  1. Look kings fans I love this team but fox had ten years to make us better and he has so give him his flowers 🌹 but if wants to leave don’t panic as long as we get some good value and get some players ✌️

  2. As a Kings fan, I’m done with De’Aaron Fox. You can never win or even be a consistent playoff team with him being your franchise player.

    He’s NOT a winner and has no winning intangibles.

    He’s best when he’s your 3rd best player. Trade him and get some assets for him before he walks away.

  3. Matt I didn’t hear your give a personal endorsement of RocketRX you usually always give your own glowing reviews of all of your endorsements you are sponsored by.

  4. 6 months later I watched today's game, and I missed two players. I missed Sasha Vezenkov and Zach Edey. Sasha average 19 points, 6+ rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 steal in every game against Euro Champions. He won his 16-th MVP, making 3-pointer after 3-pointer in every game. Yesterday, Zach Edey outplayed Draymond after Draymond called him soft on his podcast. Draymond ended with 0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 0 steals, 4 turnovers, and 4 fouls, with a -42 rating. Both Sasha and Zach are having amazing seasons. Kings: Not good enough for us! HAHAHAHAH!!!!

  5. Let's do an exchange Fox for Jalen Green and picks during offseason if you don't make the playoffs Kings nation! He is a Californian and that give you a chance and time for a faster rebuild

  6. We gotta keep fox, the league is really good. Many teams. The lakers played really good. LeBron is doing things that no one does. I fully agree with fox that enjoying the game is number one. Of course this depends on how well you perfect your craft. You get out what you put in. Make that skillfull move and dont waste energy. Just see yourself putting the ball in the net.

  7. Demar was a mistake. I honestly think we should look to trade him for anything if we can. Do the lakers want him? He is in the way of a good team. He honestly has aged out of the league. He doesn’t play defense. The amount of times I see him refuse to close out is 4x any other player on the team. He causes issues with spacing. He can’t play in a system. He doesnt pass. He doesn’t rebound offensively or defensively. I have watched every minute of every game. Demar is the problem and he should not play another minute if I were monte McNair. We can go undefeated the rest of the year and I will stand by this.

  8. Losing has sucked the soul out of the fans and this franchise and there are many issues. There seems to be a disconnect between Fox and MB. Brown relies heavily on his coaching staff with the team. In team sports, players usually adopt the personality of the coach. On the court, the Kings aren't having fun and not playing with a lot of swag. It appears the players miss Jordi and his alpha energy. Brown must find a different approach to reconnect with Fox and this team. Throwing his star under the bus to the media isn't good either.
    Who's idea was it to trade for DeRozan? So far, this trade hasn't looked good. Was it to please Fox and his agent? Everyone has looked out of place this season.
    Keegan misses HB the most and trying to replace his 4 spot. Everyone, don't blame Keegan for the early season struggles. He's playing out of position and is asking to guard LeBron. While physically gifted, Keegan is still a pup. It's a BIG task to ask a young player to guard a grown man. On a positive note, Keegan has a high ceiling. I would suggest to Brown is to develop his mental aspect of the game to be a killa on the court. Keegan adapts quickly and is very coachable.
    The ship has a few issues that need to be repaired and the highest priority is the coach and player relationship.

  9. If the kings dont turn it around guess what, its the coach needing to be fired and get someone else. The lakers are playing better then last year. The kings go sub 500 in the next 6 games then pull the trigger. Out coach. New guy comes in and straightens out this team.

  10. I believe all the negativity that is surrounding this team by the fans that are supposed to show love is sucking the energy out of the team. Fox has stated he wants to be here. That rarely happens for us here in Sacramento. Now everyone wants him to go? A lot of you folks wouldn’t know what loyalty looked like if it was spelled on the inside of your eyelids and you saw it every time you blinked. Do better Kings fans!!!

  11. Kings finna do what they always do. Hang on to players who should have been traded and over pay players. I’ll trade Fox, Derozan and Keegan and rebuild off that trade. That trade is enough to acquire 2 starters and 2 decent bench players

  12. I don't want fox to go. I love him hes my favorite player in the world. Fox if you read this which i doubt, i dont blame you, i blame the really poor roster construction, losing a lot of valuable pieces like terrence davis, davion, etc… I blame the coaching staff and player development coaches. Keegan has regressed.

    Fox is a great player he just needs a more defensive oriented team around him. Maybe next season with Devin Carter, a decent draft pick thats a lengthy defensive minded 4 that can block shots, with keon ellis and keegan, then wed have an actual great defensive team. I rly want to see that but no matter what I'm not giving up on Fox, he truly wants to finish his career in sac and i hope he does cause it'd honestly break my heart if he left. 🥺🥺🥺

  13. I would like to bring some joy to the Kings fans and present some reasonable trades that include Fox:
    1. Fox —- Herro (Mia) + Jaquez Jr (Mia)
    2. Fox + Lyles —- Murray (Nola) + H. Jones (Nola) + Theis (Nola)

    3. Fox —- Reeves (LA) + Knecht (LA) + Mr X (LA) + 1st (LA)
    4. Fox —- Vassell (SA) + Mamukelashvili (SA) + 1st (SA)
    additionally 5. DeRozan + Lyles + 1st (Sac) + 1st (LA/SA) —- C Johnson (Bkn) + D F Smith (Bkn)
