Amick: De’Aaron Fox requests trade
- Thread starter Tetsujin
- Start date
Agree with all of this and I was worried about our lack of draft picks going forward, combined with mega salaries we were soon going to have to pay. We need to be more like Houston, less like the Lakers (goes without saying).
I think now is the time to load up on more young talent and picks.
Blessing in disguise.

It's just slimy PR stuff to save Fox's image while also expressing the desire to leave privately. Snake behavior and not something I want on this team.
I remember when "players demanding a trade" was essentially a death sentence for their popularity both in the hometown and across the league. You'd forever be branded a selfish, "me first" guy.
Agents have really changed the game, and I'm not convinced it's been for the better.

That ATL pick this season has a chance to net us a great young talent on a rookie deal though. If they keep sliding and it ends up top 4, you’re getting either white KG, Rutgers Cade Cunningham, potentially the best Lithuanian to ever play in the NBA non-Sabonis edition, or Brandon Miller who hasn’t been an accessory to murder (though I think he’s got a really good chance at being a bust).
It’s not that we think he’s gonna be easily replaceable. I saw the writing on the wall. Dude wants out and he’s not leaving us much choice. Either trade him or lose him for nothing. I also don’t think Fox is worth a super max. I am choosing to look at this as a good solution for the kings. Fox isn’t “the guy” this team has always wanted him to be. So let’s get rid of him and hopefully we get better.
Absolutely unreal that a grown man is letting is wife "negotiate" for him on Twitter. I'm thinking she wears the pants in that house. I always suspected that when I would hear stories about her "coaching" him on his game and giving him critical feedback.
Who in the world wants to come home from their extremely high level job where they are one of the best in the world, surrounded by the best coaches money can buy, only to be nagged by your wife about how you could "do better". Fox is whipped. She's probably driving the trade demand as well.
-5 Lasagnas for Reecey-poo.

Portland randomly deciding to win now and the Sixers sorta trying to play both sides of the tank discussion kinda puts ATL’s ultimate position in flux but you really never know what may happen over the last 30 plus games of the season.
If that pick even just ends up as like Liam McFeeley, that’s still really cheap wing and shooting depth to play off of Monk and Domas.

I was the mod who did it.
Don't pretend you weren't deliberately violating the no-profanity rule by doing it. You were. Intentionally. You did it, I believe, four times in one post, and I was willing to overlook it by just editing it and moving on. Don't insult me by pretending you weren't intentionally breaking the rules. You were. Don't do it again.
