The thing about the Sabonis trade that doesn’t get talked about enough is how much it really helped Fox explode.
People forget how much Fox was struggling to play with Hali (really how much they were struggling to play together). People theorized after the trade happened that the Kings dealt Hali because he actually had trade value unlike Fox. But as soon as Sabonis joined the team, Fox took off and has been an all-NBA level player. So not only did they add Sabonis, but they actualized Fox (Sabonis does so much for his game). That’s the sort of thing that makes a deal a win-win.
