Before the trade deadline, there was not only a Doncic and Davis trade, but also other superstar trades, but the Doncic and Davis trade took up so much attention that many people ignored the change of other superstars. In fact, one of these trades will have a huge impact on a team, and that influence will last for nearly a decade, and that transaction is Fox joining the Spurs.
Fox has played two games since joining the Spurs, where he combined for 46 points and 19 assists. In today's game against the Hornets, Fox almost hit a last-minute shot, but when the referee looked back and ruled that it was timeout, otherwise Fox would have created the first goal of his Spurs career.
The changes to the Spurs after Fox joined the Spurs were huge, even immediate. The first is that they finally have a top scorer at the guard position, they have a top scorer in key moments, and Fox is known to be very strong on the key ball. The team could have given the ball to Fox when it came time to decide the game in the final moments.
We can't deny that Paul has a lot of experience, but his scoring ability is very limited at this stage. The Spurs' biggest weakness is also the lack of new stars in the guard line. The addition of Fox solves this weakness. And there's reason to believe that Fox would have made much progress under Paul's teachings. It's no secret that there are many players in the league who seem to be able to improve significantly after partnering with Paul, who can be said to be an excellent mentor in the team.
The Spurs' acquisition of Fox means they will officially start the road to a championship, and they have drafted Wembanyama after years of slump, and now they have traded Fox to officially rebuild the team. After the end of the GDP era, they will usher in a new era. As Wembanyama become more and more dominant, they should be regulars in the Western Conference playoffs in the future.
