  1. Eddie is the only one with a brain here. So happy he checked both of them for trying to compare LeBron’s moves to other guys.

  2. Ok so keep Castle, Vassel, Sochan and don't give up 'too many picks'. Do they expect Sacramento give away their franchise player for .. Free!?

  3. Malik Monk is better in the pick and roll with Sabonis. Now I know y. Amazing point Eddie. Fox would be devastating with Wembly. Lefty to righty. Kings have to get their young players/studs and picks. And they’ll probably still lose the trade.

  4. Remember when the media thought haliburton was better than Fox, and Sac doubled down on Fox? Shame that he would abandon his team

  5. Bill trying to sell Eddie's "they're both left handed" comment is a riot.

    "Jabbar & Magic were both right handed. It killed those Showtime Lakers!"

  6. Shaq averaged 13 points in the 06 finals and wade was the best player on both teams in the 2011 finals. Dont let the fake narrative creators lie to you kids

  7. Bill’s inability to criticize Durant for joining the warriors, the team he probably should have beat anyway, is just insufferable. Biggest coward b*itch move by a star in his prime in NBA history

  8. the dominant hand thing makes no sense. If both players being left handed mattered, why wouldn't it matter for 99.9% of the other pick and rolls being all right handed?

  9. Did dude on the right really say that fox doesn't affect winning in Sacramento? So you think they're the exact same without him? Lmfao

  10. WTF is Termine talking about "Fox hasn't impacted winning" I can't believe these guys watch basketball then can say some of the stuff that comes out of their mouths.

  11. Wemby pairs well with Fox since he's a volume 3pt shooter & Sabonis isn't. Fox will probably be akin to peak Tony Parker (maybe even much better) in this system & perfect for Pop to coach.

  12. By Eddie Johnson’s theory any right hand pg/c pick and roll combo that’s both right handed is held back from its own potential. What John Stockton was left handed!! Imagine that!

  13. The reason T Mac and Yao didnt work out in Houston is because of T Macs eyes going in two different ways and Yao's were looking straight. Simple as that

  14. So kings would trade fox for basically no players in spurs no vassell , no castle just shirt draft picks. Who calls bill an nba genius . lol wherever Chris Paul goes there dangerous? 3 clueless old fuks

  15. I understand Fox and his agent wanting to jump the line of ‘great long term piece alongside Wemby’. It’s bold and I love how it says the quiet ambition out loud.

    But now all that Fox has done is slightly accelerated the Spurs’ game plan of ‘who WILL/SHOULD we eventually get to go alongside Wemby, both talent wise and long term salary cap fit ?’

    Fox has made it clear what he does and doesn’t want. I can see Sacramento shipping him out but not necessarily the Spurs bringing him in.

  16. Just here to say as someone who watches every Sacramento game… fox is an excellent defender. So sick of that knock. Dude can stay in front of just about anyone, and led the league in steals last year. Excellent anticipation, and not a huge gambler which makes leading the league in steals even more impressive. Maybe if the Kings weren’t undersized at every position, or at any point in his career didn’t have a 2 playing the 3 while a 3 pretends to be a 4 with Domas or Richaun Holmes at center.

    Fox isn’t a bad defender, the Kings have failed to support him.

  17. Never ever invite Eddie back on please. Easily the worst guest youve had on in recent memory. Also if you think Trae was snubbed you have to say who he should replace

  18. Fox prefers to be traded to the Spurs in the moment but.. Kings need Sochan, Castle, Collins and 3 first RD picks for Fox and Huerter. If the Spurs "wait" till free agency 27-28 season you wont have Cap opportunity's to sign Fox because you have to pay your young core. And Fox will sign with a win now contender like Boston, Houston or OKC in free agency. Plus I'm sure Fox would feel disrespected that the Spurs did not make it happen like he is not worth it to the Spurs to get him by any means necessary. Spurs need to hand the Kings a blank check and give them any trade package they want that doesn't involve Wemby or don't waste the kings time.
