It's clear that the Kings have decided what to do before the trade deadline, they haven't made significant results and progress in too long, and it's time to push it back and do it all over again. They've been looking for the right "pieces" to keep the team running steadily for years, and Fox seems to be that guy, however, in the first five years of their careers, the Kings haven't been much better than before.
This time they began to become proactive and proactive, with recent market rumors about the Kings' trades, with local media taking stock of some of the team's trading assets.
1． Not for sale
There are two players on this list who shouldn't be traded unless they can trade a top star, Harry Burton and Mitchell. Both have played very well this season, while both are very young and have great prospects. In Fox's absence, Halliburton has proven himself to be a more efficient and promising guard than Fox, and Mitchell's terrifying one-sided defense ability has ranked among the top of the NBA.
If you want to get those two players from the Kings, unless you come back with chips from top stars or a lot of first-round picks.
2. Barnes
As a 3D winger with great importance, Barnes can sometimes elevate the Kings' offense, shooting 39.4 percent from three-point range in the Kings' four seasons and 41.3 percent this season, along with five rebounds and one steal, making it one of his most trade-worthy years.
In addition, he has 17.0 points per game, can create 5 free throws, all of which is a new high, it is clear that the current Barnes is fully capable of being the starting line of the championship team, and his salary is relatively not expensive, at 20 million US dollars, and he is now 29 years old.
3. Hilde
Hield isn't currently the Kings' best player, but definitely the player who has appeared in deal negotiations the most in the past two seasons, and as a scorer and shooter, his performance has been uneven, but he still averaged 15.2 points per game in the sluggish season and shot 36.9% from three-point range, which is also a sore part of the championship team.
