Spurs All In Idea #2 ATL TOR
People didn't like the last time I made a post trying to make the Spurs even more elite this offseason, but I still think it's a rare opportunity they should take. I think moving DeAaron Fox could be a good move, to put that money into other positions now that their guards are completely fine without him.
Step 1:
SAS recieves: #8
ATL recieves: #20 + 27frp + 3-4 seconds
Maybe that's not enough to move up but the Spurs have a ton of seconds.
Step 2: Trade Fox for Forward
Idea
SAS recieves: Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick
TOR recieves: DeAaron Fox + 2-3srp
I know it's kind of a weird idea and I'm expecting people to hate it, but trading up to 8 gives them another young guard for injury insurance and depth for like 8M. Fox definitely wouldn't be needed anymore, and my one criticism of the Spurs is they seem short at true forwards. Some of that can be fixed in free agency, but they can afford to trade for a forward that is used to being a role player but can score 15-20 a game. Other guys I liked for them are Dillon Brooks and Trey Murphy, but I'm not sure how trading Fox to get them would work. The only hard thing is how much money Fox is making in the coming years, but if a team wants to bank of him playing like an All-Star again, they could take him for a reduced price
