Matt, this is your best title yet, and it definitely fit what have best described the Kings. All talk, no action! Us fans are tired of this because we know they can do better.
It’s time for Monte McVest, MB and Fox to go. Time to retool by trading Fox for as many assets as possible. Make Doug head coach.
Shameful and gutless. The Kings should have felt embarrassed about wearing that jersey last night.
It’s time to tear down this mess. Start over. This core has gone as far as it can. Everyone would be better off with a fresh start.
I hope now all fans realized that FOX is what holding us back. He is an amazing player but not the type or leader that can bring this team up higher. He is NOT a supermax at all
Trade Fox
Superstars close out games, dominate @home. Send Fox home to New Orleans. Allow Carter as PG to develop. Brown stop forcing a natural 2 guard keegan @4. Andrew Wiggens// HB approves this mssg 🤪
Derozan is the guy to move as the main asset in a trade. It was an interesting experiment but it’s just not working.
Trade Fox for all you can get and keep the rest of the core. It needs to happen. Devin Carter is gonna take that spot eventually, anyway!
Your question to Mike was quite disrespectful, you are hired to cover the team not a crazy fan. No other Locked on Guy behaves that nonchalant
GG, go next season
Think about the following Matt:
If they do well for the rest of this 9 games and win 6 or more, then the front office will say: we believe in the guys thus they dont make any big trades at the break. So maybe, just maybe if Fox is playing 80% and they still under .500 he can provoke the front office to do something. And if he doesnt see an improved roster he is for sure not signing an extension.
In my opinion is up to Fox to put pressure on the front office as a leader. How he chooses it to do it is his own decission
He can either try to score 30-35-40 a game every night and just play no matter what or he can say: the FOffice is not adding valuable pieces so I am not adding more than I am at the moment. I hope he picks the first one. That way it is a win win for him as well as the team. He wins more value and respect and he can decide to go or to stay. And the team will win some games plus the fans are going to be happier.
Take care 😉
ps. Let's go Sasha (Vezenkov)🥳 Doing amazing in Europe, again
I think this game on Saturday will really determine how this season will go
I don't like Fox going to podcasts and talking about the team and organization and not leading the team on and off the court. So, therefore, I'm trading him and not giving him the max.
29:31 How do you know that trading Fox won't result in something better for the team?
Been a Kings fan since the late 90s. I'm done with this season… And I'm very close to being done with the team… 😢
King's announcers are cringy subpar downers and it should be addressed. They are not kings fans at all> you are a superfan and it seems like you could tell the difference …the bad energy is stagnant/ idiotic verbiage with kayte and either one of the weirdos she sits with
GREAT show Matt…you really bring the intelligence and the passion…ty
This season is over. 😥
Lakers pistons pacers 3-0 or bust… this team might be better without fox or Keegan trade one of them
Nets fan here, send them picks for Cam J … feel like a perfect world starting lineup would be Fox, Monk, Cam J, Keegan, Sabonis with Derozan off the bench 👀👀👀
looks like we are in the brink of losing the season.. There is no sense of urgency with this current roster… Just my opinion is that we may have to part ways with Fox "soon" to get the most out of him
Matt said bet the over in wins for the team this season… says it was a easy bet smh
If they lose vs the Lakers on Saturday man shit will get crazy you dont lose to the lakers
Fox for vassel and castle and 4 first round picks spurs or heat with juarez herro ware for 3-4 first round picks
light the beam…………
I don’t know why people keep saying there’s no reason to believe he’s lost the locker room…. If he’s telling people to do something and they are not doing it… that’s a sign to me
Sabonis used to be AD’s daddy
MB LOST THE LOCKER ROOM PERIOD.
I hope I’m wrong but I think they did play their hardest tonight and this might just be it. I/we keep saying and hoping they’ll get better but ….well you know
Great show. Kings need to trade fox, give him a winning team, great player, but easiest way to shake up the team and get some length. It's not realistic to require fox to have a top 10 quality game on both ends to need to win.
There’s a trend for demar anywhere he goes…
I'd say trade DeRozan, but who's gonna want him? Best return will be trading Fox.
