It’s starting to feel like the argument is Fox is potentially just as good as any all star player but the situation has held him back. Mitchell, Booker, Lavine? Of course situation matters, but there is not a GM in the league that would consider swapping Fox for any of those players, and I would imagine they all generally understand he’s been in a bad situation in Sac. The reality is, for all of his strengths, Fox has some serious flaws in his game that have not sorted themselves out in a half decade. Those constant flaws (lack of shooting, ok playmaking, uninspired defense) are what they are at this point and the league knows it. Does that make him a bad player? Of course not, but you’re not fetching an all star for him. Getting Ingram is a pipe dream unless significant draft capital is included by sac (I would gladly eat my words if that is not the case). I would not love a fox/randle swap, but it absolutely is realistic value.
