Amick: De’Aaron Fox requests trade

I've had a very bad feeling the last few days that the Kings were going to get pennies on the dollar for Fox.

I'll wait to see what the actual deal ends up being (assuming it gets done) but this could very well be a disaster.
I'm very worried this get settled through a big multi-team trade where we give up Fox and Kevin and get back Collins and Cam plus a couple so-so first round picks.

The danger is teams will move on. The league is here now, the contract is still there for a short time period, the bidding will never be this quick and easy.
Sure if someone else will offer something cut Spurs out. I don't think we can give him up and get Cam Johnson or John Collins back and Spurs salary and a 2027 pick back.
 
I am talking to this San Antonio guy on reddit he doesn't even want to do the picks.

I say we just cut them out. They aren't serious about him.
The Spurs were stockpiling picks for a reason I would think. Every fan wants to keep picks and hope they draft a generational talent. The Spurs, unlike the Kings in Fox's first years are doing this right. The Kings squandered all of Fox's rookie deal and pushed him around in the rotation to every position but the one he was always going to succeed in. The Spurs aren't wasting time, good for them.

Yeah, the clock during the summer is going to be ticking very loudly compared to now. On the other hand, could potentially be more bidders for cap and CBA reasons during the summer from what I've heard. Maybe 6 of one, half-dozen of the other. All things being equal, get 'er done now if at all possible.
