Would not help out in defense or rebounding at all, but what potential!

And that, right there, is the mindset the organization has seemed to take on that will continue to kill us IMHO. We have potential up the kazoo; we need more players with defensive acumen. We absolutely cannot afford any more players simply because they have potential, especially if that potential is almost entirely on the offensive end of the spectrum.

Personally I would rather see us get Reggie Evans than Eddie Curry.

Yeah, I mean, Eddy Curry would be like crack rock. It's addictive and it's not good for us, but oh how it feels good.

Normally I wouldn't want to take the no-defense plunge on potential alone, but 23 year old 7'0" 300 lb athletic big men with potentially dominant moves in the post only come along once or twice a generation. I'm not saying he's Shaq, but he has some serious potential and has gotten better every year. At the cost of KT or Skinner I'd say he's worth the risk of wrecking what defense and rebounding we had left. But I can see why people would be reluctant.

 

[VF21]

If we had a coach that put a lot of emphasis on defense, AND a history of bringing out the defenisve talents of players on a regular basis, I'd be tempted. But, considering the track record, with the exception - of course - of Doug Christie, I don't think it's worth it to bring Eddie Curry to the team on the CHANCE he just might develop a defensive game.

 

[ONEZERO]

Defense! Defense! Defense! Defense!

 

[Rowdyone]

Reggie Evans will give us what we need inside, rebounding, for far less money than either Chandler or Curry, neither of whom I see us having a chance to land.

 

[whozit]

Who are you suggesting that Seattle would accept in a trade for him? The Kings have nothing left to offer except minimum salaries unless done by trade. Not sure if they even have any trade exemptions left. RealGM had the Kings with some remaining (~$2.8 million) but I'm not sure about the accuracy and having checked for some time.

 

[Kings113]

Seattle has said more than once they have high interest in Darius, not lately. But that doesn't mean it's lost.

 

[Kings113]

I highly doubt Jefferson is going anywhere, Ainge I don't think would do it. I think he'd do Peja for Pierce though.

Second one, doubtful as well, Camby gets injured too much despite how awesome he is when not, and his contract is pretty wild.

Anyone who would not do KT and Corliss for Camby would have to be suffering from a mild form of insanity. That said, on the other side of the deal the Nuggets are NOT -- I don't know that we could land Camby with one of our core players let alone a "flexioble" piece. He is better at the things he does than any single King is at anything he does with the exception of Peja's shooting.

Corliss Williamson for Marquis Daniels

M Daniels could be our backup for sf/sg. He's young, can defend, score, pass and he's athletic.
C Williamson would play well for the Mavs at sf/pf, with Nowitzki or Van Horn at pf/sf

Again, can't imagine the Mavs doing that. Daniels may well be their starting OG this season, and is certainly a big part of what they want to do in the future regardless.

 

[kingsofnba]

What about KT for Tony Battie and Stacey Augmon? We getsome toughness and a veteran. What do yall think?

interesting idea... but i don't know if Orlando would trade for KT, when they have drew gooden and Grant hill at PF and SF... battie is their only backup Center... and he is an ending contract.... so i highly doubt they would trade for KT... but tony battie would be the type of player the kings should go after in trade...

 

[Dime Dropper]

Peja for Pierce. Then we would be a contender because we're not now. It might work, Boston might do it, Petrie would be crazy not to, Petrie should make a move for a superstar to lead us to a title instead of hoping that our current team will win. Now is the time for the title push, we have excellent role players.

Drew Gooden is in Cleveland unless I missed another trade, and Hill will likely stay at Sf unless they dediced they want to start Hedo.

But much as I would really like to get another big in here, Battie is sucha marginal player and Augmon so flat out old that trading away KT for them would be questionable.

Yeah I know, but we could do with a big man. Also we should try to trade for a leader that can lead us to a title. I just think Pierce would be perfect with our brilliant role players.

oops... i meant tony battie, not drew gooden

but the advantage of trading for battie is he is a shot blocker and rebounder... he is also an ending contract... which gets us out from KT and 5yrs/$35mil contract...

I'm not saying I wouldn't, I likely would, because Camby is awesome, even if he misses some games every year. His contract isn't too great though. Just really don't think the Nuggets would.

About getting Battie, sounds real solid other than his knees. I'd put a few others ahead of him.

Peja, KT and Corliss for Chris Bosh and Jalen Rose

Toronto is reportedly close to resigning Matt Bonner at backup PF... with an overload at PF, Bosh, Villenuava, Bonner, could GP steal away Bosh, if he took on Jalen's overpriced contract???...

word out of toronto is that the raptors are anxious to get rid of Jalen's mega contract... there may be room for GP to offer a bonafide all-star, sweet shooting SF, Peja for Bosh... there is also a large serbian population in canada, so this may help them sell tickets...if the kings were willing to take on Jalen's mega deal... the kings could package Peja, KT, and Corliss for Chris Bosh and Jalen Rose... although toronto may require Skinner instead of KT or Corliss, since they are thin at Center...

the kings would get instant defense and offense at the PF... making them viable contenders right away... the kings would then resign songaila

PF Bosh/ Songaila
SF SAR/ Rose
C Miller/ Skinner/ Sampson
SG Wells/ Martin/ Garcia
PG Bibby/ Hart/ Price

 

[Dime Dropper]

I really like that trade, but unfortunately it is highly unlikely that Toronto would trade Bosh, I would love if they did but they probably wont. If that trade did go through, we would be contenders, we would have a taller team than most other teams, with SAR at SF and we would have another good bench player in Rose. But I don't see Petrie attempting a big trade for Sactown.

agreed, mostly

a)toronto wouldnt be thrilled with the deal

b)petrie is in love with peja

c)we get the huge contract

d)dont think rose will be happy at 6th man

I think there's more but I'll leave it at that.

The defense would be nice, and SAR being tall at SF, but still.

 

[Dime Dropper]

Ya, if Toroonto have to let go a PF, why would they trade away there best PF, when he is so good with such potential, it will never happen. Hope Petrie has one more big trade left in him.

 

[Squad907]

KT to Toronto for Eric and Aaron Williams. We get a 3rd PF who is defensive minded and tough to play behind SAR and Skinner, and also a defensive minded SF that could be great off the bench in spurts. Both have also been in the playoffs.
I think we address some toughness and rebounding that we would need come playoff time. Aaron Williams is in the last year of his contract, but I am unclear about Eric's because there is none stated at www.hoopshype.com/salaries for him. With the loss of Marshall, Toronto might take it.

Posted this a while back, but didn't get any response. Per RealGM.com, looks like Toronto is trying to open up a roster position.

There has been no indication which of the current Raptors would be on Babcock's hit list but the list of players unlikely to contribute in this rebuilding season includes Lamond Murray and Aaron Williams and, perhaps, Eric Williams.There has been no indication which of the current Raptors would be on Babcock's hit list but the list of players unlikely to contribute in this rebuilding season includes Lamond Murray and Aaron Williams and, perhaps, Eric Williams.

May be worth a try. I like both William's work ethic and defensive toughness.

 

[Kings113]

I wouldn't mind that, both Williams' are solid/decent players, who can play on both ends.

i just saw the same thing on hoopshype... i think this might be a good fit for both teams... KT could play SF for Toronto, but i am not sure they would want such a large contract if they are rebuilding... but eric williams still has 2 years at $4mil/year and Aaron williams is an ending contract.... the only thing is i don't know if toronto would want KT's contract... i think they would rather have skinner, because they are paper thin at Center, but if i were the kings i wouldn't trade skinner...

Again, can't imagine the Mavs doing that. Daniels may well be their starting OG this season, and is certainly a big part of what they want to do in the future regardless.

Marquis Daniels will be their 3rd sg, behing Stackhouse and Christie, and at the sf Josh Howard and Keith Van Horn will play all the minutes. Corliss would be a good complement for the Mavs, with Nowitzki or Van Horn playing the 4/3, and his contract expires in 2007 (a lot of players of the Mavs end his contract in 2007). So I think a trade Daniels for Williamson could happen.

Not going to happen IMO. The Mavs are much higher on Daniels than you think they are.

 

[Kings113]

Daniels or Stackhouse will start at SG, I'd lean towards Marquis. Doug's gonna be a third guard.

 

[thesanityannex]

Daniels for sure, he played injured throughout most of last year.

 

[captain bill]

Okay, why not...

Sacramento trades:
Brad Miller
Peja
Corliss

Recieves:
KG



Minnesota trades:
KG

Recieves:
Brad
Corliss
Jamal Crawford



NY trades:
Crawford

Recieves:
Peja


Our new lineup:
Bibby
Bonzi
?SAR/Thomas
Garnett
?Thomas/SAR/Skinner?

Gaping hole at C, but with a phenomenal PF and 4 other starters who are absolutely phenomenal, and KT in the mix, we rock the faces off many an opposing team.


works on realgm

 

[ParniValjak]

If and thats a big IF KG does get traded, it will be a team in the east. Wolves won't trade him to their conferenc rivals thats for sure.
