Don’t get it.

I liked Hunter in ATL but does he fit a rebuilding timeline?

 

[Caccia]

Logjam has been freed. What's next?

 

[luckytkp]

We didn’t even get a single pick?!

 

[The_Jamal]

Why are we not getting the picks?

 

[upinsmoke]

Writing was on the wall because we suck at basketball stuff.

 

[Spike]

...where's the rest of the deal?

 

[NewArena]

Don’t get it.

Maybe another deal will make it make sense. I’m not mad at them acquiring another wing and potentially raising his value

This! And I’m glad Monk is still here

Are the second round picks to Chicago coming from us?

 

[Dongoodboy]

Don’t tell me the 2nd are from us

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Amen to the Dylan part! Also happy for Keon going to a competitive team even though they aren’t anywhere close to last season’s squad.

How come whenever the Kings make a trade, we always find ourselves asking “There’s got to be another deal/move to this?” SMH

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Interesting that this frees up two roster spots as it's currently reported.

 

[iowamcnabb]

oof. What’s the plan here? Rehab Hunter and trade him for …. 2 second round picks we already could have had?

Hunter has been a pretty good player, he is a better player than either guy we just traded and there is a chance we could sign him to a reasonable extension later but I don’t really get it

haha see my simultaneous post though. Salary is whacked though. This could be the opening move on a Zach or Domas deal where 2-3 players come back.

Does a healthy Hunter start on this Kings team?

For sure but don’t really want that during a tank year

 

[Caccia]

Why is Chicago involved at all? I am missing something here.

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Cavs made out like bandits my god

 

[coolhandluke]

Farewell, Keon and Dennis. Happy that Keon gets out of this festering mess.

Kings not getting any picks is a level of incompetence that needs to be studied.

[luckytkp]

so we had to attach Ellis to trade away our biggest offseason signing?? Lol

 

[Jdbraver137]

Basically Perry undoing his failure in signing Dennis and not extending Keon. Just piling on the negative Monte did

Why would we extend Hunter though? He doesn’t suit our timeline, a normal team would expect fire sale for picks and young player , but this team, Vivek didn’t say they are not like us for nothing

 

[Kingz19]

I don’t understand where Chicago fits in here and who sent them the picks?

 

[Jdbraver137]

Did kings give up 2 2nd rounders?
