I want to see Irving, Durant, and Simmons forced to play on the Nets this year. After all the Nets did to accomodate these players, they owe the Nets at this point, and still will be paid tens of millions of dollars to do so.

They’re going to end up getting an absurd about of 1sts for Mitchell like they did Gobert. Probably Jericho Sims, Cam Reddish, and McBride too. And for cap purposes Fournier has to be involved.

 

[kingsboi]

if the Jazz are going to tank this would be a good upcoming draft to start considering Wemba is getting lots of hype as a franchise changing talent and I'd like to see the Knicks be relevant, their fanbase has been suffering about as long as the Kings have.

Brunson-Mitchell-RJ-Randle defense. Woof. Mitch Rob gonna have a heart-attack trying to cover all those defensive lapses.

 

[Kings49ers]

Agreed. But people don’t go to garden to watch the Knicks for defense. That team will be fun to watch on offense. Add in IQ, Grimes and Hartenstein as well.

And D-Rose is going to still end up starting somehow.

My boy Hartenstein never going to touch the ball again

If they could find a way to move Randle and let Hartenstein/Obi man the 4 they’d be set. Randle is a black hole on offense, ball comes to him and no one sees it again until he put up a shot. It worked when he was the only scorer there but not now, and his defense ain’t anything great. Problem is no else wants him with that contract.

The Wembanyama sweepstakes is already making waves in this year's off-season moves but I can't help but remind people that the last franchise big man who led his team to a championship was drafted in 1998. A lot of potential franchise saviors have come and gone since then but none have been able to win without an MVP level wing or guard next to them. Just sayin.

personally I don't think Wemba is that guy but I could be wrong by seasons end. That said, I still wouldn't pass up an opportunity to draft a Anthony Davis, Dirk, Jokic, Embiid or KAT just because history shows us that they don't win without help. Not every franchise can emulate a Warriors dynasty so they have to go about it in their own way. Who will that next team be? We don't know yet.

The Kings should put in a package for Bojan Bogdanovic (Jazz), offer Holmes/whatever makes salary work plus some 2nd round picks. I doubt it will be enough but having a 3rd Sniper and 17-20ppg who does not need the ball would be massive and Murray would be great than off the bench.

Yikes... It looks like Charles Barkley's golf swing where he pauses in the middle. Ugly shot though. That thing would get blocked all the time.

What exactly do "individual workouts" accomplish as far as a NBA scout is concerned, they literally prove nothing other than guys who cannot shoot in a NBA game DSJ/WCS are lights out in a gym by themselves and that they can do cool dunks when no one is guarding them. I' m not sure if there is anything more pointless.

i don’t think Knicks fans understand that the Kings also said they weren’t trading Tyrese right before they traded Tyrese.

Lot of movement could happen from this if the Suns don’t match. Where could Turner get traded?

 

[captain bill]

Looking forward to the Hali / Ayton P&R

 

[iowamcnabb]

The Nba is so stacked right now it’s insane. The play in is going to be for good teams potentially.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Hali
Math Buddy
Duarte
Smith
Ayton Jackson

good solid start. Flip Turner for a wing and they could turn around pretty quickly

 

[itzcoatl]

Robert Sarver in shambles.

Very interesting. Means S&T options fell through.

Suns are absolutely wild if they let him walk. Would be the ultimate cheapskate move after being one of the best teams in the NBA the last 2 years and you let your 23 year old stud C walk. It is Sarver, so it's definitely possible.

 

[hrdboild]

Wow, good for the Pacers. If the Suns don't match they managed to transform a last place team by adding a young Haliburton, Mathurin, and Ayton core in just a few months.

Yeah that's a hell of a reset. Couple nice role players too (Jackson, Brissett, Duarte) behind them if they get that trio. Hali-Ayton is near perfection in the PnR

Won't be able to defend a pinecone, but I think Ayton has turned into a pretty great rim protector overall which should help. They need Math to develop as an on-ball scorer, but that's a top 5 offense waiting to happen.

I thought 'Math Buddy' was a new nickname for Buddy for a minute there.

It is a good potential lineup, but there is still a lot of work to do. That lineup will get overrun on the wings this year, as things stand. Now I get there is a lot of potential for Smith, Duarte, and Mathurin to develop, and if they do, then you are working with something. But that wing lineup is purely potential. We don't really know that Smith, Duarte, or Mathurin are eventually going to be rotation level guys on a playoff team.

I mean it is the same for Murray as well. Just pointing out that that lineup is (currently) an embarrassment on the wings, and would lose a lot of games this year.
