None, they are all tradeable.

No one on our team is a super-star stud that you build the whole franchise around. As such there is no point keeping any of them just for the sake of it. They are all tradeable
 
I'd say Bibby just because its too hard to find true talent at the PG spot these days. The same thing is said about the C spot but talent is so thin there I don't think it matters all that much. You can get by with a rebounding/shotblocker/hustle guy at C, and I don't think many teams have the right pieces to compensate for a weak PG.

Of course I would hate to see Bonzi moved the most. I have been a fan of this guy since the 2000 jailblazer days (not because of his bad publicity of course!) and have grown to like him even more now.

The only problem with that analysis is that Bibby is not really a PG
 
I picked Bonzi, not becuase I think the Kings should build around him, but for that he is a highly valuable player that use to build around a super-star.

A starter Roll-Player. Very hard to find.
 
Brad has to leave. He has not shown anything other then passing so far this season. Which is a real concern. If we can get a solid center for Brad it would be nice, someone that could at least rebound and get you some blocks. who cares if he can't pass, i don't remember Brad being a superb rebounder before he came to the Kings...

We have heard this before....again and again. We know that you do not like Brad. The question is...who would you NOT trade?
 
I voted for SAR but I would be willing to trade anyone if the price is right. The only reason I voted for SAR is that he is only big name FA we had since Chris and for us to trade him after he signed for much less than he could of got from a crappy team would make us look really bad. Our team has hard time as it is to attract FAs, if we trade SAR it would make us look even worse to any possible FAs in the future.

We don't know what we can and can't get. I doubt the 76ers thought that they could get an All-Star PF with all-around game for 3 tweeners with oversized contracts.

I still think that Bibby would net us the most in return if he was packaged in a deal for a superstar player.
 
i voted bonzi. mostly because he brings the kings a toughness that the kings need.

and he's the ONLY one that brings it...at least of the players that are stuck in Rick's rotation...if Corliss was in there, if Skinner was in there....ho hum....
 
Wow I'm surprised to be the only person who voted for "other" = "nobody on the squad is untradeable". But that is my vote. Trading Bonzi at the peak of his marketability (imo now) could be a good move since you're going to have to pay the man next year. If you can get rid of a guy in contract year it could be the right thing to do - depending on what you get.
 
wow, thought I'd be in the minority voting for Bonzi, but evidently I'm not the only one watching the games!;) Seriously, I really like what Bonzi brings to the team, I think he brings a toughness that we lack. I also think he has leadership potential, if the Kings signed him to a longer contract I can see him stepping up as a real leader.
 
Can't really answer who I would or wouldn't trade without knowing the offer. Having said that, I would trade anyone/everyone for one difference maker, a superstar or a true potential star/superstar. We have no one close to that.
 
Fascinating poll results; the only thing that surprises me more than seeing five votes for BP is seeing three votes for Garcia... I mean, there are thirteen players on this team, and the one guy that you think is untradeable is Francisco F. Garcia? :eek:
 
I chose other- I love bonzi and what he brings...but eventually the way he is playing his trade value is going to peak sooner rather then later. Bonzi is the only person that i would second guess trading now adays. Everyone else is expendable..long as of course we dont get three bad contract players in return *cough*.
 
And Bonzi may actually be getting discouraged. He's played hard and now he's stuck on the bench, waiting for a groinal injury to heal and watching the team he thought would at least be competitive dissolve into the oozing pit of NBA cellardom...
 
Very true VF....Ironically it could be the best time to trade Bonzi after people have seen what he can do..or what he can do on a team like the Kings. He is the only warrior we have though, so i hope Petrie dosent do it. That and it would look bad because we just signed him. Night in and night out though this season Bonzi is the only one i can count on to show with heart.
 
Not only does it look bad and send a ridiculous message to once AGAIN trade away the only warrior on the roster, but you can never gain any ground that way. Never change the culture and get a TEAM that fights and claws if you just keep on swapping one warrior for another like there's some designated limit on guys with heart on the roster and there is only the one roster spot for them. You want a team that doesn't mail it in? Trade some of the guys doing the mailing for some guys who will NOT, and keep the guys with heart you already have. You give me three major players who play as hard as Bonzi and it becomes a personality and expectation for the whole team.

Exactly...alot of people dont realize that just because you have a talented team that works well together...it does NOT mean you will win it all. You have to have passion, you have to have people that want to take that final step...that are willing to get hurt whether they come out on top or not, because there IS a chance that they will. THATS my definition of a warrior. When Bonzi got hurt...you didnt see him colapse on the sideline, you didnt see him collapse on the court, his pride wouldnt let him, he waited until a point where people couldnt see it..well damn cameras got it, but still you get my point. Trading him for another player like him would NOT accomplish anything, its like having a car that wont start and replacing the engine over and over and over again, when in reality it was never the problem, the damn battery was dead.
