Woj: Kings let Bogi go

[pdxKingsFan]

Yeah, this is all to see if an acceptable offer for Buddy materializes.

Vlade probably should have taken the Kuzma deal last year if it was there since this was predictable, although I also think Vlade would have just signed both like there's no problem here.

 

[Sluggah]

Ha! They aren't debating it. The leaks that have come out the last few days are preparing fans for the Kings letting Bogi walk.

Please let them know I’m prepared.

I'm glad you trust the process.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

If the complaint is that now he walks for nothing, then it maybe was a good deal. But Kings fans (probably self included) would have screamed bloody murder.

I guess Ill keep on saying it:
Match Bogie
Trade Buddy to atlanta for Hunter and Pick
Sign Whiteside

Fox,Bogie,Barnes,Bagley, Whiteside
Cojo,Tyrese,Hunter,Beli,Holmes

Third String reserves
Ramsey,James,Woodard,Jeffries,Parker

Trade Cojo,Beli,Parker at deadline for more assets
Add Ramsey,Woodard to rotation

I don't think that's going to happen. I saw one reporter say the Kings should trade Buddy for Snell. That's probably closer to what they'd offer and no thank you to that. The Kings did this to themselves. Thanks Luke and Vlade.

If they’re still deciding at this point they should just flip a coin lol. Sort of intractable dilemma that they’re not gonna solve in the next 4 hours

If they are still deciding then I lose a little faith here that there is some sort of real direction and plan.

Yes and no. The assumption of trying to get assets now for Buddy and get assets later for Bogie makes sense to me. I don't think they want the headache of owning both.

Yeah. I don’t think it’s the trading both that’s the problem here, it’s the having them part.

Good job by McNair to not match.

Just had a mini-celebration. Addition by subtraction baby.

But think of all the potential Bogi for an expiring and second round pick trades we’re missing out on!

Bye bye Bogi!
I rooted for you. I appreciate your game. I’m a little annoyed that you got what you wanted and we got nothing. Wasn’t prepared for that. But I’m going to roll with it and hope you and the Kings both find future success!

is that Dennis Smith Jr. I'm seeing between Beal and Dame?

 

[dude12]

Kings have truly started going into hopefully a better direction. We know the roster we had wasn’t good enough. Love it.

 

[SLAB]

I’d like to reiterate that despite my pleas for him to walk, I do think in the RIGHT SITUATION (like the Bucks) Bogi could probably be an excellent role player.

Just any team where he is a de-facto lead dog... that team is a horrible team. And it doesn’t help he seems to try to do way too much in the role. If he was a clear third/fourth fiddle and not always forcing trying to do too much? Probably solid. We’ll see how he fits in with ATL.

I obviously didn’t want him on this team, but I wish him no ill will at all.

Giles gone
Basemore gone
Len gone
Bogie gone
All gone for nada not one asset
You suck Monte

Because last year’s roster was so awesome?

 

[Sluggah]

Now Tyrese can get the minutes to develop properly from jump street, while Buddy can get back to form and net us reasonable assets.

Good Buddy assets midseason = Underperforming Buddy + Underperforming Bogi assets end of season. Plus we’ll have an on-track Tyrese.

Best of a bad situation IMO.

Hahhahaahahahahahhaah I just saw that one. It is.

Look fwd to Halliburton starting ahead of Buddy by March and Buddy becoming a whiny siren once again.

 

[Livinthedream]

Bogi and Haliburton are redundant today, and Haliburton will be better tomorrow. Buddy has an all time great talent with his shooting.

If Mannix though we should have matched then not matching was the right move.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I don't turn to Ramona Shelburne for hard hitting analysis but it's nice to see the first comment wasn't a national figure roasting us for letting talent walk "just so we could say we could get something".

There's a long list of players that came through our doors as "movable pieces" that played out their full, horrid contract in Sacramento.

If you are trying to build around Hield you are perpetually bad.

Because we got nothing in return

Buddy will be off the team by March
