Terrible Kings trades proposed by the internet super thread 2024/2025 edition

I don't want to trade Keegan but I'd argue that even as bad as his shooting has been he's continued to show growth in his game. I really think he's being overworked and if he went to a team with a little more balanced roster construction he'd probably quickly get his shot back and make us look dumb.

I think part of it is also one of those things where if Keegan were drafted 14th he'd be considered a great pick. Being 1-4 is always one of those things where if you aren't a star fans will crap all over it just because. Keegan has developed into a highly productive role player and that's essentially his role since he's rarely going to shoot more than 10-12 shots in any given game.

The Blazers getting a 1st outright will surprise me. The team getting Grant would have to be desperate or it would have be a highly conditional pick like the one the Kings gave to Atlanta.

Ya saw on realgm someone posted The Athletic trade article it’s saying Grant value is a second. I’ll say this

Yeah I made a proposal during the off-season that was something like…

Kevin Huerter
Trey Lyles
Keegan Murray
Jalen McDaniels

for

Jerami Grant
Deni Avdija
Jabari Walker

Her proposal essentially dropped Avdija from the trade (which was the most valuable asset coming back to us).

I doubt Portland trades Avdija right after giving up assets for him

And yet I'd still say he'd go 4-5 in the draft based on his current production, Jalen Williams has made a huge leap, Shaeden Sharpe looks like he could play himself into the top 5. Compared to the consensus top 6 he's only behind Chet and Paolo right now.

Yeah, it's all literally just the number people look at. People never actually relate these things to reality. It's the same reason why in the eyes of fans a number 1 pick is untouchable prior to the draft but if it's a bad draft it really doesn't matter much, not all number 1 picks are equal once a player is associated with it.
