I think the only reason Tyrese Haliburton’s Pacers seem substantially better (and better-led) than De’Aaron Fox’s Kings is that they play in the East.
Would love to get a video of you guys breaking down your top 10 players you want to be seen moved before the deadline
Logan’s brain is till in football mode drawing up these trades. Fox is worth at least 3-4 first maybe more with protections
Jalen Green is not trade eligible this year anyway and I don’t think that would be a trade Sacramento explores anyway
Vassell, Sochan and 3 picks.
I hate that rockets are even in talks for this trade, Fox is a borderline all-star with a very similar skillset to Jalen (Fox is def better just similar ways of playing) and the rockets are the 2 seed and are the team to beat currently, why would you change a thing
If I was the warriors I'd throw as much as I can towards obtaining Sabonis. He's not perfect but that would fix some of their problems and actually show steph that you want to win
Divac left them in the gutter when he snubbed Doncic in the draft
“a nice package with some young dudes” wow carson how inappropriate
First-time listwner here. The guy with a hat is so spot on about Fox! Very entertaining !
No fox in coyote 's place …
Just here for Carson's take.
3:07 ranting about mid haliburton, who sac chose foxx over was obviously the better choice… he’s damn near all nba and having a career year avg 25 a game … it’s not foxx fault Sacramento is poverty…
Just another wanna be media boys that decided to make a video because it’s a hot topic but knows nothing 😂 started off by comparing Hali and Fox. What is this 2020? Lmao Sabonis is clearly the better player than Hali, and the Kings had the choice. Trade Fox and not get a center? Because it wasn’t an option to trade Fox for Sabonis since pacers wanted Hali specifically. Then said the problem with Fox and brown, when literally FOX AND BROWN were the only ones that WERE ON THE SAME PAGE. They literally just went out to dinner last week. Maybe if u watch the games, the Kings net rating has been better without fox. Keon Ellis and monk has a triple better net rating than fox and any other back court. Sabonis is shooting 40+% from three. Sabonis literally has beeen better and never went through a slump, Hali gets worse and worse and blames an injury to why he’s not as good. Sabonis is literally a top 4 center in the league, u guys are slow
Getting demar is pointless 😂 when demar is on a cheap deal and still putting up 20+ PPG and shooting threes. Why would the Kings not build around Sabonis ? Tell me why? Name 4 centers better than Sabonis ? Matter fact name another center that can do what Sabonis does other than jokic? Don’t say Sengun because he’s still not putting up those numbers
So the only team in the league that has 4 starters averaging more than 20 PPG, with a bench averaging 8 points a game. The Kings have been winning, but it’s unsustainable. So who do u trade to get depth, as in length and bigger players than can contribute on both ends of the floor? How about trade the guy that has the most value rn , and the only guy that’s willing to get traded. U guys say a “demar and Sabonis lead team* do u know who malik monk is ? The guy that’s been doing better than Fox now that he has minutes, the guy that ALL ALONG has been a better duo than Fox and Sabonis? Yall be D -riding off the name istead of actually watching . Monk is the true point guard of this team , Keon has been a beast with the more mins he gets now, Carter has shown to be a 13 PPG rebounder if he was playing starter mins, but only had played 10 mins max a game. Keegan Murray is getting back to his himself. Heurter can also be traded to get depth. U guys are so slow and u guys think having this name is the only meaning to winning. Well how about Sabonis is the name. Look at the guys stats, AND shooting 40%+ from three leading the league and with 4 attempts a a game. Defensive rating 14 spots OVER BAM! the team doesn’t need Fox , the team needs depth. And if u actually watch games, monk is holding it down and has shown to be more consistent , a better IQ player, and a better shooter than Fox. The net rating is out the roof without Fox. With Fox it’s still a plus but barely. Do some research before u get on here, it’s not about beating the other media platforms to it. It’s about knowing ur shit!
Remind me how is Hali better than Sabonis? When Sabonis is literally getting better WHICH is crazy since he did put up MVP numbers last year, put the kings last year in the east and they will be in the same spot. ECF, that pacers team lead by Hali ain’t nun special all all 😂 most nights Tj McConnell look better than him
Kings been inept for years man. They have made bad move after bad move. You trippin.
Rockets
I think the kings could convince the lakers to take Sabonis. AD really wants a center, and you could get pretty good stuff for Sabo, maybe it would take a three-team deal cause I don't see anyone on the lakers that the kings really want.
Gotta teach Logan how to pronounce Sengun properly it’s gone on too long
Breaking News: Heard that Fox is going to the Heat with Trey Lyles for Rozier and Robinson and a future 1st rd pick.
And Kings plan to be moving on from Kevin Hurter most likely to the Jazz in a Collins deal.
It’s San Antonio (most likely) or miami
