I would do the Beno for Conley trade in an instant.

Then i'd turn to Portland with this:


Mike Conley
Jason Thompson

for

Jerryd Bayless
Channing Frye

undersized shooting guard and a soft big. you scored dude!

umm, I dont think were going to get conley for beno ..

No we'd be getting Conley for Shelden AND taking on the deadweight contract of Jaric in exchange for Beno.

Beno for Conley is a no brainer. Beno has already demonstrated his ceiling, which is as a potentially good backup. Conley isn't close to showing his potential yet; another case of giving up on a young pg too early.

That's just not realistic -- nobody is trading for Jaric. If we make that trade this is our real target:

maloofs might get some more season ticket holders w/ her in the stands

I'd do the Conley-for-Beno trade in a heartbeat. Major reason: contract.

I really, really, hoped that Petrie wouldn't give Beno the now-standard-fare full 5-year MLE, and he did. Beno's playing a lot worse than I thought he would, too, and my expectations were pretty low for him coming into this season. That being said, I knew with a 5-year contract, he'd be quite a risk, and if he fell to the mid-level curse, he may be Kenny Thomas-ing the pine for the last 3 years of his contract. Thus: trade him while we still can.

Conley's been a bust...so far. And I was really high on the guy. He still has potential, though...it appears psychological from what I've seen, not a lack of talent. With only a year or two left on his deal, what do we have to lose? I think we know what we're going to get from Beno...but for five years? Blech.

I have been talking to Memphis fans and the only players they want from the Kings are Hawes, and Thompson.. If I had to give up either one of those I wouldn't do it.

Yeah, if she's dressed like that they might sell out the place!

Beno for Jaric straight up... maybe even throw in a 2nd rounder. Older, but bigger, better defender and a shorter contract. Marko would be better for us if we draft a PG this summer. He also would expire right around the time that our rebuild start to bear fruit, at least I hope.

I have no idea whether Memphis would trade Conley for Beno, but if so I would rather do a three way deal with Portland, who is said to covet Conley for a reunite with Oden. So Conley goes to Portland, Beno goes to Memphis, and Bayless comes to the Kings.
