2023 TRADE DEADLINE MEGATHREAD

[Kingz19]

Well, all the low key rotation guys I would’ve been happy with are off the table except Collins.

15 minutes.

 

[Tetsujin]

I'd like to pick up Pat B if he's bought out. Upgrade over Davion at the backup PG.

It's already being reported he's going to Minnesota.

 

[Folsomkingsfan]

I didn't think we needed to make any big moves today, but we clearly had holes on our roster we could've fixed with players that were traded today for packages we could've beat. With our tough schedule too a tumble down the standings feels likely.

 

[SLAB]

Suns-substantially better
Clippers/Lakers better

Mavs meanwhile a massive question mark, could go either way.

 

[SacTownKid]

I think people are overestimating the impact. They also go worse in some.

The Kings worst enemy is themselves since we know this team is one stretch of bad games, or even worse no games from Fox to go from top 3 to potentially play in fodder. Direct rivals just not only got better but the Suns just potentially built a gatekeeper team for the next 2-3 seasons. That parity in the West the Kings fed on is now GONE. At least on paper. Lets hope the chemistry is enough I guess.

Feels really dang bad watching every West team get better. Everyone else is operating on the edges to improve, why aren't we?

LOLLLLLLLL

Not so sure on any of them. Suns traded depth. Lakers traded defense and rebounding and now rely on Davis to play 35+ mins a game.
Clippers are still the Clippers.

Monte probably got fired a couple hours ago, it just hasn’t been reported yet with the trade nonsense.

If the Pistons landed James Wiseman that means Nerlens Noel is certainly still in play.

I think thats gotta be the last possible move still on the table for the Kings here.

 

[Sluggah]

All I can think about suddenly is that Lakers team that added Karl Malone and Gary Payton then immediately proceeded to play like ass.

Fingers crossed. Ditching Holmes for a more competent backup has always been my #1 move. Nothing major…. But we have holes and we should tune this team for the stretch run.

I might have to leave the forum forever if that happens LOL. Kbo2 would somehow come back from the graveyard to haunt my existence

 

[iowamcnabb]

I mean if Monte thinks this team is a 43-46 win team maybe he can't justify spending 3 or 4 second rounders on a rental. He might want to save those for a year where we are closer to contending. Thats good discipline really. Still, a bit of a let down from a fan perspective

LOLLLLLLLL

We'll give them Holmes in exchange for Collins plus our pick back.

 

[Tetsujin]

Or the Lakers team that traded for Russ and immediately played like super ass.

Not sure, my guess is chemistry. I would have figured Monte would have been all over an attempt to get someone like Bey. Bey has iffy efficiency but he can attack the rim and create offense which would potentially have been a long term solution next to Murray or Barnes.

Feels really dang bad watching every West team get better on paper. Everyone else is operating on the edges to improve, and we are banking on our team chemistry. Is that going to be enough?

Nah, they'll trade him to OKC for a through 50 protected 2nd round pick LOL

 

[iowamcnabb]

10 minutes but there really isn't anybody left other than Noel

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I can't help but feel like there will be a lot less costly acquisitions in the summer. This deadline has been wild. Especially in a year where I expected more teams to be in clear tanks.

Yeah, why do that when the next Justin James is waiting in the wings, haha.

Lol these seconds going wild. So the Wiseman essentially for treaded for GPII back?
Also; weren’t the Warriors trying to shed salary?

 

[Tetsujin]

What are the Blazers actually doing lol?

Durant/Kyrie skrewed it all up.

Lol these seconds going wild.

At this point, the Kings might only being the only team in the division with any second round picks whatsoever
