I don't care about 1 SL game because Carter looked good in NBA minutes! Well, good at some things.... The shooting was crap but the defense, rebounding, ability to get in the paint, intangibles and DAWG level looked to be elite. The stuff he did on that end of the floor justifies giving him...

I'm excited for several players, especially Nique and Carter, but I get it. I'm definitely wondering how Raynaud dropped to us given his size and skill set haha

For real, I'm gonna be bummed if we trade him before we really see what he's got!

But then if he stinks we're stuck with him, as it's going to be a sign and trade IIRC. Don't get me wrong, I can see the appeal, it just doesn't appeal to me as much as others haha I'll definitely root for Kuminga and hope for the best if he ends up here!

I think Perry may be undervaluing Carter as well. He was barely healthy last season, and when he did play his counting stats were pretty meh, but eye test wise the guy popped when he was on the floor. We still have guards on guards from the Monte days though, so I guess I can't get too mad...

Why is the kid who won't buy into his role playing alongside a future 1st ballot HOFer going to suddenly "get it" when arriving in Sac of all places? I'm not too enamored with trading for Kuminga. Seems like a dummy who can occasionally score in bunches.

I think a lot of the rookies might be G-leaguers depending on how the rest of the FA/trade period goes. I will say this though: seeing the depth chart really makes me think we're in the mix for a top 5 draft pick!

When we traded Fox for a "all star" SG it sealed the fate of either Monk or Keon as a King. Both of those guys deserve 25-35 mpg but there's just not going to be enough minutes at SG with Zach in town. Personally I'd pick Keon over Monk for his defensive impact, but I'd EASILY take either of...

Hopefully! There's no way he can build a team that can compete with the top dogs of the West, maybe the middling pretenders. I'm sick of getting lapped on rebuilding by the Houstons, OKCs, San Antonios, etc of the West. I mean, even Dallas just lapped us with a rebuild but that was with a...

Haha yeah same, hence "10th tops". Perry HAS to make more moves though, so we'll see if we can break into that elite 9th in the West territory that Vivek loves so much.

Probably over half of the lEastern conference teams. We're 10th in the West tops though.

This is a solid "let's get eliminated in the play-in again" move. I would have preferred CP3 for mentorship purposes or Westbrook for an exciting tank commander, but here we are! Ho-hum move in a vacuum but let's see what else Perry does!

Can't say I blame the guy haha

I mean, if we're tanking next season I like the Westbrook fit

Totally agree, and I liked the typical Monte moves in the draft haha. A few misses but generally he did well. Not a bad thing if we have some holdovers in the scouting department or whatever.
