News Expansion Draft Protection discussion - Adam Silver says NBA will make decision on expansion in 2026, cites Seattle and Las Vegas as possibilities

I would not trust this clown's "two separate sources"

Translation: he watched some youtuber speculate about possibilities, and another aggregator picked it up. As those 2 are not siamese twins, they're technically "separate sources".

I’m not. If they need to trade him, they’ll be able to.

Hope you’re right: 58M and 62M for a 31 and 32 year old, respectively, player that relies on speed should give many teams pause.

Makes me think best time to flip him is no later than Summer 2027.

Gonna start some "Fox will retire a Spur and his #4 will hang from the rafters" mojo to offset those who want to so cavalierly cast him off

I’ve been saying this like crazy. The guy is going nowhere.

By the time those years roll around,those will actually be a smaller part of the cap. He’s also no longer a guy who leans into his physical gifts. He’s developed a pretty well rounded game.

While I don’t see it being imminent, it’s looking very much like both Castle and Harper’s shots are rounding into form. If that does happen, they’ll both be All Star if not All NBA level players. If is the case, you just can’t keep all four of Wemby, Fox, Castle, and Harper. That would be110% of the cap for 4 players.. It’s not even about writing a big enough check. It’s about losing draft picks to the second apron. I see both Fox and Vassell gone NLT 2028. Vassell might be gone in 27, when his 28 contract takes a dip and becomes more attractive.

I won’t be sad when he’s traded in two summers tbh.
