[Rumor] Russell Westbrook Expected To Sign With The Sacramento Kings

[TheMobb]

content creators masquerading as insiders must be hyped on the Perry regime but I am longing for the do-nothing, say-nothing era of 2020-2025 right now.

These guys are paid to talk about the Kings for 4 hours a day. If they didn’t create false narratives they would run out of content and would have nothing to talk about.

Exactly, these reports could all just be smoke from agents or teams looking to push an agenda, or media just looking for something to talk about. Or they could be pieces the Kings use to upgrade the forward spot/frontcourt. Let’s wait and see what actually happens before coming to conclusions based on these reports.

It's starting to feel like all our eggs are in the Kuminga basket. And that we were confident we could balance the roster by trading out some of the guard glut, bring him in and have the room to immediately plug in Dennis as a starting PG and Russ backing him up.

Even then, we can't be done. Assuming some version of Monk+Carter goes out for Kuminga, then where do you put DDR? Because Kuminga certainly isn't signing here to come off the bench. Does that Heat rumor have any juice?

The biggest knock on him headed into the draft was shopping high schools, his dad coaching the AAU team, and Duke basically having to dumb down their system for him. He basically was the textbook coast on athleticism and physical tools until he ran up against his own peers and then couldn't compete.

How's his flow?

Didn’t bother listening was just amused that he came up on my stream and comments were filled with how we took him over Luka but he never addressed them haha

That could all be possible, but there could also be other deals out there that we haven’t heard about it.

I’m willing to roll with this. Kuminga is young with boat loads of potential, Russ is old but has more triple doubles than any player in nba history.
I reckon we need to do something, even Jerry Reynolds wasn’t convinced after summer league that Carter has the chops to be a starting lead guard. As far as DDR goes, it’s already been explained that if Kuminga is in he’s being moved to a good team, likely Miami for Rozier who has no future here and draft compensation.
Just get it done already so I can focus on something else.

So far, every time I've grown impatient and thought poorly of the front office Scott Perry has pleasantly surprised me. Trying to be patient now as he attempts to execute something far more difficult than the move for a first round pick.

I think if we get Kuminga in some sort of trade that we then move DDR for rozier and maybe. 2nd rounder and probably wave rozier. Losing Carter is like losing your favorite hangnail. Not much there. He is 6’2 and not a point guard. He is Quincy Douby 2.0

You may be right, I don’t know. I have only heard from some more knowledgeable than me, Jerry Reynolds for example, that he really didn’t impress that much in summer league. Also Monte, a flaming idiot drafted him so wouldn’t be surprised if Perry has little attachment.

Uhm... what? That is one of the worst player comps I've seen around here in a long time.
