Keon is a guy who wasn't playing a lot of minutes in Sacramento and east coast fans have been cooking up trade ideas on him all season because even they could see in limited time what Mike Brown couldn't.
I'm still a MB fan but I don't get what his blind spot to Keon was. Possible it was just a personnel deal where he didn't want to hurt the feelings of the players that would be losing minutes to Keon.

.
Keon averaged 23 minutes per game in November and then in December all of his games were between 13 and 33 minutes others than 2 minutes against Memphis and then 5 against the Pacers in the blowout. When Mike benched him for that one game in Memphis we all didn’t understand but the next 5 games he logged 21, 16, 20, 33 and 21 minutes. I think it’s fair to argue he should have been playing more but he has definitely been getting solid minutes for a reserve guard under Mike.

True. I would hope that it would only require a few minutes being snipped off of multiple players in order to keep him at his recent MPG rate. The starters have been relied on too heavily this year. I get the reasoning for it but playing them Thibs minutes but it could cost them games at the end of the year if they're in the playoff hunt.
Didn’t we see that already in the Dallas game?
Sabonis 33
Keegan 36
DeRozan 26
Fox 35
Monk 36
Keon got 20 min
Huerter got 20 min
assuming you give Carter all of Huerters min then you still have an issue:
Keon, Carter, Monk, Fox and Heurter are not long enough to play the 3 huge minutes.
DeRozan is at best okay defensively.
you really have 3 guys Lyles, Murray and Sabonis across 96 minutes 4-5 minutes and Keegan often has to add minutes to play defense on bigger offensive minded 3’s.
instead if you trade Fox for a starter level wing
now things look a lot different
Monk / Carter / McLaughlin
Keon / Huerter / Colby Jones
Deebo or Keegan / some small ball
Keegan or new wing / Lyles
Sabonis / Lyles.

Zion can't seem to stay on the court. His weight doesn't help, and he doesn't seem to have the desire to fix that. I'm extremely happy that Zion is Somebody Else's Problem and I want it to stay that way. All the talent in the world, would be an absolute disaster to trade for. I'd rather let Fox walk for nothing.
