Need a center presence…..by the way ….when you are 15/51 from 3pt land somebody needs to tell them to stop shooting…..absolutely ridiculous…..
I lied. This is my last comment. Take this from a 27 years kings fan.
I watched THAT fox look like THAT for 8 years. He'll look good one game and then some 8th man like Jose Alvarado will just whoop his butt😂😂😂 fox will CHUCK up a lot of shots and his team will just LOSE or look uninterested OR LAZY.
Kings won the trade. They got out of the fox business.
The spurs will win a championship IF AND WHEN Wemby becomes a real MVP player. That's like 2-3 years from now. Not because of fox.
The spurs will be paying fox (a 3rd option) about 70-75 million dollars per season.
And fox ruined Keegan Murray. What I'm seeing from castle, just look at castles poor body language on the bench each time fox subs in for him😂😂😂
The spurs fans will see who the REAL fox now😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 He'll chuck up a lot of shots. Most of the time, his team loses.
Fox usually loses to Jose Alvarado and TJ McConnell.(just letting yall spurs fans know) Tobias Harris is not just a kings k!ller, he's just plays well vs fox😂😂😂
There were so many games monk and demar bailed out fox's LAZY@SS nonchalant performances.
Fox will gave 1-2 good games followed it up with STINKERS. Because Jamal Murray or Shai or Brunson or JOSE ALVARADO are whooping his butt😂😂
The Spurs need a new head coach with a new mindset and Mitch ain't it, he's a good assistant coach, just not the right head coach especially for Wemby's career and player development.
Maybe it won't make much difference right now, but Castle needs to play often, to gradually reach the same output he had at Unconn, good rebounder, above 20 points, and also double point guard. In short, to be comfortable in the game, to achieve a certain balance. In the game, the Spurs often have almost half as many rebounds as their opponents, so it's very difficult to win unless you're very good at shooting, but that's not the case.
