Potential Free Agent/Trade/Sign Tracker, '25-'26 Season

[ockingsfan]

If I thought DeRozan would agree to come off the bench, or the Kings were willing to force him..I wouldn’t want to trade him at all. He would be an absolute beast off the bench.

I also think Aldama would be a great pick up and a good fit with Domas.

If Christie could somehow convince DeRozan to come off the bench and we can slide Lavine to small forward (where he often played for the Bulls), the Kings could start a more balanced line up, even if we don't make any big moves.

PF: Keegan / Issac Jones / Raynaud
SF: Lavine / DeRozan / LaRavia (re-signed)
C: Sabonis / JVal
SG: Keon / Clifford / TD
PG: Monk / Devin Carter

I wonder what it must be like, seeing your name bandied about in trade scenario after trade scenario? I suppose if you had a nice cabin in the Sierra Nevada without internet, cable, or cell service, it would be more bearable.

I just read on HoopsHype that Zach Lowe thinks the Kings are, or would be, interested in Jaylen Brown of the Celtics. It would have to be a massive trade package, though, and he doubts the Celtics would take it. Brown's base salary is over $54 million next season, their second-most expensive player. On the other hand, the Celtics have already agreed to trade Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday. At the same time, Jayson Tatum is likely to miss the entire season.

Meanwhile, Davion Mitchell signed a two-year, $24 million guaranteed contract with the Miami Heat.

The issue here is that Matt George is kinda not plugged in

Yea I just don't buy that. There are certainly some players that have little to no value, and I just don't see Monk being one of them. Inefficient, sure - but his passing, ball handling and scoring ability is enough for any team to wanna give him a shot and his contract is nowhere near egregious territory IMO.

If he's such a good catch, why is he always on the move? Not a great three point shot or on catch and shoot, and on the smaller side. I'd rather root for Monk if landing Schroeder means that Monk is on the way out.

Hmm I just liked this post and the one you quoted because I genuinely see both sides here and I'm torn lol

Kinda hard to ask a lot when you didn’t have faith in him enough to ever play any kind of role and only spot starts and you don’t want to resign him. Cant ask for much given those credentials GS is putting out there. I would say monk is more valuable to the kings than kuminga was to the warriors. Murray or Keon are a no go for me

Yea if we were willing to give them Keegan, that would have been done already. HELL NO
