[NBA] 2024 Free Agency mega-thread

Yeh some of those teams can out bid us but it depends on how aggressive they want to be. Does Indiana want to spend that kind of money? Do the Spurs want to start winning next year or have one more development year? How high did Danny have Carter on his board? Carter, Kev, 2 firsts and a swap might be the highest bid. Unlikely, but you never know
Delon Wright to Bucks.

Carter has immensely more value for the Kings than other teams. Carter fell to 13, if teams were clamouring for him their best deal was likely made on draft night. What we do know is some of the Kings notable trade options at the time were pushed out the window when Carter was there. If you want to see Carter as a trade asset, good, hold onto him, play him and wait for a game changing move. Look at Hali for instance. On draft night, or shortly thereafter there's no way you can land a player like Domas for him. Teams will have to see something first. Otherwise you will have to probably put a stupidly valuable deal that might alter your future chances.
And another reason why this year might not be a "run it back" issue even if they "run it back". Teams right in the vicinity of the Kings are either getting worse, or not much better. And the ones not getting much better, are only getting older. If Monte can slash Huerter and Barnes off his cap sheet for 2025, or even a good chunk, with the new TV deal in place potentially increasing the cap up, Monte could actually have cap space to work with. Stay the course and cut some salary Monte if you can't land a star for cheap.
Keeping Monk, matters a ton. Full season of Keon and if Carter is a massive upgrade on Davion? All good things, but not sure if that equates to "better"
Like so far, the moves have been borderline perfect. But we just can't go into next year with HB and Huerter. That much was clear from last season. You got to find a way to flip at least one for something.

Barnes maybe you can. Huerter is an issue. If he's beating out Monk, Keon, and Carter for minutes something is either really wrong, or the Kings are back to their playoff year form, haha.
If Monte can get expirings for Huerter and Barnes, it's feasible with the rumored cap increase that he could have upwards of 40+ million in space come the 2025 offseason.

Right, I absolutely wouldn’t mind moving HB/Huerter plus SOME draft assets for a good wing/forward but I also wouldn’t mind playing the waiting game and seeing what happens in season when pieces start coming available and there are only like two or three other teams in the conference capable of going for them.
I'm very much willing to bet on our top 6. Carter and Keon is such a massive defensive boost to what we started last season with, it's not even funny. And just the perfect archetypes to surround our top 4 USG offensive cornerstones. Bet on a Keon leap, bet on Keegan leap, Carter should be very impactful as a rookie. All good things.
I just don't see where you slot HB and Huerter into this. Was apparent last season when Monk and Keegan took a leap forward; their value plummeted because they weren't feature offensive pieces. And both of them need shots, since that's their primary value on the floor.
