No way we win that game or any game Sabonis is out without him.

We have him for three playoff runs. THREE. On a really nice deal.
Love it.
Love it.

He's a bigger presence and a lot more effective than Pollard was

Legit starting quality center, arguably the best backup center or at least top 5 in the league. Will be big for us with Sabonis likely out for a bit.

Ok I'll bite.
What grade would you now give Monte for his trade deadline?

I have thought we brought in and improved our roster and now we have talent 9 or 10 deep.
I would grade the effort to improve our roster a B
And I would grade my expectations a C with the hope with time it’s really at lest a B

Just saying but when watching him play, he looks a lot more like Blazers Sabas than Domas does. You can't teach huge.

It's becoming a lot easier to understand just what helped make those New Orleans Pelican teams so good in the regular season when even semi-healthy.

With some of the "rumors" involving clarity by certain people, it gives Monte a lot of options moving forward. A lot.

Are you hinting even Domas could be expandable?

If you can get a Jonas level C instead of Sabonis (which the Kings have)on a significantly lower salary and a PG or SF Allstar level player becomes available you would probably pull the trigger imo would you not? If Jonas were in the 24-28 years old range it would be a no brainer but it's a bit tougher with him getting past the 30's i guess
Factoring in playoffs there statistics are very similar with Jonas being more effective on a much larger sample size.

Imagine how he could box out with a special puffer fish defense.

What IF the KINGS had Jonas all season? How many more wins might they have?
Seeing his impact since the trade really shows how much this team was missing beforehand. Same goes for LaRavia too, just at a different level.

We'd be 63-0.
