Amick: De’Aaron Fox requests trade

[pdxKingsFan]

Hard to keep up. I sure hope not! What are you seeing on X?

non stop speculation but not one consistent story. Allen Stiles has offered nothing real but I think this is more likely the route:

The Kings are positioning themselves via a multi-team deal to acquire two impact players if they depart from De’Aaron Fox. They may settle with one + picks. But the current angle is two win-now players, per source.

I would think two player (who we probably won't be super hyped on but might push us into 5-6 territory if the drop from Fox isn't real) and two picks in the end.

 

[QWERTYLICIOUS]

Yeah. The shocking thing is that I didn't even know Robert Parish was still in the league! Welcome Chief!

We got the player rights to Pistol Pete?!

The haggle now is all around Wilt. Nobody can get a hold of him to waive his NTC.

Naaaaaah. Give us the player rights to Gheorghe Mureșan.

The most Kings thing would be to somehow end up with both Beal and Jimmy Butler from this deal.

I'm a little concerned about the backup center spot if all current reports are true though. Still a huge hole that we have yet to repair.

I think Spurs actually have the same issue but I'd really like their Collins if we get no prospects.

 

[Jones2006]

No way they are trading Fox for Bradley Beal and picks ... Has to be fake report/rumor. Even if it's the 4 best possibly Spurs picks that's terrible value considering at least 2 of them are for taking Beal & Keldon Johnson's contract

We still have Alex Len. An excellent player only missing playing time to prove useful.

 

[Elektrik]

If you want to know if a deal is imminent, just know I’m getting on a plane.

The people I feel the worst about are the kids who were born and then raised seeing Fox yank this stupid ass team out of the void and now panic traded. It didn't have to be this way.

This is their first heartbreak. @SacramentoKings

De’Aaron getting talked about with the reverence usually reserved for Kobe and Cleveland LeBron lol

it comes with the territory when you root for the Kings

 

[Joshyjosh31]

I think Zion is stupid and doesn't fit at all here but I will say it is semi interesting that yesterday he came out to say he would play 82 games but NOP won't let him. Who knows how true that is.

Who cares if he fits we’re not good enough to worry about fit and I can make a case he does fit. Monk/Zion pick and roll is unstoppable, if you run it with Sabonis then Zion would eat from the dunkers spot the same way Gordon does. Monk isn’t enough alone as a shot creator Zion adds to that bench Derozan for a 3-D guy

I see enough Len in the second quarter of recent games.

He’s just been misused for the last decade of his career!

I care a lot more about his ability to see the court.

It comes with the territory when you root for a small market team in general, actually.

 

[Tetsujin]

Hmmm. Listening to D-Lo and KC, I wonder if one of the other teams is the Bucks.

 

[SLAB]

Maybe we should start him and move Domas to PF.

 

[SLAB]

Hmmm. Listening to D-all and KC, I wonder if one of the other teams is the Bucks.

The corpse of Khris Middleton?

 

[Tetsujin]

The corpse of Khris Middleton?

He is a long wing!

 

[chief bromden]

If it's Portis and Middleton, we are screwed

 

[pdxKingsFan]

If it's Portis and Middleton, we are screwed

We're just having fun here, right folks?

Right folks?

 

[est.1999]

East coast team gonna be Detroit, watch

 

[SLAB]

Portis Middleton and picks from every other team in the whole trade.

 

[Caccia]

More than smoke from San Antonio:

But no Stephon Castle.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Detroit was rumored to possibly take on San Antonio's salary. Can we have Beef Stew if they are involved?

 

[Joshyjosh31]

This is where I hand in my badge and just watch Jokic only for the next five years

Funny thing is he’s suspended today on his bobblehead night lol

 

[pdxKingsFan]

For being a nasty player. Which is exactly what we could use. Hell let's keep Fox and put them one on one.

 

[Tetsujin]

Doesn’t sound like Zach LaVine is coming here

 

[Tetsujin]

Lmao Hamster has absolutely zero sources

 

[QWERTYLICIOUS]

Yeah, I posted about it earlier, over in the [NBA] Comments that don't warrant a thread (JAN) thread.

 

[TaxMan]

oh boy... I'm now hearing the smooth sounds of James Ham. How have I gotten here in my life?
