The trading of Domantas Sabonis.

[megapoxy]

Do you guys think we’d take a chance on the injured Joel Embiid? I don’t see vevik accepting a rebuild and if he sees that name he’s could force the new GM to pull the trigger

From Zion to Embiid, I see a patern here, you get commision for medical treatments? (just joking of course)

I’ve actually seen his reactions to other players and wondered if Domas grates on his teammates nerves.
Yes, he plays hard but I think there’s an issue there that’s just now being shed some light on.
I posted in another thread of him quitting on Brown. I personally have a major problem with it but I’m just a fan. I actually prefer him to be traded.

I know a lot of forum members here soured on Brown which is fine. But across the league there were and are repercussions with the the dismissal. No all-star selection for Domas because of his dislike of Brown. I fully believe that Domas missed out because of his part in the Brown firing. Send Domas packing for assets

Sad, but a predictable arrival for some fans to be here. Dude's only busted his ass for 3 years and since there aren't any scapegoats left (well,him and Monte), better run him out of town too.

Welp, not sure any of it isn’t true though. Taylor Jenkins just got dumped and his teams played hard too. But if the star or stars don’t like something about the coach or schemes, the head coach is always the one to go. This situation is probably no different.
I can tell you from listening to the talking heads, there is absolutely going to be fallout from how Mike Brown was handled.
If Sac doesn’t hire DC, then it’s going to be a retread or a guy looking for his first chance.
Also fairly certain that Domas won’t be chosen as an all-star reserve any time soon

I just don't know what to believe with Domas because there were rumors he's the one that wanted Brown gone (certainly spread by a player who is no longer here's camp) and now the same camp has spread the rumor that Domas wants out because how Brown was handled has created uncertainty.

Now I do not think him and Zach have paired well and we need to get rid of DDR if he won't go to the bench.

My faith in Doug is shaken a bit although I am sure he is being forced to try to make the three starting SGs when they are available. I feel like my vacation last week was a blessing because I am certainly not interested in tanking to keep our pick and then having that dangle over whoever is the GM's head for another year. Also I think consensus is this draft isn't as great as it was billed and it's just the opposite of last draft which had no clear top pick, while this one seems to have picks 1 and 2 locked.

I am fine if we throw in the towel after next season if we still suck this bad, but I think if we identify a starting PG and solve the mess Monk/Zach/Deebo somehow will be ok.

I feel like this is burying the lede a bit (the fact Domas has suffered two different moderately severe injuries since the trade)

This year it was a different gameplan and that has to be part of what Domas wants clarification on. This is the fewest assists per game Domas has averaged since the 15 games after he was traded to the Kings. The team going more pick and roll saw him having an uptick in his scoring but he was less involved as a lead playmaker as a result. In January Domas looked to be coming back around as the focus under Christie but then the trades clearly took away the ability for him to really know where to put the ball. From February on Domas is averaging the least amount of assists since he's been a King.

Too much ch dribbling, too much 1 on 1. If a team wants to win they have to move the ball. Unless of course you have a top 3 player.

If the idea is to go for an All Injury team, then get Ja or Kawhi or PG.

Just don’t see the ownership letting us tank the right way and when you got big names like Embiid out there the GM will be pressured to make a move. Vevik eyed sorry ass Lavine for a couple years now his eyes will light up seeing Embiid is available

With Zion atleast he can play and it’s not medically proven he cant

 

[Spike]

I'm pretty sure if we acquire Zion he will eat himself out of the league. Call it the Curse of the Kingdom.

The question is value. If they are being given away LaVine style? Sure. I would be surprised if Vivek would risk it all for two even bigger risks potentially.

Zion will have a good market Embiid won’t

 

[Turgenev]

We had an opportunity to do something with Domas and we sort of did - i.e., the beam team - we also sort of didn't - i.e., running it back.

He's great. Better than anyone we have had on the team in ages. But he shouldn't be untouchable.

 

[jphilip]

We have a lot of forst round picks here we do not trade tgat or donas for broken embiid

 

[Joshyjosh31]

I’d trade Sabonis for Claxton and two firsts assuming this years pick is top 7

 

[serbiangoat]

If Memphis flops in the playoffs which is what I expect offer Sabonis/filler for Bane/filler. JJJ/Morrant/Sabonis fits well and they got a ton of up and coming wings.

Bane is a great fit with Keegan and gives you a nice building base until you got rid of LaVine, it also mean you don't have to overpay Ellis.

And then we could run out a starting lineup with four SGs and a big wing, just like a college team!

Bane/Ellis/Keegan would fit if we get a defensive center and another big wing to start next to Keegan
