On the latest edition of Return of the Roar podcast, Chris Watkins and Frankie Cartoscelli were joined by ABC 10 and Locked On Kings host Matt George and The Kings Pulse Podcast’s Brenden Nunes to give their predictions for the NBA All-Star reserves, dive into the De’Aaron Fox All-Star debate, preview the upcoming trade deadline, and much more.

Plus: Should GM Monte McNair keep the core of this team–primarily the top-eight players in the rotation–intact during trade season, or should he be aggressive in upgrading the points of need?

Topics Discussed:

  • It’s All-Star selection day. Will Domantas Sabonis and De’Aaron Fox get crowned?
  • Is this the most deserving that Fox has been of an All-Star appearance?
  • Diving into the Fox vs. Booker vs. Lillard All-Star debate
  • Sacramento responds to a two-game skid with back-to-back wins
  • Why have the Kings played well on the road but struggled at home?
  • The NBA trade deadline is one week away. Should we expect the Kings to make significant moves?
  • Which players should Monte McNair kick the tires on?
  • Bold deadline predictions
