Jake Fischer reported the Pistons have answered calls about the availability of Saddiq Bey. The 6’7 wing is reportedly no longer viewed as untouchable. If Bey is available, I really think the Kings should try to trade for him as the starting small forward. He seems like a really good fit for the core of Fox, Sabonis, Murray and Huerter, and fits their timeline too. I would even offer a 2023 1st round pick because for the first time in a really long time, the Kings picks does not look like being a lottery pick (huzzah!).
Also, Juancho Hernangomez would be another great pick up as a floor-spacing big, i.e., in addition to getting Saddiq Bey.
PG: Fox............... Davion
SG: Huerter......... Monk
SF: Bey................ Barnes
PF: Murray.......... Juancho
CE: Sabonis........ Holmes
If the Kings can get Bey + Juancho, while keeping the others named in the lineup above, they will have options galore and be a real dark horse to come out of the West.
(Patrick Williams might be an even better fit than Bey, but PWill might cost too much to trade for. It won't hurt for the Kings to see if that could be done though.)
