The De’Aaron Fox Trade Is Coming…

The Sacramento Kings have made their move - firing head coach Mike Brown and opening up the possibility of tearing down the roster and rebuilding - including trading De’Aaron Fox and others.

[@JusAObserver]

Letting Brown go was such a scapegoat. This team has been horribly managed. They have a bunch of shooting guards and their perimeter shooting is awful this year.

[@unclenumbs]

I see bad shooting as 99.9% a coaching problem

[@davyunwashington3613]

Having swing guard/foward wasn’t the problem signing demar and not getting 3/D wings was

[@randygraham926]

Brown is actually a pretty decent coach. So he's the scapegoat. They needed to get more rebounding and defense .... and signed DeMar. He's going to contribute on offense but not what they needed. Not really a Kings fan but they are some of the most loyal fans in the league and deserve better.

He wasn’t a scapegoat bro. They’re about to detonate the roster and rebuild so they fired the coach. Pay attention or watch the full video

[@aaronnilestoussaint5672]

no Mike was bad he allowed games to get away and did a bad job. The only thing I'll say to defend him is Sabs isnt that guy. He's a good 3rd or 4th Option but he isnt a elite player and even though he's tall he plays like a guard. Sabs cost them the series vs GSW he's awful.

[@flamingythermit314]

​@@BigA678I don't think it's a teardown I think it's more like "we're actively on a 5 game losing streak and have been struggling for a while because of your rotations and decisions". Granted, it's the kings we're talking about so Lord knows what they're actually thinking

Magic are a great fit for Fox. Gives them the offensive creator at guard they need and fits their defensive culture. They have extra picks, a variety of matching salary, young players to send back, and every team typically prefers to send their star player to the other conference.

Hot take: Fox's contract will be a bad contract in the near future. I see him as a John wall or Bradley Beal level of player. Good, but not quite number 1 option good, but your team had to give you a max because no other allstars were going to that team willingly

[@EJWZ0]

[@cormacmacaongusa]

Fox to the Magic would literally be perfect. Balance the conferences, incredible fit

[@cormacmacaongusa]

Trading 5 players for 1 completely ignores the fact that NBA teams have a roster limit.

[@WolfsDE]

I honestly would trade everyone possible from this current roster. Rebuild the entire thing. If the Nets wanted Fox, they could move Ben Simmons and his expiring deal, a few picks and 1 other player the Kings could build around. The Wizards are in the same boat with Jordan Poole. They could trade thier picks with Poole's contract and get Fox. The Nuggets, I am not sure how the money works or how it would be structured, I can see also wanting Fox and possibly moving Jamal Murray to do it. I definitely see the Spurs in on Fox. I also see the Utah Jazz being in on Fox. I can see the Miami Heat wanting Fox for themselves. That maybe pairing Butler, Bam and Fox together gives them the best chance at a title. Or moving Jimmy Butler to get Fox they might see as the answer. Again, I don't know how the money would work with the new rules, but I can see a lot of teams wanting to get Fox and having the assets to do so.

[@justmyopinion8395]

This is a championship caliber roster with Kerr.

[@Peanutdenver]

I cant see the Nuggets giving up MPJ for Butler. Denver has a problem with a struggling Jamal Murray and Christian Braun who has also been playing poorly the last few weeks. MPJ is Denver's 2nd scoring option right now, plus his size and spacing is a bonus. Porter is also their only 3 point threat as a catch and shoot dude....Joker is the only other player hitting 3s with regularity along with carrying the team on his back.

Hey man, I left a like and overall I enjoyed the video. But I just had to come and comment, because I’ve been a viewer for a while and I know that your takes are generally good, but I think this one is off. Fox is the franchise player, and you don’t fire a head coach and trade your franchise player if you’re competing for a playoff spot, which they obviously want to since brown is gone. none of these trades have really been convincing. Pat riley said he’s not trading Jimmy, and I believe him, he would let him walk in free agency before moving him. Spurs and Warriors get better, Kings get worse, no matter what. The Kings arent going to be doing their western rivals any favors. No trades are happening, this team is what it is and are going to attempt to compete for the chip.
