    It's reportedly a big one, so I'm curious to see who's all going where and which ones might make a difference or be buyout candidates.

    Wemby and Fox is going to be a battle for Luka Lakers for years.

    Does LaVine replacing Fox fix anything? They are awful defensively.

    Wonder how much worse Chicago got

    Man, the West just gets better, Wemby and Fox, now LaVine on the Kings, at least keeps them from being garbage.

    Good trade for the Spurs, but at least the Kings got something out of this.

    I can see CP3 getting bought out and coming here after this trade.

    Wemby and Fox are going to be a real problem to cover.
    Once they get that third piece, they will be contenders.

    Getting Fox without giving up Castle or Vassell is pretty nice. Spurs are going to be a big rival for us again huh.

    Someone needs to head their a** East. We don’t need any more powerhouse teams in the West.

    From now on the NBA should just do trades, screw playing games.

    This is way more fun

    Are the Spurs going to wave CP3?

    or does Fox fit in there?

    Kings play through Domas all the time so I don’t think it affects him much

    I was perhaps the only poster here to advocate for trading for Kessler for the purpose of being a replacement for AD in the near future. The two never made any sense to play in a starting front court together. I think now, we should pounce on that. Vando could still be the back up center, and we would also have to get a point-of-attack defender (who could shoot) to replace Max. We still need to make sure we only have a maximum of one non-shooter on the floor at all times. I am willing to trade either Austin or Knecht + the 31 pick and 27 protection removal in exchange for Kessler. Whoever Utah wants for him. Point of attack defenders I could think of are Daniels (pipe, but ayyyyye), Ellis, McDaniels, Wallace, DiVicenzo, Dort, Jalen Williams (pipe, but again but ayyyye), Green, Brooks, Smart, Anounoby, Bridges, DeJounte, and Thybulle. Probably more that I am forgetting. Unless we could get Myles Turner. Which, in that case, Vando could be the POA defender.

    No worries there, he’ll do more playmaking now more than ever that Fox is gone
