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

I heard against yesterday more demar to Miami talks. Wonder if thats on hold while sac figures out kuminga.

Demar for rozier
Monk for kuminga

Sabonis/maxime/eubanks
Kuminga/Jones
Keegan/nique
Lavine/keon
Schroder/carter/rozier

Would love to get Jaime in the Miami deal, but this would be fine to me. Much younger team instantly
 
Taking derozan for kuminga in a S/T actually makes sense for GSW. Their second unit get reliable scoring and a general to calm things when they get out of hand and he'd be on a short deal with only a partial guarantee for the 3rd year. They dont lose kuminga for nothing

Honestly, i think if we cant move DDR or lavine by the deadline, it may be worth buying DDR out (he is owed $35M guaranteed this year and next). See if he takes $18M at the deadline to walk and get him gone. We lose him yes and it makes us worse (which is probably a good thing) , but gets him off the books and allows Keegan to move to the 3 where he should be.

Yeah it honestly makes sense for both sides. They get a better win now piece for Steph, Jimmy and draymond, they dont really like Kuminga anyway. Kings get to take a flier on a young talented forward if he can pull a Andrew Wiggins and actually become a valuable player

I think the hard part is making the salaries work. With BYC for kuminga, derozan in a s&t is almost impossible.

Ty Jerome
Santi Aldama
Nickeil Alexander Walker
Jake LaRavia

Would be by 4 targets this off-season.

Ty Jerome already went into a bit. Was insanely good this last off-season, showed tremendous growth as a passer and shooter. Crazy efficient. Late breakout the major concern; was his last season a mirage?

Santi Aldama is very very interesting as someone you could plug at the 4 to get Keegan primarily back to the 3. Excellent shooter, very good connective passer. Makes a lot of winning plays. He's #2 for me in this FA class for someone, if given the opportunity, really breaks out next season as a quality starter.

NAW is a bit duplicative with Keon and now Nique, but I don't really care. You cannot have enough perimeter/wing defenders on your team, as OKC showed us. He's one of the best defenders in basketball, he plays incredibly hard and he's a proven volume 3pt shooter. If the point is to win games and bring in high quality talent, NAW is exactly that. You don't think Christie and Perry would be chomping at the bit getting to deploy so many perimeter defenders?

LaRavia is the biggest "unknown" of this bunch, but there's a ton to like in his profile. Some really exciting traits like being able to draw fouls, a real leap in shooting, an excellent wing passer, great size and feel for the game. Just another guy I think resonate with who and what Perry and Christie want this team to be; he's out there working his ass off and tough as nails.

That said, the Sacramento production took a massive dip from what he was doing with MEM. Does that give us a shot to keep him and get him a full off-season with us? Can only hope so, i'd love to see what he can do in a full-season with us

I'm a fan of those guys if the price tag is right, of course.

A couple other guys that might be interesting to look at are Josh Minott and Guerschon Yabusele. I can't imagine either guy would cost very much but they could be some good buy low options (specifically Minott since he's still only 22 years old). Minott's measurements are...

Height w/ Shoes = 6'8.75"
Wingspan = 6'11.75"
Standing Reach = 8'11.5"
Weight = 197.2 lbs
Body Fat = 4.7%

And his per36 min stats dating back to his college days are...

View attachment 13655

His advanced impact stats aren't that bad for a 22 year old either. If he can continue to improve his 3PT shot, I think he has a great chance of being an impact player. And considering he seems to be a pretty good free throw shooter already, that might be a decent gamble to make.

@The_Jamal crazy to think that Ty Jerome, Jake LaRavia, & Josh Minott combined are essentially making the same money as Dennis Shcroder & Drew Eubanks combined. Real bummer...

I think it works, according to Spotrac, if the Kings also absorb Buddy into the Huerter TPE. Then you can take on Kuminga at $25M (counting as $12.5M outgoing for the Warriors) with the additional $9M for Buddy making it work numbers wise. Not crazy about bringing Buddy back, but that works salary wise.

I think we would rather not take back Buddy

I'd say it was an easier path to building a real roster.
You had Fox/Tyrese as building blocks, and not much for bad contracts on the roster. Buddy was the worst, and he was making Monk money. Vlade had a lot of faults but he left us in a much better spot than we are now

Not to mention, I don’t think he is using the correct roster as we had Bogi on the roster at the time Monte too over and Bogi isn’t on the roster he posted. Plus Vlade does not get credit for Haliburton. But Vlade had also acquired a number of picks

Posted it on Reddit, but I think Vlade had accrued half a dozen if not more additional 2nds. Vlade was smart, he would sign vets and flip them for 2nds, almost to the point where it was annoying.

Monte wasted so many 2nds it wasnt funny.
2 2nds for Delon (who he gave away)
A 2nd for DDV who we didn't resign..
A 2nd for Sasha
2 2nds for Duarte
2 2nds to dump Sasha/Davion
2 2nds to dump Duarte
2 2nds for JVal
a 2nd for Laravia
13 2nds and we literally don't have a single player from that left on our roster.

But the funniest part is trading 2nds for a guy, then using 2nds to dump said player. The Sasha/McDaniels deal is particularly funny because Sasha gave back so much money that it was basically paying 3 2nds to turn Davion into nothing, and then 5 months later Toronto got a 2nd for Mitchell.

I know that 2nds are 2nds. They aren't huge assets. But it just goes to show the guy was getting taken advantage of at every turn.

I mean...Because, you know...Monte had some sort of a strange love fest with "cash considerations".

I blame cash considerations on Vivek. But I didn't even mention those picks. The Tillman, Hardy, KJ Martins we didn't take a chance on. He was somewhere in the 15-20 range of wasted 2nds if you count those. Impressive considering he was only GM for 5 seasons.

Which given his reputation as a person who could find gems in the draft was also really aggrevating. If you added in the wasted first for Kevin, Monte burned a lot of assets for nothing.

He really was up there with Vlade for worst GM’s of all time.
 
In seeing what the Kings have done post Monte, I really don't think these were ever "Monte" picks. This really looks like the organization leaning on info from scouting which appears to still be connected in some way.
