To the best of my knowledge yes. The French reporter acknowledged that he was building a home in Houston but also shopping for one in SA.

I dunno. Maybe there is some plan to "live" there and pay less taxes no matter where he ends up.

I don’t think it matters where you live it’s where you work right? So all the road games are taxed according to that states taxes

They love this "Kings FO told players a move would be made and no move was made so Kings FO are dummies" narrative.

Also "Kings suck they didn't tell the guy he was being traded by scheduling a 30 minute meeting with 2 hours of down time to digest this news in Outlook".

Earned income yes, passive income, which megamillionaires should have tons of, no. Also endorsement income I imagine if you sign a $250 million shoe deal you pay most of that tax to wherever you "reside".

You’re not getting all three and picks what’s Miami’s motive to trade a seven footer averaging 15-8 shooting 40% from three last 8 games

Interesting - with the info that a trade deadline move is needed for Fox to renegotiate for +$10mm, I wonder if the implication is that Kings discussed a possible trade with Klutch, and Klutch decided to put them on blast in order to pressure them to make a trade to his desired destination by the deadline?

Which could easily end up backfiring if the FO was trying to quietly get Fox to the Spurs (or somewhere else) at the deadline, presumably a good offer in hand, and Klutch just opened up a bidding war that both could mess up that deal and soil Fox’s reputation. Which as @Tetsujin mentioned isnt out of character for Klutch in terms of botching deals for their clients

Also the Recee tweet is still up and not deleted

I tend to agree with you on most of your posts, but do you feel that it was handled correctly? I do feel in hindsight that Fox was sort of left out to dry as the media and fans speculated Fox was to blame when he wasn’t even consulted about it.

I think a press conference could have set the record straight and now I wonder how Fox felt about that.

The media are crying about a narrative that they helped create though. They’re the ones who blamed Fox for the firing in the first place

The fan driven media that demanded we extend/raise Brown and hates our FO is driving all these hostile narratives.

I'd rather have the toxic legit reporters in a real sports town than all these clowns. Vivek was in India and by all accounts he pulled the trigger and the team immediately started winning. By the time he returned why bother?

I think it’s mildly hilarious that Fox is saying crazier things have happened. While true, why is this even being considered as crazy? They (Fox and his wife) most certainly had to play a part in all of this. There’s no “I’m shocked to see my name being thrown out there” and “I’d rather stay and get the Kings back in the playoffs” talk which is what someone who was really invested would be likely to say. Instead, his wife is making comments like “go get it” and Fox seems super calm and composed, even has preferred destinations in mind.

Reading between the lines, this was a power play from Fox and his agent and they are positioning the Kings as the ones who started all of this. At minimum, Fox knew about this and agreed to it. It’s more likely that he outright expressed that he wanted out. Would explain his poor play this month and relative disinterest.

Right now this is my preference:

Trade Fox for 3 firsts and that swap back, Sochan and salary (trying to be conservative but wanting more.

I ride out the season with Monk and Ellis as starters and Carter getting big minutes. See what those guys do with a balanced offense/defense approach.

Sochan rebounds, defends, passes, plays gritty and is only 21. Nice wing flyer, if he shoots he is a super stud.

worse case scenerio we end in the top 12 and we have our pick this year. Now you have a ton of draft picks to swing a big trade in the offseason.

What I think will happen:

Lavine, 2 picks and the swap back. Maybe one young player and a couple seconds.
