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

[kingsboi]

They have enough pieces to surround him imo. Front office is known for taking swings, so who knows

they would go from WC Finals contenders to first round exit team

 

[kingsboi]

They have Gobert and mcdaniels they should take that deal if it was available

I'd rather they go after Garland or Anthony Black

I’d argue they are headed for a first round exit right now. They aren’t going to beat Denver again as currently constructed.

the loss of Alexander Walker was a sting for sure without adding any legit number two option

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Black broke out already he won’t be traded and garland value is to high for the assess Minnesota has

 

[Jdbraver137]

I have a strong feeling that after the deadline we will have the exact same team, except we give keon up for cash considerations.

 

[Jdbraver137]

I also feel like we should give wiseman a chance. Why the hell not ?

Black is their back up and if he continues to improve, they are already paying big bucks to Franz and Banchero, don't see how they can offer Black 100 mill at this rate unless they move Paolo

I’m waiting to see if Monk gets his 3rd DNP-coaches decision in a row today before I come to that conclusion. However, if Demar and LaVine are still on the team after the deadline wouldn’t surprise at all.

More reason for them to trade Paolo

they need to strike pretty soon here I think in the same way that ATL finally decided to part ways with Trae

Suggs is the problem he makes AD look like ironman in terms of injury

I love watching Suggs play but he plays so recklessly that it will shorten his career with injuries I'm afraid.

Given their need to find their guard of the future, maybe there is an actual path to the Kings and Raptors coming to terms on what could be the biggest deal of the trade deadline involving Sabonis. And, of course, there is then the possibility of this scenario becoming a multi-team trade.

Just keep in mind that the Raptors haven't been afraid to pull off big, unexpected moves, and they also have held interest in Malik Monk in recent years. A package of Sabonis, Monk, and Ellis for Quickley and Barrett raises an eyebrow. This is not to say that the two teams have discussed such a deal, but it could be a potential framework if these teams get serious.

 

[ESP47]

I'd be looking to try to get someone like Murray-Boyles from the Raps. I just can't help but think that Quickley and Barrett would potentially help prop us back up into that almost play in purgatory position.

 

[Light it up]

So Clutch tried to get Lavine to Atlant this summer and Kings said no? I wonder what the deal was? Lavine for Trae I assume.

It's interesting.... I am a total "no" on Trae; however, over the summer, when Perry was desperately trying to sign Schruder and Westbrook, you would have thought an option of balancing out our backcourt by swapping Zach for Trae would have been intriguing.

This one belongs in the bad trade thread.

Explain? Monk allegedly has zero value getting DNP-CD and Ellis is walking with low value as well

Go check out Dillingham's stats. Major bust potential. Probably already is. I'd rather they apologize profusely to Keon and attempt to get him resigned instead of going this route.

He hasn’t even played to be called a bust.. y’all gotta let this Keon stuff go why would he resign here would you resign

I wouldn't resign if I was him but I also wouldn't trade a known solid 3&D player for a guy who is in his 2nd year with worse advanced stats than Nique. Keon can pull in more than that, even as a UFA.

 

[iowamcnabb]

If I was Minny I’d rather have Dennis. He is on a midlevel deal and it’s not long term. Conley, a min contract and a couple second rounders would be better value for them

It's not clear that Keon Ellis views the Kings organization with as much disdain as you do. You're coming to that interpretation based on a small amount of data and a large amount of your pre-existing biases.

lol why would I have bias.. why would Keon think resigning with a team that didn’t offer an extension and doesn’t play him is good for his career. Unless of course you have kings basis and think it’s good to resign and sit on the bench for the next 2-3 years

We’re not in the room to hear what conversations they’ve had, but if the roster is different and they’re telling Keon and his agent that they want him and are willing to sign him to an extension at the number he and his agent want that’s enough reason to listen.

Just take this year off in playing to to lower your value then we got you after.. aye if Keon is that stupid I’m all for wanting him here maybe that’s why Carter isn’t a cheerleader as well
