Kings after Ingram

[Capt. Factorial]

DeMar DeRozan has zero interest in taking the MLE for $13M, per @ChrisBHaynes

Teams like the Lakers and Heat would have to get creative to create cap space or work out a sign-and-trade.

well that takes care of that idea

It would always have been a S&T.

If the Pels want a third team to send them a center, there’s always Clint Capela. Kings might need to waive protections on their pick owed to Atlanta anyway

— Brett W. Huff (@bretthuff22) July 2, 2024

This is a good idea. Remove our protection on the ATL pick, send them whichever one of HB or Huerter NOP doesn't want and flip Capela to NOP.

Yeah, people probably haven't caught a ton of Jazz games the last couple years, but Lauri basically plays like 7'0 Steph Curry. He's an unreal 3-level scorer. There are very few guys I think would be such a flawless offensive fit with Fox and Domas. Especially with Keegan, we'd be in contention for a top 3 offense, easily.

As long as I keep Keegan, I'll pretty much pay any price to get him. He's that good and just entering his prime.

Some of us have, which is why we’ve been banging the drum to get him! And, yes, keep Keegan while giving up whatever else (outside the core) to secure a deal.

I'd make sure to keep one of Keon or Carter, but I'd flip one of them too in the deal to get it done. Would suck to see either guy go, of course, but a guy like Lauri is worth it.

Barnes + Duarte + Lyles and future 1st for Ingram
Huerter for a S&T derozan (maybe another 1st if derozan signs more than 1 year)
9 man rotation
Fox/Carter/ellis
derozan/monk/ellis
Ingram/derozan/monk
Murray/ingram/mcdaniels
Sabonis/len/?

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I am still concerned about defense with Lauri.

We will be a 2nd apron team with Lauri and Keegan after re-signing both and no draft capital so that better be your championship squad.

Bay Area radio saying that warriors are ready to give up Podz, Moody, and 4 picks. Jazz demanding Kuminga in there as well and it’s holding the deal up.

That would be quite the haul

Warriors about to be Steph, Lauri, and the reanimated corpses of GPII, Draymond and Kevon Looney

Warriors value Kuminga as great as we value Keegan. They ain't giving him up lol.

Ainge is so frickin greedy man. I hope he gets stuck with Lauri and he walks in FA.

Is next year the year we expect a cap spike?

Ainge is so stupid if that's actually on the table. Those Warrior picks are likely VERY juicy down the line since Steph will be gone.

We’ve been told there’s nothing to this. The two sides talked but don’t expect it to go anywhere. https://t.co/88KAud4isY

The Pelicans are the latest team to show interest in Lauri Markkanen, per @MikeAScotto

three team trade? Kessler to the Pels

Distinct possibility

If we do nothing this offseason then our one only hope for next season is Keegan making a big leap and Carter playing like a ROTY

No. No stat backs that up. Steph is a true lead/2nd guard depending on system with a 25% assist percentage at whatever age he is.

Well, he's a much more high end talent. Sorry, it's true.

And it's a possibility of value over sending them too much talent or a ton of draft picks.

DLo said a deal for Kuzma was super close on draft night. I have to imagine the deal was #13, a future first and matching salary. When Carter was available at 13 Monte bailed because as he said in his presser, “ picking Devin at 13 was better than any other scenerio”. If that’s the case he has a big board of forwards with BI at the top. The value forwards are gone outside of Highsmith, Martin and Derozan. The Derozan dream seems dead. It’s looking like BI or WCJ are the best remaining options. I’m not giving up 2 future firsts for Kuzma.

 

[Tetsujin]

It sort of feels like the league is waiting for the Lauri shoe to drop, at which point the Ingram shoe drops, and I think the Kings are in on both of those shoes and will want those situation to play out before making major commitments elsewhere. https://t.co/7FlzNgrY7R

To those in the "know", adding Carter because of stupid GM'ing isn't a nothing burger. Monte showed them once already, lol.

Welp, better hope we get to take one of those shoes home. Literally every wing signing this off-season has been amazing value and would have helped us. Down to Okoro/Caleb Martin left.

Gee, you think? lol. Brown just got the exact player he's been praying to the heavens for. This dude checks ALL BOXES.

Carter checks all of the boxes for both Monte and Mike Brown lol. An older college prospect with efficient shooting splits and insane defensive metrics and work ethic. You couldn’t craft a better guy for both of them in a lab.

It still astounds me Carter dropped to 13 in what was considered a "weak" draft. He can of course, not work out, but everything about his profile screams exactly what you need on the floor to win in the playoffs.

Welcome to the reality of letting a player enter FA status, lol.

He'll be his GP3 in a worst case. Let it ride.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I hope Ainge eats it. Played on all three of the teams I have a connection to and I have never liked the guy.

Coming off a postseason in which a bunch of dudes with Carter’s exact profile/extremely similar thrived no less. GMs watched Jrue/Derrick White/Josh Hart/Nembhard/DDV all thrive and look like monsters and decided to pass on the guy most likely to be like them anyways lol

Jrue #17. Hart #30. White #29. Kings fans have been complaining about Kawhi, THIS is your chance to make that up. Let dumb*** GM's gift you. The universe speaks. Monte listens.
