Our fans love love LOVE young guys and we have overvalued/halo effected home grown talent vs players acquired through FA or Trades

i think the playoffs have shown just how raw your young guys really are. Fox, for all of his shortcomings, has shown why he’s a vet PG in the league. he’s got a great command for the offense and is pretty composed despite his inexperience in the postseason overall. and it’s helping a lot that whenever the offense falls flat for the Spurs, he’s able to generate a decent look for himself a lot of the time.

eventually he won’t be needed for the Spurs, but the difference right now is really night and day when he is on and off the court.

I try to tune out any takes by the noisy sours when I can

Thats funny cause the team wasnt even good until de’aron came back from injury this year.

Same folks who wanted Vassell gone last year. They’re just hyper reactionary losersany fanbase has. Just seems like the have a few more.

They look at his box score numbers being lower but don’t acknowledge he took on a different role to help the team.

Yeah they have.

I young guards are awesome and have all star potential, but Fox is an all star and is a really good player. Some folks don’t understand how much Fox has bought into the team and how he has changed his game for the good of the team.

This series is showing them

I feel your pain.

Jesus. You people love to call out our education ranking and then type like this.

this post is literally just a box score

To them casuals, Fox is just ‘going through the motion’ and ‘coasting’ cause its so casual for him. But he’s just being conducively playing within the flow of the offense.

This is also a big reason why Kings fans never appreciated him and all blamed him when he needed to play within the system first 3 quarters so he has energy in the 4th quarter to drag their deadweight franchise over the finish line.

He averaged 27/5/6 on 47% FG when he got traded, I don’t know why they called for his head when the rest of their roster was straight up as s and now bottom of the barrel without him. I still remember the dude dropped 60 and they lost after Sabonis had 12 points and Keegan goes 4-16, but then fans start blaming him cause he was ‘chucking’. Lol. Insanity over that subreddit.

Fan voted btw

She in the hof already with all those years of play

Bad bot. Off topic.

Or maybe the bandwagon fans who started shouting GSG when Wemby was drafted? Or maybe dont generalize? Ive been a Spurs fan from Duncan Era and Ive been defending Fox in Spurs sub.

Fans get obsessed with younger players and become biased idiots, this happens in every fanbase

Castle and especially Harper have a lot of fans and Harper being good has made people dumb, you can be good and still need someone like Fox, he averages 1 turnover vs the Thunder

Fuck those guys, I love swipa

Dawg, I don’t think the fans realize how young the roster actually is, and having a veteran run PG is crucial. We were spoiled with CP3 the previous years, but his presence is absolutely necessary to run a decently smooth offensive machine. 

Dumb as shit, seems like knives are out for anyone with a bad stretch this whole season. All the casuals coming around because of wemby are insufferable.

Bruh there were people talking about how are the spurs gonna get off foxes contract with 100 upvotes and I was sitting there like they ain’t trying to get off his contract tf?

Classic sours behavior

I do think you guys should trade him still (if there is a good deal available). The problem is that yall don’t have a viable back up PG because fox and Harper have been able to split those duties all season.

I think a good PF would be a better use of the fox money, but you need to also acquire a solid backup PG if you do that.

I agree with the overall sentiment that he’s incredibly important to this team. People confused the fact that he’s not vital to the spurs long term success with the fact that he is vital to this post season run.

Yeah I really don’t understand their narratives.

People within one group can have different opinions.. Those opinions were wrong in this case lol

What can we get for him?

I don’t know why he would be untouchable.

E: Ah yes, downvotes without answers. You’ve done it again, Reddit, you magnificent bastards.

people seems to forgot there is a reason he is being paid with that money. Fox is a baller, he is a good vet for Castle and Harper.

He is fast af and takes decent care of the ball while getting the offense going. He’s not the best shooter but he has his moments and he’s elite at getting to the bucket.

I’m happy to have him off the kings and on a contender

Okc isn’t just the best defense in the league, it’s an historically great defense. Probably top ³⁄₅ defense ever. Insane to go against that as rookies and sophomore and perform 

Exactly what I think too. Let his contract ride out even if he’s a tad over paid the next couple seasons and then make a decision once he’s expiring.

And they can dissolve that contract into a bunch of role players as an expiring contract

Fox is helping the team quite a lot but “perfect” is too much.

Spurs young core progressed so fast that they are a real contender right now. 

If Spurs doesn’t win in the following 4 years with Fox it is going to looks like those 55M/66M would be better spent in another super star

you’re really forcing a comparison there lolol harden’s been mostly ass this postseason as per his tradition

People see Lebron and Jokic and think “Yeah, we can replicate that.”

We’ve seem this proven time and time again, Kidd, Chris Paul, Rondo, Haliburton

Everyone thinks they dont need a point guard until the playoff comes and the pressure is up

People today don’t know the difference between playmaking and running point. It’s about getting people into their spots and making everyone comfortable. Drawing help defense and kicking out is good and all, but most players don’t rhythm off of it.

That’s kinda how that type of injury is, he still can do everything, run jump etc. He finds out quick if he overdid it, you saw it game 3 when he landed a bit hard on a layup.

Its a discipline injury and right now Id say he is managing it about as good as possible.

Might be the injury or a rookie wall, but Harper seems to be running out of gas these last 2 games

He absorbed Randle’s tendencies from last round

Didn’t watch much of the regular season, how was this dude 6moty lol, all of Spurs fan seem to be down on him.

miss our swipa

Yep

Castle has always been prone to stupid turnovers, ever since he played his first game as a Spur. Let’s not act like the Thunder defense was the whole reason he turned it over so much. He had a game with more turnovers than assists against the Wolves too.

Playoff games against the defending champion known for its uber-aggressive defense aren’t regular nights

harper had two total turnovers in two games without fox

Yeah because hes a veteran.

Doesn’t make him a great playmaker to beat out a 21 and a 20 year old.
