I’m okay with his size if we see him as a lead guard. I keep hearing we need to address that position too and Garland is proven and only 25.
He is pricey and any injury is a concern, but yeah I like him more than most players suggested.

On 1140 there's a lot of negativity on DDR's trade value and a lot of talk about stuff being done in summer of 2026. In other words, run it back.....
Personally, I see no reason why Miami should be interested in DDR. If the logic is that Miami failed in getting Durant so of course they should be interested in DDR, I'm not getting the logic. Durant is a 3-point artist, while DDR is a relic of another era. Miami likes defense; DDR has got no defense. If Perry gets much for DDR from any team he'll earn some points from me.

Yeah, honestly, I'm perfectly fine with Perry waiting it out a bit. Less likely to overpay once the initial smoke clears out.

Miami couldn’t score. Demar can. Seems pretty simple to me. He has his faults but he is a bucket.
I'd be fine with that RJ trade and just take the gamble on RJ's talent at the wing spot.
We'll see on Carter. I find it hard to believe that a coach in DC's mold is going to want to give up on Devin Carter so quickly.
Matt George is to Scott Perry what sactowndog is to Monte McNair.

And the way he said it was pretty dismissive. My guess is that when Carter was coming back from injury he was a little heavy. He even mentioned it himself. Which it wasn't much of anything anyway.

Miami is always looking to put the screws on a team though. They always feel like their role players deserve star value. Riley is old school. He's probably not pulling off one of these sell the farm for a Bane level player type of deal. The only thing they have going for themselves right now is they're in the East.

Riley definitely thinks he’s smarter than he actually is at this point. Definitely not selling the farm for Derozan but Wiggins + 20 for Derozan and seconds or something along those lines isn’t crazy. Depends how much they do or do not value Wiggins

Miami sends Wiggins to Kings no 20 to Toronto
Kings send DEMAR and two 2nds to Miami
Kings send Monk and Jonas to Toronto
Toronto sends Barrett and No 9 to Kings
Miami and Toronto get players they want
And send out players they want
Kings get Barrett and Wiggins and no 9 for a Pg

So because DDR scores from the midrange, he’s a “relic” so do the points not count or something? There’s value in a guy who can get buckets and get to the line. No one’s saying he doesn’t have flaws, but he’s still elite at getting buckets and getting to the line.

That would be awesome value. No way the Kings can pull that off. Then the team in the end is even wonkier than the Raptors are with their team full of wings haha.

Maybe a future protected no 1 to Toronto
Pg No 9, Ellis, Carter
Sg Lavine,Barrett, TD
Sf Keegan, Resign Doug McDermott
PF Wiggins, Jake
C Sabonas, Issac Jones

It was a clown offer the guy justified it by saying look what they traded Porzingis for his opinion on anything is invalid after that statement and offer

All-Star
And this makes no sense for the PG part. A rookie PG is for a total rebuild, which is why it makes no sense they are trying to get into the 1st round for a PG. PG take 3+ years to get where they need to be for a playoff team. It's rare for a rookie to be able to contribute like that.

Exactly. Especially these ones This doesn't look like a strong PG draft at all. Fears looks to have some potential, but he's not that great on defense, doesn't really have the tools to be, he's not an out of this world athlete and is somewhat raw for a team trying to win. The rest of them are decent but all of them look to have question marks in some way. If Jase Richardson, Saraf, Proctor, or even Martin are all 25+. Just get there. I wouldn't be suprised to see any of them end up the better NBA player. Demin and Jakucionis are interesting but not worth a major deal. Demin looks like a cross between Tristan Da Silva with Giddeys game. Again, if the Kings are in love with anyone be in love with someone like Fleming or Coward. Just go full boom/bust.

Marc Stein report names the Kings as the “likely leading suitor for Dennis Schroder” heading into free agency. Considering the lack of options, I guess it would be a solid stop-gap option.
The report also mentions that we have had discussions with OKC for the 24th pick.

Ok. So I like Dennis, that’s the kind of short term starter I could live with.
I could see OKC selling us 24 for a swap given they don’t have roster space for more players but it could be slim pickings at 24

Does Perry dislike monk and Carter that much that we’re looking at Shreuder and a rookie

With both trades taking place earlier, i think there were two things that weren't written.
Trail Blazers wing Matisse Thybulle is opting into the final year of his contract by exercising his player option for 2025/26.
Thybulle signed a three-year, $33MM deal with Portland during the summer of 2023 that included a third-year player option worth $11.55MM. By picking up that option, the 28-year-old will guarantee his salary for ’25/26.
Thybulle had some fans here in the forum but I guess it was expected he would opt in.
Dallas Mavericks nine-time NBA All-Star Kyrie Irving is declining his $43 million player option and intends to sign a three-year, $119 million contract with the franchise, sources tell ESPN. The deal includes a player option in the 2027-28 season.
