You should visit NBA Trade Deadline Mega Trade 2005.

NBA fans are the most on the ledge fans of any sport, lol. If you can't handle the heat, get out of the kitchen. It's funny, some of these people couldn't possibly have been through the tail end of the Petrie years right?

Hopefully he gets a chance. He's a rotation level player in the NBA his problem here is it was at one position and Fox hadn't totally bailed yet.

I would take Ice Trae. Gifted playmaker, clutch shooter and elite rim protector (ask Ben Simmons). Talent is talent.

Fox just insulting everyone’s intelligence. Got everything he wanted but is still mad that Sac folks are pissed at him.

I still like Fox, (and if the primary reason he forced his way out is because he didn't believe we have enough talent to compete, I basically agree with him)
But now that he's no longer on the Kings, I'm all for provoking him into saying something interesting.

Fox really is in no position to be saying anything negative about Sacramento, not its fans, the organization, or his teammates. I don’t even live there, have never even visited once, but the team did right by him in every scenario. We gave him a supporting cast that pushed the previous champs to 7 games, got one of his best friends on the team, traded Hali for Domas (2 wins right there for Fox), the fans adored him and rooted for him through thick and thin. And even after all that he did recently, admitting to texting Spurs players about a trade before it was even finalized, having a preferred destination but denying wanting out, and a slew of other things, we still gave him his wish and sent him to the Spurs. We didn’t need to do that, but we did.
If there should be any thoughts or emotions coming out of Fox, it should be of gratitude and appreciation. If he didn’t believe in the direction of the team, it’s because he couldn’t steer us in the right direction, as the so called leader of the team. Don’t blame your old teammates for your own failures. You quit on them. You failed them.
I absolutely hate players that do this, take cheap shots at teammates, the organization, and fans and pretend they weren’t to blame for at least a portion of it. I hope Fox gets traded from the Spurs to the Washington Wizards for 50 cents on the dollar. What a loser. Good riddance

Fox would be well-served by deleting any and all social media accounts.

Lol at those of you thinking this isn't and hasn't been a completely inept and dysfunctional organization for over 15 years because of one season of making the playoffs. You're grievances with fox are misguided. Vivek and Matina stink and their stink is all over this franchise.

Nice to see you after 2.5 years.

It's been dysfunction outside most of the Adelman years and Mike Brown's playoff season. Makes every victory that much sweeter

I couldn't be happier seeing Fox go.
The guy simply does not play winning basketball. He is a terrible leader and a selfish player. He only played defense when he felt like it (which was almost never). The Kings have actually been much better without him, with Monk running the point and Ellis bringing elite defense—something Fox never cared to do.
And after everything the Kings did for him—passing on Luka to build around him, trading Haliburton to keep him, making him the face of the franchise—how does he repay them? By demanding a trade at the worst possible time, limiting the team’s options to just one destination.
We'll see how he does in San Antonio. If they ever become a contender, I don’t see him being more than their third option.
Kudos to Monte and the organization for the trade. Bringing in LaVine, Valančiūnas, and all those draft picks under these circumstances was a fantastic move. We’re going to be a much better team now.

Fox has gone back and deleted his tweets about dysfunction and his back and forth with Damien.
