Kendrick Perkins: The Spurs Need to Move On From De’Aaron Fox

Perkins also predicts a Giannis Antetokounmpo trade could happen before the draft, with Boston and Miami emerging as the most intriguing landing spots.

  1. Perkins please explain how all the blame for the spurs collapse is only fox fault. Find it funny that mitch Johnson get off the hook. Leadership is not created by blaming players. If the spurs don’t balance the roster and get an experienced coach expect the same result. What is the definition of insanity doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results. Pop saw that bob hill was not the right guy so he came down from GM and the result is history

  2. I don't hate fox but now fox is trouble for spurs.

    1. Dylan harper prove his talent of superstar. Sppurs can not push harper in bench as fox get huge salary.

    2. Weakmess of spurs guards are low 3pt ability. Fox, harper, castle is the type of slasher. Harper& castle.are big size guards, but in position of fox must shoot 3pt.sharply.

    3. New member. -Johns garcia is good guard, too. Just injury. We don't know any good guard is coming in furure.

    Without emotion, fox.face great challemge inside. Harper, Castle.is already superstar.

    If just fox handling ball well and bad shot rate, it is better to trade for the teams that meeds ball handler😊

  3. People please go and look at mitch Johnson resume. He was totally out of his depth. If pop who was the Gm at the time tim Duncan was drafted and looked down on the floor and saw bob hill who an experienced nba coach and determined he was not the right fit for the team and took the helm. Why wouldn’t someone look at Mitch johnson who has no high school, college, g league or nba coaching experience and not summarize that he is not the person to coach this team. The only reason he was given the team is because pop got sick unexpectedly, and the rest of his guys that he had groomed was already coaching other teams. This situation is not that complicated young man not ready for the task.

  4. For the people WHO DONT GOT COMMON SENSE wemby averaged 26ppg AND FOX AVERAGED 11 POINTS….thats the issue….spurs was up EACH GAME BY DOULBLE DIGITS DESPITE FOX AVERAGING 11ppg SO IF FOX average atleast 18ppg THEY WIN 4-0…….fox was dropping 40,50 and 60 pt games with the kings AND NO HE CAN BARELY SCORE 15 pts???? BUT YALL THINK WEMBY WAS THE ISSUE??? This is a st*pid narrative people are tryna push…..never seen a AN ALLSTAR player like Fox average 11ppg that’s going to get a 200 million dollar extension AND NO ONE CALLS HIM OUT TO PLAY BETTER….but the ALLSTAR teammate who averaged 26ppg has to play better?? Make that make sensešŸ¤¦šŸ¾ā€ā™‚ļø

  5. Fox and Mitch Johnson = need to go. Coach Pop would have "Another Chip" – how can you be Up 72% of the entire-series and "Have a Lead" in each game, with under 2 min in 4th Quarter and Lose ???

  6. Perk knows BIG MAN CENTER stuff. Too bad he doesn’t know PSYCHICS!! Every football coach, rugby coach or 5’9ā€ 190lb guy who has guarded 6’3ā€ 190lb guys knows. LOW MAN WINS!!!
    Wemby at 7’5ā€ 240lb(skinny) will never be able to hold or get position on 6’8ā€ to 7’1ā€ 240lb plus BIGS. He may be able to go over or around BIGS, but he will never be able to go thru them! The PSYCHICS of LEVERAGE and his HIGH center of gravity! Yes, work on his game, but!
    SAS needs a CENTER to BODYGUARD for Wemby. Getting bigger for Victor is a non starter, unless you want him to get injured more! Conditioning is not the issue, playing 40min against at least 2 men on the court who are BIGGER than him is the problem.
    Acquire BEEF STEW,Yabusele, Wiseman and drafting a CENTER.
    Wemby needs to be the PF. Trade Fox, yes it will cost at least 1 #1 pick, but it must get done to get the starting 5 the Spurs need to win. Harper, Castle, 3NDWing, Wemby, CENTER.
    Bring back CP3, to mentor and be 3rd PG. Would those BIG scoring droughts have happened while jacking up 3s early on the shot clock happened if CP3 were there? NOPE!

  7. De Aaron fox for Jackson jr what kinda dumb silly ass trade move is that🤣🤣🤣got dam.I got something much better than that,What about sending fox to bulls for Anfernee Simmons.And I guarantee u we will be seeing the spurs in the playoffs again next year.The spurs needs a back up point guard or shooting guard,someone who doesn’t shrink in 4 quarters and who actually shows up in crunch times and that is Anfernee Simmons.Hello do anyone notice for years what Anfernee Simmons has done on the trailblazers and what he has done with the Celtics and bulls.But his time will be getting waisted with the bulls.I believe they need to make a trade like that right now,ASAP.

  8. Kat didn't show up after game 1. Had 1 bucket in the entire series in the 4th and averaged 13 a game. Stop big Perk. He had 1 great game and then was blanked

  9. The Spurs need a big that can play with Wemby. Duncan was always the power forward. He played with someone else at center most of the time. Wemby needs to take care of his body because gaining too much weight could negatively impact his career. But they need a big who can bang with the more physical players and make it more difficult for them to just beat up Wemby. Perk's take on Ginobli was wrong though, he was a sixth man but he was part of their big three. I don't think him coming off the bench reflects badly on him, I think he bought in to a system that worked.

  10. That’s interesting about Rich Paul…seems like the league should have a rule where an agent can’t represent a coach and a player that are on the same team…seem like a conflict of interest in multiple ways..

  11. First of all Perk shut up. Manu accepted his role and he was never upset. When it was time to give players like Michael Finley Danny Green and Brent Barry rest because those were the starting SG. Who did Pop call it was Manu. He never complained when he could have. Manu accepted his role. That’s why he won Sixth man the year along with 4 championships. Harper is Manu is that what you said no. CB could be Manu. Wemby is Duncan Harper is Parker and CB and/or Castle is Manu. Now the NYK thing with Fox is funny.

  12. Very simple. spurs front office is way overated! They have drafted badly for very long – Primo, the 3 idiots from the first round 2023 draft class to name a few! They were lucky to get Wembly, Castle and Harper which are no brainer at their respective draft pick. I can assure everyone they will screw up again this 2026 draft because their pick is in the 20 – meaning they need to use their brain a bit which they don’t have! Then on top of this they give Fox such a huge contract! They could simply can wait for a year and see how Harper pen out first before making such a decision. Sure they could lose Fox for nothing but I think it’s still way better than having a huge and unmovable contract for a at best, above average NBA PG.
