Eh, i kinda expect the news that we’ve pulled out of these specific trade talks

Run it back part II

Run it back part II

This time it works because our backup point guard is probably better than Davion!

 

[Tetsujin]

So no Keegan in an Ingram deal and not wanting to move Keegan is precisely WHY Monte is pursuing BI instead of Lauri in the first place

Show me one instance where anyone on this forum has said we're fine and set if we go into the season as currently constructed?

I'll wait.

Did I say anyone is saying that? It’s just what I expect. Yeah, I desperately want a move to materialize because I see what this team is, but outside of THE TRADE Monte has been safe as hell with his other trade moves. There’s been lots of smoke, but never any fire. Maybe we’re just the universal leverage tool (likely), maybe our assets just aren’t great, but as time ticks and more and. Ore Free Agents fly off the board I get more and more doomy.

I *am* extremely grateful he somehow got Monk to sign on before free agency, because this roster without him would be NBA’s equivalent of melatonin. But man, follow up that great move with something else!

You're crazy if you want to move Keegan for Ingram. I don't even think Ingram is better than Keegan potential to be honest. Maybe slightly better today, but not by much.

 

[coolhandluke]

Is that 1/20 an actual number, or is that conjecture?

I might have heard it from one of Monte’s press conference sometime ago. Don’t have the exact quote right now. Treat it as conjecture for now.

lol absolutely no one is trying to move Keegan for BI.

 

[Section 101]

I dont move him for Markkanan. Keegan is a better all around player right now.

 

[LPKingsFan]

Yeah, the appeal of Ingram would be that he would not cost Keegan. Unlike Lauri.

Fair enough, was just curious because we don't normally have that level of insight!

 

[KingsFanSince85]

Yes, because the Kings have made Keegan unavailable. If the Kings want a super value buy it starts with Keegan.

No, it doesn’t. Not for the players that have been rumored. That’s a deal breaker. And they need to continue hold out on that.

 

[Turgenev]

I might have heard it from one of Monte’s press conference sometime ago. Don’t have the exact quote right now. Treat it as conjecture for now.

Monte did say something like the number of trade talks that get reported is only a small proportion of what gets discussed.

 

[KingsFanSince85]

Yep, Vivek is my neighbor so we talk regularly.

Of course I’m speculating. Virtually everything on this board is speculation.

The term “run it back” is shorthand for bringing the same core back. I love the Carter pick, but if Carter over Davion is the current roster upgrade then yes, I believe/it’s my opinion/I am speculating/I prayed to the NBA gods and have determined in my specific mind that Vivek will not be happy.

That’s your shorthand definition. And it’s fabricated. And untrue.

Probably just like your speculation that you didn’t position as speculation.

The only thing being run back is this really lame take. Over and over again.

One way to look at this is he hasn’t made a trade just to make a trade and ended up,dealing say Keegan for fools gold.
It’s frustrating but because of the lack of excess assets, hes got to get it just right or we go backwards…..continuously.

I think the bigger thing is some of the guys who got signed for 8-9Million per year would have been able to help and we are in jeopardy of adding nothing that could move the needle.

I’m just over making excuses for this franchise. We haven’t won a playoff series since 2004. At some point we gotta do something. Dallas went from missing the playoffs to going to the finals.

 

[dude12]

The other thing in these possible big player deals, if another team is hellbent on getting Keegan Murray, then they are being disingenuous because at this point, Keegan has established himself as one of the better young 2-way players in the NBA. NO knows they ain’t getting him, Washington knows they getting him, Utah with Markkanen is the one team that could and should inquire but they have to know Monte isn’t really wanting to move him.

 

[UK_King]

What’s Tyreke Evans up to?

this team isn’t going anywhere with or without Ingram.

Of the rumors floating, my forward combos, ranked:

Keegan + Lauri


Keegan + BI
Keegan + Random MLE

————


Lauri + ?
BI + ?

Anything below the line and I riot.

Where does Keegan + HB rank?

 

[SacTownKid]

Where does Keegan + HB rank?

Right around Keegan + Cam Johnson.

 

[reptilexcq2]

Where does Keegan + HB rank?

Average.

 

[dude12]

I’d still go get Kuzma if they can’t get BI. Like Monk when he came over, Sac and Coach Brown unlocked more to Monks game than any other team ever did. I think Kuzma paired with Sabonis and under the coaching staffs guidance, unlocks more to his game and takes away some of the bad shots.

 

[Obnoxious]

I dont think Ingram is worth a shake up.

 

[King Baller]

Ainge is in charge in Utah. Do not trade Keegan to Utah. Picks? Sure. Huerter & Barnes + 2 FRP should be the max for Lauri. Make an offer for the Mayor of Milwaukee….Bobby Portis inatead.
