    [Rumor] Clippers Could Acquire 6x All-Star To Upgrade Their Bench Scoring

    I’d do it as well. They all expire in 2 years at the least (same as DeRozan) and you could also save the same amount of money the following offseason if you were to release DeRozan. The only difference is we wouldn’t have $10 mil in dead salary from DeRozan. That $10 mil would be tied to...

    [Trade] Warriors have obvious Jonathan Kuminga trade demand after latest Kings reports

    That proposal also wouldn’t hamstring our ability to offer up future 1sts either via the Stepien rule so that’s an interesting/smart way to construct the offer. I’m fine with that price considering Carter is not being included. As for taking back Hield or Moody, I don’t think that is necessary...

    Potential Free Agent/Trade/Sign Tracker, '25-'26 Season

    I think you completely missed the point of my post but that seems to be a recurring theme unfortunately… Me echoing the rumored trade proposal (Monk/Carter/+ for Kuminga) is not me advocating for that trade. It’s me simply stating what is rumored and how that ties in with the Westbrook rumor...

    Potential Free Agent/Trade/Sign Tracker, '25-'26 Season

    The only way it makes sense is if Monk & Carter are moved in that rumored Kuminga deal. If DeRozan is also shipped out, the minutes could be distributed like this… PG - Schroder (28) / Westbrook (20) SG - LaVine (22) / Ellis (26) SF - Murray (16) / LaVine (12) / Clifford (20) PF - Kuminga (34)...

    Potential Free Agent/Trade/Sign Tracker, '25-'26 Season

    Assuming Monk & Carter are moved for Kuminga, it seems like DeRozan would have to be moved as a follow-up move. For starters, DeRozan has always been resistant to coming off the bench, but if we trade for Kuminga are we really going to bring Murray or Kuminga off the bench? Absolutely not IMO...

    Potential Free Agent/Trade/Sign Tracker, '25-'26 Season

    ------------------------------ MIL Gets: DeMar DeRozan MIL Gives: Kyle Kuzma & Tyler Smith Why for MIL? With Lillard hurt/gone, the Bucks don't have a powerful scorer behind Giannis. DeRozan gives them just that and can help keep the team afloat while Giannis is resting. PG - Anthony / Porter...

    [Game] [VSL Game 4] Kings vs. Cavaliers. 7/16/2025 12:30 Pacific, 3:30 Eastern (ESPN 2)

    Well…he doesn’t…unless there is another move made. Have you seen people on this forum claim that he’ll get minutes if our roster remains as is? I haven’t but perhaps I’m wrong. Look, it’s the middle of July. Training camp starts at the beginning of October. 2.5 months is A LOT of time. Let’s...

    [News] Kings trade Jonas to Denver for Saric

    Actually, I think Saric/Carter/2nds would still be doable when thinking about it some more. Saric can’t be aggregated for 2 months so it would just mean that this trade wouldn’t be able to formally go through until mid-September. That’s still plenty of time before the season starts and perhaps...

    [News] Kings trade Jonas to Denver for Saric

    I think it had more to do with allowing the Kings to use the MLE to sign Schroder while staying under the luxury tax but ai could be wrong. Of course, we ended up turning it into a S&T for Schroder and got an extra 2nd round pick, but I think shedding Valanciunas gave Perry more...

    [News] Kings trade Jonas to Denver for Saric

    I mean they are both technically doable because Kuminga’s hypothetical new salary is not decided yet. I think things are a bit more complicated now compared to when I sat down and did the math awhile ago because we have executed a S&T already which I believe hard caps us at some level. But...

    [News] Kings trade Jonas to Denver for Saric

    I did the math awhile back, but the number is escaping me right now. Long story short….a DeRozan for Kuminga S&T would require Kuminga to get a VERY HEFTY payday to make the salaries work and thus make the trade legal. And I think most of us would agree that we don’t want Kuminga at some absurd...

    [News] Kings trade Jonas to Denver for Saric

    If this is formally official, that makes the Saric/Carter/2nds offer for Kuminga an illegal trade. If we still want Kuminga, it’d have to be a different framework to get the money to match.

    [Game] [VSL Game 2] Kings vs. Bulls, 7/12/2015 5pm Pacific 8pm Eastern (NBATV)

    Carter does not need to able to run a team from the point to be successful. That’s a luxury. Not a necessity for his future success.

    Well I actually said to keep him in this PG role the entirety of the SL so I think we’re in agreement ;)
