Well yeah, but we know it's not going to happen. We know they should blow this team up, suck, give Hali/Mitchell a chance to run the show but they're going to insist on pushing for the 8 seed. I think Collins at least gives them a reasonable upside player with meat on the bone that should fit offensively like a glove and is signed long-term. Probably the best hedge I see available.
Blow It Up
- Thread starter SLAB
- Start date
We shall see but if the word on Monte is true he's not looking for picks, and with the mess he's created with Buddy, he needs to get out of it, not go totally overboard on value if this is the best deal out there. Someone with direct ties to one of your core guys and busting up a huge chunk of salary. Good enough if that magic deal isn't out there. And it likely ain't.
I still think trading Fox is going to look like a **** move in a few seasons. He ends up on a franchise that knows how to build a team, with a good coach, and he's gonna kill it. That franchise isn't the Kings unfortunately.
I'd prefer a rebuilding package back vs a treadmill move. But it is what it is. Vivek wants that 9th/10th in the West spot.

Well, weren't the Celtics offering a pick last season for Barnes. Lakers are back to pursuing Buddy per recent rumors.
I'm not expecting a top 10 unprotected pick back or anything, but if McNair had a green light I'm sure there's playoff teams in "win now" mode who'd be willing to trade youth/future picks for players we have. Barnes, Holmes, heck even Buddy would all have value to a team trying to push over the top.
And why wouldn't I blame Vivek? The exact same stupid crap has been happening year after year since he took over. I'll always blame Vivek.

I’m with you.
Collins seems like he could be had for a reasonable package of assets, he fits the age-arc better than some of the other prominent names we have heard, he would be a good fit with his skill set, and is locked up for 4 more seasons under what appears to be a market-value contract.

I believe Vivek tanked the Boston trade last year. But at some point Monte needs to stand up and tell Vivek what every person in the world can see…. This team isn’t one move away…. Previous tinkering has only made the team worse.
if Monte continuous on this path it stops being a Vivek problem and Monte starts to own it.

We talk about having enough shooting floor spacing etc but is Memphis providing us with another path? They have a lane clogging tradition non shooting Center, a poor shooting PF (JJJ), an average or slightly below shooting SF, a good shooting guard and an average shooting star point guard. I am talking about the 3 ball and this is the starting lineup. They do have bench guys that can shoot. 35-17
