The Kings boxed themselves in. Should have traded him last year. Even for peanuts if he wasn't in their plans. They can't get more value this year by benching him.

I mean what was he supposed to do? The only reason Monte was able to find any deal of value for Bjeli, who was also having a catastrophically bad shooting season was precisely because he waited until the last possible minute to trade him. And of the dude is pouting the entire time, it’s probably for the best to send him home anyways.

Have no problems with the Kings hoping to see a contract year Bagley rehab his value. They gave him the runway, he didn’t earn his minutes. Still has a full year to do so.

I get it. There is a communication problem somewhere though. Too many players leaving this team irritated with how they were handled on their way out by coaching or management.
Have to assume that either they are concerned about his knee or that he isn't meeting the defensive expectations (or both). I am sure if he did what he was asked he'd crack the rotation, just playing him because he was a high pick 3+ years ago at this point is not doing anyone favors.
He started 42 of the available 43 games last season. I am tired of hearing how it's anyone's fault but his. I hope he can turn it around but honestly he's probably going to wind up signing the reduced QO and out of the league.
Two players with big connections to Vlade plus our complete garbage #2 overall.

Ironically getting stuck in that lower tier QO category might be better for the long term health of his career.
I have to assume Cousins fired a few agents since he left Sac?

On the surface this makes sense. But there were enough people that didn't think sticking Marvin in the corner was going to be in his best interest.
I stated many times in the past that the Kings have to choose between Marvin and Holmes and whoever isn't chosen has to go. It should have been clear from the start.
I want to say it would be his first wake up call but that's also what I thought would happen with WCS and frankly I'd rather have WCS at this moment.

Not Monte’s guys.
This is fair but I don't think Marvin is going to succeed as a center. Although his best shot would be on this new team with DM.

welp Schwartz made the decision for us. Ty to him lol
My point here is that the people with the big complaints against Monte might be PO'd because they were given big promises by Vlade. Plus Marvin.
Bogi asked out*, we made a great deal for him, and they appear to have blown it up.
*eta - maybe that's wrong, but he was talking to Giannis about going to MIL and happy to move there until ATL offered even more.
Have to disagree with almost all of your post. Bogi and the Bucks effed up, Bjelica acted like a diva and he really isn’t that good, and Marvin and his camp can kick rocks. Monte is on top of things

Tell me about these deals?
My twitter is overrun by the Timbers and Thorns sending out ST renewal letter/survey today. Bagley is my good humor.
It's almost like you have to prove yourself in the league before you get to act like a petulant child and win the news day.

I think it’s odd as well, and frankly a little shady. When I saw all those caveats as it pertained to a QA next year, had a feeling something like this might happen.

Nobody is going to trade for him (other than a complete flyer) when they know he’s not going to get the qualifying offer from the kings at the end of the year. He’ll be an unrestricted free agent and likely can be had for cheap. The only hope is as a throw in with Buddy to get salaries to work.
