Monk and Sabonis for Garland, Allen and Okoro works salary wise.
We just need to attach picks. I wouldnt do more than three though. And one of those has to be the Spurs one.

The Kings are trading the best player in the deal, giving them a guy who would probably win 6MOY playing for them, and taking on extra salary to help them get under the second apron. I don’t know if many picks need to exchange hands here.

I think this trade can't happen because they're above the second apron. They can't add any player to Garland.

it worked in the fanspo trade machine, which takes the second apron thiong into account. i dont know if it does that correctly though

They can if the end result of the deal is them being under the second apron. In other words, second apron teams can pull off massive deals IF the end result is them giving up enough money that they’re under the apron (while still also having to observe the salary matching rules for NBA trades)
 
Man this is actually a smart movd by the Cavs if they can get a piece to play next to Mitchell, get below the second apron AND get a couple first rounders. They should absolutely do that

Sigh, what part of they can't aggregate players is confusing?

They have to get below before they can aggregate not during the transaction.

I don't think so. From the CBA page 187:

A Team may not engage in a transaction set forth in the Transaction Restrictions Table if, immediately following such transaction, the Team’s Apron Team Salary for such Salary Cap Year would exceed the “Applicable Apron Level” that corresponds with such transaction in the table

Similar language also covers the current time period (between the end of the regular season and July moratorium) but applies to the salary levels for the next season. So the Cavs apparently CAN aggregate salaries in a trade as long as their salary for next season ends up under the second apron after the trade.

Thats probably why it worked on the trade machine, as they obviously implemented this rule into their machine

Let me guess, because Allen blocks shots Sabonis is nowhere near the player he is.

He didnt compare Allen to Domas man, you guys are really maniacally reading stuff into what people write as if Domas was a little baby that only you can protect. All good.

And he is right, thats why we would have to overpay to get a deal like this done. In my mind, it would be worth it though.
If you want two main pieces of a contender, you have to overpay. Normally, two main players of a contender is worth it though.

I like Trae more than most but Trae and Sabonis would be difficult to cover for defensively. Offensively, could be beautiful.

More than difficult. It would literally be everything the current good teams are not. The Kings get thrown around so often with any big name player so we'll see what goes down but it could be worth putting money down that in a year or two the Kings lost Fox, overpaid for Young and ended up with neither Young nor Domas on the team, or massively overpaid contractually just to not lose talent again, while getting maybe less than 50% return on what they gave up if moved again. The risk of extended purgatory is very high if that team just kind of ended up meh. Almost like 100% depending on the draft assets the Kings give up. Young, LaVine, and Domas is 2k BS and one of the worst defensive trios you could even imagine. Garland wouldn't be much different. Don't let the other teams who are now realizing how important guard defense is trick you Vivek. You'd be falling into a trap.

Hmm, I'm not sure on this one. I think Young is a bit like Fox in terms of impact; if he found the right situation and the right "1B", I think he'd be right in that conversation again as an All-NBA candidate type guy.

I'd be very into especially if it were closer to a "buy-low" type scenario. Where all we're giving up is LaVine and picks. Trae in a 2-man game is a vast improvement over LaVine simply because Trae is one of the better passers in the league and still gives you that 3-level scoring that LaVine provides. Only 26 too.

Garland would be a better bet though because we haven't truly seen his ceiling away from Mitchell yet. His season absolutely suggests that if you got him away from Mitchell, he's someone that could pretty easily be 25+ PPG on elite efficiency. And his price should be somewhat reduced with his surgery and him potentially not being ready for game 1 next season.

Garland/Trae-Keon-Keegan-Domas is a really nice 4 to build around. If you found a way to steal Herb, that, on paper, would absolutely be a team competing for a top 6 spot.

I would think getting one of these win now PG's would be entirely based around LaVine and Domas being the guys they're building around. Salary wise the Kings clear big money package at that point is Monk/DeRozan. Then it's another Kangzy you're already built before even knowing what you are kind of things because you have your cap tied up in 3 players again. Just what a freaking slap in the face. They could have had Fox, LaVine, and Domas for cheap and would now end up not only building the type of team you really don't want to be if you're serious stylistically, but they'd likely being using the future to do it most likely while ending up with a team probably worse or at best similar to what they could have had. The good teams prey on desperation, not give into it.

It's funny, Young as an archetype is the issue. There would literally be no way for the Kings to build that team around Young/Domas unless they get really crafty with undrafted FA's. Then, at best? You just recreated the basement version of the Rockets. Who just showed us why you can stack defense from SG-PF all day long and have it not matter a whole lot. And FVV looks like the Glove next to Young. Young has to have a very specific team built around him as any small volume guard does. And where did this the Kings didn't offer Siakam a max being why he didn't want to go to Sac come from? Sounds like total cope to me.

Good, if Perry came in talking all that stuff about his vision only to turn around and go after Young that would either mean he's bonkers or stupid. That's literally the last player you'd go after if you are trying to build the team he was describing. Garland unfortunately isn't much better though. If the Kings came out after trading Fox for LaVine only to turn around and give the farm for someone like Garland it's a bad sign. He wasn't around back in the good 'ol bad days but someone really needs to smarten him up about skipping steps along the way.
 
Ham said we are taking a ton of calls on our players and a bunch of teams have called about Keegan. Not necessarily a surprise but if they move our only full sized defender….
