Kings trade 49th pick for rights to Sasha Vezenkov

[24 rick barry]

No, we sold the pick for 1.75 million.

And I stand by my earlier statements.

Has Monte hit on a second round pick? Seeing that he has not...he sold this 2nd pick for 1.75 mil...pretty simple and a player not likely to make any noticeable improvement to an NBA roster, if he should make the roster at all. Yes, 2nd round picks do have value =1.75 mil.

Incorrect. And the failure to see this trade for what it is, 1.75 mil in cash, is a characteristic of wishful but naive fans. Are you thinking, Cleveland paid 1.75 million, to rid themselves of this impactful NBA player?

I suspect about 3 years ago you were drinking the same Kool-aid when pushing for the Vlade extention. Kings are still paying Vlade, Luke and Gentry too.

I truly hope the Kings have the right players to win this year. As far as the last 2 years go with Monte as GM, just look at the record, which is uninspiring. You don't suggest that our record was good the last two years, with Monte as GM?

You were still wrong. We negotiated with Vezenkov, we signed him, we brought him over, and we played him. It didn't work out. Stuff happens. But it was not remotely a "sold" pick. It was traded for player rights that we wanted and used.

BTW, don't check now, but the player selected with the #49 pick has not seen 1/3 of the floor time that Sasha saw in his first season alone.

Congrats on having an opinion, but you were still wrong.

Cap - I asked in the Jalen thread, we'll get a TPE out of this right? So at minimum we converted a second round pick that was "never coming to USA" into useful NBA contract play money?

Yeah, we should. There is still some question about how Toronto is going to structure the deal, I'm not sure how much difference that will make. But since TPE can't be combined, the maximum size it could be would be about $6M I think. It's a thing, but it's not a big thing.

If the Reggie Jackson trade is a market indicator, those 6 million dollars are worth at least three unprotected second round picks!!!!

With the new apron rules teams may want a buy out player and in order to get it have to move salary and could include picks in such a deal. I think the things are historically useless but it’s a new era.

I beg to differ. You stated, " It didn't work out." So as I stated, when I wrote the post years ago, the Kings received 1.75 million. What else do they have now?

Kings trade: Davion Mitchell, Sasha Vezenkov, salary paid in 23-24 of $6,658,536 and two second round picks. How did that all work out?

No, your entire argument was that we "sold" the pick - that Sasha's rights were nothing more than vaporware. That argument was wrong.

true but you can’t dismiss the Kings have repeatedly traded picks of all sorts to save money and on questionable players who haven’t stuck with the team.

It had more to do with available roster spots and Monte was able to sign the guys he wanted as non drafted.

Gee this means spending money on Duarte

your theory that they aren't willing to spend money doesn't hold up.
