Look, I’m not advocating for anything that will stunt the development of any of the youth. However the front office seems hellbent on getting another established PG and if that were to happen I’d be more interested in Brogdan than Westbrook.And how are we gonna know his potential when we’re playing sorry ass vets in front of him in our quest for the 11th seed. How’s he getting more than 15mpg with Lavine, Schroeder, and westbrick or Brogdan in front of him. Where’s Keon playing? Why would Keon resign after playing less than 25 minutes a game this year. Kill three horses at once: lose Keon and derail the development of Keegan and Carter
But here’s the issue with the new CBA and teams getting heavily penalized with these aprons. Moving that type of money is extremely difficult now, so what is it exactly you want the Kings to do? If there are no options on dumping that kind of money without say attaching future 1st round picks is that what you want the team to do? Because at that point it just makes sense to let the money expire. The Kings have pretty much clean books in 2027 and all their picks moving forward, no reason to dump future assets to clear those contracts this season.
Apparently, the Kings have picked up the phone and revived the possibility of a sign-and-trade for Dennis Schröder and Malik Monk to change teams. It was reported by Jake Fischer. I will believe it when I see it. Remember that nothing can be signed until noon on July 6.

The Sacramento Kings would revamp part of their roster if they finalize a three-team trade with the Golden State Warriors and Detroit Pistons.www.nbcsportsbayarea.com
TLDR
Pistons: Monk
Warriors: Devin Carter, Saric, 2 second rounders (from Sac)
Kings: Kuminga
Pistons: Monk
Warriors: Devin Carter, Saric, 2 second rounders (from Sac)
Kings: Kuminga
Hope this happens, but Anthony Slater just tweeted nothing is close, and Brett Seigel thinks the Warriors wouldn’t have interest in trading Kuminga to Sac.

In 2025? No, 15 mil per is equivalent to like 5-6 million 10-12 years agoDennis is a nice player but with zero upside giving him a 3 year deal 15mil per is crazy, that's the kind of deal you give him maybe when he was showing signs when he was like 21 and backing up Jeff Teague at a high level and was looking like a potential good starting PG which he could never prove he was.
Once details are reported and people start talking about it being 2-3 days out, I always lose any hope if I had any to begin with. I think the deals we don't hear about will be the trades that hit our timeline, similar to the Jonas trade that came outta nowhere.Hope this happens, but Anthony Slater just tweeted nothing is close, and Brett Seigel thinks the Warriors wouldn’t have interest in trading Kuminga to Sac.
Not really sure what the Warriors are doing with Kuminga to be honest. At this point it seems like they are spiting him just to spite him. Either trade him for assets or extend the poor guy. I get he hasnt been consistent but that is as much the coaching staff at fault as him. He will hace stretches where he plays very well, and then will be benched for an intermittent length of time and unlear reasons.Once details are reported and people start talking about it being 2-3 days out, I always lose any hope if I had any to begin with.

So passing creation volume is an A+ and passing creation quality is a F? So he generates a lot of crappy passes? Yay for us!

But in all seriousness, I don't know what to make of that. Would probably be helpful to know what each of these rows actually mean.
Playmaking Talent:
Playmaking Talent is Basketball Index’s in house passing metric. It’s made up of 5 components.
Passing Creation Volume – Potential Assist + FT Assist.
Passing Creation Quality – The expected eFG% on Potential Assists generated based on shot quality.
Passing Versatility – An estimate of the diversity of passes a player makes.
Passing Efficiency – This compares bad pass turnovers against expectations, considering the quality and versatility of shots created for teammates. Think of this as an advanced Assist-to-turnover ratio.
On-Ball Gravity: An estimate of the defensive attention an offensive player commands while they have the ball. An example of this would be a defender going over a screen in a pick and roll.
All of the components of Playmaking Talent are stabilized meaning they have a small amount of league average attempts added to their totals to make them more predictable and combat small sample size. The idea behind the metric is that it weighs the volume, shot quality created, versatility, passing efficiency, and defensive attention a player generates. This helps deal with the issue of a player racking up a bunch of low-quality Assists because they have the ball a lot. Attracting defensive attention and creating open shots for teammates on volume is hard to fudge.
Found it! Here's what the site says for these metrics...

Yeah its definetly a weird split. My first thought is his teammates suck and can't finish? But this basically says he's a high volume ball handler and creates a lot of opportunity. Maybe not "good" opportunity though?
Hm. Strange. But maybe that's sufficient? Since theoretically Domas should be the hub through which "good" opportunities get generated in the Kings' offense, anyway.
Apparently stamps his feet.If Kumingas camp says either pay me and increase my role or trade me to Sac who is willing to pay me and feature me in their offense what does Mike Dunleavy do?
If he really wanted to be vindictive they could renounce his rights. Then he's looking at MLE max with no sign and trade available.If Kumingas camp says either pay me and increase my role or trade me to Sac who is willing to pay me and feature me in their offense what does Mike Dunleavy do?
Right but then they’re burning bridges with a pretty big agency. They also have a few other Warriors/ ex-Warriors so they have to have a relationship.If he really wanted to be vindictive they could renounce his rights. Then he's looking at MLE max with no sign and trade available.
I think to a certain extent they are hoping that by painting the Kings as unreasonable in a sign and trade offer they can force him to a contract in the MLE to 20m neighborhood since nobody has money. I also think this is sort of the Keon strategy, nobody will have money so he can take MLE with a stranger or 18 with us.If he really wanted to be vindictive they could renounce his rights.
