TRADE FOX
Time to trade fox how many years no winning.its better for fox and sacramento
If Fox didn’t hurt his fingers in pre season the kings would have a winning record. That’s also why the kings should absolutely not trade him
I would be very surprised if Monte does not make a move to improve this team. He must be feeling it from multiple fronts, the fans, the coaching staff and his star player that has publicly stated he is waiting to see what the team does to help them win!
It would be nice to have a rim protector or taller 3 and D wing, but Whoever we add will most likely be coming off the bench. Will they be able to make a difference of course but our guys need to be better regardless. The starters can’t get off to embarrassing starts getting beat off back cuts. we are too talented to have the record we currently have.
Who is in the dominant position here? Is it the kings fans, who pay the money to these players, the owners, who own a lot of capital and don't want to lose money, the players labor union, who has been a league wide union of players, to the kings organization, or office. I just don't want to see the fans take the short end of the stick here which I believe traditionally they have had. Players earning boatloads of money or owners having boat loads of money is still boatloads of money, similar to the USS Central America, which had a boatload of gold–15 tones of it from the California gold rush. How many great players love to live in Sacramento? What is most important is the game of basketball here–thats what generates the interest in the game. But like all games, there are rules and there are those who play by the rules. The fans have stood up and delivered. So it's pay back. We want a good team.
Clutch// Under Armour. Draymond is recruiting 🦊. Brown knows 🦊 could be overlaping Curry. GSW owner spends for rings
Fox is untouchable, but Kegan Murray is not imo
I thought Coach Brown's message was clear. He knows what most all Kings fans know; Fox has the skill and talent to take this team to the next level. Great coaches challenge their best players to be better in order for the team to achieve new levels of success, so I was not surprised by his comments. With that being said, most successful teams in the league have a defensive presence and the ability to put small and big lineups on the floor at any given time; however, the Kings can only go small. We need better from the team, coach, gm, and ownership sooner rather than later because make no mistake, there is not a team on this PLANET who Fox would not be starting in the back court for. Nice episode Matt, thank you.
Lets be real fox HAS NOT taken that next level step in his game… with Murray it what it is hes a good starter rn cause he’s making 8 mill but at 25-30 mill i Will pass trade him asap while other teams still see value

Time for a cross team episode Locked on Rockets x Locked on Kings
Kings dont have a bench nor fit… thats why they have to trade lyles hureter draft compensation for 2-3 fit players I honestly think cam johnson and finney smith are a package deal
To Kings fan:
Fox and Huerter for Fred Vanvleet, Cam Whitmore or Jalen Green or Jabari Smith Jr + expiring contracts AND 2027 Nets 1st round pick swap
What do you say? Because the way it looks he is coming to Houston for free very soon. Dont forget he played ball in Houston before nba
Enjoyed this show gentlemen. Well done.
Size has nothing to do with how many wide open and undefended 3 pointers this team gives up. Still on team trade fox to a winning team that he wants to play on.
Hey Matt – love the show and listen every day! I live in Portland but will be back down in sac on Saturday – going to the game against Indy. Would it be possible to come say wassup to you at some point? No biggie if not 🙌🤝
#MONTENEEDSTOBEREPLACED ,I guarantee he doesn’t make any move than bringing in another Kessler Edwards. As the new GM I’m trying to bring in Naz Reid by trade.Fox is not a #1 player on a top contender,he’s a scorer that can’t handle the ball or direct an offense for his teammate’s to succeed.He averages 4 turnovers a game with only 6 assists,that’s horrible. Mentally he’s not a leader the team depicts his attitude which is why there an inconsistent team.He’s not Jalyn Brown but more of the Jayson Tatum which isn’t bad but he needs help directing a team,MONK and Sabonis aren’t the guys either,they’ve never won or experienced the playoffs.Vivek really needs to get together with his upper management and decide now if you even allow McNair to make any deals that possibly could hinder the Future(Fox’s contract and trade value).
No one wants to play for sac. We will have to over pay for anyone good.
This has been great insight Matt, thank you
