Among all of the speculation that the San Antonio Spurs could look to move on from point guard De’Aaron Fox, there are certain teams around the NBA that make a lot more sense to trade for the former All-Star than others.
While Fox had a rough playoff series, I think it’s important that Spurs fans and the front office look at his whole body of work, which suggests that he’s still an above-average player. The only thing I can agree with is that moving on from Fox would make sense because of Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper.
Regardless, it would take two teams to make a trade if the Spurs decide to go that route, and according to a writer at The Athletic, a few teams could make sense. One of them he brought up was the Phoenix Suns, who recently re-signed Collin Gillespie, so a deal would make more sense around Jalen Green, Grayson Allen, or some pairing of Green, Allen, and Royce O’Neale.
“Here’s the team that I think you can very easily make a case for doing this: Phoenix. Phoenix probably wants a point guard. I know that they could easily re-sign Colin Gillespie, but Colin Gillespie can be like an elite sixth man in the NBA,” Sam Vecenie said. “You could pretty easily do something around like Jalen Green, Grayson Allen, or you could do Jalen Green and Royce O’Neale.”
I don’t love the return here for the Spurs, which could make it better to just keep Fox on the roster for the short term.
The thing with Fox is that his contract is going into effect next season, so it might be better to have players like O’Neale, Green, and Allen in the short term.
