I'd bet pretty solid money he's going to be on the Kings radar this off-season (finally, after like 7 years of KF.com wanting him). Proved he was healthy, he's perfectly assimilated into a quality role player role, advanced metrics look good, familiar with Mike Brown system to help bring guys along. Perhaps he can finally break the "Kings acquire a good veteran role player who immediately sucks once putting on a Kings uni" curse.
And watching Kleber this playoffs more closely, I'm growing more and more interested with a Holmes for Kleber swap. I think you could plug him right away at the 4 and our defensive upside is dramatically better. He's an excellent rim protector (Advanced metrics and just watching him close out at the 5 shows this checks out), is impactful across the board on advanced metrics and is a good spacer, despite the 32.5% this season. He's at 42% in the playoffs and shot 35-37-41 in his previous 3 seasons on good volume. Fair to say I think it was just a random down year shooting rather than indicative of his spacing talent. And if doesn't work, he's a UFA so you'd just be able to get off the Holmes money for a free look at Kleber.
What's even more fun is you'd have a truly versatile/modern NBA front-line if you drafted Murray as well. You almost wouldn't need a back-up C:
Fox || Mitchell
DDV || T.Davis
Barnes || Porter
Kleber || Murray
Sabonis || Jones
There's all kinds of juicy versatility in there and the Kings would go from 1 3/4 flex wing to 4. You could even start Murray over Kleber, rotate Kleber in at the 5 for Sabonis and play around with all kinds of Porter/Kleber, Murray/Kleber, Porter/Murray and of course all 3 fit beautifully with Sabonis at the 4.
My guess is the Mavs would love to get some value for Kleber too, especially with a guy they were linked to in Holmes that should fit beautifully with Luka. They just paid DFS, they're going to have pay Brunson at least $20mil a year.
I like it. If Sabonis' training with LethalShooter is successful and can get him to at least 35%. And if Fox can keep shooting 6 threes a game at 37%, like he has been since Sabonis has been here, then it won't matter if we don't have our own "Splash Brothers." If your whole team can, quite literally, shoot the three ball then that puts a lot of pressure on the opposing team.
