Welcome Zach LaVine!
- Thread starter whitechocolate
- Start date
Even after the bomb dropped on DLo's show there were whispers that San Antonio is preferred but there's really 4 teams he'd accept but the tier 2 "insiders" (ie the guys directly below Shams) in the national twitter game all said that Klutch told any team that inquired he would not re-sign. Period.
If true it puts him in a pretty select group of players to have pulled off and I am not sure Fox is on the level of AD in NOP or Kareem (before FA!) or I guess Harden? Not sure who else has ever had a one team list and got their way. Dame sure didn't. And he's definitely a few notches above Fox.

I really could care less about basketball shoes, but something about Fox wearing a "Steph Curry" branded shoe just bothered me. Join Under Armour with a shoe in the same general family as Curry, fine. But having your signature line under Curry's line seemed weird. Yes, I understand Nike Jordan's have a whole family of shoes with current NBA players, but that's different. Jordan isn't playing anymore and he's definitely NOT on your closest rival in the NBA.

Yeaaaah, this is quickly shaping up to be one of those "You can't play real basketball like you do 2K". In a perfect world, does a Cam Johnson type make more sense than DDR? Sure. But especially in a season with so much turmoil off the floor, I think trading DDR now would just wreck this team. It's looking we're adding a serious chemistry piece, a better fit offensively, etc. Ride it out this year and readjust after you figure out the coach.
Yeah, I think it has to be Jval. I'm pretty convinced on it. He solves a lot of your bench scoring issues and he finally gives us an option to keep pace with Domas off the floor.
In terms of the back-up wing, get one of these young guys the opportunity to go win the job. Colby, Cissoko, Icraw, Ijones. I Jones has given us flashes this year so far, see if he can continue to build on it.

Agreed on all counts. The only reason I was considering possible deals for DeRozan was if he really was reconsidering wanting to be in Sacramento. If so, you find him the best landing place you can while getting back players that fit a bit better. But if he wants to be here still? Then you hope he and LaVine take the approach that they have unfinished business and find the success with the Kings that they weren't able to (in large part due to LaVine's injuries) in Chicago.
It's not a great fit. But it can work. One key is for Monte to get a solid backup center and/or a backup wing. Those are clear holes that need to be plugged for the Kings to survive the bumps and bruises of the regular season. Not to mention this team desperately needing bench scoring.

What sometimes gets lost in the shuffle with him is that him and Domas know one another pretty well, improving chemistry even further. This is Domas’s team now and if Domas endorses him, then the rest of the team will fall in line.
I really hope we get him. Makes so much sense that it would be a gut punch to see him land elsewhere.

Yep.. Fox eventually proved he was a crap leader. Along with stuff like you mentioned, one thing I always found annoying was when he wouldnt address the media during tough stretches last year. You could almost guarentee he was the guy doing the post game presser when things were going well but Keon, Kev, HB when it was bad.
He ultimaly proved he was as hard as anyone to build a team around

Is this the first presser since before the Detroit game? I imagine the bloodthirsty podbros will want to pepper Monte and anyone else there with questions about the Brown firing and Doug's situation and you know, if they knew Fox was gonna be gone a month later it maybe was easiest to just do it all at once with one "ask us anything presser" after introducing LaVine.
Although it would actually be nice if it was Zach LaVine day I think we all know it won't be.
