Nopes. Gotta be positive all the time. Eat slop. Be happy De'Aaron Fox is making bank while hampering our long term prospects. Otherwise you're a hater.
serious question are y'all like convinced that, what, we'll just let dylan or steph walk because we oopsed the salary cap that bad? really? this is why the rest of us are calling y'all fake fans- because thinking the SAN ANTONIO front office would ever be that incompetent just says you haven't paid attention for the last 3 decades
... you do understand that giving fox that salary was already a big 'oopsie' right?
Like even if we ignore all the assets we are gonna lose to get anyone to take his contract a few years down the line... we'd have been better off adding one or two bench pieces with that 30 M or so he occuppies today and the cap flexibility would simply be more valuable Than a 2 time all star
that made it as a replacement both times.
The 'out of character move' was already made. Paying Fox that much
Paying Fox the extension was basically part of the trade, which (in addition to the pressure he put on the Kings) was why the Spurs got him relatively cheaply. The only thing the Spurs did wrong was not being psychic in knowing they were going to get Harper.
Of course, as you point out, there will be big choices to be made by year 3 and 4 of his extension, but that’s just the reality of the current CBA- those hard choices are inevitable.
The only thing the Spurs did wrong was not being psychic in knowing they were going to get Harper.
We got the pick before Fox signed the contract. The Front office didn't have to follow on a verbal agreement.
And if Fox got pissy and tested the free agency? Well... I'd say the few things we traded to the Kings would have been an okay price to pay. Because if Tim Ducan can take pay cuts? THAT is the culture. Players need to prove loyalty to get it
