De'Aaron Fox's trade proposal should convince the Sacramento Kings to blow up their roster now, not later, for one obvious reason.
As the Kings enter the playoff race, the exceptional play of both Domantas Sabonis and De'Aaron Fox should be recognized. Both of them are having the best seasons of their career, although the West is loaded with talent. When picking between the two, one has a clear advantage.
Sabonis registered his eighth triple-double of the season Wednesday, but his 13 points were just two shy of a season low set during the Nov. 13 win over Phoenix. Over his last 10 games, the star big man has averaged 21.
The NBA trade deadline has a new name and new teams. Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox would prefer to go to the San Antonio Spurs via a trade if he were dealt. The news comes from James Ham of ESPN 1320 in Sacramento. After Kings head coach Mike Brown was fired, it might be time for the franchise to try and rebuild.
Sabonis has been playing off the charts the past two seasons, but this year has taken his offensive game to another level. While Sabonis has shown he can dominate a game similar t
Star, might not want to stick around to see what a post-Fox era looks like if the Kings trade their star guard.
Assuming the Kings don't get an All-Star-level player in return for Fox, their current roster construction could begin to tumble. The Kings are built around Fox's speed and the playmaking ability of Domantas Sabonis. Without Fox pushing the tempo, the Kings rotation could quickly falter.
Domantas Sabonis had 21 points, 22 rebounds and 10 assists in his seventh triple-double of the season, De’Aaron Fox scored 30 points and the Sacramento Kings beat the Brooklyn Nets 110-93 on Monday night.
Fox has been downgraded to questionable for Saturday's road matchup with the Knicks with a thumb injury. Fox has been dealing with a pinky injury all season, so a new thumb injury could be a serious concern. Saturday's matchup against the Knicks, who are 29-16 on the season, will be a huge test for the Kings and could certainly use Fox's help.
Domantas Sabonis had a double-double by halftime, De'Aaron Fox finished with one of his own and the Sacramento Kings rolled to a comfortable 123-100 home win over the Washington Wizards on Sunday night.
The Philadelphia 76ers are trending in the right direction, but they could have their hands full with Domantas Sabonis and the visiting Sacramento Kings when the teams square off Wednesday.
