Wait. How are we trading James in this S-and-T. You can’t packing guys as the signing side of one of these.
Thank you.
Not getting a pick sucks but committing to those three players in their late 20s with no more room to growth leaves us in cap hell and an 11th seed. That's a Vlade plan.
Getting Divencenzo is a signal to me that we're looking to get younger and not commit more to our failed rebuild. It's a move that Vlade would have never made and indicates a regime shift.
2020 non-guaranteed, fully if not waived on or before two days following 2020 NBA Draft, 06/27/2020 (@EricPincus)That's good to know, we should cut him off then. Any partial?
yeah not upset we’re moving him or whatever. Just trying to work out how. might be part of an adjacent smaller deal.With DiVincenzo on board, there wasn't going to be any PT for James anyway. Keeps us from having too much of a logjam.
Local kid too.Can't sleep on DJ Wilson either with Giles on the way out. Never hurts to have a young, toolsy developmental big and getting him on board lessens the blow of losing our own young, toolsy developmental big.
Prob split into 2 trades.Wait. How are we trading James in this S-and-T. You can’t packing guys as the signing side of one of these.

The problem is that Bogdan can't sign the S&T until Nov. 22. Ilyasova's guarantee date is Nov. 20 unless somehow the NBA moved it - but as it was initially two days after the NBA draft, I'm sure it will stay there. It was always intended to be BEFORE the free agent signing period.
That means that Milwaukee has to guarantee Ilyasova's contract to Include him in the trade. We'll be on the hook for that $7M.
And no picks?!?
I feel like I lack the knowledge to grade this but I'm a bit whelmed to not get some pick back.
Bucks literally didn’t have a tradeable pick until 2026
Hearing bad news about the CBA, some people saying in order for this trade to work the Bucks had to guarantee Ersan, meaning he's on the books now.
They just gave up 3 picks + 2 swaps for Jrue. That 3+2 is way more than Jrue is worth, while Bogi is worth way more than DD. Bucks shipping out 3 + 2 swaps + spare change for Jrue + Bogi is a good move overall for keeping Giannis
So guess what? Really great trade for 2 teams! Someone got left out in the cold and accepted scraps when some beautiful cuts of meat were trading hands at the main table
Of course NO makes out like bandits and the kings get left with scraps
But in the context of Bogi's being a restricted free agent, he easily could have been lost for nothing. The problem was that the Kings were in a lose-lose situation. Lose him for nothing or S&T him for pretty much nothing. At least this way if Donte or DJ pan out to useful players, there's some benefit

In terms of new salary for the Kings, Donte DiVincenzo has a team option in 21-22, while DJ Wilson will have a qualifying offer after this coming season. Ersan Ilyasova will be an expiring contract after the 20-21 season.
Plus, Donte isn’t scraps. He made pretty big improvements this last year and averaged 9 5 and 2 for a 50 plus win contender at the age of 23. I won’t be surprised if he is a future 6th man finalist.
