Kings keeping Fox over Haliburton is such an interesting decision. On one hand, Haliburton was the price required to get Sabonis. But also, Fox is a much more dynamic scorer than Haliburton, especially in isolation. Haliburton is probably a better knockdown shooter when it's fairly open.

But in crunch time, when you have to get a bucket somehow some way, Fox is the better option. While Haliburton is the better player overall, keeping Fox and getting Sabonis is maybe the most interesting trade decision I've seen in recent years.

Not saying it's the correct choice or anything, we won't know until several years down the line, but very few teams are daring enough to do something like that.
