Kings looking to move Landry for 1st rounder & $3M cash?
- Thread starter rainmaker
- Start date
I just saw an article saying that Warriors would be open to trading Steph Curry for the right package. How about our #1 pick and Landry for Steph. I feel like he's the perfect compliment guard to Tyreke, he can play on and off the ball. He also has high basketball IQ and we won't get someone with his credentials for that #1 pick.
What do you guys think?

I should have researched farther. The first Wiki that came up didn't mention the ACL injury. But if I typed in injury, a different one came up and did mention it. However if never said how servere the injury was. Whether it was a strain of a tear or whatever. I agree with you though on the humor part since he's had no problems since, and ACL problems aren't nearly as bad as knee problems that require microfracture surgery..
With ACL injuries a lot relies on the athlete to do what is considered a pretty grueling rehab. TEchniques have gotten much better. Some palyers who have had ACL surgeries (as seen by a search of several sites):
NBA : Al Harrington; Baron Davis (college); Bonzi Wells; Nene; Danny Manning; Ron Harper; Sean Elliot (at age 14, but he opted for no surgery!); Bernard King (1st player to come back and make an Allstar team); Bob Lanier (in the Final 4)
NFL (could be a really long list): Barry Sanders; Jerry Rice; Carson Palmer

You're probably right. I will differ to you when it comes to college basketball, but from what I've seen and read so far, there isn't much to get excited about when picking in the mid-late teens this year. I have no problem with a top 5 pick, because whoever we draft there should be able to step in and help us next year. I don't really see the point in getting even younger than that by taking what could amount to a project later in the 1st round. IMO, aside from our top pick, this team needs to start surrounding its youth with vets(who still have a few years at the top, a Granger/Wallace type), instead of going even younger.
If we had a different coach, and this organization had shown the ability to develop young talent, I might feel differently. Tyreke is getting his time, and so is Cousins. Same as Omri, finally, to a certain extent. But the way in which Westphal/Petrie have developed JT/Donte/Omri(up until a few months ago), by constantly altering their roles and playing times, makes me nervous about drafting someone who isn't ready to step in immediately.
Going into next season, I can see the same type of marketing as we saw this past summer, talking playoffs and "Here We Rise" type stuff. Wins and losses will mean more next year. We will most likely sign at least 2 FA's who can step in and help. I could see it being a mess for a rookie who needs time and patience. We already have one in Whiteside who will need to be developed over the next couple of years, and I'm not confident in this organizations ability to develop more than one youngster at a time going forward. Westphal ahs already shown he would rather bench Cousins for final 16 mins of a game, and play Dally instead, so we can chase our 10th victory of the season. And that is one example of many. What will happen with Donte once Cisco comes back?
Of course getting something for Landry is better than him walking and getting nothing. It will free more time up for JT, and possibly Whiteside. I am waiting to see what Petrie does with our cap space after the new CBA is in play. It's a waiting game, and I'm not crucifying Petrie at this point, and will take a wait and see approach. I'm well aware next summer is when Petire will look to make a splash in FA.

Actually there are several players that I'm excited about that would be available in the mid to late teens. Ironic that two players you mentioned as guys that could help the team in Wallace and Granger, were both picked in the lower half of the first round. If you do your homework and choose wisely, you just might come up with someone thats better than a top 10 pick. Does Landry Fields jog anyone's memory.
I agree that the team needs some veteran leadership. And I'm not talking about a Cisco type player, but a star type player that the young guys will respect and listen to. But that would have nothing to do with another draft pick in the first round. That pick should be looked at as an asset, to be used in whatever way possible to help the team.

KNICKS/KINGS trade
This is really a way for the Knicks to get some big guys to play with them because they need some bigger bodies and they get a SF and the Kings get a SF and a C that can get some playing time in the Kings lineup while on loan.
KINGS GET: Curry, Chandler, Mason
KNICKS GET: Landry, Casspi, Dalembert, '13 protected 1st or 2nd round pick

KINGS/GRIZZLIES/PACERS Trade
KINGS GET: Granger, Thabeet, S.Young
GRIZZLES GET: Casspi, Dunleavy, Protected Future 1st Rnd or 2nd Rnd
PACERS GET: Landry, Mayo, Garcia, 2nd Rnd
Kings would be giving up the 1st/2nd Rnd picks and aquire Granger
Grizzles get a young SF and shooter in Dunleavy but they get rid of Mayo for future picks and don't lose scoring and gain defense
Pacers get SG in Mayo and backup SG Garcia but they really get a much needed a big man to help out the front line with Landry and a possible future 1st rnd pick
Most of the contracts are short term and don't hurt teams salary caps expect for Granger in which the Kings want a player like him for a longer term.

Not overly thrilled with this trade. I have no use for Curry, and I'm not a big fan of Mason's. I like Chandler, but I'm not sure he's that much beter than Casspi down the road. So I'm not sure I'd trade Casspi straight up for Chandler, much less throw in a draft pick, and I wouldn't come close to giving up a first round pick. In your trade your giving the Knicks a good defensive center and a PF that can score 15 pts a game and Casspi and a first round pick. Potentially 4 servicable players, and in return, were getting 1 servicable player, because I don't consider either Curry or Rodger mason players I want on my team.
This one is better, but I still don't want to give my first round pick. You want to throw in the second round pick fine. I love Granger, and I like Sam Young. Not a fan of Thabeet. But if he's just a throw in, I'll take him on the hope that the basketball fairy will visit him in the night and work some magic.
Landry for mid-late first is pretty much best case scenario IMHO.
We arnt going to get much more than that, and its better than just letting him walk....Or (nightmare scenario) actually resigning the bum.
Lotta decent players are nabbed in the middle of the first roung too. We can gamble on someone, or grab us a roleplayer. I think thats pretty good for Landry.
In a perfect world, we would have traded Martin for something better...Ah well, at the time the trade seemed win/win. Not our Petrie's fault Westphal gets the worst out of his players.

Id be all about that type of deal for just Landry, I would def trying to package up one of our sfs and swapping first rounders with Indy for Granger though. I like what Landrys given us but I'm not fooling myself into thinking he's worth a long term deal here I would rather give that money to Dally.
A couple pages back there was Steph Curry talk and that my friends is the guy who we need next to Reke he can catch fire in a instant and is def more of an ideal match with Reke than Monta. Sadly I believe GS parts with him for a known star so its pretty safe to say that's not happening for us.

Yes, they are shopping Danny Granger who is having an off year by scoring 20.5 ppg. A couple years ago he made 25 ppg. He has not been mentioned in trade talk although that may not mean anything. He would be the third stud and I think the Kings would give up a lot to get him except for Cousins and Reke. Because the team would undoubtedly win more until the end of the year, that #1 draft pick might not be as valuable as it is at the moment. In any case, three stars is what a team needs, esp. when they are roughly the same age. Pacers don't need Dalembert but I could see Casspi, JT and our #1 draft pick for Granger. Maybe more. It might be that one trade that takes us over the hump and I don't think we should play hard ball.
