De'Aaron Fox Traded to Spurs for Zach Lavine, three first round picks

[funkykingston]

He has like $100M left on his deal and they're in a rebuild.

Well, NOW they are. But since the summer they've now traded DeRozan, LaVine, and Caruso and the most valuable thing they've gotten back is their own 2025 draft pick that was used to get DeRozan in the first place. Unless you're super high on Josh Giddey, which I'm definitely not.

considering how terrible their return on the trade was (their own pick back, Tre Jones, Collins, Kevin Huerter), how terrible were the other teams’ proposals??

 

[midtowner]

Folks are under rating DeRozan being stoked about bringing LaVine onboard. If the Kings went with young players, DeRozan would have been gone. It would have been dreary up in here. Now I think the Kings can bring on 2 rotational pieces and make a run.

It might be super fun.

Screw it. We're getting that #1 seed in the conference.

It's my honest opinion she was the leak but calling her Yoko seems uncalled for

Yeah, that's uncalled for. I would have to hear her singing before I can come to any conclusion.

Please toughen up, and only eat the vegetables you like.

Will do guy, will do! Was just trying to lighten the mood a bit, we are Kings fans we aint dead!

The Eastern conference?

Sean Cunningham just said he’s pretty confident there are 2 more moves coming, “at least 1 for sure.” Made it sound like they are done, just waiting for them to be finalized.

If the Kings can overtake the current #1 seed in Eastern conference that is winning at .800, why not?

 

[macadocious]

Cunningham was surprisingly quiet during the Fox stuff. He usually has his pulse on stuff.

Seems very sure of it. Usually can tell pretty easily when a guy is BSing or not

he was very confident, and he has legit sources. But we’ve seen things like this in the past and they fell apart for whatever reason. He did hint it’s for draft capital and it’s for guys they’ve been connected to in the past.

Yeah, the insider guys normally don't like to throw out the guarantee like that, unless they know for certain. If they're BSing or aren't super sure, they'll dance around the response. Him being like "One deal is for sure done, they're just waiting for chips to fall" is pretty telling.

ok that’s weird. Sean doesn’t sound like he is describing fringe depth pieces. He is sorta hinting at a player that would require a first round pick or significant amount of seconds. We don’t have the salary to trade for Cam or John. Who makes 16 mil or less and is worth a first round pick? Portis in the exception for a first and KJ Martin for Lyles and picks? I don’t think Portis is worth a first given his contract situation… hmm who else?

Yeah, could be we're just sending all our 2nds out for a couple rotation guys. Or maybe we are paying the first round tag for Bob Williams? Draft capital for PJW?

 

[TheMobb]

KJ Martin could possibly be one of the guys coming

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

I wouldn't be surprised if they traded Carter

Something with Trey? Seems the only non starter with salary that isn’t on rookie scale

yeh if it’s two moves it would have to be

Depends on who is coming back.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

That kinda goes without saying. Clearly they've not giving him up for just average filler

Followed by...



Case in point. You've been doing this kind of thing for at least a week. It won't be ignored anymore.

Your not a kings fan what are you talking about? You said this

 

[iowamcnabb]

This is my official prediction:

Kuzma & Jonas to Bucks for Kris Middleton and Delon Wright

Portis to Kings in TPE. Multiple seconds outgoing for Kings

KJ Martin for Lyles and 1 second

 

[Tetsujin]

do it Monte

If you weren't excited after I spent 24 hours blasting the org you're gonna love him after I interview someone you've never heard of from the Locked On network out of Chicago!

LOL

Hmm, Bobby Portis having the PO is a little scary. Jval on the value deal for 2 more seasons is so dang appealing, even if he doesn't have Portis versatility to go to the 4
