Buddy Hield is awful

Hali still looking like a franchise piece when the team plays without Fox, but this offense is garbage. I still think the Hali/Mitchell backcourt fits a bit more symmetrical, but I realize the results haven't been there consistently yet (Hali/Davion are young, they shouldn't be).

I wouldnt move Davion either, personally

Hali after this game will still be putting up well over 20/10+ without Fox this year. Which is tremendous stuff for a 2nd year 21 year old.

Haliburton is a different player when he is running the team. He defers to Fox too much.

I think he has shown franchise PG 'potential'. If Monte deems he has that, it will be interesting if he thinks the scoring Fox is a fit long term at the deadline with him, or if he concurs with me that the defense/all around play of Davion might be more suitable

Hali/Fox are going to be better now, because Fox is in his 5th year. This is a question for the future

Yep Hailburton is miles better as a player running the point than playing a 2nd guard role.

Harris is such a horrible contract. He has to be a non starter for the Kings in any deal. Can't afford to carry that dead weight.

Other than Bagley we dont have the expirings to give Philly anyways. It would need to be a three teamer

Both Bagley and Thompson are expiring... thats 21+ million combined

Weird thing to me is I can't count how many times I've seen fox pass him the ball and clear out for him.

The entire team seems to defer to Fox to much. Puts him and the team in a bad spot. No movement just clear out, that's bad basketball unless you have harden, curry, durant, lebron, or giannis.

This is something Hali is going to have to get better with. Regardless if it's Fox or whoever we trade Fox for, we are going to have to surround him with other scorers.

Need this mentality every night. But he's young so can definitely get there.
