De'Aaron Fox Traded to Spurs for Zach Lavine, three first round picks
- Thread starter Tetsujin
- Start date
I'm sure Monte would have too although don't underrate the value of a deep pick when packaging multiples. In a worst case the best picks the Kings were always going to have were their own. The magic number is 4-5 picks to make a super duper win now trade. The Kings can actually do that at some point if they need to. Had Monte traded a 1st for Cam, Kuz, Collins, etc. he literally would have taken himself out of any equations later on because of the Hawks pick hold up and the Stepien rule. And even worse if the Kings do rebuild he'd have pulled a Bulls where his own picks have strings attached. Monte did a great job considering the circumstances. He learned a lot the last few seasons. He made mistakes and he doesn't seem to be making the same ones over and over.
I don't think you can keep doing this and expecting people to take you seriously. I actually appreciate that you add a different perspective to the board and I seek out your content, but this constant "I have sources," but you only reference them when it is to totally flame the front office, is a bit silly. You can't just say something totally outrageous, and then imply that it is based on rumors or inside information you are hearing, and expect everyone to take it seriously, when we have all seen this exact pattern before.
Will miss Kev. I wonder if we even have "Light the Beam," without him. He was the player who really embraced it at first, and I remember all the guys on that first team laughing about how Kev was the guy who really loved the beam. He was a big part of taking from a corny thing designed by management to something that the team and city bought into.
I was watching CD, he interviewed the Bulls announcer about LaVine. Obviously, LaVine’s offense is pretty elite, he can do everything on that end. They asked about his defense, and he said that some people gwt this idea about them that they never shake. He claims that LaVine is a strong 1 on 1 defender that does sometimes have lapses, but will basically more than make up for any defensive mistake on the offensive end.
this is not an I have sources comment,
this is strictly an internet rumor (stated as a rumor) and I posting to see if others have also heard it. If I have sources I will post it as such. This rumor is not that and only echoed because the trade is not yet final and I hope (and pray) we get a better pick.

Yah Keon when starting is one of the best defensive guards in the league. The guy can shut down people, and hit a three to boot (40%+). 3 and D guy and we should be happy that he will get more minutes. When Fox was gone he was playing lights out, and almost averaging 3 steals a game while shooting well over 50%, and 40% from 3. Overall he's not better than Fox, but in terms of this team, and chemistry is a lot better.
