Earlier reported trade mentioned 2 first round picks going to Boston, and was obviously fake.
Kings active in trade talks?

Just curious...why would we want to trade Jimmer for a 2nd round pick? He's finally starting to show some life, his contract is expiring anyway, and what are the odds that a 2nd round pick would produce a player better than Jimmer anyway? Most 2nd round picks end up playing in the D-League or overseas.

A second round pick today is better than nothing this summer.

They want a new identity. Jimmer is a main example of past mistakes. Looks like he will be a fixture on the end of our bench though...sucks all around.

I'm not in favor of dealing Jimmer for a 2nd rounder - but I can see the acquisition being used as part of a later or off-season trade.
I agree but is there no chance that we/he would want to resign him over the summer?

NY and Sacramento keep striking out on potential deals .. could lead them to make a move with each other.
There would be fist fights over the ball if that were to happen.Melo!!!!

This trade deadline is showing how little value the team has to offer. No takers for Jimmer (for almost 0). Cleveland would trade for JT to get Jack off their books (yes, I typed "jack off") but only if they can unload him to another team, and we saw the value Thorton brought; a serial nut grabber and Bibby's older washed up cousin. No wonder Pete'D is trying to get rid of these guys from the old regime.
Why would you give up a pick for Jimmer when you can just wait and sign him in the off season? Lack of trading partners for Jimmer doesn't mean that no one wants him.
A playoff team might want him and be willing to give up that 2nd rounder for his services this year, even if it means losing him in the off season.

No good team wants him.

Or no good team wants to give up a future asset to have the privilege of paying now what they can get for cheaper in the summer.

Nah the salary would be too high. If we picked up his option it would have been about 4mil? +/- a half mil. He's not worth that. He will become unrestricted over the summer because we didn't pick up his option and he'll not resign for us at less than what we were going to pay him had we picked it up. I assume he would rather just go overseas or play at the end of the bench for some other NBA team. There is always the D-League too if a team wants to boost their attendance they can always sign him.

But if you are trying to make a
Push you would. It means he isn't valued by the league right now.

By that same logic, IT isn't valued either.
You realize it takes two to trade, right? By all accounts, PDA is out trying to make something happen. Just not a lot of interest in what we are selling.

Probably accurate. The majority of playoff teams are point-guard centric and Jimmer doesn't fit that team model. Heat, Pacers and Thunder he would be marginal improvements over some of their bench guards, but probably not enough to warrant taking on his salary for the rest of the season.

I don't know, might have to now because every player knows they are unwanted, haha. Rookie FO might be left with some egg on the face after this one.

This has to be devastating to JT and Jimmer. JT should be a player teams
