Rich Paul reveals he had Darius Garland lined up for a trade to the Spurs prior to the Fox trade, and that Fox had no problem with being the #2 behind Wemby:
"I remember a trade getting ready to take place and De'Aaron and I were talking about it, and we were talking about different options where he could go etc, and obviously I had the Spurs kinda teed up..
At first it wasn't De'Aaron, it was another guard that I represent that I was envisioning going there, because De'Aaron wasn't wanting to be traded yet..
It was Darius Garland. He was flustered, he was frustrated and he wanted to get out.. and the Spurs before they got the 2nd pick, they needed a point guard. And I thought next to Wemby, with shooting and all that. And then things changed and he was fine.
And then so now Mike Brown got fired.. and so in De'Aaron's case when he finally got to the point to where ‘you know what it's probably time’, and we're having a conversation, one of the things we talked about was: OK if you get to the Spurs, are you OK being number 2?
And (Fox) didn't even flinch.
'Absolutely, absolutely.'"
