Amick: De’Aaron Fox requests trade

Looking at the return, you're effectively sending Fox and DeRozan for Castle, Isaac, Johnson, and one pick (ATL 25). That still seems like a light return. For now, the two best players in the trade are probably both coming from the Kings.
As an interesting tangent: Without worrying about salary cap stuff (which might actually work), imagine a Cam/DDR trade straight up was on the table. Do we take that? No Fox drama, none of that, just the roster we have right now does Cam for DDR make us a better team? That's a close one for me. Advanced stats lean Cam. We get bigger, but Cam doesn't push the defense needle. Cam can't create his own shot like DDR. That's kind of a big deal, because if we *do* lose Fox, DDR has maybe a bigger role on our team - if he wants to stay - than he does now. Cam can't fill that role.

Yeah hubby was just reading article and i was going to come out here and rant again about how I hate “reliable” sources that it’s happening. It implies he’s a Spurs reporter but we all know that really doesn’t mean anything. I just heard Stiles on 1140 like 20 minutes ago that things have come to a halt on the move so I guess just proves no one knows really for sure what’s going on. God what the news does to keep things rolling is unbelievable at best from both sides.
