Amick: De’Aaron Fox requests trade
- Thread starter Tetsujin
- Start date
I’ve been a big Fox fan, but trading him would probably be the best way to balance our roster. Fox always had issues with being locked in, you would question if his heart was in it, can’t really say that about any other supermax player.
The good thing with Monk as the lead guard, you never have to question if he is giving it his all. He will always be 100% locked in. He may not be as talented as Fox, but he is a pretty good player maker with near elite vision and amazing chemistry with Domas, hyper athletic as well, and a really good three point shooter.
if trading Fox gets us starting big next to Sabonis with someone that can come off the bench too, I think we would be a better team.
Someone posted earlier Fox for Collins/Castle/Sochan, and I wouldn’t hate that. Probably too much to give up for Spurs though. A Sochan and Murray defense, that can guard 1-4, is pretty interesting.

This is so weird to be honest... he's deciding which single team he would like to be traded to if he gets traded otherwise he'll stay in sac? Why would he need to decide between SA and Miami? Why not just say he'd prefer one but open to either.... a lot of this is likely media running crazy with rumors.
I think that ship has likely sailed until we win on a higher level. I’m not necessarily advocating for Lavine but DLo said the kings have some level of interest in him. If you can move deebo to the Spurs with Fox they could send Vessell to the Bulls. We could still make a trade for Cam
Monk Devin
Lavine Keon
Cam
Keegan
Sabonis
some bench pieces prob coming back from the Spurs
Get your swap back and have at least one or Two extras first rounders to play with after a cam trade

Too much for the Spurs? I'd demand at least that AND some FRPs.
Honestly the Spurs don't have anything I want (beyond Wemby of course) so I think there would have to be a lot of draft capital involved.
Castle and Sochan can't shoot. They also can't play together. Their on/off splits when they share the court are abysmal. No thank you.

If the Kings trade Fox it finally opens up a starting spot for Keon - who still has absurd advanced metrics that scream that he needs court time. I'd rather keep DDR than trade for LaVine. That seems like a lateral move that costs assets and reputation to make.
Full disclaimer: I also just don't like LaVine's game at ALL. Combine that with the salary and injury risk and it's a big no from me. Besides, the time to trade for LaVine was last season when he was pretty much viewed as a negative asset due to his albatross of a deal. Now Chicago will want actual pieces for him. No thanks.

I hope it’s not all about money, but, whatever this is about, it really sours me on him. This is the best team he’s had his entire career, and instead of giving us one shot at the playoffs he’s pushing out now?
Honestly smacks of fear that a deep run will make it harder for him to ask out. And maybe a thought that going somewhere like the Spurs and getting better coverage ups his odds of all-NBA super max
Most times I don’t fault players or teams for wanting to move on, but for someone making $32mm per with $165mm guaranteed any time he wants, and a friend playing with him on a discount deal, it it’s like - really??? There’s nothing in the world he can’t afford and that’s what matters to him anyways. Good luck out there.
