Kings trading pick!

[sidney]

I'm guessing this is the Parker / RJ move. It's the biggest splash and has the highest hopes for the immediate big boost. This has the Maloof's written all over it. I'll reserve judgement until I see what else is involved.

 

[Vlade4GM]

This doesn't sound good to me.

Sign and trades wont work because you cant negotiate with players yet and there is going to be a lockout with a new CBA so the S&T terms wouldnt even be clear.

Ah I figured I spoke too soon .. my imagination got the better of me

I'm pretty sure the Kings are just trading down to grab Fredette at a better spot.

Well you essentially aid that no one with any basketball IQ would do it. So I guess that means if Petrie does it, he has no basketball IQ.

I've backed Petrie for a very long time. He's made missteps as anyone in his position would, but on the whole I think he is a very good GM. But I would absolutely NOT support him making that move. Mediocre, vastly overpaid SF, aging PG with a recent injury history and a TON of miles on his legs and giving up nearly all the team's caproom to do it.

If Dalembert really wants out it hamstrings the team's ability to sign a replacement after locking up Thornton. There's no part of that rumor that appeals to me.

That move would reek of desperation and instant gratification.

I live in San Antonio now and have not heard anything on the radio news today about Parker..

 

[=LarryLegend=]

If Kings trade for Parker/RJ they better be trading Cisco and Beno!! RJs 30mil.....yikes!!!

The boys say hi

That's about right, actually. They know they can't have another losing season right now.

Atlanta is rumored to want a draft pick and cap relief. So that may mean Josh Smith, but that's a lot of cap space for the Kings to eat up. He also has a trade bonus clause which increases his contract for the remaining years after a trade.

Based on what, may I ask?

 

[Vlade4GM]

I think I'd be okay with Josh Smith, although his contract is huge and he's a low hoop IQ guy.

I am worried about Josh Smith and Cuz....

Smith is rumored to be a knucklehead.

 

[cuad]

I just can't imagine not getting Fredette.

Thats how I'm approaching Smith too. Big contract, but he's tough, great defender and rebounder ... bad shooter, but with him, Dally, Cousins, and Evans on the court at the same time ..we would be huge and just murder teams on the glass. Too bad he's a knucklehead though .. influence on Cousins could be costly.

I'd prefer Parker and Iggy over Smith, but Smith would be much better than Felton, Andre Miller, Eric Maynor, ect..

 

[rainmaker]

Smith is being rumored to go to Minn, not here.

 

[UK_King]

Andre Miller is surely a no no i know we need vets but how old is he? 37 or something.

 

[swisshh]

If it was the Spurs trade, I think the Kings would have to start denouncing the rights to guys like Jackson and Jeter to signal their intended cap. (I'm not sure, no wiz on this stuff.)

AHAHH... I can't wait to know..

 

[Dime Dropper]

Less than a minute ago, Givony tweets...

Here comes the first "mock draft grenade" I'm hearing. And its a big one. Waiting for confirmation...

Could it be about the Kings?

 

[RookieOfTheDay]

35 but that's still too old to trade a lottery pick for unless you're talking 35 year old Nash or Kidd.

 

[rainmaker]

Damnit I'm nervous!!! Can't get anything done today!

I think this is pretty much going to be it. Better to keep the hopes as low as possible. Expect the 7th + Garcia for Sessions, and anything else is a bonus. A crappy, brown, stupid bonus, but a bonus nonetheless.

So let's say we traded the #7 plus Casspi for TP & RJ, will we not know until Stern comes up to announce the 7th pick and he says "There has been a trade...." Will he be the one who says what the trade is?

What if it were Parker for Casspi, the 7, and Beno?

Someone posted this on twitter.

Per Bruce Drennan- Cavs deal with Sacramento is Sessions+32+cash for 7+Garcia . Cavs could take Thompson at 7

Bruce Drennan is a Sportscaster from Cleveland. don't know if its true.

 

[PurpleHaze]

How about Golden State's Monta Ellis to Kings for #7 and Thornton (plus maybe Garcia or Udrih)? Kings get W's #11 which is one pick before Utah at #12 (where they have Fredette targeted) which allows Sac to still get Jimmer or even possibily Leonard. Yippee!
