I wouldn't really say Fox and LaVine are super similar, but I do think it's a decent trade after Fox requested a trade. LaVine is overpaid, and that really killed his trade value, but he's still a good player and I think he's shown a level of effort on defense this season that he generally hasn't shown in the past. Very curious to see what sorts of lineups they run out there now though; they don't really have anyone that even approximates a point guard. Sacramento is very much in risk of becoming a treadmill team right now though where they're not good enough to be a serious threat in the playoffs but not bad enough to get the high draft picks that help get them over the hump.

Beyond that, as a non-Kings fan that merely likes tuning into their games here and there, I am a little bummed to see Fox go. He's definitely a flawed player and probably not good enough to lead a contender, but he's one of the most fun players to watch in the league IMO.

I'm not really going to judge the Bulls' side of this until the dust settles more. I gotta imagine they're planning to make other moves to strip this thing down more, but getting their own pick back is obviously very good for them and while I'm skeptical he's a long-term building block, Tre Jones is an alright player and still young. His 3 point shooting makes him hard to build a playoff lineup around, but he's generally been a positive contributor when he's on the court.
