Kings trade Tyrese and Buddy for Sabonis and Holiday and Lamb

What difference do the picks make? Seriously?
All they'll do is eff them up or trade them for utter nonsense if they do hit on any of them.
Ben Simmons may have his faults, but he's infinitely more talented on both ends of the floor and useful than Sabonis.
If you are going to wreck your franchise with a trade, that was the better one to make.
I'm not saying they SHOULD have made the Simmons deal at that ridiculous price. Because I don't think they should have.
But now knowing what they did do and overpay for --- yes, I would have rather they done the 1st awful trade.

I really think Monte has done well with his picks. Better than Vlade and the two morons before him. And like it or hate it (or both, which is how I feel right now) he didn't flinch at picking the player he thought was BPA even if it meant trading one of the two fan favorites from the year prior would become inevitable (or trading the pick he just made). I always thought it would be Fox because 1) the cost issue but two I figured that Monte was going to be stuck on "his guys". He just showed he's not, which is actually a really promising development even though I hate the idea of building around a big who is offense first in this current landscape. But we still have at least two valuable chips in Holmes and Barnes and a huuuuuge wildcard with Bagley.
I've been saying all season that this team just needed a change. Any change. Because things were broken and irreparable as they were. I'm devastated by the choice of change, but also can't argue this is a big time change. This either makes us better going forward because we added an all star big or makes us worse because the pieces don't fit (assuming Monte doesn't adjust the roster construction). One way we are building towards the playoffs and one way we are getting worse and getting a better pick. Hopefully this isn't a lateral move because then we just traded away my favorite player in NBA history for more of the same.
He has. But he just traded one of the 2 good picks he's made away. That's the point.
The KINGS finally get lucky and land a very good prospect that's looking like a potential cornerstone but they just can't deal with that type of draft success.
So they trade him away for a player that's not highly valuable in today's game. And is in no way an anchor defender.
Effing genius.
If that's what you're going to do with your draft assets when you do hit on them, what's the point?
INDY is laughing their collective @$$es off. So is the rest of the league. Par for the course.
The KINGS are just a farm team for everyone.
