Kings rush to playoffs, get rid of 16 years of fish

In this year's playoffs, in the most unexpected results, the Sun was eliminated by the Maverick can certainly be ranked in the front, and in the first G battle, sitting in the home court of the Sun in the first quarter was the Maverick beaten without a fight, the game also lost early suspense, breathtaking. As the leader of the regular season in the West, the Sun has Paul, Booker, Aston and a strong rotation of players, they also reached the finals last year, did not expect a year later, in the Western Conference semifinals by a young team short of Maverick defeated, it is really unbelievable.

We can easily see from the process of the game that Paul, as the lynch pin of the team, is not as brave as he was in the past, his inefficient offense and slow pace of the team dragged down the team's offense, in addition, in the defensive end Paul can not show the aggressiveness of the past. It has to be said that Paul is no longer fit enough to play with ease in the playoffs. Therefore, the Phoenix media have suggested that the Sun should trade Paul away for some energetic young players. Fade away World recently wrote a trade proposal in which they believe the Sun should reach out to the Kings for a 1-for-2 deal, with the following details: Sun sends Paul; Kings sends Fox and a 2024 first-round pick. So, what are the implications of this deal if it happens?

As the league's 16-year old fishbowl team, the Kings are not looking for change. In the past season they traded Halliburton and Yield for the inside "jack of all trades" Abortionist Jr. in order to strengthen, and although the Kings' record had a brief boost, unfortunately they still have some gaps from the playoffs. It's easy to see from the composition of the Kings' roster that they lack a star with leadership in the locker room and on the court. Paul's arrival can be the perfect solution to this problem, although Paul is not as brave as it was, but still has a strong ability to control the court, averaging 14.7 points, 4.4 rebounds and 10.8 assists a double-double, last season also won the King of assists, his organizational scheduling ability to convince the King's juniors.

In the off season, the Kings brought in Monk and Hurst and others in quick succession to further improve the depth of the lineup. Monk hit his stride in a season with the Lakers, where he proved his ability to score. Hurst, on the other hand, is a three-point sharpshooter for the Hawks, and they both get better shooting opportunities next to Paul. With the veteran sitting on the bench and the young talented players who are not bad, the King's roster is still quite competitive. Paul can make the King regain cohesion and lead them into the playoffs like he led the Thunder to get rid of the title of bad team.

For the Sun, they formed a younger offensive threat through this deal, the Big Three, led by Fox, Booker, Aston as the core of the three, with full impact, the Sun's style of play will also be changed by the arrival of Fox, their offensive rhythm and offensive and defensive transition will be faster. Fox averaged 23.2 points, 3.9 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game last season. He has the league's top breakaway speed, and his impact will tear up opponents' defenses, and Fox's defense isn't weak either. Plus the Sun has a cadre of shooters who will hold each other in check, drawing defensive attention to each other and giving Fox and Booker unprecedented breakout space. Fox's organizational ability is not as old as Paul's, but it is enough for the young Sun, and Booker can also be used as a ball-handler.

In addition, the Sun can also harvest a first-round pick in this deal, which can also add an attraction for them to get Durant next year. Perhaps this 2-for-1 deal will eventually bring a win-win situation, what do you think about it?
