Well, might as well not torture the poor kid. We’ll relieve Philly of his whining for the fair compensation of Buddy Hield, Bags, and pick

It’s not going to be Buddy and Bagley nor should it be. Buddy is a player you want to keep around Ben.
I think a better question is if you are gong to trade one of: Fox, Mitchell, or Haliburton which one do you trade?
From the limited I have seen for me it’s Fox. Not because I hate Fox, but because Fox’s elite skill meshes poorly with Ben.
Mitchell’s elite skill is penetration defense:
This meshes well with Simmons as his one defensive weakness is smaller quicker guards. With Mitchell and Ben you would have an A+ defensive stopper for any player except perhaps Jokic. Both players also play strong help defense and could let Buddy do his thing.
Haliburton’s elite skill is court vision:
Sometimes with elite vision you see the pass that leads to the pass. Simmons has the same kind of vision. He and Hali would be able to facilitate an incredible ability to move the ball and see the open man.
Fox’s elite skill is dribble penetration:
This skill meshes poorly with Ben because as a non-shooter, Ben’s man will sag off and help slow down Fox’s dribble penetration. A good shooting 3 or someone like Bradley Beal who could catch and shoot 3’s when Fox collapses the defense is the fit with Fox. Ben is the opposite of that type of player.

I don't think so. I don't like having a glutton of people on the team that are/were primary ball handler(s). Adding Haliburton to the mix of Fox and Buddy is about as far as I want to go with this (besides Mitchell) How could we possibly play Haliburton, Fox and Simmons at the same time? That would make for a useless Hali or Simmons. You see teams that have less talented players one vs one, but that are 20+ wins better than us right? We can't start putting mismatched pieces in there just because they are great players.
I guess we can stop wondering (for the time being) and concentrate on what we have going forward. Our team, as is, is growing on me and hope regular season is somewhat similar to what we’re seeing in summer league and preseason. Now how do we get all the other teams to rest their top 2 players every time they play us?
I'm very jazzed by the work Monte has done, from drafting Mitchell to re-upping Richaun, from continuing to restock the bench to bringing in Christie and Longabardi. From what I've read about Longabardi he enjoys a strong rep as a defensive coach and certainly has been around for a while.
Throw in the work Fox and Hali have done to get stronger and I fully expect the Kings at least to be an average defensive team this year, which will pave their way into the top-8.

yup people trippin if they think Monte isn’t doing a good job. We literally have a lineup of 10-11 NBA players that would at least be in a rotation on most teams. Yeah we didn’t get any wings but they’re the most coveted position right now and is hella difficult to acquire. So far he’s done the best of any GM we’ve had in a longggggg while
Fox has literally said that he’s always had the ball in his hands and playing with Haliburton has been great cause he’s finally learning how to play off-ball. We ain’t getting rid of that duo. We gonna keep the 3 guards and the Simmons trade ain’t happening just stop with that trash lol

We've said we wanted him back but we've also leaked out every horrific accusation you can about the guy and called him soft. And offered him to every team under the sun, but we wanted him back which you can verify because we had the most over inflated valuation of all time so it was never really open for discussion, we were just humoring y'all. But here is another leak about what a bum he is.
Cool story, bro.
