Hopefully they sign Westbrook or Brogdon so they can push Carter down to 4th on the depth chart.

I agree with the contract deal but Highsmith had like a 0.1 VORP compared to Keon's 1.9. That's a pretty substantial difference in impact. Keon's offensive efficiency is elite amongst 3&D players. I'd like to see what it could be with an uptick in usage. He really needs to go into this season...

Wait, they're facing Schroder tonight? Hopefully the guys bring their A game for this one! -nobody

We got younger by dumping Jonas for Saric!

You're correct but I just can't bring myself to see the benefit of it on a macro level. It's kind of like getting excited to see the opportunity to see Greivis Vasquez hit Ryan Hollins on a roll. In the end, does it matter?

That's kinda the rub here. If our current players can't yield us equal players or potential future prospects/picks in a trade and the team isn't bad enough to really compete for the #1 draft spot, then that basically leaves no real serious opportunities to get better.

I can sleep easy knowing we're in good hands if we ever run into a situation where Bagley and Holmes need to be manhandled on the boards again.

Talent might be downgraded but the culture continues to skyrocket.

It looks like a back end of the lottery, waste of time to me. Just a rinse and repeat of the Cousins days. The young player development will be decent but the ability to acquire talent will be hamstrung.

The first "Predict the Kings record over the next 10 games" post will ensure that never happens lol

My point was that this guy who is barely a league average PG, if that, isn't going to come in and change the culture when you have all stars and hall of famers on the roster who are all 5x better than he is.

Yeah as if Lavine, DDR and Sabonis are like "Oh damn, Schroder got signed? We better up our defensive intensity"

If they're going to rebuild, then rebuild. Get rid of most the veterans, let the young guys get minutes, get a high lottery pick and start rebuilding. It's going to be really irritating if they plan on rebuilding with the same strategy they used during the Cousins years. You aren't going to...

Probably working to pry Alec Burks away from the Heat in the 3 team trade so they can sufficiently block all the young players that the fans want to see play.
