That's crazy. Donovan Mitchell is a three time (soon to be four time) All-Star who has never averaged less than 20 PPG in a season for his entire career. He's also in year 2 of a 5 year extension. I'd be shocked if Toronto gets even half of what Utah got for Mitchell in an OG Anunoby trade and I'm saying that as a big OG fan. There's just no comparison to be made. OG is a 3 and D role-player, Mitchell is one of the elite scorers in the league.
Looking at more realistic targets than Anunoby...
I've been watching a few Jazz games during their hot start to the season. Jarred Vanderbilt seems like he could be a very good fit at PF. I wonder what the Jazz would want for him and can the Kings afford it? He is 6'9" and is very mobile at that height, so he can defend on the perimeter and in the paint too. Great hustle and rebounder as well. The lineup below could be very good when a more defensive approach is called for.
Fox, Huerter, Murray/Barnes, Vanderbilt, Sabonis

OG is an ascending player who is only 25, has gotten better each year and is continuing to get better, has turned into a legit DPOY candidate and is your prototypical wing player who can guard multiple positions while shooting solid FG/3PT %s. He will absolutely be coveted and it’s going to take a haul.

The Suns have reportedly turned down a trade offer made by the Wizards of Rui Hachimura for Jay Crowder.
What can the Kings offer to get Rui? Could the Wizards be tempted into swapping him for Okpala and Lyles or Metu?
I'm doubtful about his fit with Sabonis-Murray... but he could be useful off the bench at PF/SF this season. If he plays well but does not fit, he becomes another asset that could be used in trades (example, for Vanderbilt). If he doesn't play well at all, could just waive him too.

Rui is a restricted free agent at seasons end. So if he doesn’t play well the Kings can just not retain him especially if they didn’t have to give up any real value to get him. If he plays well, I’m guessing teams are reluctant to get him and then have to match some over the top offer sheet from a team that’s banking on his potential. I’m guessing that’s why the Suns didn’t get him in what’s a sweet deal on paper. He probably doesn’t help them win now and he’ll be near impossible for them in particular to retain.
For the Kings, I think he’s a good fit next to Domas. Basically anybody that isn’t a ball stopper and can credibly shoot from three is a fit next to Domas. He’s more athletic than our current crop of forwards but I don’t know if he moves the needle this season and it might be difficult to keep him

Rui is kind of like if Keegan goes/went wrong? Bit of a tweener PF, doesn't have too many modern skills that really help you win. Remains to be seen how Keegan continues to develop his game, but his defensive versatility and movement shooting is always going to be valuable to winning. Not exactly sure Rui does anything well at this point
WCJ and BolBol for Holmes, TD . WCJ only 6'10" lost starting Job, coming off Injury and we take on more LT Salary?
Magic end up with Mo Wagner, Mo Bamba, Holmes at C
Paolo, Isaac, Okege at PF
I would maybe send a 2nd but no way send a 1st
Maybe we add some shooting with WCJ and some Height with BolBol
Magic saves some salary and gets a 2nd

I still think Mo Bamba could be a great player next to Sabonis. Mo Bamba already plays like a power forward anyway, he likes to play the perimeter and shoots 38% from three. He has the foot speed to guard the four spot, and a 7’10” wingspan to wipe away a lot of mistakes. It seems he has fallen out of favor in Orlando. I so I don’t know what it would take to trade for him.
Fox, Huerter, Keegan, Bamba, and Sabonis is a pretty good lineup with spacing and a lot of defense potential.

I would like to see the Kings go after Kelly Oubre this summer.
He's still only 27 and in the right age range with the Domas and Fox core. He can average 20 pts/game and be that 3rd scorer on this team and plays a solid SF role and would allow Keegan to slide into the Stretch 4 role if we don't resign Barnes.

I wonder what the price is gonna be on Jaxson Hayes. The Pelicans are playing great and he's fallen out of the rotation.
He's restricted. Obviously he had that incident with the police where they tased him and i think hes on probation now.
Could he be a super athletic long armed mobile 6'11 shotblocking rim runner whos the same age as Keegan Murray and available for cheap?? Kings are an interesting spot for him to land, we can put an athlete like that in spots to win matchups I think.

Wendell Carter is a C. His contract is fairly cheap and its descending in value. A move for Wendell Carter wouldn't ''settle things" on the C depth chart just yet either.
If theres some type of way we could move Holmes for him, that makes this much more appealing though obviously Orlando will want picks to do so.
That'd leave you with Sabonis-Carter-Queta which still means IMHO that you need to get a PF who can really block shots to really balance things(like drafting Noah Clowney or Taylor Hendricks in the 1st).
