Trading Fox? Follow the rules...!

[Daddy 801]

Kings get Davis
Kings give Fox
Kings add Davis defense next to Sabonis
Monk, Ellis, DeMar, Davis, Sabonis -- Carter, Huerter, Murray, Lyles, Len

Lakers get Fox, Kessler
Lakers give Davis, JHS, LAL27FRP(unprotect existing top 4), LAL29FRP
Lakers switch to Fox, Reaves, DFS, LeBron, Kessler -- Christie, Knecht, Rui, Vando, Wood
Younger and more sustained competing long term.

Jazz get JHS, LAL27FRP(unprotect existing top 4), LAL29FRP(top 10 protected)
Jazz give Kessler
Picks package for Kessler with an expiring JHS who they had interest in.

Kings aren't getting AD for Fox.

While it fits the rules of the trade parameters. I don't think the Kings would want to make that deal.

Jazz would pass as well.

Bam and Butler for Fox, Huerter, and DeRozen.

Not a fan of either team and have no idea no idea who is supposedly giving picks, but I think it falls within the rules and Butler is on the trading block. Bam and Sabonis don’t feel like a good fit to me, but whatever. Maybe Sac trades Sabonis as well.

Think any Fox to Miami trade would be to get Bam and Fox together again. And Miami isn't trading Bam IMO anway.

Maybe something this summer like:

Minnesota: Fox
Sac: Extended Naz Reid + McDaniels + Dillingham
Washington: Huerter + 3 2nds from SAC

Sabonis/2025 1st
Naz Reid/DeMar
Murray/McDaniels
Monk/Ellis
Dillingham/Carter

Plan is probably to wait until Demar is expiring and move him and picks for someone better and younger in Sabonis' final prime years.

and Wolves save enough money to keep NAW and stay under the 2nd apron, though not the first. Have to get lucky on a minimum center playing 15 minutes a night (or move DDV for one since Edwards will play 40 a night a the 2 in the playoffs and Shannon or a shooter off the street can cover 8 minutes if you can't afford to slid NAW there due to the lack of SF depth), but they have the best guard combo in the league, Gobert at the rim, 2 competent starting forwards and DDV on the bench.

Gobert - (Minimum)
Randle- Minott or Miller
NAW - DDV
Edwards - DDV
Fox - Conley

or if DDV is dealt for say Goga Bitadze as an example because Orlando needs shooting and Gobert will age slower if he's playing less minutes:

Gobert - Bitadze
Randle- Miller
NAW - Minott
Edwards - Shannon
Fox - Conley

Very young bench, but those young guys have some promise and Conley might be okay for one final year if he's playing 12 minutes a night only against backups. Good draft year, so maybe a couple undrafted free agents isn't the end of the world, teams like Tennessee, Auburn and Houston are all top 5 and have competent undrafted guys who play D and can hit a 3, might not kill you playing 15 minutes a night when someone is injured.

I would do this. Think it would make the Kings one of the best defensive teams in the L.

Sabonis/Reid
McDaniels/Lyles (resigned)
Murray/DDR
Ellis/Carter
Monk/Dillingham

Reid plays backup to the 5/4 to get around 28mpg. Murray and McDaniels rock paper scissors for nightly match ups and the guards of Monk/Keon/DDR/Carter/Dillingham has a good blend of D and O.

If Sacramento is down, I think Minnesota should be, assuming Fox say he'll sign an extension. Minny needs a PG and Fox-Edwards-Gobert should be a very strong trio, and there's still DDV, NAW if they can keep him. Maybe Randle can be moved for someone on a longer, slightly cheaper deal when he's expiring who's more of a defensive presence. It's easier to find/sign the next Naji Marshall/Derrick JonesJr/Finney Smith types Dallas has around their backcourt talent than it is to materialize a quality PG out of nowhere, and Fox and Edwards might make a decent bench forward look like an okay starter.
