I don't do advanced stats, did we win the game? My feed cut out.
Hey Keegan, James Ham, YOUR Kings Insider, how much do you hate playing for a meaning pants Mike Brown? Isn't Monte the worst?

nope. do not recall any of that.Anyone remember the Buddy Hield curl play or the Corey Joseph pointing everywhere while dribbling the ball for 16 seconds of the shot clock?
How about the three guard lineup of Cojo/Fox/Hield??
Louis King starting at 3
Trey Lyles gotta be furious right now lol
Mike Brown also let Coach Fox give out the DPOG expecting him to give it to Lyles.Mike Brown letting our guys grow into leaders too. Love it
Except during his cold streak to enter the Brown era, my biggest concern with trading Barnes was always going to be that there is no way in hell you could get a player of equal value in return, and if you accept at face value and add everything we're told about how important he is in the locker room he's one of those guys you just hope takes a team friendly deal and stays here for as long as possible.I think we know who’s NOT getting traded
I sure hope he is here and contributing for it...
I think we know who’s NOT getting traded
In all honesty, there's no way that we trade away any of:
Fox
Sabonis
Barnes
Murray
Huerter
Monk
Mitchell
and I think at this point
Lyles
in any nibble-at-the-margins trade. You don't blow up chemistry like this.
Which means that we're probably dangling Holmes, who has little trade value, and then looking at using Len/TD/Delly/KZ/Metu to aggregate at least a bit of salary to try to get a fit in a trade. And we're obvious buyers at this point, so nobody's going to give anything away. It's going to be real tough to find a match on just about any rotation plug-in player without giving up at least a first. Obviously the Knicks seem willing to part with Reddish, but I'm not sure he's a rotation plug-in, and he's not the archetype paint defender we're desperate for. I think if we don't give up a pick, we don't get a paint defender.

He's already on a team friendly deal so if he just is willing to stay close to the same rate we can sign him a few extra years since we'll be operating over the cap in 2 seasons or so.I don't see Harrison Barnes taking a pay cut; he's a professional, professionals will always seek to get paid what they're worth
