I know Fox has become a running joke on this sub. But did you see the minutes when he’s off the court, how the young guards played? They made too many mistakes and couldn’t run the offense by themselves. They need fox for at least one more season to lead the offense. Then maybe trade him once the young guys can step up

While his contract is straight up awful, he’s the one ball handler that we can rely on, at least until harper and castle make progress on that end (OKC killed us with TO’s). So unless the Knicks FMVP gets worse, then I doubt the front office will do any move to offload his contract

I think they’re keeping him until 2028 and then offering one of the expansion teams a first to select Fox in the expansion draft. Fox is the kind of player expansion teams usually pick because he’ll score enough to get fans in the building and both teams will have clean payrolls so can afford to overpay for two years.

I mean….If the Spurs stopped launching 3s with double digits left on the shot clock in the second half, I think the series at least goes to 6, possibly 7.

I thought experience would catch up to the Spurs eventually, just surprised it took as long as the Finals to show up.

Jhah41 | Raptors

No im thinking of castle went through spurts where absolutely no one could stop him, put a body in front of him in any way without help, else it free up the weak side dump because the second had to rotate onto wemby. His driving ability leading to off ball creation has to be the focal point of any offence where wemby doesnt have the ball in his hands because of the weak side opening. Mitch just needs to yell at him to drive every time because it works, literally every time in that he dunks it, wemby gets a gimme or you get an open corner three. He also farms weakside boards offensively in the space wemby creates.

fatherpatrick | Spurs

4 | 2 hours ago

For sure. All the Fox hot takes are from people who just watched the finals when he was injured. Fox was a great teammate and carried the spurs when wemby was injured last season. Is he overpaid? Sure. But he’s still really good and helps the spurs when he’s on the court and his contract doesn’t really hurt us until next summer at earliest.

jtakuzzzz

2 | 2 hours ago

He is the perfect bridge for now to when the young guards are developed. He is likely on the team at least one more season minimum and unless he has a bad injury will always have decent trade value. Got him for basically nothing as well.

informantfuzzydunlop | Spurs

2 | an hour ago

The young guards need a vet presence. That don’t need Fox.

Any sane person suggesting the Spurs move on from Fox isn’t saying the spurs shouldn’t get a vet guard to replace him (through free agency or trades). They’re saying there are cheaper and better options if you just want a vet to help bring along Castle and Harper limit turnovers and be a calming presence late in games.

Fox got a max to be more than just a mentor to young guys and limit turnovers and so far he wasn’t good at the other stuff when it mattered - the playoffs.

jtakuzzzz

Yeah, I’m going to trust the Spurs over a random reddit user. Thanks big dog

informantfuzzydunlop | Spurs

lol what? Nothing I said contradicts anything the Spurs front office has said. I didn’t say they needed to trade him this offseason and that’s the only thing the Spurs have said they’re not doing. They’ve given no public indication of how they feel about his fit on the team and whether or not other guards could fill the role he’s meant to fill better and/or cheaper.

Moving on from Fox shouldn’t be the priority this year - getting a 4/PF is. And we know that’s what the FO is focusing on. Personally I’d look to move Fox this year but his value is low enough and you don’t need the cap space he’s taking up yet since Castle and Harper are still rookie deals.

All I’m saying is defending Fox by arguing he’s needed on the team to do things cheaper guards can do is silly. The Spurs haven’t said that though. Only internet randos and media talking heads.

nutsack133 | Spurs

3 | an hour ago

Yeah he’s been really good aside from the two series after the high ankle sprain, but moving him in 2028 has almost become a must now that Castle and Harper are both looking to be on max player trajectories. If they can’t get say $20 million of salary relief for him in trade in 2028 they’ll be staring at a huge luxury tax bill if Castle is on a max extension.

Did you see his minutes when he was on the floor? Kid is dogshit. Paying $50-60M for turnover suppression is ridiculous.

Last year, their net rating without him was better than it was with him.

Edit: I watched this clown all season, I dare somebody to try and correct me about him.

He stunk against actual good teams (T6 in either conference) and was ass in the playoffs even before his ankle injury so don’t use that shit as an excuse. Kings fans were right.

This is so overblown. In the playoffs, the Spurs actually maintained the exact same NetRtg whether Fox was on the court or not.

Furthermore, Fox lineups only kept up because he gets to play with Wemby more. Assuming Wemby is on the court, Wemby lineups with Fox posted a NetRtg of 10.8 whereas Wemby lineups without Fox posted a NetRtg of 16.

People also very much overlook the simple concept of the Spurs young guards developing, and likely developing significantly. Castle is a y2 guard who spent his first season at PG since he was in HS. Harper was literally a rookie out there. This is probably by far the worst they’ll be

And for all of the concerns with Castle’s handling in just two games vs OKC, an increased role for Harper already mitigates that and it was giving Harper the spotlight that really was key to winning game 1 in the first place as he attacked OKC on both ends of the floor.

silliputti0907 | NBA

2 | 2 hours ago

I wonder if it was Mitch’s idea for Fox to be the closer or Fox taking it upon himself. He was fine in the OKC series and first half of the Knicks series when he was bringing the ball up and initiating the offense. The last two games Fox just starting going into iso mode leading to turnovers or bricks. He started looking like a rookie in those last two games.

Also, while Fox is a “veteran” it was also his first actual playoff run. Being in the finals, with legit chances to win, being the guy expected to lead an entire team of young guys… I’d expect some nerves to pop up. Nerves clearly got ahold of the entire team.

They aslo aren’t in a cap crunch, no need for them to be making salary driven moves. If they start shipping players and picks for win-now guys, they are going to quickly fall behind OKC and others in the “cheap retool” department.

SpamAcc17 | Timberwolves

Not a single person is mentioning that if you do trade Fox, you have a season of giving Harper and Castle even more reps as point guards. Lets Champaigne and Vassell slide down to more natural positions. Its a year of developing the young guys in roles that make the roster size, aside from Wemby, more of an advantage. Fox for Kawhi would be great, issue is the clippers don’t need another small guard whose doubted in the playoffs.

Why would there be interest from the Spurs side? He trashed the organization and the medical team to the media, quit on the team to go hide out in New York with his uncle, and then told the world he was only going to LA to kill any chance of a decent return in trade. On top of that he has been a China doll since leaving and one of the worst contracts in the league 5 of the 7 seasons this decade. I know he was a monster last year but no way you can ever depend on getting another season like that out of him. And it would make it really difficult to sign Castle in 2028 unless the Clippers would take Fox for him. It’s so much downside for the Spurs.

Spurs have good culture and are young they probably don’t want a power obsessed star with decaying knees

I mean if they could move Fox and a +1 for him they could GREATLY use him as a late Game shot maker. They’re young enough to not need him all season and they would get DRASTICALLY better in the playoffs. Fox was a net negative, Barnes didn’t even play, can prob give up Kornet as well and call it a day and get another chip

It would’ve happened if they got off fox’s contract without the clippers asking for all the picks. Pop still has a soft spot for leonard. And that goes a long way.

Laughable stuff.

We gave his jersey away already and if all goes well, it’ll be Harper who has his name in the rafters.

Not this greedy snake of a player.

I wonder if Kawhi thinks all the stuff that Toronto fans were offering him to stay last time (penthouses, free food etc) is still on the table. Because it isn’t. Raps fans don’t love him like that anymore.

This is the team desperate for a better return. Should have traded him last year or year before for a haul to someone else, you will get shit from the raptors and like it!

This is why it would be silly for us to overextend ourselves for this guy. There is nobody else scratching and clawing to get their hands on him, and even the Clippers won’t extend him.

The Spurs got a young & impressionable championship roster including a superstar still 2-3 years away from entering his peak. I wouldn’t want a Kawhi anywhere near any of these guys!!!

[Koreen] While the San Antonio Spurs remain on the list of teams Kawhi would sign a contract extension with, there doesn’t seem to be much interest from the Spurs side. The Raptors remain the frontrunners to land him
