Fox is a decent player but there is no way he is worth this much.

Fox is a decent player but there is no way he is worth this much.

If he can get and stay healthy, I’d rather have Lauri.

I mostly agree, but it just makes me more apathetic thinking about how it doesn't matter how good/strategic you are, it's way more important to be lucky.

It's way more important than even that, to be more important to the success of the league so they will give you a higher draft pick. See what it did this year? Propelled the Mavs, sixers and spurs to the top 3 spots! Way more important to be a team the league wants to succeed, and that, unfortunately, will never be the Jazz.

Ace Bailey may turn out to be the best player from this draft

I don't really understand what the Spurs are doing at the guard. I thought they'd get rid of Fox and go young but nobody is going to trade for that now. It looks like Castle is going to be on the outside looking in and he might not be happy about it.

I mean, Castle isn't really good enough to be demanding anything. Spurs promised Fox that extension in order to get him in the trade. That was before they got lucky in the lottery.

 

[Ron Mexico]

That's too much money for Fox, but he's a good player and you definitely want a veteran at PG on that team not a young guy.

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

Would you guys do Lauri for Castle picks and salary filler?

 

[KqWIN]

It’s a blessing that the Spurs have decided to use a max “slot” on Fox. The list of players who would have wanted to play with Wemby for that kind of money is long and there are certainly better players than Fox on that list.

That's a lot of salary filler
