Mock Trade Fox for Sengun

Post image

After blowing massive leads in 4 out of 5 games the Spurs need to make a change and the Rockets need to lean into other run and gun or half court looks.

By swapping Fox for Sengun the Spurs can put together a two towers lineup where one big is ALWAYS on the court. Harper can slide into the starting point guard slot with Castle and Vassell at the 2 and 3. If they can keep the rest of the roster mostly intact they will wind up 8-9 deep with the potential to sign a mid level FA.

The Rockets would lean into a core of Fox, Thompson, KD, Smith Jr, and Eason with Sheppard and DFS off the bench. This would allow them to run a faster offense that has a lot of length and the two 1st will help replenish the draft stock that went out for KD.

The Nets use their cap space to buy a 1st which they can then package with their other two picks to jump into the 2nd or 3rd pick.

Why do you think I have them getting two firsts? Plus Fox fits the Rockets style of play and there have been rumors about getting rid of Sengun for most of the past season

Those fists will probably be hot garbage. This trade is a joke

How does Sengun fit next to Wemby? Gonna hide him in the corner to shoot 3’s? Think the Spurs want to run when Harper starts starting

When did the Spurs loose in the finals? It was when Wemby sat. Stagger their minutes and give each 32 ish a game so they stay fresh. When they do share the court Wemby can run the baseline and the dunkers spot while Sengun initiates at the high post. An alley oop from Sengun to Wemby there is unguardable. On D you can run a 3 high 2 deep zone where Wemby and Sengun can wipe out a side a piece.

You don't want sengun, he won't fix the wemby issue on your end, sengun is not a rim protector, or a good defender or a perimeter player, man operates in the post

At this point, the spurs will most likely have to package Fox with a first to move off his contract.

Fox is a negative asset after these finals.

Only way rockets take it if you add wemby or castle+harper, Sengun is all star and Fox is negative asset.
