Okogie opting in with the Suns hoping to get some playing time I guess.

Tweet was deleted since there was a "plot twist" and Okogie is declining his player option instead of opting in that was mentioned in the deleted tweet.

So does this mean they're letting Obi walk too?

I mean, they might not have a plan B if Jalen gets another team to pay him.

Wouldn't mind seeing the Kings going after him. He's big enough to play 2-4.

Signing Naji Marshall and Jalen Smith would make me feel a HELL of a lot better about the salary dump deal with Toronto. Make it happen Monte!

Well, that pretty much shows how much the Kings players on the outs like Davion, Sasha, and hopefully not Huerter and Barnes have. lol.

100% agree. Naji would be awesome on the Kings

That’s all it took for Dejounte?

 

[Tetsujin]

in what world is Mikal Bridges worth Bojan, five unprotected firsts and a pick swap while Dejounte Murray is worth two picks, an okay wing who can’t shoot, and a rotation big?

Monte needs to cook something badly. I know Harrison Barnes and Kevin Heurter have little value but everyone else is improving and we continue to simply exist in the bliss of making the playoffs once 2 seasons ago.

I oddly feel better about the Kings chances against the Pels with a CJ/Dejounte backcourt than I did about the Kings against them last year

Drafting a guard likely took us out of the running here from a roster balancing point of view but man... he's going to be great in New Orleans. Total steal for them. He's just as good as Mikal Bridges I think but I suppose that Villanova Voltron factor is worth the extra 3 FRP's?

ATL fleeced NOP, wow.

Murray just isn't very good. He got exposed heavily in ATL and isn't close to a defensive stopper

Nance is an awesome role player, Dyson Daniels is well on his way to being one of the elite defensive wings and 2 FRP??

They're probably moving CJ too I would think. Either way, a Pelicans team with Yves Missi and DeJounte Murray on it got a lot more competitive from a defensive point of view. Add in Herb Jones too and that's still a team I would not want to play against.

Then again, I don't know that our specific matchup problem with them this year was talent -- they just had a half dozen shooters who could not miss against our overmatched defense. Pivoting to more of a defensive mindset may make them a better team while also making them an easier matchup for us to handle.

Devin Carter is a good pick and all but this team isn’t better right now. The guard rotation was good before the Carter pick and it’s good after the pick. Need to address an upgrade to HB in the starting lineup. Im a bit worried

I think Murray was just a poor fit in Atlanta, specifically because he was forced to play most of his minutes next to Trae Young. He's a guy who really should be the lead ball handler and point of attack defender not an off ball wing asked to guard up a position. New Orleans had no PG this season and they got exposed whenever they faced a disciplined defensive team which forced them out of their primary offensive actions.

Is it possible the team is the problem and not the player?

Not sure what to make of it but hopefully screws NOP up and we can at least split with them next season.

Because New Orleans aggregated the salaries of Larry Nance Jr. and Dyson Daniels

Second apron is the gift that keeps on giving. wow.

Devin and Keon might make life easier in that sense haha.

If this works a brick wall is forming at the top of the West right now unfortunately. The Thunder are likely the next big brick to hit it's mark.

Monte might have to add just to make sure he's still in the play in depending on what the Dubs do. Man, if the Kings didn't land on Carter this would be far more bothersome. Has to pan out now though, and soon haha.
