the Spurs can get that star SF and #2/#3 scorer they need to contend.
CP3 being traded was never an option. Just like trading Castle never was. CP3 will win his ring NEXT SEASON. The two Hawks trades they made today show they are tanking. Spurs have the Hawks #1 pick in the Cooper Flagg draft.
Watch, the media is gonna start claiming he's a top 10 PG now that he's out of Sacramento but he's been playing the same game before the trade. Smh
Wow man I’m a spurs fan say what u want idc
I want the Spurs starting 5 to be Fox, Vassell, Castle, Barnes and Wemby
Rule one with the Spurs is "get over yourself". Second rule is that Spurs fans don't care who starts, we care who finishes. I don't think, at this point, if CP3 cares; if he does, there are 29 other teams.
It's been interesting watching the evolution of the Spurs with Wemby. At first there was no real point and there was a lack of depth. After this last game, they are looking like if they can gel in the last half of the season, they could be a serious spoiler in the playoffs. The defense early on in that Atlanta game looked really nice, and the depth and options they are starting to have is going to be fun.
Utah Jazz da best
The plan was never to bring on CP3 just to trade him. How come everybody all of a sudden thinks they know about the SPURS? And how they Operate?
The Spurs hit a lick and got Fox for basically free.
Can’t wait for Wemby to be healthy and see how good they will be
He's been a 10-20 guard offensively in the nba since 2-3 years ago, its just the Spurs amd Wemby fit his playstyle even better.
Instead of Sabonis and DeRozan competing for shots in the midrange, now he got Wemby and Vasell. Fox also can relax (or gamble) mote on defense with Castle and Wemby too.
Fox, castle, vaselle, barnes/Sochan, wemby should be the starting lineup
I assume CP3 will start this season as long as he wants to. I've seen this with aging Parker, aging Gasol, aging LaMarcus. Spurs respect their legendary veteran even if it's at the cost of short term success. Consider this season a transition in the PG position. He might have lesser minutes, sure. But I doubt he go to the bench. Next season is the true start of the road to the championship.
Fun stuff. I think castle will start after a lil bit. Cp3 will not have an issue coming off the bench when he wins a chip with a 22 year old wemby!
What is Wemby doing on offense, he’s always on the top of the 3 point line. It doesn’t make any sense. He acts like he’s Curry or a guard.
you lost me 20 seconds in. no way Paul is getting delt. He is here to coach and lead the young guys. You DONT DEAL THAT AWAY
Defense is so horrible on most of the clips….
Using Wemby on the wing to run pick and roll with Jeremy sochan is NOT a championship winning formula
Once they give Fox and Wemby the supermax half of that depth is going to be gone 🤣
He really fits that Spurs jersey. It seems like they drafted him.
Tony parker 2.0
Cp3 better get on that bench
So did everyone
What players do you realistically believe they can bring that will make them contenders?
Someone like Deni avdija?
He sounds like TheFlightMike
Hire Tim Duncan to be the head coach in the off season 💯
Spurs aren't contending, keep the promise to Paul to start. Just matters who finishes
I hate that ever since the trade he been talked about like he all the sudden got good. He has been this way since like 3-4 years ago just never really talked about cause he was on the kings, miss him in sac but look forward for him as a player cause he has always deserved way more.
Goodbye my prince 🙁
Fox injured that finger during the Warriors and King series. Kevon Looney came down hard on his hand, and he’s been dealing with that for a while now. Having to carry the load for the kings, he hasn’t been able to test and rehab that finger. Maybe the spurs should let him have surgery and gear up for a strong start next season
f the kings i think im gonna become a spurs fan
the only thing Fox does that pisses me off is taking ill advised 3's when there is no shot blocker on the floor or doesnt shoot a good %….he needs to be 37% at a minimum to be elite. he can do it ive seen it. this year was bad
You start Foxx and Paul, but you pull Paul early so he can run the 2nd unit. You end games with the best lineup, which will probably be Paul and Foxx early in this trade, but Paul will eventually become a more 2nd unit guy.
