How much partial are we talking about though? Better be like $1-2 mil.
I need that partial to be like 1 million. Not a demar type partial
@carmichaeldave is a hot little potato over this and so am I. I can’t think of a signing im less excited about in Kings history than this one. That’s before you consider we overpaid and gave too many years.
Over-exaggerated Sigh
It’s literally just the standard MLE deal. Not like we gave him huge additional money.
Monk for Kuminga or a Whitmore/Adams package?Yeh if the third year is not guarantee it’s essentially the deal we have been talking about since the beginning.
Still, what’s the plan with Monk now? Was the trade ever real? If it was, how are we smoothing things over? How are we fixing the 3 small 2 guards situation?
My sentiments exactly. Do hope that 3rd year is a team option.Look- I don't love Schroder at 3/45. But this is evidence that Perry isn't a lightweight. He wanted to trade Monk to Detroit and get real assets and Detroit obviously said no. They wanted it to be Schroder for Monk straight up. So Perry called their bluff, dumped JV, signed Schroder without a sign and trade, and held Monk for a different trade.
Like I said, I don't love the Schroder signing in a vacuum. But Perry identified a guy he wanted, and got him on the terms he wanted him. When another team pushed back, Perry found his own way. He might suck as a roster builder and talent evaluator (time will tell) but at least this gives me hope that our GM isn't a pushover.
...so is the life of a select group of Sacramento Kings fans.
Holdup, we lost Lyles??It depends what the end result is here. Are we done? Because right now:
Gained
Dennis Schroeder
Dario Saric (although seems dubious he's still on the team)
Lost:
JV
LaRavia
Lyles
Keon Ellis RFA rights
We're in a worse position and we've risked one of our most valuable players team control to do it. There's got to be more shoes to fall now.
Good teams would have prioritized extending young talent like Keon and Keegan.It depends what the end result is here. Are we done? Because right now:

Yesterday Vecenie had us finishing second to last in the west, mostly due to the brutal competition. Obviously health will shake things up for some teams but it sounded about right to me. I’ve mentally prepared myself for a tough year wins and losses wise. The thing is, things could turn quick. If either Maxine or Nique hit and you walk into a top ten pick in a loaded draft we could be on our way up in short order.
