[Rumor] Jake Fisher: Raptors ‘still intrigued’ by Domantas Sabonis

If not Poeltl it would likely have to be a 4 for 1: Barrett, Ogbaji, Dick and Temple.

I think RJ is ok, but I’m not totally convinced him and a first is better for the Kings than just keeping Sabonis. The Raptors want Sabonis because they think their wing/guard defense can make up for him on that end and his offense takes them to another level, especially in the half court. Why don’t WE just build a proper team around him? Barrett/Hunter/Keegan would have been awesome between Fox and Sabonis but not sure about it now

The reality is unfortunately that flexibility is > than Domas at this point.

This seems to be the Chris Haynes interview. Good for Perry to hold out for FRP. They better include CMB if they don't want to give FRP.

Trying to understand this.
Amick says Kings not taking Poeltl under any circumstance
Haynes says hold up is a 1st instead of a 2nd

So basically whats being offered is
Kings out: Sabonis
Kings in: barrett, Ochai, 2nds

Toronto out: Barrett, Poeltl, Ochai, 1sts, 2nds
Toronto in: Sabonis

3rd team (Memphis?) In: Poeltl, 2 1sts
3rd team out: Nothing?

So Kings want those 2nds to be a 1st? I swear if we end up saving money + getting no bad long term contracts + getting a 1st.. I will forgive Perry for f'ing up Keon. This would be a home run for Sac. Opens up a ton of flexibility and gets an extra 1st.

I'm just going to assume Poetl isn't a part of this

-edit, fortunately that looks the case.

I don't mind RJ and some enders and some 2nds, but Domas doesn't deserve to stick through our needed tanking process. Perry seems to believe in Barrett and we have some youth ready to go

Don’t we already have flexibility? 100 mil is coming off the books next year between Lavine/Deebo//Hunter.

Yeah, but the fact is the Kings still have big and some bad money on the books. Monk, Domas, and Keegan alone make up more than 50% of their cap in a year where they'll have space. Not ideal considering that means bleeding all talent around them.

Yep, people think RJ is a nothing burger, but he's really not. There is talent and productivity there. The thing is if the Kings can't get value in terms of a superstar package, having a brief and not long term damaging side step if it involves actual talent isn't the worst thing. RJ, Hunter, and Keegan is at worst interesting.
 
I have zero interest in Barrett. Another injury prone scorer who doesn't contribute to winning. The exact prototype of player the Kings have been fixated on and never learn from.

Sabonis should be commanding two firsts and if they're offering less than that, keep him. I'm fed up with the Kings getting bent over a barrell by every team in the league. Screw them, keep him at this point.
