Depending on which day you ask a Kings' fan, trading for Zach LaVine was either a stroke of genius or a disaster waiting to happen. Being that he's only played the back half of the 2024-2025 season with the team, it's hard to say for sure.
The issue might be more about what the team lost than what it gained. Part of that trade saw long-time Kings' point guard De'Aaron Fox head to the San Antonio Spurs.
That was a bitter loss many fans in Sacramento have yet to get over. Regardless, LaVine brings his own issues to the table which followed him from Chicago.
