Your right they are down grading Fox now because he is a Spur. Before then it was said he was one of the best pg in the league
I think the main reason Fox got that contract amount was in addition of a promise made is the fact that He will be setting the example for our young guards on how to be professionals. He will also young enough to be able to connect with younger generation compared to CP3. I see a lot of team benefits from this arrangement. Clutch also is a factor for future top players who might join in with Victor to hunt for that ring.
I just wish that the CBA had a lower ceiling but increased the base pay. There should also be weekly performance bonuses. There's too much difference between the bottom and top. Imagine you're Carter Bryant and your co-rookie just got a big contract, that's gotta sting a little when you see your bro arrive to the game in the back of his Lambo SUV while you drove yourself in your Mercedes.
Big shout out to my man Chris for another dope video!!! 🔥🔥🔥 Regarding the hate for Fox…. People are just jealous because they know what's about to happen in the next couple of years. Let's see if they're still saying he's not worth the money when the Playoffs roll around 🤨 Fox is still "THAT DUDE" When people talk about if the three guards can play together YES they can. The reason a lot of people ask the question is because they are traditional thinkers. San Antonio has always been innovators. Just like we were the first team to scout over seas and put multiple foreign players on our team at once. In the next couple of years other teams will try to have 3 dope guards in their lineup as well Lol As for the money people forget Vassell and Keldon Johnson are making a lot of money. The team can trade them to free up cap space or they can just wait until their contracts end and use their money to help in paying for Harper and Castle because they will deserve it more than them. Either way… We're a smart organization. We'll figure it out. I'm not worried at all.
Maaan u speaking facts. People talk outta there azz . Like castle can't work he's azz off to get better. Shhh is annoying
The only move the Spurs probably should make is Devin vassell trading him. Are keldon
Fun Fact. I have an Airbnb near TP house, next to 'The Rose Palace' and I've seen AMP a few times driving around and out and about. blacked out whips lol.
Sign and trade Sochan
overpaid
Wemby went from 32.5% to 35.2% from year 1 to year 2 with 8.8 attempts a game and above 36% in December and February. De'Aaron Fox shot 36.9% from 3 the season before his injury to his shooting hand. If he had two bad shooting years when he was healthy, then I could see writing off his 36.9% as an outlier, an aberration. However, since that was his last healthy season, then we don't have any reason to believe that he can't continue to shoot well. Carter Bryant shot badly in Summer League, but he shot 37.1% from 3 at Arizona. Are we writing off the college season only if it's good? Julian Champagnie shot 37% from 3 last year. Vassell shot reasonably well from 3 and Harrison Barnes shot 43% from 3 last season on 4.4 attempts. Just how many 3 point shooters do you need on the team? Dylan Harper shot 37%~38% on CATCH and shoot 3s last season in college and he had only one other offensive weapon, Ace Bailey, on his team last year, meaning he had the ball late in the shot clock and had to shoot a contested shot.
Did Tony Parker or Kawhi Leonard come in with a great jumpshot? No. Giannis and LeBron weren't strong midrange shooters early on in their careers, but they improved. The league history is full of players who couldn't shoot well when they first came into the league, but they developed into respectable shooters over time.
That said I do recommend that they pick from the Chip Englland shooting coach tree because shooting is going to determine our ceiling and whether we make the playoffs or if we can eventually contend. So we really need a shooting coach and Chip Englland was the best and he has taught a lot of other shooting coaches. There are excellent shooting coaches available and it seems stupid not to grab one since this will determine so much of our future
Extending Fox was smart. He wasn't overpaid.
Fox dropped into the laps of the Spurs. Too bad he did not want to end his career in San Antonio, pray for us.
Fox turned out to be like Rich Paul, his Gangsta agent. It is an OVERPAY. No one is worth that amount of money to play a game. But the American "male" has been brainwashed to believe sports players are employers.
Castle is going to be fine.
Was SGA a great 3P shooter in his rookie season? His sophomore season?
The Spurs are not the Triune God. They don't know the future. If they did, then they don't sign Vassell to a bloated contract extension. Vassell is now taking up valuable minutes that need to go to Castle-Harper-Bryant.
CIA Pop was the reason star players considered. But G-League Mitch ain't Pop. In fact, I predict MJ will be fired either after this season or next. PATSFO should have hired Mike Malone. But alpha male Pop did not want to be upstaged by another alpha male so Sean Sweeney was hired as a head coach-in-waiting.
This fixation on having Fox, Castle and Harper all start next to each other is crazy. Castle will most likely start at the 2 next to Fox at the 1 for most games, with Harper being Fox' back-up. Vassell and Champagnie will play the 3 and provide the outside shooting next to Barnes at the 4 and Wemby at the 5 with Olinyk and Kornet being their back-ups. Sochan can slot in at the 3 or (ideally) the 4 whenever needed and Barnes can obviously play the 3 aswell when needed.
Side note: If Castle and Harper both turn into great players and Fox also stays great, then that wouldn't be problem but instead a nice luxury "problem" to have. The Spurs would likely trade Fox for some nice roleplayers in other spots if that would turn out to be the case, he is not on an immovable contract and the contract doesn't have a no-trade clause, unlike Beal's.
Contract is tradable, my only concern is hitting 1st and 2nd apron before you get a finals appearance once Victor Wembanyama's extension quicks in, which is in 2027-2028. They'd already be above the salary cap with 7 players under contract, then comes Stephon Castle's extension in 2028-2029 and those of Dylan Harper, Carter Bryant in 2029-2030. You can have Castle looking at a $240M extenstion, Harper at $300M and I'm being conservative on the figures, you still have to handle Jeremy Sochan's situation which I did not include in the team payroll. Financially it can quickly become tricky even with cap increases but it's a risk they had to take, there was rumors that Fox was willing to take a slight pay cut but that was before Harper was drafted, which might have changed contract negociations a bit. That can lead to an inflation of future extensions, no matter how you cut it the cap increase can't outpace the extension Spurs FO will be handing out.
It’s a bad contract man. It’s bad team building. It’s not an overall negative contract but it’s closer to a Lavine contract than it is to a good contract
Man you are my favorite spurs YouTuber you don’t do no click bait I appreciate that keep grinding
No worries at all about these three playing together. Even if they aren't the best three-point shooting team right away, the defense might be so good it doesn't matter.
Spurs winning 31 games next season! The contract was a huge over pay IMO
