DAL - SAC (Porzingis & Hield)

[twslam07]

---------------------------------------------------

DAL Gets: Buddy Hield, Marvin Bagley, & Tristan Thompson
DAL Gives: Kristaps Porzingis, Dwight Powell, & Trey Burke
Why for DAL? Factoring in Doncic's super max, the Mavs would go from about $21.75 mil cap space in the 2022 offseason to about $47.25 mil cap space. This allows them to add a max FA next to Doncic, Hield, Green, & Terry in an effort to try and build a contender around Doncic. Hield would also fit nicely as Doncic would be able to take advantage of teams collapsing on him and find Hield for easy looks. They also take a flyer on Bagley to see if there is anything there and Thompson is an expiring replacement for Powell.

PG - Brunson / Terry
SG - Hield / Green
SF - Doncic
PF - Finney-Smith / Bagley
C - Kleber / Thompson / Cauley-Stein

--------------------------------------------------

SAC Gets: Kristaps Porzingis, Dwight Powell, & Trey Burke
SAC Gives: Buddy Hield, Marvin Bagley, & Tristan Thompson
Why for SAC? Kings take a chance on Porzingis' health to try and add a talent upgrade to the roster that also balances the team. Porzingis' ability to space the floor, score, and protect the rim would be a solid fit next to Fox, Haliburton, Barnes, & Holmes.

PG - Fox / Mitchell / Burke
SG - Haliburton / Ramsey
SF - Barnes / James
PF - Porzingis / Woodard
C - Holmes / Powell / Queta / Metu / Jones

---------------------------------------------------


*If the Kings could sign someone Otto Porter with the MLE, they could actually have a pretty solid 8 man rotation of Fox-Haliburton-Barnes-Porzingis-Holmes-Mitchell-Porter-Powell

I would do it even though I’m annoyed with the Zinger

 

[The_Jamal]

Yeah I'd absolutely gamble on Kristaps and honestly I think the gamble isn't performance related, but just if he can stay healthy. I think he's an awesome fit with Holmes as a defensive front-line and he'd be a great piece to make the 3-guard lineup work.

If they wanted Barnes back (instead of Bagley) to get 2 core rotation pieces next to Luka, do you take that deal still?

Battery life of 7+ fters with injuries ain’t long. KP breaks down after a half a year running with Fox, so that’s a no go. Doubt Holmes is re-signed as well.

The risk is mitigated considering the package we’re giving up.

No thanks. That's a big gamble of a contract with Porzingis. It's not only his health, he hasn't looked as promising as he did before.

I'm pretty sure on significantly less salary, Buddy will suit up and still be a pretty good volume 3 point scorer. Also Buddy's contract declines. If we don't get a decent offer I'd rather hold him and figure it out later.

Have you watched him post injury? Dude won’t last half a season running with Fox.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

He's terrible and can't get along with his teammate no thanks.

 

[63royals]

Porzingis? No way.

 

[Tobiou]

With a three year/100 million contract and two bad legs only a deep pockets team can take the risk with Porzingis. Like the Nets. Not the + cash considerations teams. Kings should keep Buddy if the right trade does not materialize.

 

[OffTheWallJamal]

Give me Porzingis to the Kings and I will personally tell him to play good when I see him next time.

But on a serious note. And yes I might be a little biased talking about KP because he is the first true LAT basketball superstar in my lifetime.

But what I wanted to say, yes he has had injury history, but those reports that he doesn't get along with teammates are just not true, he gets along very well with his international mates, all the former Knicks teammates loved him, there was no problem with that in Dallas, the reports coming out with him and Doncic might be because he was frustrated (it's not a secret) that he wasn't involved in plays at all in Dallas last season in the 2nd half, but he is saying all the right things to the media, he is a very smart young man and who works his ass of this offseason. Because for the first time since 2017 he is heading in the offseason injury free.

Just get next to him some kind of a rebounder who can play at the 4, even though KP is not a awful rebounder himself and everything will be good. Imagine that spacing for Fox and Hali with KP at the 5!

 

[Chupacabra]

If I am trading Hield then in return I want a valuable player with zero health issues. Buddy is a guy that is ready to go practically every single game.

 

[ppine]

Buddy is ready to throw the ball away and play bad defense at the drop of a hat.
