This season, several teams in the West have not met the expectations of fans, among which the most disappointing team is undoubtedly the Kings. During the offseason, the Kings recruited DeRozan to strengthen their lineup, forming a trio, but after DeRozan joined the Kings, the effect was not good, and the Kings' current record is even worse than last season. They are currently on a five-game losing streak and are ranked fourth from the bottom in the West.
Therefore, recently, there have been rumors about Fox's trade. This season, Fox has performed very well, averaging 26.2 points and 6.1 assists per game. This season, Fox also scored 60 points. Under such outstanding performance, the team's record is very poor, and he is very disappointed, so it is not ruled out that he will choose to apply for a trade and leave the Kings.
Currently, many teams in the league are very interested in Fox, and he has caused a scramble. The Lakers, Spurs, Rockets, and Heat all have great interest in this young guard. As a rising star, he will significantly enhance the immediate combat effectiveness of any team he joins.
The Lakers will obviously join the competition, and they are currently in great need of a point guard like Fox. Although the Lakers currently have Russell and Reeves, Reeves is not strictly a point guard, and his scoring explosiveness is far inferior to Fox. Russell, on the other hand, is an inconsistent offensive player. Compared to Russell or Reeves, Fox is a higher-level player, especially his scoring ability in critical moments, which the Lakers desperately need.
If the Lakers can get Fox, they will truly establish a trio lineup. With Fox as the leader on the perimeter, James as the leader at the small forward position, and Davis as the leader in the interior, their lineup configuration will be very reasonable. Moreover, James can decisively delegate ball-handling responsibilities because Fox has a strong ball-handling offensive ability. When the ball is in his hands, he can not only attack on his own but also create opportunities for his teammates.
This season, he also averages 6 assists per game. When he plays pick-and-roll with Davis, Fox can punish opponents with his best mid-range shots and create many easy scoring opportunities for Davis. Therefore, Fox is a player who fits the Lakers very well, and he is very young with the potential to become a superstar. After joining the Lakers, he can benefit the Lakers for the next five years. If Fox applies for a trade, the Lakers must not miss this opportunity, as his joining is the hope for the Lakers to compete for the championship. I wonder what the fans think?
