Jonas Valanciunas - KING

[NewArena]

OMFG HELL YEA!!! Shout out to Sean Cunningham lol he had it all along i suspect

 

[iowamcnabb]

Also, this does prove I am Monte McNair. I leaked this here last night

nice try, Wes.

Monte McNair you jackass. Traded for the one center I didn't want, and you traded a young wing prospect to get him. I'm sick

someone might want to check on this guy, seems like he's in a real bad spot

My thought too. I mean, I was all aboard the Timelord train, but he would have cost more to get and is always an injury risk. At minimum the Kings needed someone capable so that we can reduce Domas' minutes. Valunciunas can absolutely do that.

It's two second-round picks to Washington for Jonas Valanciunas, sources said. Denver was very much involved in pursuing the big man from the Wizards, as were the Suns in Phoenix's efforts to find a new home for Jusuf Nurkic. https://t.co/iWaPS9dvz7

Kings never make any moves!

Honestly never thought I'd say this but I'd probably rather talk politics on the hellsite than Kings there right now.

 

[cwebb2002]

No one other than the kings get a rebound EVAAAAAAR! ALL YOUR REBOUNDS ARE BELONG TO US!

 

[Hoovtrain]

F yeah!

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

There's your backup center.

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Now go get Bruce Brown as a buyout next week. Masai can do us a favor for all those seconds he got

Ben Simmons or Brown

 

[est.1999]

This guy is averaging 11.5 and 8.2 in 20 minutes a game.

 

[Rain man]

I credit Matt George and the local media. Definitely doesn't happen without the hard questions they asked today...

 

[Tetsujin]

Did not realize the dude has a 7’6” wingspan. Why the hell is Domas so stubby then?

 

[iowamcnabb]

By the way. Sean has to move to the top of the list of actual insiders

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

sactiwndog = sactowndog's evil twin brother??

Are we sure that sactiwndog is the evil one?

 

[PurpleHaze]

Jonas definitely upgrade over Len.

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Still don't think the Kings are done.

Sacramento is using most of their $12.8M non-tax mid-level exception to acquire the $9.9M salary of Jonas Valanciunas.

Sources tell ESPN that the Kings are sending a 2028 Denver second (if 34-60) and their own second in 2029 to Washington.

The Denver second was acquired from…

Very good, we kept the CHA 2nds. DEN 2nd is w/e and our's is w/e

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Sabonis better not play over 32 minutes again

 

[GWD]

OK, that's a Wow. Can't say much more. Well, maybe another WOW!

Domas is pretty good. Lol

And Monte didn't blow his TPE. The MLE and TPE are still on the table for next season.

 

[Jdbraver137]

Well we have some huge screeners.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Jonas definitely upgrade over Len.

Expect him to be sent out for wing help next.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

So we traded Fox, Huerter, and one of our own second round picks for Lavine and Valenciunas, a couple first round picks, and a couple second round picks if I understand that correctly.

That's a great trade.

 

[Tetsujin]

Yep. That 16.8 should be useful in the offseason.

 

[SacTownKid]

Well we have some huge screeners.

The Kings did actually get bigger at this deadline with both LaVine and Jonas.

 

[Tetsujin]

Expect him to be sent out for wing help next.

Who the hell gonna trade a wing for Ukrainian Jerome James?

 

[The_Jamal]

Opposing bigs are not going to look forward to playing us.

I think Lyles could on the chopping block here. Have no need for the small-ball 5 versatility anymore, you have your back-up big spot covered now and he's your one contract to go find a role player wing.

Trey and the Charlotte pick to the Hornets for the other Martin twin?
