Amick: De’Aaron Fox requests trade

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
Like I have mentioned, the intel points to our FO starting this entire fiasco by bringing a trade proposal to Fox/Paul. Not the other way around.
There are reports that say that Fox is open to resigning with both SAC and SA. Does that sound like someone that is requesting a trade? Not to me. I would imagine that a fair amount of star players who were notified that their GM is considering trading them would be upset, but the reports tend to suggest that Fox would still be okay staying in SAC even after getting wind of this situation.

This could certainly be a logical explanation of the situation, but it contradicts Recee's tweets or requires Recee to be juvenile and slimy.
That's certainly possible. Not everyone in the world has good character, but I'd like to think Recee is not one of those people but could be completely wrong about her.

When I moved to Portland I listed my house in Culver City without doing any repairs just hoping to get out clean. Got a few offers over asking so had my realtor reply to every person that made an offer that best and final were due tomorrow at 5pm. I did very well.
Kings should just tell every team that called yesterday that their best and final is due tomorrow at 5. We can always counter. Let's move on with a week to clean up the mess.

[Charania] DeAaron Fox’s top destination is the San Antonio Spurs and he would be reluctant to signing a long term contract in Sacramento or anywhere else if traded
I'm not sure Shams actually says it, but it's been said in the past as well.

The team I'd be focusing on doing a deal with is HOU, even if its only to create a base line offer and resulted in the other more "prefered" destinations sweetening their offers and creating a bidding war.
Reason is, at worst (if Fox says he wont resign) you might be able to convive them it makes sense even as a 1.5 yr rental.
Fox / Huertsme / C.Jones for FVV / J.Smith / Whitmore (or Eason)
They'd have the next year and a half to convice Fox to stay & have the inside running on re-signing him longterm. They've given up Smith and Whitmore but they got so much talent & picks, its likey they are gonna have to choose between them all eventually. They might see it as worth the risk especially with how Thompson has been playing lately.
If thats our baseline or worst case scenario, could create a lot of flexability for discussions with Miami / Spurs etc about what they include and obviously if Fox says he'd resign in HOU...you can ask for much more.

As much as I like Fox, I’ve secretly kinda been hoping we trade simple because I think the ceiling is what it is with the current roster. We don’t have enough assets. This can be the move that gets us extra picks/assets. I’m also really high on Carter and believe Keegan has a ton of growth potential still
I think we got a baseline the other night and that's part of why the team went to Paul. 1) communicate a possible can't say no offer is on the table so Fox's preferred destination can match and 2) ask if Fox would extend with whoever made it.
Paul took that as the opportunity to go on the offensive and make the FO look bad. But most likely everyone has been upfront that Fox would like to go to San Antonio before yesterday.

I love Fox, but trading him won't be the worst thing. Given our roster imbalance triggered by us going for BPA (or at least what Monte thought was BPA) in the draft and Keon's development, we need to trade a guard for some help in the front court. Fox is the most likely candidate; not only in terms of what we can get, but also the fact that he has not committed to us (now, has asked for a divorce), and the fact that Monk, Keon, and Carter are all significantly cheaper.
We did it with Haliburton earlier. That ultimately turned out to be a win. If we can get decent returns, we move on and hope some of the young guys will be able to step up when asked to be the main guy on a consistent basis.

I don't think so. He's putting up numbers similar to Shai I guess in his rookie year but he's probably not a player you can count on until his next contract. Making him off limits in a Fox deal is insane. I don't think Castle ever gets to Fox's level.
Also pretending Vassell is "close" to off limits when his contract is an anchor is just teams being delusional. It's like saying Lyles is off the table in a Jaren Jackson Jr. move.

I’d just hope to see a move happen for Cam or Collins, preferably Cam that includes Huerter, parts and draft compensation. That could improve this team significantly enough to dispel any talks that the Kings aren’t trying to improve players around Fox.
As far as all the Fox trade talk, I don’t like it, think management could have constructed a more balanced team over the years which may have made this talk a non issue. Also can’t stand people like Rich Paul, will never listen to Adele again if they are still together, but there’s this consideration too. Fox recently turned 27, could easily play another ten years in the league. He seems like a devoted family man with young kids and like a whole lot of regular people might want to settle where they think best to raise their family.
The amount of money you can make by playing here or there, sort of loses significance once you’re talking that many dollars.

It was reported that Houston doesn't want to trade for Fox this season because they want to see how their current core plays out. If they were gokng to trade for him, it would be in the offseason, but I don't think the Kings can wait until then. Fox's value would go down tremendously, and there's no guarantee that Houston would even be interested in him.
I secretly do think that Klutch made calls to Houston who basically said they're not interested right now, and that's why you see Fox's camp pivot to San Antonio.
