If they announced a new 32 team play-off format next week, the Kings would somehow find a way to miss the play-offs. Obviously Sabonis for Fox was never on the table, but if Turner for Fox was the alternative to Sabonis for Haliburton, they should have done that deal. Fox on 30M is just a killer contract.
Haliburton
Hield
Barnes
Turner
Holmes
is probably a better team.
I saw that too. Imagine you're in the Kings FO and how much pressure there is to make the playoffs and this team STILL can't do it even though you just made a big "splash" trade.
Fox doesn't seem to be good enough to compete with the other number 1 options on the other 9 teams in the West. The Pelicans just have better role players and is a tossup depending on who gets hot.
That's the issue with the Kings. Their number 1 is better off being a number 2 (and an even better number 3), and Sabonis isn't good enough to lead a team in the West on his own. They should trade Fox to the Knicks for Barrett and find another cheaper point guard that's a distributor. A guy like Haliburton really fits well now thinking about it.... Well too bad there is no way a front office would ever be dumb enough to trade Tyrese Haliburton!
