Jonas Valanciunas - KING

[Joshyjosh31]

Maybe trade len, but keep hands off Lyles

Ya I’m not trading Lyle’s unless we get a good wing back. Lyle’s, Len, and Doug combine to 14.5 million to take back a wing

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Probably with Lyles as main trade bait. Hopefully can keep Trey unless Monte get excellent wing in return.

I'm a huge Trey Lyles fan and he'd be a key part of our top 8 in a playoff run. Hard to replace his shooting in a big man coming off the bench. I'm hoping he uses one of the exceptions and some picks to get a lock down defensive 3-4. That gives us a pretty darn good 1-9.

I guess all Monte needed to do was hold a presser lol

Monte's reaction to Ham's question about size was great. Ham probably more upset this move takes his gripe away than happy the Kings got better

 

[NewArena]

I'm envisioning all of the offensive rebounds and wide open 3's as we speak

Let's go!

Hard to ask for a better backup center than Jonas Valančiūnas. He catapults the Kings to one of the best rebounding teams in the league.

Wow, changes the look of the front line quite a bit.

 

[SacTownKid]

Wait for Bruce Brown to get waived. Profit.

Yep, as @iowamcnabb said. The buyout market is the next best move.

 

[NME]

I’m hearing the hope is a 3&D wing for Sacramento to complete the re-tool “new look” Kings.

Dare we dream?

 

[Kingster]

Good back up for Sabonis. Not a guy you can play with Sabonis. Still waiting for the long athletic guy who can play next to Sabonis and provide some defense. We're probably getting close to three years that some voiced the need for a long athlete at the four. Normally, I'm one for patience, but my God this is ridiculous. Tick, tick, tick.....

 

[The_Jamal]

Any national team viewers on what they looked like together on the court? Especially with the new Domas 3?

 

[midtowner]

Still mad at him for what he did to Metu - but I’ll get over it once he starts protecting our guys.

Kings needed size - now the Kings have it and a ton of lineup versatility. And Len’s hands were killing me.

 

[NewArena]

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.

A lot of strange "follow the leader" discussions on that app at this point. Everyone just saying the same ole crap and parroting each other as if we just traded Luka for 1 first round pick or something lol

Now wait a damn minute

 

[Sherds]

bang!!!!..what a pick up. Domas needed some help and being they are close this is perfect pick up similar to Lavine

 

[Kingster]

It's not offense you have to worry about.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Imagine those times when both Domas and Jonas on court same time. Might be situation 4Q where Kings need rim protection, rebounding, smash mouth defense protecting tight lead leading to the W.

 

[Tetsujin]

The Kings remain extremely engaged in talks with multiple teams leading up to tomorrow’s deadline, with two more roster spots to fill and looking for wing/bench depth.

[fansinceday1]

Great trade!
Now the kings can get Domas some legit rest. It’s definitely time to pull back on his minutes.

 

[NiNetNiNe]

We got Sabonis’ best friend and DeRozan’s best friend, so we will beat teams with the power of friendship magic!

 

[SacTownKid]

Dare we dream?

C'mon Raptors, waive Brown so the Kings can see what happens when you combine a Bull with a Raptor.

Now wait a damn minute

Now, let's go trade for Monk's best frie..

Oh

 

[NewArena]

Cunningham said he was sure we were about to make 2 more moves, but "one for sure". This is the one so we'll see if anything else transpires between now and the deadline - maybe another PG or wing for the cheap idk.

 

[Tetsujin]

The Kings reuniting the Murray twins on top of bringing in JVal and Deebo’s BFF on top of having Malik would make them the ultimate vibes team lol

It’s been this long. I’d say it’s gonna continue one more half a season. …..

 

[Tetsujin]

Oh

Didn’t Monk say his best friend of the team or the guy he spent the most time off the floor with was Keegan?

 

[Kingster]

Ya I’m not trading Lyle’s unless we get a good wing back. Lyle’s, Len, and Doug combine to 14.5 million to take back a wing

He was co-Most Valuable Defensive Player in the last game, along with Murray. We're already paper thin in the front court defense and grit. Trade him at your peril unless we get a legit athletic defensive 4 back in return.

 

[Sherds]

so we still have both the TPE's to use yeah?

 

[Tetsujin]

The Kings are trying to become the friendship team and it’s working https://t.co/BGaY5lLXwJ pic.twitter.com/DpyeUzfSKD

[pdxKingsFan]

Wonder if he will be available on Thursday because Portland has been balling lately

I hope so but probably not since they are @ Nets tonight, figure he has to fly to Sac and clear physical. But since Kings are home tonight maybe this can all happen before they fly to pdx.

 

[Tetsujin]

There is a belief in Sacramento that, not only will Valanciunas be a great backup for Domantas Sabonis, but that both will be effective on the floor together at times.

Especially with Sabonis shooting 47% this season.

UNLEASH THE TWIN TOWERS! (But only against other big teams)

At the very least, the locker room is going to be 20000x better than it was last week
