Kings trade JT, Nik and Landry to Sixers (renamed)

[Hoovtrain]

How would you know?

Because I do

 

[kingjatt]

@ZachLowe_NBA: Sixers will receive a protected 1st-round pick from the Kings, and swap rights w/ Sacto in the 1st round of two other drafts, sources say.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

If it's a future pick, and we get better because of what's going on, who cares? Go big or go home.

I'll feel a lot better when we find out what that cap space is used on. We haven't gotten better, yet.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Because I do

I rather doubt it.

 

[PurpleHaze]

No more Sauce Castillo. What's this world coming too

 

[swisshh]

I'm actually fine with it all until the draft picks.

If that's true we better be getting Saric back. Too steep a price if not.

Agreed!

That 1st round pick better be well protected...lottery protected at the very least!

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

The draft picks are worth it. The time to win is in the present, not the future.

I hope that protection is decent. I doubt they'll want to swap picks anytime soon. Then again, you never know what could happen with a Rondo, Ellis, Cuz tandem. Carumba.

Chris Mannix ‏@ChrisMannixSI 27s27 seconds ago
As SI reported yesterday: Kings ownership wants Rondo/Ellis. Jeremy Lin on the radar, too. At this point, Wes Matthews price too high.

I swear on everything I love. If we roll out a ellis/rondo backcourt I will nevet spend a fine on the kings. Pure insanity.
Matthews> ellis/rondo by he price isn't to high

Well its a good thing the Sixers will continue to suck for the next 5 years.
On the other hand we will go into next season with only WCS as an unproven commodity. Ben is the other but I think he has shown enough to gaurantee he at the least will be one of the better backup SG options in the league.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Can we start a separte thre for the thread?

 

[Hoovtrain]

I rather doubt it.

That's unfortunate

 

[Merdiesel]

How the hell do swap rights work?

 

[jcwkings]

Can we start a separte thre for the thread?

I think it should all stay here to preserve a moment in time for Kings fans.

 

[Livinthedream]

Vlade better close on these free agents. Has to.

 

[PurpleHaze]

I have feeling another deal will go down soon and Kings will get player or players plus a draft pick back. But even if not I want to win now and not go on with endless 29 win seasons - ugh!

 

[lwc]

I hope that protection is decent. I doubt they'll want to swap picks anytime soon. Then again, you never know what could happen with a Rondo, Ellis, Cuz tandem. Carumba.

I wonder if there is a limit to the time frame on those drafts where they swap 1st rounders?

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Rondo and Wes is my prediction.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

That's unfortunate

It's unfortunate that I don't take the word of some anonymous person on the internet, with no credibility? Sure it is.

 

[Entity]

So 26-28 mil in cap space now

 

[theclash4u5]

Guys, we just gave up a future first round pick, last year's first round pick + swap on TWO picks of their choice (hopefully expires soon) just to clear salary to sign players who might not even come here.

 

[SLAB]

Kings "luck" (aka misery & misfortune) dictates the Kings will now win the Lottery!!!

... Except they will immediatly need to swap picks with the 76ers who managed the 10th pick despite having the worst record in. The league.

Woo!!!

 

[rainmaker]

And we just got raped

Your juvenile stance would carry more weight if you knew what we've secured for the created cap space, yet you don't as it hasn't happened yet.

An intelligent person would wait to see both ends of a deal before evaluating. If we're a playoff team, that pick means far less, compadre.

As it stands, this is a brilliant first step from Vlade. We'll have to see what he does with the cap space but we just became a major player in free agency when a few hours ago we had scraps.

 

[DerekJ]

Why is this management so bad?!? .

Lol you are such an ornery b***ard. Get a freaking sense of humor. You bullcrap attitude is exhausting

That red X in the upper right corner will solve that problem for you.

 

[BonziFan]

Everyone calm down. This came out of absolutely NOWHERE which does a lot to show that the leaks in THIS front office have indeed been plugged. Second, it makes me really think there is more going on that we just don't know about. I could very well be wrong, but I for one am completely behind this move.
