I still think there’s a potential for a Huerter bounce back, and think he’s still valuable if he’s moving off the ball and teams have to chase him, even if he’s not shooting, but the guard rotation is crowded, there’s no way around that.

I’d probably add Cam Johnson to that list. To me the order depends on the asking price. Multiple picks for an all star like Lauri, Ingram, or even Randle? Sure. For someone who’s closer to a high level role player like Kuzma or Johnson? I’d try to hold out for just one. Grant is somewhere in...

Need the spider man meme with clippers and Sixers

Yeah, for better or for worse, the radio guys (Dave is just as bad) don’t see themselves as traditional journalists so they throw this kind of stuff out there. It would be nice if the Bee still had someone like Amick to do some actual reporting, but the next good scoop Jason Anderson gets will...

Taking protections off the pick would probably make it easier to send our later one(s) to the Pelicans, too

Yeah, Huerter’s probably not enough for a Wendell Carter or Brook Lopez.

I’d be happy to win a title and then be screwed.

Yeah, I used to enjoy digging into the intricacies of the CBA, but I’ve lost patience with the new one and the various aprons. I get the concept, though. If you take advantage of certain rules that apply if you are below a specific threshold, you can’t later add salary to go above that threshold.

Wonder if it’s just a short term arrangement, where he gets a guarantee higher than the MLE (which was probably what he was looking at elsewhere), and the pacers retain an asset, but they have the option to move him to a different team down the line.

The official release includes the player picked at 45 and the 2025 second. https://www.nba.com/kings/news/sacramento-kings-acquire-jalen-mcdaniels

If Sasha was determined to go back to Europe, shouldn’t the Kings have been able to get him to agree to just walk away from his contract rather than paying to dump it?

Basketball reference has Lyles at center in 17% of his minutes last season, and I seem to remember calls here for him to play more center, but these are both admittedly imperfect sources at best. Either way, I don’t expect to see much of Lyles at center this year, so perhaps there’s an argument...

To me, a lot of the direction in free agency depends on what you can expect from Coach Brown. Will he still start Barnes over Marshall or another MLE-level forward? Will he actually play Lyles at center? Is there really thought about playing Sabonis at the 4, even though we’ve seen very little...

Summer league is going to feature a Boogie and an Isaiah. Are there any Rudys out there available to complete the Big 3?

Ok, now need Jalen Smith to join him for the Kings new rec spec squad.

That’s basically a first. Gross.

I get this to some degree. It does feel like it would be selling low on Huerter to trade him now, as he could easily bounce back next season. Barnes, on the other hand, seems to be on a steady decline. Yes, the backcourt is crowded at the moment, but I think Huerter can swing to SF just fine. In...

Will be really interesting to see what the dynamic is with teams having more time to plan for the second round. It was already turning into a free agency like situation with agents trying to force their way to certain teams based on contract arrangements. Will there be more of that with more time?

So do Mitch Richmond and Kevin Martin

I was prepared for him to go at 12, in classic fashion, so at least we are spared that heartbreak.
