    I agree with you but the Rox didnt pish themselves into a corner. In fact Stone extended the window on those picks. He turned 1 pick and 1 swap into 2 picks and 2 swaps.

    Kings GM came from the Morey tree so he’s definitely gonna want Reed and Tari.

    Not yet. Many expect him to. This discussion is purely about the merits of trading for him.

    Elite enough for his team that he leads to suck. If he's so great why does his team always suck? The proof is in the pudding. you can cry about true shooting all you want if we get another 1- 10 nightly 3 point shooter it will ruin us.

    Jokic, shai, tatum, giannis, wemby, luka, franz, paolo, j. williams, brunson, ball, mitchell, hali, ant, maxey, booker, chet, trae, mobley, garland are some. Some of the guys better than fox are too old, like jimmy, davis, steph, dame, etc.

    IF you could trade for Fox with FVV, Cam, Reed, picks etc you still have ammo with Green, Tari and picks for Booker or even ANT.

    Try and hold onto Green and give up HOU picks not the PHX ones.

    Fox
    Booker
    Amen
    Bari
    Sengun

    Gonna speak this **** into existence.

    Its happening, doubt they'll wait until the off-season, when his value will drop more. Its us or the Spurs that make the most sense, Spurs will probably offer more than us, but him being from Houston might have a say in it.

    This is also something that i think could be pretty interesting from a roster standpoint. Looking at the money, in 26-27 (when fox's max kicks in), the cap will be about 170 mil and the 2nd apron around 229 mil.

    Estimated % of the cap each starter takes up:
    Fox - 30%
    Booker - 33.5%
    Amen - 20% (low estimate)
    Bari - 15% (super low estimate)
    Sengun - 21%

    That's a total of 120% of the cap, which puts the starting lineup at 204 million, which leaves about 25 million for the other 8 spots assuming my math and numbers are accurate.
