The Celtics stripped the core down to simply the two Jays, who were only a year apart in age. I don't see how that's a model for what you're suggesting.
Also, who do you see as recent dynasties? Golden State? San Antonio? In both cases the core was entirely drafted by the team. Shaq/Kobe Lakers can be seen as an exception, however; Laker cores tend to consist of perimeter players they drafted plus a center who wants to live in Los Angeles.
Celtics literally kept their core, which I said. They let them grow. They recently gave up Smart after years of letting them grow together. I know they kept sending out the others, which I also said, they kept going after the big guns but injuries derailed it every time… until last season. I don’t get what you’re asking, I said I want them to keep their core together like we did! I wanted to add Sochan to their core but I feel like I’d be pushing it. That’s why I asked what it would take to get Fox and was hoping they had something that could work other than those core guys I mentioned.
If you think Fox would be secondary to Wemby, Castle, Sochan, et al. -- much as Jrue is for the Celtics now -- then cool.
If you see him as part of the Spurs' core, then I don't think he fits the models I was highlighting.
I’m not trying to build the Spurs into the Celtics. I’m trying to build around Wemby. Fox would definitely be a part of the Spurs core if they obtain him, he’s only 27.
Really, I don’t understand what you’re asking or if/how you’re disagreeing. Fox would be second to Wemby, I don’t think that’s a question. All I wanted to know is who they would have to give up to get him.
I only used the core of guys they could let grow together if they choose to stand pat. You can’t keep all of them if they acquire Fox, I don’t think, but that’s why I asked. If they don’t have to send one that would be great. Maybe they have enough good picks and other players to cobble together. I watch Wemby, I know nothing much about the Spurs.
I really don’t know who the Spurs could realistically get, I know I hope they don’t push chips for an old guy. I can’t think of one that would be right anyway.
