I guess WCS has zero trade value. His low bball IQ isn't impressing anyone.

WCS for Fultz isn't better than Simmons for Fultz? That's saying something.

 

[Cojc]

The Lakers were trying to include Lavar in the trade but it was a deal killer.

Nothing wrong with WCS this season. He is a big part of their style and success.

 

[Livinthedream]

The team filled their holes without trading WCS. I think that's the best case scenario.

Very possible we weren't shopping him. What he does for this team would be pretty hard to replace at the moment. Not to mention the chemistry issue it could cause - trading Willie on the same day Shump/JJ/Skal are traded could cause some issues in the locker room.

 

[Kings_of_California]

If WCS were the defensive force he was supposed to be coming into the draft then I would be all for holding onto him.

But right now he's putting his amazing tools to waste and his motor runs hot and cold.

He needs to go all in on practicing his d.

My guess would be we were accepting calls but not making them. With any luck that's the case and there won't be a big market for him in the summer.

That said, we did force more than a few teams into maxing out guys the last 2-3 seasons and I'm not sure if any of them might want to repay us by forcing us to match an offer to Willie.

 

[Hallama]

Very doubtful that WCS gets a huge offer from another team this offseason. Smart move by Kings to hold on to him and see what happens.

 

[Sac.1989]

Willie's value could be at an all time low but end of the day a successful end of the season and playoffs will ensure he has suitors.

As of today though we are well on our way to securing an asset for cheap

 

[Capt. Factorial]

All these folks saying that WCS obviously has no trade value are going to be really surprised when he signs for 4/$60M or better this summer in free agency.

 

[SacTownKid]

Go hard after Teodosic.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

All these folks saying that WCS obviously has no trade value are going to be really surprised when he signs for 4/$60M or better this summer in free agency.

4/60 is where I feel we ideally re-sign him.

Then That hypothetical team just bought themselves a WCS.

 

[NewArena]

Robin Lopez is on his way to being bought out. I’d take his rebounding and defense over a half hearted Willie

Send him a message and cut those minutes in half a time or two

Yea I guess we plan on paying him? If not, we're going to lose him for nothing now.

I was so mad when we had robben Lopez then traded him away right after back when we had cousins. Thought it was a good fit.

Would love to to have Lopez, unless he has fell off this last year or so. Cut KK for him?

Man I hope not. 3 year deal, third year team option.

 

[New Era]

NYK are releasing Kantner

I can see Vlade going that route. Bagley is our only post guy, really.

 

[AaronPDX]

Kanter would be a nice add if affordable somehow.

 

[biltalent]

Kings waive Mclemore, roster now stands at 13.

That's exactly what Boogie extended for with the Kings, LOL

Career over?

Wonder if Vlade has an eye on or deal in place for one of the buyouts.

 

[Kings_of_California]

Also, re: Kanter

He's the worst defending big in the league. It's a proven fact. Does our paint D need to get any worse? Also, he comes with baggage. I just want positivity in that locker room. No distractions.

 

[swisshh]

Kanter was an option due to team's rebounding issues. When they play Bagley/Giles the rebounding improves. Having more size at the wing will help there as well. (Burks has high rebounding rate for his size)

What the team lost is energy guys, so that is what I'd be looking for if I'm GM. That may mean converting Troy Williams to a minimum.

 

[Kings_of_California]

The clippers just CUT Teodosic

 

[Cojc]

With all the bigs being moved around before and hitting the waiver wire I believe we were dangling him but it was just better to hang on to him.

Also pointed out we have a few roster spots open so we will have to do something else someone else is coming or we give our two ways a contract.

Precursor?

 

[NewArena]

The plot thickens. No way they leave two spots open
