Fox Trade Idea


SUCCESS

Fanspo logo

Since Fox is now available and prefers San Antonio, what so you guys think about this trade. I wanted to try get my hawks involved because I am who I am, probably gonna make you guys hate it. But toughen up im doing it anyway.

KINGS: I think 3 firsts is probably the price. and these are quite valuable. At leats 2 of them are. The hawks pick this year is quite valuable, they are going to be a play in team it will be interesting to see where that pick falls, maybe you can get lucky with it, either way you can get some good value. the more valuable pick is the hawks 2027 pick, really unsure where the franchise may be by then, i'm sure your happy to buy into that pick. the final one is the worst of SAS and ATL picks in 2026 rerouted from the Spurs-Hawks trade, the swap has been traded but the kings get the Lower valued pick. The value of this pick depends on the success of San Antonio next year. They add 3 seconds which are rerouted from the Spurs-Hawks trade, just some pick versatility for smaller trades for the kings later down the line. Now onto the players, Vassell has a lot of potential, Ive talked about how I really like this archetype and it has really shone so far this season. Players like Herro, Powell have performed well and now you're giving him a very interesting opportunity with some great passers to lead a back court. Kobe Bufkin is an added piece from the Spurs-Hawks trade, meant to balance out the swap changing on that pick, as well as adding another guy with some potential to a kings roster who could use him if they move to a rebuild in the future. He is out all season, but you can take a flyer on him.

SPURS: You add De'arron Fox, really good fit with Wemby has enough playmaking so it works, but you have CP who you could lay with Fox, Castle would be an interesting partner. You have a point guard for the future is what i'm basically saying and you have the ability to compete now. Now they also add Larry Nance Jr. I think the spurs have really lacked at the power forward. Due to Wemby's versatility it allows you to make really strong double center partnerships which have worked in the NBA:

credit to TheRealFakist, although Nance isn't that great I think you can create this effect with him. I think it would be interesting, Nance has had a pretty good year shooting so you keep some spacing. just a really good fit with Wemby in the front court. Now you Lose Vassell, but if you are buying in on castle and Fox, he doesn't have a role and is going to lose vlue. Vassell being in this trade is why only 3 picks are going in that direction. I wouldn't be stressing over losing him. Very similar for Tre Jones but it has already happened. He was very impressive last year when wemby needed a point guard, but he's limited offensively and hasn't got the minutes needed to have any impact and has lost value. better sell on him now and get a useful role player in nance in return. Your sending all your hawks picks out, great picks but if you've learnt anything from history, refrain from trading your own picks and again your only trading 3 for Fox who is worth more.

HAWKS: A smaller role in this, but again have to buy and find players in a valuable role for them, Tre jones is a great playmaker and will be a very good backup point guard behind Trae. takes some relief off his duties and helps a struggling second rotation which finds trouble moving the ball. they need another offensive creator off the bench and Tre Jones fits it. you also get your pick freedom back for 2026. I don't think this changes too much though, they can't fully rebuild due to not having the 2027 pick but they can at least try get a valuable asset that year of if things go south they now have some safety. But really does this help them too much? probably not. They give up 3 seconds, losing some versatility but you hope to rebuild this value through other ways such as they G league production:

my own article, and I don't think they stress over this. Larry nance Jr, struggles to find a role when the team is healthy and is expiring, no guarantee of keeping him. Kobe Bufkin doesn't really fit your needs anymore, neither the timeline, though has potential I think you end the experiment.

Ok let me know what you think, do you think i'm too generous to the hawks, or is this perfect.
