Fox IMO is probably fabricating an injury heading into the trade deadline because..?

1. He doesn't want to play bad, and give more reason to be traded
2. wants to scare off suitors
3. There is pressure on him to perform given more people will be watching

what else?

He was told the franchise is looking to trade him so he is sitting out because why risk injuring yourself for a team who wants to deal you? That or he's in his feelings about being shopped

Or, and this might be crazy. Hes actually injured. lol

I can't imagine a single player who wouldn't welcome a trade out of this hell hole. Really hard for me to believe someone wants to stay.

True.

It's just odd the way local media members are presenting this injury as fake without saying so. That's the driver here not us fans.

Haliburton's playmaking ability opens up the offense even with this poor offensive line up

I think its extreme timing. Coming into the deadline, nothing happened the previous game, nothing on MRI..

I think he does want to be here. His agent came out and said the Kings "told them" they were building around them to scare off suitors IMO. He has had love for the community for a long time

OKC rested everyone. Blatantly tanked the game.

Something the kings should be doing. Here's the last stretch of 25 or so games where we do enough to drag our way to the 11th seed. meanwhile teams like okc, Houston, Detroit, Indiana, Portland, SA, Orlando all out tank to secure draft spits.

I think its pretty obvious at the moment its about Buddy/Bagley. These guys don't want to be here and Fox (and other do) so he (and others) want them gone and he is putting pressure on Monte. They should have already been gone. We all know that. I'm not blaming Monte, but if it has got to this point, Fox (and others) have already made their concerns known.

1 Championship out of 44 years between them too. And that 1 was as a #4-5 guy. Just sayin. Love Tyrese, but let's not get too high or too low. Same as with the other young guys.
