    Why would they trade Keegan when he brings exactly what the Kings need more size, 3&D, and size. Keegan has had a long slump it happens. He’s still potentially a knockdown shooter and lockdown defender with mid post skills.

      Especially with 2 defense minded guards in keon and devin to cover the elite guards....so keagan doesnt have to. Keagan just needs to find his scoring self again.

      Keegan and Huerter losing their shooting at the same time then getting it back at the same time as well isn't a coincidence. The only writing on the wall is Doug makes them better

      You have to think about the present and future of the team. We don't need Fox anymore​ and is a ball stopper. Do you ever see him pass the ball to Huerter, Murray, Lyles? I mean thats his job to find them in their spots. There's also a problem with one too many guards. Monk is on a favorable contract is better for the team especially with Domas. And both Keon and Carter are cheap long term deals. Fox is taking up shots from Heurter, Murray and Lyles and is hurting their confidence as well as ball movement. @@d.9258

      @kyshro, you dont understand NBA business. If star players walk away next summer free agency, Kings will get nothing. It's better to trade him now while he has some sort of value rather than losing Fox for nothing. I'd say Monte needs to trade him to the Eastern Conference team such as Nets, Charlotte or Detroit for a Forward or Center player and a couple of future 1st rounders and couple sack of potatoes...anything helps. Besides he's 28 years old, in a few years, he will be inury prone and will decline. Trade is a must now.

    They absolutely should have had a press conference. Monte had one when Luke was fired. Vivek and Monte look foolish and deserve all the heat for how they mishandled the whole thing, yes. However, a lot of the finger pointing at Fox, especially from the larger outside NBA world, was because the week before he appeared on the Draymond podcast talking about how the team wasn't good enough, the Rich Paul article came out later that week. All of that generated a lot of noise about Fox and his future. Most people do not know or care about what is happening with the Kings, but they hear that noise and so when Brown was fired in the midst of all that, yeah, they connected those dots however wrong they are. You can say it's not fair and it's bad timing or whatever, but that's part of the risk when you choose to play those games in the media as Klutch did.
