Expirings just don't seem to have the value anymore because teams usually just want them to fall off their own books. We'll see if Simmons can land a haul. He's another guy I wouldn't mind Monte looking at. I'm not sure the Nets want long term salary though. IMO, Monte either makes a move that pushes his team forward in terms of the talent level now, or he starts wiggling dollars off his cap for 2025. The more I look at the Kings cap situation I wonder why Monte didn't see he was possibly walling off the only potential opportunity he'd have to make a move by signing Barnes to that many years. Even if the value is nil if Monte can get Huerter and Barnes off his books he has one LAST legit shot in FA to make a splash before his cap explodes just keeping Fox and Murray. Of course, if he re-signs Monk that's pretty much it anyway. This team either just had an off year, or they fade.
I may be in the minority here, but I think OKC will regret trading low on Giddy. While Caruso is a nice role player, I don't think he puts them over the top.
If Giddy is given the reigns of his own team to run, like Hali was in Indy, your going to see a player capable of putting up 20 pts and close to 8-10 assists per game. Just like Presti gave up on Harden too soon when he was sharing the ball with Westbrook, I think Giddy will flourish in Chicago if they have a smart enough coach to gives him the reigns of the team.

Giddey was in a bit of a Haliburton situation in OKC, stuck playing on a team with SGA at his position. The Kings managed to sell Tyrese at value, the Thunder didn't. Caruso is a nice complementary player, but I agree this could look really bad in a few years. That said, Coby White isn't going to go down easy, either. But at least he's no SGA to compete with.
I don't get the talk for replacing Len. I thought he did a great job as backup. Is it because hes a FA? Are they looking for someone to stretch the floor more and provide more backup minutes then Len so not to wear down Domas? I just think we have more pressing needs, like a 4! Disclaimer: I am a big Len guy lol
I'm already on record as not wanting any part of Miles Bridges. But just from a cap perspective, we can't get him "cheap". If reports are to be believed, Charlotte is interested in signing him to a contract starting around $20M per year. If he wants more than that, they'll explore sign-and-trade options.
If that's really the case, the Kings wouldn't have any possibility of signing him outright and would have to get him via sign-and-trade on a deal that pays more than $20M per season.

Allegedly we inquired about Bridges at the deadline

I like the idea of sending our second rounders to Phoenix for pick 22.

Bridges could definitely fill the starting PF/SF need we have, just have to deal with the scrutiny that comes with the move, but maybe that’s something you have to think about as a small market team.
I’d guess we could dangle some kind of combination of Barnes, Sasha, Heurter, & Duarte + picks in a S&T.
Also, with a bunch of teams looking to move their picks I’d be looking into getting another early 20s/teens picks. There’s a lot of talent in that range for this draft. If we could get a higher prospect that falls at #13, then can grab someone like De Silva with our 2nd 1st round pick that would be huge.

It's Riley so who knows. The only thing is at his age and declining impact on W's whether or not that would be worth the risk for Sac. I think he'd cost a lot more than PG13 in a sign and trade for sure. Not sure the Kings have the assets to get Butler. Or at least want to sink the future for him. I'm sure the Heat would want Murray and for anyone that age that's a heck no. If the Kings were in the discussion last season maybe. They were a 46 win team after peaking at 48 with no clear MVP level talent on the roster. Nope.
I’m enjoying all the possibilities and appreciate that we have a competent FO. With Monk locked in, the direction is somewhat clearer, but still so curious if the 13th will be part of a trade for an established forward or should I stay enthusiastic about this years 1st round.
I like Bajas suggestion in the second round. Freeman should be there and sounds an intriguing option for much needed wing depth.
