Yeah, this sounds like the Kings have no interest in a rebuild right now and they shouldn't. They've shown potential w/o Fox already. Enough to commit to them over him at this point anyway. If it doesn't work the path is clear for either building back around Domas/Murray/etc. or rebuilding. In the short term you start testing out what a pick package gets on the open market with your vast supply.
As a baseline to bring to San Antonio, etc. I would imagine there were multiple FRP attached and the point is to just prove they can get 4+ picks and players that will contribute to the team now.
It's clear Fox isn't coming back if the team says they are going to mortgage their future solely to appease him and he still won't sign an extension.

Sochan can defend though, which Ingram cannot do. Ingram is also kind of bad at.. you know, getting on the basketball court, which is sort of a problem. Oh and he's a UFA so we get to deal with this madness a year earlier this summer.
If we were forced to trade for only Sochan or Ingram, I'd take Sochan. Not even that close of a decision when you factor in the impending UFA, Ingram's lack of defense and health.

At this point, why would you want to mortgage the future in order to keep him? Best the KINGS have been able to accomplish with him was 48 wins and a first round exit. Despite solid surrounding talent.
If Swipa had helped lead the team to a conference finals appearance at some point in the past, it might make some sense to keep him and re-shuffle the deck to see if you get a more balanced 5. But what is the upside at this point?
It's clear he can't be the alpha dog on a true contender. Which is why he (or his agent) is wanting to join Wemby. Even they are aware of it.

I never did. None of the deals we were talking about were worth attaching a FRP to. I'm all for trading Huerter who I consider a 2/3 for someone that is more of a 3/4. Straight up, once you add picks why not just use the picks on that player. They are going to be behind Keegan and DeMar on the bench anyways.
I'd also just say our stupid unserious fan media podbros get excited about any player with a recognizable name entering the block and go all in on them regardless of fit.

Well, Sochan wouldn't start right away, Keon would. There's your spacing. Also Domas just becoming an elite spacer this year makes this way less of a problem. And DDR isn't a long-term option, so you wouldn't have to plan the team build around that long-term
Monk-Keon-Keegan-Sochan-Domas works just fine to me. Especially if you can get Keegan to take the offensive leap with a bigger role. And who knows, Sochan's seemingly solved some of his efficiency problems this year. Maybe he learns to shoot in 2 years.
