I would trade Reed, Amen, Steven Adams' contract, and one 1st for Fox: PG: Fox / VanVleet / Holiday SG: Green / Whitmore SF: Brooks / Tate PF: Smith / Eason / Uncle Jeff C: Sengun / Landale I feel like we'll have to pick between Amen, Tari, and Jabari at some point - I picked Amen since he'd probably have the most value to the Kings given how long he's under contract. Regardless, Fred's running on fumes and Fox is a much better fit. Maybe we resign Fred for the MLE and keep him at 18-20 minutes a night.
Would really suck if the Spurs paired him with Wemby, I think they can put forth a better offer than the Rockets with a Castle centered package. I don't think we should get Fox if it means giving up Amen or Sengun.
The best case scenario for Amen is Shawn Marion - that doesn't scream "untouchable" to me. Last night he played 23 minutes in a tight game even though Tari was out and Fred couldn't throw it in the ocean - that doesn't scream "indispensable" to me. Amen is very good but he's the 6th man on a team that doesn't have a single all-star - let's not overvalue him.
Trade Amem is crazy talk You put Jalen + picks. Maybe sell high on Tari with Jalen and keepsome picks Tari seems a little injury prone and the terror twins doesn’t work if he’s always hurt
I agree. If Fox hits the trade market then the Kings will get competitive offers and it will take actual assets. Green, Tari, + contracts + picks for Fox and Huerter Maybe we can keep our best pick(s) if we take back Huerter's contract and hope his shot can bounce back in a new home.
I see Fox as a block to Amen being our starting PG. I believe Amen is the future superstar we have been praying for. I want him on that road now, not 2 or 3 years from now. He won't reach his potential as a SF or paired with another poor 3 pt shooter. I also think we need to evaluate Amen/Jalen as a backcourt and do it now, to advise our off-season. I am still hopeful he is untouchable.
3 Frp's for 1 1/2 years of Fox is a massive overpay. He wants over 50M year to re-sign. Fox is not a 50m player. I'm starting to think that Booker isn't worth it either. We should start experimenting with Amen and Jalen as a backcourt to inform our decisions this off-season. We could also experiment with Jalen off the bench to see if that would unleash him. Ime will never bench a healthy FVV, but man it would be nice to cut his minutes down to 25-28.
Shawn Marion, LOL, Amen is a 6th man, because Ime is a believer in acquiesence to his vets. Shawn Marion was a very good player, but Amen is a budding superstar. If he was starting all year, like he should have been, he would be right there with Wemby for DPOY.
