Ok, so here is a new poll, with some modifications/additions...enjoy!

Can someone go ahead and "close" my other thread of the same name (the first one)?
thanks...

Here's the question again....

If you had a legitimate offer on the table to acquire a superstar scorer (insert name here), but the offer requires you to give up either Omri, Donte, or Cisco as part of a package with maybe another player, a future draft pick, or some cash, who would you rather give up and why?
 
I love Donte. Love his attitude, personality, skills, size... and I'm sure he works hard... but I just wonder... how much does he work on his jumpshot. If that aspect of his game was solid.... man... it would bring it all together.

If I were him, I'd be spending 3-4 hours a day working on that thing, and all other training methods to strengthen jumpshot muscles/coordination. Like Dirk did. Dirk didn't always have that incredible shot. He worked with some special German trainer for a while to get it down.

If I were these guys and had the money and time (and energy, he's not playing much right now) to do that, man.... just go nuts!
 
That's an impossible queation to answer without knowing what the hypothetical offer would be. What's a legit superstar scorer anyway? Wouldn't Kevin Martin count? Because that's all he does, score at a near superstar rate. It's the rest of his game which knocks him down a few notches.

This is far too openended of a question. I would trade all 3 for Granger if it was possible. If it's who would I rather keep of the 3, it's Omri hand down. But that all depends on the offer, the replacement, the age of said player, the position he plays, as well as what type of game he has.

What's with pitting our players against eachother anyway? "Insert name here"? We need a lot more than that to go on. You are aware we have a Personell Moves forum where we actually discuss trades, right?

If the question is who is better, or who would you rather keep, that's been discussed to death. This is a waste of time.

First, no I am not aware that there is a Personell Moves forum (I am new)
Second, the question is not who is better or who would you rather keep, it's who would you rather trade.
Third, I am not stupid. I understand that the three names mentioned above are probably the 3 players on our roster that will give us something in return (i.e. a legit player or a good draft pick)...Ideally I am sure most fans (such as myself) would like to keep all 3 on this team, but since it is clear that what we lack is a legit scoring threat, its pretty much set in stone that we probably will have to give up 1 or 2, or maybe even all 3, of the players mentioned in this poll...
Fourth....if you want a name of a "Superstar Scorer"...then here I go. KOBE BRYANT.
The reason I kept it open ended like that is because I am pretty sure most Kings fans have their own opinion(s) on which superstar(s) we should go after....
And, NO, Kevin Martin does NOT count...
 
obviously you trade all three and don't blink if it is brining back a major star. But it you have to choose it probably depends on who the star is. Omri has the most overall keep markers right now, but I've mentioned before that if you are bringing in a third major scorer to play 35+min at his position, then he is not only unnecessary, he would likely be unhappy and not as good a bench option as Donte (defense, versatility, roleplayer) or Cisco (accepts role). On the other hand, if you brought in a defensive oreinted star, then Omri could still be punch off the bench. And if you bring in an older guy and are trying to win in the next 3-5 years, then maybe you just stay with Cisco since he's experienced, can play the role now, and isn't going through growing pains. There is no universal answer. None of them are untouchable for the right guy.
 
I think the most logical trade would involve Casspi because he's the best prospect, and Cisco because he is the biggest contract. I know we dont have to match contracts because we are under the cap, but IF we trade for a guy like Iggy I could see us making them take Cisco's deal back.

And thats fine with me. I like Donte on this team best long term. Any big trade for us is probly going to have to include Casspi and/or our pick this year. We arent trading Cousins or Evans, and Omri is the next best piece.

So if you ask who I would rather give up, it would be the less talented of the 3, Cisco and Donte. But if you trade lesser talent, you receive less in return. I bring that up, because if you want something halfway decent in return, you need to trade Omri, but Omri is the one I'd rather keep.

Then it becomes a question of what you're getting in return. You want a scorer. A pure scorer? That's what KMart is. Can't do anything else. Or a better allaround player, like a Granger/Wallace/Prince? Or is it even a sf you want in return? Omri for Lowry? But Lowry isn't a scorer, but could help this team. We have a lack of outside shooting on this team, but one of our biggest problems has been opposing wings lighting us up. In that case, a topflight scorer isn't as important as someone who can defend wings.

What about chemistry? You want a shooter, or a ball dominant player who needs the ball? Do you expect a superstar scorer to come in and take a back seat to Tyreke and Cousins? Granger would work. Brandon Roy wouldn't. See my point?

You bring up we might have to trade all 3 to get a scorer in return. You can't trade all 3 sf's to a team, and expect something great in return. Well, technically you could, but you would have to show me one time in history of the NBA a team unloaded all 3 of their sf's in a trade.

You brought up Kobe as a superstar scorer. He's much more than a scorer. Like I said, a scorer, or allaround player? Why wouldn't Kevin count? He's a top 10 scorer, and 3rd in the league in 3's made. If you're interested in trade ideas, I suggest you do some research, and present a realistic trade proposal in the Personnel Moves forum. But this question is far to openended to give a detailed answer, without any guidelines. KMart fits perfectly as an answer to your original question, but you said he doesn't count, nor could we trade those guys for him.

How about you tell us what you think all three could yield in a trade, and ask if we would pull the trigger on that trade? What is the value of each? What teams would be interested? What position are you trading for? Scorer, shooter, or allaround player?
