Haliburton is great, this is no knock on him, grateful for everything he is doing especially in offense, even though his lack of defense is probably gonna get exposed in playoffs
But maaan, watching Fox in playoffs and last couple of games, I don’t think peak Haliburton will ever come close to his " 1 v 5 " potential. His team is by far the worst offense in NBA without him and by far the best offense in NBA with him, I have never seen someone so unguardable since Curry.
When I look at Hali, I say to myself, alright if we have another star / team performs well he is gonna be like the 2nd coming of Nash in offense and we need to hide him in defense.
When I look at Fox, I say to myself how can a guy singlehandedly beat an NBA team.
Fox is great
But in regards to if we traded for wrong pg… then no.
Hali was still on his rookie contract. And is younger. Fits our timeline better
If we traded for fox, we’d have to be in instant win now mode.
So even if talent is equal, Hali would still be preferable
