San Antonio's only confirmed move this week is a G League coaching hire; the Fox and Keldon Johnson trade chatter making the rounds is speculation without a reported deal behind it. The one hard date worth tracking is October 1, when Devin Vassell's extension window opens.
What did the Spurs actually confirm about their coaching staff?
Hoops Rumors and Pounding The Rock both reported that Chris Kent is the new head coach of the Austin Spurs, San Antonio's G League affiliate, as of September 12. That hire is confirmed, not speculation. Nothing has been reported yet about how Kent's staff will connect to Mitch Johnson's roster or feed players up to the Spurs.
Are the Spurs shopping Keldon Johnson?
Air Alamo's Jahlil Williams argued that San Antonio should consider selling high on Keldon Johnson. That's opinion, not reporting: no team has been named and no talks have been reported. San Antonio has made no roster moves in the last 150 days, running back the same group that reached last season's Finals.
Could a De'Aaron Fox trade really happen?
Air Alamo's Cal Durrett floated a blockbuster reuniting the Spurs with a former star in a proposed De'Aaron Fox trade. It's a scenario, not a report of talks. Fox is signed for $49.8 million, the largest contract on the roster, and San Antonio has made no moves this summer — nothing here points to the front office actually shopping him.
What is the deadline attached to Devin Vassell's contract?
The Spot Up Shot's Paul Garcia reported that Devin Vassell's extension window opens October 1. That's a real date on the calendar, not speculation, and it lands before training camp even opens. Vassell earns $27.0 million this season, the second-largest contract on the roster behind Fox.
Is there real evidence Fox is set for a bounce-back?
Air Alamo's Ty Small framed a Fox bounce-back as a potential career-defining stretch. The number behind that storyline is real: Fox's true shooting fell to 42.7 percent over his final 10 games last season, 13.3 points below his mark for the year. Whether that reverses is unproven until games are actually played.
Have the Spurs made any trades this offseason?
No. San Antonio has made no roster moves in the last 150 days, running back the same roster that reached last season's Finals.
When does Devin Vassell's extension window open?
October 1, according to The Spot Up Shot's Paul Garcia.
