Luka/Dearon Fox 

Post#1 » by Bklynborn682 » Sat Oct 8, 2022 3:44 pm

How would you imagine the fit being if Luka was drafted by Sacramento and shared the back court with Fox?
Would this be similar to luka/Brunson or would the kings incompetence mess them up.

There would be a lot of redundancy between them, but with Buddy, a 3&D big wing and a stretch 5, they could be on par with last Mavericks.
Defense wins draft lotteries!

If Sacramento had drafted Luka as they should have, Fox becomes an afterthought and all considerations go through what best works for and with Luka. Fox is a complete irrelevance here as he’s not part of any team’s long term winning goals.

Probably this. He also doesn’t defend, so there doesn’t seem to be a spot for him.

A top 40 player (maybe) that fits extremely badly with your top 5 young star? Yeah, this is the answer.
This place is a cesspool of mindless ineptitude, mental decrepitude, and intellectual lassitude. I refuse to be sucked any deeper into this whirlpool of groupthink sewage. My opinions have been expressed. I'm going to go take a shower.

DSJ failed bad on other teams after getting traded from Mavericks. So that's a bad comparison imho!
