My Portland friend said they have sensed Anfernee Simons will be CJ's long term investment. Simons's progress this season and the result made them decide to cash in CJ.
No we will hold onto these vets and let them rot with this team. Then they will leave for free or trade for some scrubs/2nd rd picks/cash consideration. Meanwhile the rebuilding teams who are accumulating assets and talent in the right way will leap through us one by one.
Only if he is playing to the level of his max contract. A 21+5 PG shooting under 25% from 3 and barely defends? Doesn't seem to have any premium for Fox right now as you can see in the trade market.
Not all empty stats are equal. No one bother to call Fox an empty stat guy now. I believe he will be better under a different environment but it is a different story to quote Booker or even Mitchell as an example to support this statement, at least for now.
Have you seen Booker's number even before CP3 came? He is not close to Devin Booker lol. I would even doubt if he can be a Wiggins type of role because his skillset is a lead guard.
To think of it, Warriors has Curry, Klay, Wiggins and Green for the present and Poole, Wiseman, Kuminga, Moody in the line. Compare to us it is an astounding difference on talent level. Honestly it is hard to be so bad lol
But they still find a way to playoff with Chris Paul, SGA and Schroder which the Kings can't do in 15 years. It is funny to me that our fans always find a way to diss other teams while being the absolute worst team in NBA.
And the willing partner will be convinced by him. I have nothing against him right now but as time goes on he will need to prove he can do better than these failed deals.
You move on another deal. The fact that he sat there and didn’t do anything after the deal failed through already made me question his competency a bit. The team looks miserable and he needs to do something by end of transfer window or he is likely to be fired.
