A bit lost on what I want to happen if Cauley-Stein gets nabbed by either NY or ORL. It's easy to say 'trade the pick' without knowing what any of the offers look like, but, yea. That has to be plan A if WCS if off the board. Leaning towards Porzingis, Winslow, or Mudiay, but I have issues...

Gell Well, Baja. Looking forward to your inevitable return!

I wouldn't necessarily dump Nik to move Landry. Would much rather stretch Landry, trade Ben for something valuable, and keep Nik here for one more year. See what he's got.

Yup. Matthews is the guy. If the Kings have any shot to land him, they need to do whatever it takes to hit that shot.

Just finished the CK Pod, read this thread, and I've got to admit... James Ham's 'horrible atrocities' line made me laugh out loud. Was somebody murdered?

I'll elaborate on my Stauskas point from earlier. I didn't have all day, so my apologies for not explaining my point better, although you may disagree with me even after I explain it ... He is a 'shooting guard' in the tradition definition of the position, and I would hate to see him play...

I'll go all the way back to Jimmer. Jimmer, Robinson, McLemore, and Stauskas all had major flaws on both ends of the court. Jimmer was stuck between positions, undersized, lacked athleticism, and couldn't defend. Robinson was undersized, had limited offensive skill, and was very immature /...

I think you hit it, at least in my mind, anyway. I wouldn't count on either player for consistent offensive production, but Winslow is probably closer to something you can use offensively if his spot up shooting translates. But I'm with you and anyone else who thinks that WCS is the perfect...

If the Kings stay at 6, I'm looking at Cauley-Stein, Justise Winslow, or trade. Defense needs to be a priority. Winslow might be the best wing defender in the draft, and I have little doubt that WCS is the best interior defender. I'd prefer WCS, but if he's gone, Winslow is a decent consolation...

No brainer.

This is what you do right now. Denver will take the best offer, or they won't, but you bet they are going to leak out absurd offers through the media.

Hmmm. I wonder if the Kings have any interest in Luol Deng with the way Miami is putting everyone on the block. I might prefer Deng to Afflalo, honestly. EDIT: I see someone else already mentioned McRoberts. I would also be interested.

I'm not as worried about this just yet. Multiple reports suggest that the Kings are actively looking for a starting power forward. If Rudy Gay is our small ball four, I can live with that. A better option than Williams, certainly.

Highly doubt it, but hard to predict with a new coach and whatnot in place.

Dave knows things. If he says we should keep an eye on the Jackson talks, than we should keep an eye on the Jackson talks. Assuming Stauskas is the biggest piece the Kings would surrender, I suppose you can slide Jackson into a combo PG/SG bench gunner role, but I have a feeling the reason...

Half-baked thought ... McLemore is to much to surrender for Dragic. Stauskas is (likely) to little to surrender for Dragic. Plumlee + Dragic for McLemore and Williams. Do the Suns consider that? depends on how they view McLemore. Suns have been trying to get a 1st for Plumlee but that isn't...

Unless the Kings put McLemore out there, the Suns should have better offers for Dragic. And I can't condone putting McLemore out there when Dragic can leave after the season. Stauskas? I might take that gamble, but someone will offer something of greater value, I'd think. I'm happy to see...

I would agree with you here. Only counter point being the Kings have actually talked to the Bucks recently (if you can believe reports) with Stauskas being the player discussed. No talks between Houston that we know of. But I agree with your premise. Jones should be the easier get.

Ben's raw numbers are inflated in my opinion by the fact that he's been receiving minutes since his rookie season that he probably didn't deserve. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad the Kings are playing him, but the Kings have had the worst crop of shooting guards in the league over the last two...

Cousins has turned himself into a good enough defender that the Kings don't really need anyone to defend the 'bigger' guys, because Cousins can do that. That's my opinion, anyway. There are only a handful (and that handful is getting smaller by the minute) of guys I'd worry about Henson's ...
