Is Phoenix THAT much better than Sacramento?I am not quite sure Durant would agree to come to Sacramento. But it would be cool, to say the very least. I just don't see it happening.

I don’t hate the idea of gambling on Zion for cheap. The problem is the fit with Sabonis. The defense would be bad, then the spacing on offense would be another issue.
Having wings and prioritizing them are two different things also. Hardly any teams are out there running the "wings" they are talking about to that level. This is also partly looking at the holes on the roster as a reasoning, yet ignoring the same results when the Kings are playing big. The C's only rely on two wings and that's their stars. They have a switchable guard core and they're the bar right now. The Nuggets have basically 1 since Aaron Gordon is far more playmaking PF. OG is another unique one in NY, those aren't typically what you can find lying around hence why OG had so much interest for years. Only so many of those players exist. And the one super "wing" team in New Orleans is on the verge of going bust, so what about results? The Cavs arguably don't even play a single true "wing". Okoro is more of a SG/SF. If you go by some of the best teams you want a 2/3 or 3/2, not a 3/4 or 4/3. That's the new thing. It's actually been trending that way for awhile now. I guess it all comes down to what people think DeRozan is, sorry, he's been a SF/PF for a number of years now. Kind of like what Vince Carter and even Jordan eventually transitioned to as they lost a step athletically.
because to draft them you have to tank or stretch. Monte doesn’t do either
Nuggets have Gordon, MPJ, Strawther, and Watson
Cavs example is just wild when you know they have Allen and Mobley in the front court
Every successful team has wings I guess we can keep doing this combo guard bull crap and stay struggling in the play ins
I don't think we need a full blow up but let’s get a bidding war going for Fox already. I'm off the bandwagon! Most talented loser we've had since Big Cuz.
Big Cuz wins a playoff series with the team Fox has around him.
If we move Fox, why?Moving Derozan unfortunately is going to have to be a priority.
If we move Fox, why?
He might have to come off the bench, but he can be useful in the 4th with no Fox.
I would think it depends on whether or not we re-tool or rebuild.
If we retool, we could still be fairly competitive with what we get for Fox + Domas/DDR/Monk/Keegan
If we go scorched earth commit to a full rebuild then I reckon nobody is untouchable on this roster.
If Fox is moved, I think we go the retool route. A young piece and pick package, and we hand over the starting PG to Monk. Higher usg for Monk and DDR may benefit both of those guys and we may not even see a drop as an offensive team.
Trade Fox. **** him
We need a lot of help for that to happen, unfortunately. Some teams have been tanking since day 1. I think the more likely response is to retool in the hopes of getting this current team into the playoffs. Not sure what that looks like right now.Curious if regardless of trades, have we guaranteed our place in the Cooper Flagg sweepstake?
Fox maybe gone sooner or later in which case we should get a good haul for him, plus our own draft pic in a good draft.
If whats left of the current team buys in we could be good in little time.
I know most here are in favor of trading Fox at this point but I’m curious how Monk feels about this entire scenario?
Perhaps his love for the city of Sacramento and having the opportunity to be a starting lead guard (assuming Fox is traded) is attractive enough for him to be happy staying on the Kings, but part of me is interested in looking for trades that would send both Fox and Monk out together. Would it be possible to find an upgrade to Fox by sweetening that package by adding Monk (and picks if need be).
- Monk seemed to like Brown and resigned on an affordable deal knowing Brown was extended. Does he want to stick around now that Brown is gone?
- Monk is obviously best friends with Fox and resigned on an affordable deal knowing he would be playing with him for at least a couple years. Does he want to stick around if the Kings decide to trade his best friend (Fox)?
Kings have “zero interest” in trading Fox at the deadline
