I think you could add Monk, DDR, LaVine, Russ (if you found a way to make the money work) to pretty much any contender bench and it would.make it better. Just got to flip them across the league
The problem is which contenders have that much dead money to send out for any of those guys. I think Schroder might be the most valuable of the bunch. 2 years under 15 million, and then a 3rd year at 4.5 million guaranteed. He is a top tier proven backup lead guard. Could easily find 5 good teams who could use the player + scrape together that much salary.

Gets really hard when you start talking DeRozan, nearly impossible with Lavine.

As well as Detroit is playing, they don't really have a starting point guard. Shroder seemed to fit pretty well with them last season

DDR for Kuminga seems inevitable
 
Trading Keegan for AD is definitely a bad idea.

Trading Keegan? Absolutely should be considered. He isn’t ever going to be *that* guy.
AD is going back to the Lakers for Hacimuara and other filler like Vincent so the NBA can create some buzz once the shine of the new season wears off and help out LeRoid for like the 15th time in his career.
 
Games 1-8: 3-5, average margin -3.5 points (best: +5 worst: -13)
Games 9-16: 0-8, average margin -23.4 points (best: -13 worst: -41)

There has been a *very obvious* step change in our performance starting in game 9. The probability that our scores would get randomly distributed like that is about 1 in 10000 (yes I did the monte carlo) so it's not random. Something happened, and everything went in the tank. What that was, I have no idea, but it would seem that the team has given up, and it happened sometime between 11/5 and 11/7.
 
Whatever is happening with DeMar and the Kings currently being 3-13 are both unrelated.
Other than DeMar breaking the Kings. I was onboard with it but holy hell. I can't be sold that Domas is the problem as long as this guy is around.

I pretty much said right before the season that if the team didn't get off to a good start, the vets would quit early in the season and we're seeing it now. I guess I just didn't think they would collectively be as bad as they are and give up as hard as they have.
