Does this trade make sense for the Sacramento Kings?
The Sacramento Kings are a team with no real direction moving forward. They are in the midst of an extended drought from the postseason and that might not be ending anytime soon.
The Kings currently hold the ninth-overall pick in the upcoming 2021 NBA Draft and that can be used to add another prospect. Sacramento has had plenty of players thrown into NBA trade rumors and here is another.
Fox would be sent away in this one and that might not be at the top of the list for the Kings but it would land them a huge return. Quickley and Toppin would join the Kings’ selection in the first round as the new core moving forward.
The Kings would also land both picks in the first round that the Knicks currently hold, one being from the Dallas Mavericks in the Kristaps Porzingis trade. This would continue the rebuild in Sacramento and give them some more prospects that are looking like they have a high ceiling.

It does not seem like sending away the best player on the team would be beneficial but the Kings need to look even more down the line. If that involves a big return, then they could send Fox away.
