[Game] 31/82: Kings vs. Pistons 26 DEC 2024, 7pm PT/10pm ET

[PorchSurfin]

As much as I want change. Fox actually played pretty well all game. Not sure Trae Young would help this team.

No Fox did not. He is an inefficient shooter and inefficient scorer in the lane.

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Whole lot of nothing from Fox in the presser. Guy does not want to be there (who would?) and just giving non-answers to everything.

So we’re acting like he’s not part of the problem lmao

Also regarding MB, he called a time out when we had the ball (Fox was about to pass it in bound) and we ran out of timeouts later that would be useful in that final play. But i guess it would be wasted again challenging the foul on Ivey... still that last time out wasn't need to be taken there, it wasn't that Fox couldn't find a teammate to pass the ball to.
Did MB mention it in the presser? No. Did Fox call for that timeout (he could if he wanted to)? No

This post game "talk" by Fox disgusts me. I'm ready to move on

huh? stop projecting your own thoughts and feelings onto what I just said. I commented what I heard from him in the presser (nothing). That's all.

 

[Makaveli]

To be fair this is the most talented team to fail that we have ever had.

 

[TheMobb]

I'd buy that if it was body contact. It was his hands.

if he didn’t put his hands on his arms/shoulders it would’ve been clean or possibly offensive.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

I love Fox. He is Sacramento through and through. And that is absolutely a backhanded compliment.

Hes not my sacramento. Unless you counting all the losing we been doing

 

[PorchSurfin]

Well I'm sorry you guys. I think Trae Young would be better for this roster than Fox. You guys don't apparently. Things can't remain how they are because this is an obvious dumpster fire and it begins and ends with Fox. So tell us how to fix it then. Because the head of the snake is Fox. Tell us, PLEASE.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

You act like fox isn't our franchise player, or that fox isn't statically better. It can definitely be made

But you guys don't want him. So why do you think another team would give you their guy and a pick for him, when there's no indication that they want to get rid of their guy? Trae Young is probably not untouchable, but I can't imagine that the Hawks are willing to give up assets to trade a guy that they don't actually want to move.

I think part of it is that he doesn't want his words to go against someone, his teammates, the refs (for previous calls/no calls not about that foul), MB, all of them? So he chose not to really answer.

Trae young would end my 26 year run as a kings fan

 

[pdxKingsFan]

He's the guy who gets royalty treatment and the keys to the city even if he falls a bit short as long as he says and does the right things.

Anywho he stopped saying and doing that in his thirst for the super max that he quite frankly hasn't earned.

But he's the perfect sort of Sacramento all-star if he just puts his head down and works hard.
that's also why I said it was a backhanded compliment.

 

[luckytkp]

Fox has to do better job on understanding what the situation is called for. He sagged off on Ivey and left jokic wide open when neither should have happened

I know everyone is in a bad mood so here is a picture of what my son did with his Christmas gift from grandpa and grandma

Well sir, if this didn't end your run, I'm afraid your a lifer

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Trae Young would fit this team so much better than Fox.

Based on what? The only thing that Young does appreciably better than Fox, the Kings don't even need, as long as Sabonis is on the team. And Young has shown no ability whatsoever to play with a big who is not a lob threat.

Shooting 3s?

The simple fact that Young can shoot deeper 3s than Fox at a higher clip HELPS Sabonis more than Fox because Fox operates best in the same area Sabonis does, the paint.

 

[captain bill]

Looks like the dude wants to get fired. smh

Really does. He seemed pretty transparently putting this loss on Fox & Fox not following coaching direction. Unfortunately it’s a stars’ league. If the options are trade Fox now and try to rebuild with MB, or fire MB and hope another coach can fix it, then Brown is almost certainly gone.

Would you really rather have Trae Young and a pick or 2-3 recent high draft picks that are 2-3 years away from their potential and 3+ picks?

I view it all as a gamble but one is like betting everything on black while the other is splitting a pair of aces at the black jack table.

He's owed like 30 million on his extension. At the point of signing that, he can say just about anything he wants

Space the floor for one. Way better play maker for two. They are completely different types of players. Would be very interesting.

Personally I'm for not getting a pg back. We have enough of them. Get me another wing please and some picks

Is that where ATL is at? Just curious because I thought last year there was talk that they had to get off Trae?

Fox is OUT. I don't get what you don't understand. He is playing like he is out. And his stock is going down every single day. He needs to go like now.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Brown is not going anywhere. I don't know why this keeps getting brought up. Firing brown doesn't keep fox and throws off 3 years of work. There is absolutely no way brown gets fired.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I don't understand what? I have said I am ready to trade him to Houston or San Antonio for 2 of their recent lotto picks and picks and swaps.

I just don't think Trae is the way to go. That's an all eggs in one basket move and just another kick the can we'll still suck maybe even worse move.

In the last three seasons, Fox and Young's three-point percentages have been identical.

 

[PorchSurfin]

Atlanta is 16 and 15 in a weaker conference and Trae Young is the catalyst. I dont even understand why this is a conversation other than how can we get Young here and change the protections on the pick.

To not explore that is stupid.

Ah, I don't see a clown. I see hurt feelings. I could be way off base but Brown over this season has really been throwing little passive aggressive pot shots at Fox. Like how Fox shouldn't have to get angry and tonight with the rolling the ball out stuff. Two wrongs don't make a right and right now I think Fox and Brown are both wrong in some ways and it's compounding. Fox will take the hit, but that hit was watching the Pistons steamroll you defensively and all you're thinking about is "the offense is slowing down!". Wha....?
