He would be the closest thing Thibs would have since Young D Rose attacking wise at the rim.

Fox is a godsend for this team. We would be lucky as hell to have him.

They can shoot.

Would you rather have a young point guard who can give you 20 and 8 or Burks at pg

People being mad picky. And if we being honest, having a PG that can shoot doesnt really solve all of our problems. Jose Calderon could shoot… what did he do for us? We need a damn playmaker to make things easier for Randle and others… plus someone who can score. Fox checks those boxes.

Fox doesn't solve our issues and creates more issues. Fox still struggles in the half court, doesn't play well off the ball, can't shoot, and doesn't play defense. Sure he's fast and gets to the rim, can score....but what else?

we get a great scorer and playmaker. And he’s capable of playing defense.

Jose Calderon could shoot and played off the ball… he was still ass

Sacramento asking for an all star in return for Fox. Sabonis is mentioned as a player they like. So....looking at our roster...we can offer Randle. Does that help? Would they(or any team) consider Randle plus assets in a trade?

I don't even know that much about Fox and I would be all in for Randle plus some assets for Fox.

The trade block is heating up. We need to get in the discussion.

Maybe they’ll take rose he’s got the most all star votes on the team and might help them sell a ticket over there for 40 games a season

They don't need another PG. Rose is old and hurt. Just suck it up. We're talking about shipping out your boy Randle for Fox. Do you think they would consider him? I mean...you have been trying to sell him in here for months. :lol: You should think that Sacramento would take him if they're looking at Sabonis.

I’m sure Rose called Sac about their asking price for Fox. We probably already having discussions but it hasn’t been leaked to the media yet.

Sabonis rep is much better around the league than Randle and also he is owed significantly less money. There is only two years left on his contract after this. Kings have been notoriously cheap as owners. Even tho they can shed a few Million if they trade for Randle, it does not save them as much money if they trade for Sabonis. Our Only Hope would be picks add and young players to entice them which still prob is a pipe dream since they seem to already know what they want back....
