Trade deadline approaching for Kings
- Thread starter dude12
- Start date
The cap is projected to be about $102M, and the salary floor is 90% of that, so about $92M. Given the personnel we have right now (i.e., no more trades) and assuming that we do not pick up Afflalo's option but we do pick up Tolliver's option, and that both Gay and Galloway opt in, we will be paying about $66M* for 10 roster spots, and that is not counting whatever first-round picks we end up with. If we do end up with two first round picks, we could potentially be paying in the low $70Ms for our first 12 roster spots.
* This is also assuming we stretch the salary cap hit for Barnes' player option. If we do not, add about $4M to that number.

To be blunt I cannot even understand Vlade half of the time. He needs to take a class in public speaking/interviews. He sounds like a high school kid talking and forms terrible, incomplete sentences with no structured response. He does a very poor job of explaining himself and it comes across as he isn't very smart and the Kings franchise is full of clueless people. It is embarrassing
Mod voice: English is not Vlade's first language. I highly doubt you would form good and grammatical sentences in Serbian, unless you have spoken Serbian from childhood. The implication that someone is not intelligent based on imperfect command of a second language is bigoted, it has no place in modern society, and it will not happen here. That goes for everybody.

Seriously man? Trying to say im a Bigot? I am not making fun of his accent, he just doesn't explain himself well and if you are going to trade the best center in the league you need to figure out a way to explain yourself to the national media. and IF you are going to be an NBA GM you better figure out a way to talk to the media in a way that is very smooth and precise to back-up your moves. When I said "I cannot understand him half of the time"-- I mean as in I don't know what point he is trying to make and it makes it very confusing to understand. Not that he speaks with a different accent so I cannot understand him. There are many americans, who speak english, that have the same issue but they ARE NOT NBA Gm's.
You have criticized and been on me from the moment I came onto this Board. I am not sure what your deal is but please be fair because you know exactly what I am talking about and that it is far from being a bigot. It is about growing professionally to represent the franchise in a positive manner.

I said that the implication you made was bigoted. There is a distinction.
This is not about you stating that you don't understand Vlade's accent, and I suspect that you know that quite well. My objection to the implication you made is upthread, and stated quite clearly. You made a very clear connection between Vlade's English skills and his intelligence, and that implication will not stand here. Period. The appropriate thing to have done here would have been to apologize. You did not.
Yes, I have. I have been on you from the moment you came onto this board because you have been a jerk and a pain in the ass from the moment you came on this board. My job as a moderator on this board is to make sure that people who are jerks and pains in the ass either change their behavior for the better or leave the board for good. I tried the former course, but it hasn't worked. I'm now taking the latter.

In December the Rockets were interested in Koufos. I wonder if they'd trade Dekker to us for Koufos? We'd probably have to take back Brewer but we could cut and stretch him or whatever. Dekker would be a nice 3 prospect for us.
Another trade I was thinking might work is Collison and BMac and possibly even Afflalo for Cam Payne and a combo of other side assets? OKC could use all three for a playoff push. Practicing with Westbrook might even pull more out of BMac who knows.
To start next year..
Pg - Payne / Galloway / draft pick
Sg - Hield / Richardson / Temple
Sf - Dekker / Temple / draft pick
Pf - Free agent / Toliver / Skal
C - WCS / free agent / Papa
2017-18 season is still tank mode somewhat and we have another high draft pick. Draft decent and do okay in free agency that offseason and I'd be interested to see what we can do.

Any package that could bring us Payne, Rozier, or Payton without giving up WCS, rookies or draft picks would be most welcome in my opinion.
There is no guarantee that one of the top PG prospects in this draft will be there when we pick and I know we could move up with two possible first round picks. Also there are some nice looking SF prospects in this draft, another position of need. As it looks today 2018 will be a high pick which should equate to a very young promising team the following season.

We could of sent KK out to Houston a month ago, grabbed their first and ate the salary of Brewer.
Collison to Cleveland for the less favorable 2019 second of Minny or Lakers, best thing we could get is maybe 2020 pick swap. Their picks are all tied up, but you never know maybe we get lucky with that second or with that swap later. About the best I can think of right now for Collison with just picks.
