Kings trade JT, Nik and Landry to Sixers (renamed)

[Sac.Kings]

I admit I was totally wrong about the Reke contract. I didn't want to touch 11mil, let alone 9mil.. Turns out it's a deal for a player of his stature. He's finding his niche in NO. Now all he needs is an outside jumper and he will be elite.

Tyreke is never going to learn how to shoot. It's been six years and he's just as bad as day 1. He doesn't have it between the ears. He's got it all physically, but he's lacking in the other things.

 

[lawlman91]

Okay, back to the free agency discussion...

Does anyone really think we need to even think about Derrick Williams? Didn't I hear earlier today that the Kings announced they would not be proffering a qualifying offer?

I'll be O.K. with DWill on less money. He's an athletic guy that can't play defense that can hit 1/3 of his three-point attempts and can get us the occasional emphatic dunk. I think he gets more hate than he deserves, but he deserves some hate.

Talent wise yes keep him. But we have to rid ourselves of these players don't take their craft seriously. It's poison to everyone. The Spurs are successful because every single one of their guys, even their rookies, are no nonsense and put in work. D-Will doesn't do any of that. He has to go. His attitude towards his career is not exemplary. It's why I didn't like Donte Green, it's why I didn't like Tyreke all that much, and it's why I don't like Ben, along with D-Will. You can see who puts in work, real work, during the off-season.

Link? Afraid I don't have Twitter. If this is true, expect not one but 2 signings. Or a mega signing. Should be interesting.

 

[jcwkings]

Stauskas gone too. What the hell is going on.

WOJO is calling it... I don't have a salt shaker icon.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

We gave up JT, Landry and Nik to Philly!!!

Interesting.

 

[Gary]

Yah.. Just heard this too.. Who we getting from Philly? Nobody? conditional pick?

The trade sounds like we're clearing space to get Matthews and Rondo?

 

[nebs]

WHAT DID WE GET THOOO

 

[kingjatt]

Great salary dump,Nik helped us out with something, 1 2 3 Nik Rocks!

7. Sacramento is trading Jason Thompson and Carl Landry as part of a salary dump to the Philadelphia 76ers, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

 

[Sac.Kings]

This pretty much confirms WCS starting day 1. Rondo and Matthews would be a dream, but now we need a third big.

 

[kingjatt]

@WojYahooNBA: Sources: 76ers sending the rights of oveseas players to Kings. Philly wanted Stauskas and will take on Thompson/Landry salaries.

We're too far behind on Matthews to compete with Dallas and Toronto. More likely Brewer and Rondo (Still hoping for Beverly and Brewer)

**** Rondo don't think he is in the plans now. We just traded JT and have 24million to spend if we get nothing from Philly.

Give Matthews his 15mill
Than give Kofous 9mill

Rondo is definetly not needed now cause we need a big.

A+ on that trade by Vlade

 

[Hoovtrain]

What is going on??

 

[Warhawk]

Buckle up - sounds like things might get interesting!!!

Good luck in Philly, guys!

 

[Chicken Chaser]

Just woke up from a nap to receive a Woj bomb. Whoa. This has to be more than just clearing space for Rondo, right? We're potentially forfeiting #2peat #summerleaguechampionships for this. Better be worth it.

 

[ovrush]

I wonder if we snagged Saric. Phili was very high on Stauskas, and need to do betterthis year since the're selling "here we rise" Saric would be great on top ofthe salary dump. Losing Thompson stings since his salary was looking like a steal and he's a perfect 3rd big. Means we have to find another big for the rotation.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

So much for all the "Thompson is untradeable" nonsense.

 

[theclash4u5]

The thing is, JT and the Landry deal look like absolute steals compared to what Tristan Thompson just got from the Cavs. Glad for JT, he's back in Philly.

 

[Larry89]

Sad to see Jason go

The Kings, after completing this trade, will have the salary-cap space to outbid Indiana for a free agent they've long coveted: Monta Ellis

 

[randymoss1881]

We're too far behind on Matthews to compete with Dallas and Toronto. More likely Brewer and Rondo (Still hoping for Beverly and Brewer)

He wants to get paid if Dallas hasn't offered 15 and we do he's coming here. If Dallas can't get Jordan and there teams roster remains
Dirk/Parsons vs Gay/DMC I'll take the the dominate dou

 

[Gliesian]

I don't believe anything Woj says, but it makes sense. Rudy would probably play the 4 a lot.

 

[annihilator_33]

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine 23s24 seconds ago
I'm also told that the Kings have secured a visit this week with Wes Matthews, putting Sacramento in the running with Dallas and Toronto

 

[ovrush]

Seems like you would have wanted the cap space before a bunch of free agents went off the board. I'm sure if we pulled the trigger on this we already have a plan in mind. Very interested to see what it is. I'm also sincerely hoping we got Saric back since he could be a nice stretch 4 next to Cuz next year.
