Kings trade Richaun Holmes and 24th overall pick to Mavericks for ????

[Tetsujin]

Can't grade this until free agency probably.

Someone is blowing a fuse offline, after the Kings got the player he wanted only to trade him away.

I am not a Prosper fan anyway. He's nothing special.

 

[Chupacabra]

But what did the Kings get?!??!! This drives me insane!

I really hope this is a multi player trade and not giving up our pick to dump Holmes salary

 

[Tetsujin]

Gonna need to check if we have enough space but we might have enough room to bring in Khris Middleton in lieu of Kris Murray.

I was pumped that Prosper fell, we draft him then trade him for cap space hahahahahaha.

Wow, get ****ing real

 

[captain bill]

Confident this FO knows what's available and has a plan A and B at the very least. Hopefully the beans don't get spilled like with Bogi

I doubt the trade was contingent on Kris Murray being available or not; however, does help smooth out hurt feelings if he was on the board when they traded the pick.

Makes 100% sense. We get a few mil for the pick, and trading Holmes will free up more money..

Look guys, we are literally a championship contending team now. After one year of these guys being together. This team after year one is better than the Divac, Webber team after one year. We are a championship contender.

 

[Section 101]

Only hope a guy they wanted is falling to 38.

 

[iowamcnabb]

We also made our competitor better with this trade. A good pick and roll guy for Luka and a defense first wing. So far this sucks, hope I’m missing something

 

[Jc121]

Someone please explain the traded player exemption?

Dave needs to get that “K” name out his mouth. And I’m not referring to Khris Middleton or Kris Murray.

Seriously, STOP! No cancer, knucklehead players on this team.

If the KINGS really ended up one pick away from Kris Murray to then end up with that idiot from Washington instead — I’m gonna vomit dayglo.

This better be a precursor to landing OG or Middleton.

I think with this trade they freed up $15-$18M. I think that gives us something like $30M in cap room... Isnt that exactly the number that Jeremi Grant is wanting? Probably also good enough to make a run at Khris Middleton or possibly absorbing contracts of a marquee player. This looks very clearly like a set up to a much bigger move, so i reserve judgement.

Why tf sign Grant when you can just draft Prosper

I’d take Grant too. Anybody but the overvalued knucklehead.

Calm down sir. We are not there yet at all. Don’t disrespect the past kings to build up the new. They can both carry there own weight

Maybe they don’t believe Prosper is the prospect that you apparently do??

Just curious….what has Kuzma done to earn the reputation as a knucklehead in your mind?

Disappointing.

It's alright though I'll keep an open mind

One is a known quantity and the other is an unknown rookie who has yet to be drafted after 28 picks

 

[BigVirg]

I don't think Monte makes this move unless he's confident he can land a fish. Let's let this play out
.

 

[Turgenev]

I like Holmes and wish him well.

But - that he was one of our better players for those two or so years a reminder of how terrible we were.

Yea I’m taking grant 10 out of 10 times. Plus he fits but let’s wait and see. Exciting

Good thing it's not me.

Prosper was one of my least-favorite players in our range this year. Still, they could've used it on someone else, but I'm hoping one of the guys I like falls to 38.

Bro are you sure?
