Terrible Kings trades proposed by the internet super thread 2024/2025 edition

[SacTownKid]

I don't want to trade Keegan but I'd argue that even as bad as his shooting has been he's continued to show growth in his game. I really think he's being overworked and if he went to a team with a little more balanced roster construction he'd probably quickly get his shot back and make us look dumb.

I think part of it is also one of those things where if Keegan were drafted 14th he'd be considered a great pick. Being 1-4 is always one of those things where if you aren't a star fans will crap all over it just because. Keegan has developed into a highly productive role player and that's essentially his role since he's rarely going to shoot more than 10-12 shots in any given game.

The Blazers getting a 1st outright will surprise me. The team getting Grant would have to be desperate or it would have be a highly conditional pick like the one the Kings gave to Atlanta.

Ya saw on realgm someone posted The Athletic trade article it’s saying Grant value is a second. I’ll say this

Yeah I made a proposal during the off-season that was something like…

Kevin Huerter
Trey Lyles
Keegan Murray
Jalen McDaniels

for

Jerami Grant
Deni Avdija
Jabari Walker

Her proposal essentially dropped Avdija from the trade (which was the most valuable asset coming back to us).

I doubt Portland trades Avdija right after giving up assets for him

And yet I'd still say he'd go 4-5 in the draft based on his current production, Jalen Williams has made a huge leap, Shaeden Sharpe looks like he could play himself into the top 5. Compared to the consensus top 6 he's only behind Chet and Paolo right now.

Yeah, it's all literally just the number people look at. People never actually relate these things to reality. It's the same reason why in the eyes of fans a number 1 pick is untouchable prior to the draft but if it's a bad draft it really doesn't matter much, not all number 1 picks are equal once a player is associated with it.

In exactly one month, all 30 teams around the league will be working their phones to determine if they will be involved in any deals before the 2025 NBA trade deadline. Nobody ever knows what will occur at the trade deadline. There is a lot of uncertainty surrounding the Kings as an organization right now. Brown was fired without any warning, and the organization did so over a phone call while he was on his way to the team plane for their next road game.

This is probably one of the better hypothetical ones I've seen that's in favor of the Kings.

This trade is complicated for the sake of being complicated but it would essentially end with the Kings having

Domas/Lyles/Len
Cam/Jabari/Jae
Keegan/Tate
Demar/Keon
Monk/Carter/Sheppard
With the Kings getting the Rockets 2028 first as well

Not sure why the hell the Kings would need Cam
Johnson in a scenario where we’re already getting Jabari without sacrificing any of our forwards already on the roster so I think I’d rather just keep the extra Rockets picks and Huerter but that’s not a bad roster for a retooling if the day comes.

The first, tbf

 

[ESP47]

They have the Kings giving up Lyles.

 

[Tetsujin]

Didn’t see that. Still though, I think I’d rather keep the Cam Johnson portion separate and rather ship Huerter and Trey out for a better backup big option in this scenario

Yep, we're totally sending Fox and DeRozan for someone who has "likely nothing left in the tank".

these Heat fans are something else

That deal seams fair. Beal for 35 games a year on a reasonable contract is a good way to get this thing back on track.

would be pleased with haul for fox, but agree would rather have extra picks than cam. But smith/reed/frp is a great starting point

I mean, look at it this way - Cam Thomas is the Papa Bear who never saw a shot he didn't like, Ben Simmons is the Mama Bear who never saw a shot he DID like, so if you get both of them together it's kinda Baby Bear juuuuuuuuuuuust right territory!

LOL oh sure let's center a Lyles package, ship Keon FFS, and get another SG in return. Get bent whoever made this!

yeah not only would they need to waive protection on 1-3 they'd need to guarantee pick 1-3 and I'd still hang up.

 

[Tetsujin]

Fox for Zion. Fox is at his highest value. Zion probably near his lowest. He would fit well with Sabonis.

Sorry, this is the terrible Kings trade ideas concocted by the internet thread. You’re free to start a terrible trade ideas started by Kings fans thread though.

None of those picks would probably have any value and Kuminga is a free agent this summer because the Warriors decided against extending him lol

Yes, that trade would work for the Spurs. The Spurs would do that in 12 microseconds.

Hypothetical De'Aaron Fox 4-team trade to Rockets involving Cam Johnson

Continue reading...

TBH, I really like this trade!

Fox, Lyles and Huerter for Jabari Smith, Cam Johnson, Reed Sheppard seems like an overall net surplus. The 2028 Rockets 1st round pick could become a nice bonus, since the Rockets won't have much spacing with a lineup of Fox, Jalen, Amen, Tari and Sengun.

The Kings could also send Tate to the Hornets for Nick Richards.

G: Monk......... Reed, Carter
G: DDR........... Keon, (Reed)
F: Murray........ DDR, (Cam)
F: Jabari......... Cam, (Murray)
C: Domas....... Richards, Len

You are a far kinder human being than I am. I generally just point to the declining intelligence of the human race, but yeah, NBA2k works I suppose.
