We just aren’t hearing about a ton of star level players available. Lavine? Always hurt, not always efficient. Beal? Bad contract, always hurt, no defense. OG? Not a star, some injury concern, short contract and Keegan could end up just as good or better down the road. Siakam? Too many picks needed too messy with the Huerter trade. Plus a star that may be available will go to the highest bidder. Several teams with a ton of draft capital.
I don’t know who but Ham said people within the organization are really high on Keegan and think he can be better than the Big Fin

If we’re gonna make a trade for that third star to complete our “Big 3,” it’s not gonna be this season. Why not see what the ceiling of this team is this season? Get a Playoff run in with this group to find out who you are. We see flaws in the regular season, but a Playoff series or two could really point us in the right direction in terms of highlighting what we need to acquire.
Plus, like other people have mentioned, there really aren’t any appealing All-Star level guys available right now. Wait until the off season or next years trade deadline and see if a Paul George, or someone of that ilk, is available. Plus, the more time that passes and the more we are patient for a trade, the more draft capital we will have to use as that 2024 pick quits hindering us.

I can't see McNair trading Keegan. He just fits so well with Fox and Domas.
I can see us trading Davion, picks, and maybe even Huerter, as I think he's both high value as well as a bit redundant on a roster that's stacked with offense.
I think it's just gonna be a "tinker" move if anything. We've massively overachieved this year (thanks Brown!), let's just get a playoff rep in and run it back with, basketball gods willing, a wing defender who can hit a 3 and some bigman depth.

You'd have to see what they looked like as a number 1 option. As said, like 90% of Keegans offense is assisted. That's not star ball no matter how you slice it. Obviously for the Kings to trade out of the chemistry they have it would take a insta contender type move. Is that someone like OG? Eh, not in my opinion but you'd have to consider something like that.
It feels weird saying this, but I feel more confident in this team in the playoffs than I do in the regular season. Unless we end up seeded against a team that can beat us up on the wings, I have odd confidence in coach to be able to adjust and adapt. We don't have to shoot lights out every game, but if everyone is clicking come spring, oh boy. The scary thing is that we've already seen what it looks like; I don't feel like I'm imagining a hypothetical "what if" scenario.
