2025-26 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

I watched Pau also got killed by Boston the first Season? Whats your point? Following the 2008 NBA Finals, Pau Gasol faced significant criticism from fans and media who perceived his play as "soft" against the Boston C Bags, leading to calls for his trade. Despite his critical role in bringing the Lakers to that series and subsequent titles, physical play in the 2008 finals ignited persistent trade rumors and negative media narratives around him. ......i Never said he did not struggle. Defensively, the Knicks stifled De'Aaron Fox by packing the paint, daring him to settle for three-pointers, and deploying OG Anunoby to aggressively defend him

 

Fox still ran the team better than anyone else on the Spurs, before he came back from his injury, they were getting 20+ turnovers a game, he calmed them down and averaged more assists than the other guys, I think. I am not dumping on him, he was coming off an injury and was clearly NOT at the top of his game. He did make a couple of mistakes and that shot definitely hurt them but this is something you hope he learns from.
