A God Builds a Castle With Barnes and a Vassell While An Alien Looks For His Ship - The Official 2024-2025 San Antonio Spurs Season Thread

[VBM]

I saw yall were one of the teams interested in the DeAron Fox sweepstakes. Just curious what a trade package for Yall would look like? I know Wemby is now available. Does that mean yall make a package centered around Castle? They won’t want Vassell based off their locked on podcast because he would be redundant with Monk and also more expensive.

I think Castle is viewed as untouchable at this juncture. He's got scoring potential (just needs to work on his 3 point shooting (mid-range game is solid enough). Any deal would likely be heavily centered around picks (which makes sense as I imagine if Fox goes, DeRozan wouldn't be far behind). For the Spurs to get him, I think they'd have to come up off their two picks in the '25 draft and a future one at minimum. I don't think they're willing to do that given the deep draft. If Vassell is redundant, I think you're looking at something like the following:

Tre Jones (expiring $9 mil contract)
Zach Collins ($17 mil contract that expires after next season, so decent trade chip for next season)
Jeremy Sochan (you gotta give talent to get talent. Then again, he might be Wemby's best friend on the team).
Spurs 25 pick
Hawks 25 pick
assorted 2nd round picks

Not saying I think they should do this deal, but I think it's what it would take to get him if Vassell is off the table.

Throw in Malaki and Blake they can go too and I'd get rid of Keldon to get Brandon Ingram but that's just me

That's an easy call for me, but my guess is Keldon ain't viewed as anything more than salary relief to teams. Then again, might be what NO is looking for if Zion and CJ are on the block as well.

Yeah Kings ain’t taking that shyt lol. Now I see why that King content maker was saying g he wouldn’t be interested ina deal with the spurs because they don’t have enough atttactive assets. You don’t really want Fox with that pitch.

Got nervous for a bit. Wemby had a really sloppy 3rd quarter. Final stats are insane though. Just gotta clean up the TOs (double team had him frazzled).

I still can't believe Vassell went for that dunk at the end of the game. wtf was he thinking?? That was stupid. Just run the clock out because they had no timeouts. But I get it, he's got to pad the stat line

I really do feel like the spurs legit believe they can be a playoff team this year. Y'all think they make any trades or stand pat and see how the season goes?

3 players closing out to a 7 "5" center at the 3 point line is CRAZY

 

[the kid]

Excited to see how we back up that great win last night. Another win tonight would be really big for the teams progression.

Jokic got his lick back

Absolutely trash 4th quarter
