if a pick (guessing second rounder) and a middling prospect on a bad contract is all it takes for Jonas, the Kings can beat the Nuggets offer.

they are going all in it seems. I’m still shocked they are willing to trade MPJ for Lavine but I guess they think he has the skill set they need and since both players have injury history they figure it’s worth the risk.

They are in their championship contending window, why wouldn't they go all in

LaVine when healthy is a more talented player for sure. Not sure about the defense of a Murray/LaVine backcourt though. That's pretty brutal on paper. The Nuggets have to do something though. However at the end of the day they are always just skirting around the big issue and that's as soon as they run into a pick and roll powerhouse Jokic is a sitting duck. The year they won he had to full on commit to defending along with a little luck of it being a down year at the top end of the conference. Maybe going all offense is indeed the best route at this point.

All in for a guy that other teams only want if it comes with compensation is pretty risky especially when they are giving up a core player

Capt. Sez: Probably not interesting, but unclogging it from the news feed in case anybody wants to see it. Gist: Kings have inquired into DFS, Cam Johnson, Kuzma, are willing to trade Huerter/Lyles.

Feels like Cam Johnson would fit into this team really good.

Fox, Monk/Ellis, Keegan, Cam, Sabonis

Welp…that sucks.

On the other hand, I wouldn’t have been willing to surrender a 1st for a more than likely expiring DFS. And on top of the 1st round pick, Kennard and Konchar are not nothing. That’s a lot of value to give up for DFS.

Grizz will trade Smart imo after this move, DFS replaces what he does and is much bigger and without the low IQ factor Smart brings

Smart's a combo guard though. I think neither gets in the way of the other.

Well we know who Sidery was trying to build a market for. Dudes working the Nets, lol. Good for them getting a pick, wonder if it's protected.

 

[The_Jamal]

This is why teams get away with these stupid asking prices for their role players. Because someone eventually caves and pays it.

Stupid trade for Mem

If it’s not, the Grizzlies might need to fire their GM lol

Also more proof that De’Aaron would fetch an absolutely stupid haul if the Kings actually did decide to put him on the trade market.

 

[SacTownKid]

Well, it sounds like that pick is protected. The issue with Monte moving picks like that is he already did it with Huerter. Can't move any more future picks unless it's a legit piece coming back. It's too dangerous. The unprotected pick swap in '31 for DeRozan was dangerous enough.

I'm seeing fans of other teams (like the Thunder and Mavs) clamoring for Deni Avdija. I think he would make a whole lot of sense for the Kings too. Not sure how the Kings can go about trading for him though. Any ideas?

• G: Fox
• G: Monk/Ellis
• F: Murray/DeRozan
• F: Avdija
• C: Sabonis

Didn’t Portland just trade a first for him no way they trade him after giving up assets this quick

He then went on to be so bad that the Blazers had to bench him so who knows what they want to do with him longterm at this point.

I guess this is where the Kings FO need to put on their Woody Woodpecker hats and tap, tap, tap away.

If Avdija is made aware of the Kings' genuine interest in him, I'd like to think that he would ask out... to be part of a better team/squad.

I’m all for the trade but it’s rare for teams to admit they messed up I’d give a first for him

Better squad let’s not get carried away

Portland traded two first round picks.

Wizards get:

Malcolm Brogdon
Carlton Carrington (14th overall pick)
2029 first-round pick (second-most favorable from Portland)
2028 second-round pick
2030 second-round pick

Trail Blazers get:

Deni Avdija

https://www.nba.com/news/wizards-blazers-trade-avdija-brogdon

I’ve thought a lot about trying to buy low, but Portland is also not in any rush to sell low, I’d imagine. Maybe if you also get Time Lord you offer two picks and see if they’ll take that to be made whole?

 

[iowamcnabb]

If DFS got a first that has to take us out on Cam. After what we saw today, we better not trade Carter and more for Cam. That kind of lunacy might be enough to send my fandom packing. That leaves Kuzma or Collins. It has to be one it’s Collins all the way for me.

We were never trading Carter for Cam but if they get a first for DFS than they’ll be getting a kings ransom for cam

 

[iowamcnabb]

Could we get in on Vince Williams with the DFS signing? He is injured right now haven’t checked for an update

Would it not be DeRozan with way worse offense but more playmaking (not needed really with Sabonis/Fox) and equally bad spacing?

with less iso, less points per game... but more defense (including the ability to be a lead defender), more spacing (36% on 5.5 3PA vs 31% on 2.2 3PA per 36, and including a willingness to stay in the corner), more play-making, more height, more rebounds (+4 rebounds per 36).

I think Deni would just fit much better with either Murray or DeRozan in the lineup, compared to playing Murray + DeRozan as the two Forwards. This might also help to bring more out of Murray, DeRozan and others.

Not ideal fit but yeah you are correct he's a very unselfish player , I do think his best role is off the bench but another playmaker would not hurt.
