Would you consider this De’Aaron Fox trade for the NY Knicks?

The Kings are a mess and they have far too much talent to be as bad as they have been for this many years consecutively.

There are issues within the organization that transcend far beyond the roster’s composition and studs like De’Aaron Fox need to get the heck outta there before he wastes too much of his career trying to make a junk box team good.

The front office has finally cut ties with Luke Walton, but as we all know, with one major change…others are sure to follow.

I’ve written tons of articles about the Knicks targeting different players with Sacramento over the past year and for good reason.

That team needs to go with a youth movement and blow it all up ASAP.

Kings’ GM Monte McNair has tried his best to clean up the messes that were created before he was hired, button no avail.

Trading off all the aging talent and starting over fresh is only fair.

We know the Knicks like their former Kentucky guys, evidenced by the plethora of former Wildcats executives Leon Rose and World Wide Wes have brought onto the team since they took the helm.

Adding De’Aaron Fox to that list would be a tremendous addition.

Unlike Dame, I think the Knicks could acquire Fox and not necessarily have to make any other ‘win now’ moves.

Fox is locked up for the next 5 years and if he’s willing to remain patient with the Kings, he’d surely be willing to buy into what the Knicks’ long-term plans are and hang around until they acquire another star…perhaps via free agency in a few seasons.

Guys like Karl-Anthony Towns and Devin Booker both become free agents in 2024, which seems to be the free agency class the Knicks are playing for currently seeing how their most recent acquisition’s contracts have been structured.

The Knicks would provide ‘Swipa’ a playoff-caliber team year in and year out while they wait and see who else would like to come aboard New York’s rocketship.
