I don't see what we'd be interested in from DAL or TOR.
- TOR aren't parting with VanVleet, Trent, Anunoby, Barnes, or Siakam
- Achiuwa isn't a good fit next to Sabonis
- Flynn is redundant with Fox & Mitchell
- Boucher is a UFA after this year
- Brunson is redundant with Fox & Mitchell
- Finney-Smith is a UFA after this year
- Bullock is okay but he's 30
- I like Green but he doesn't exactly scream "win now" which is McNair's vision
I guess Porzingis to SAC confirmed!
I mean Porzingis does have the shooting, defense, & shot blocking you want next to Sabonis but I think he's best when he's playing C on defense vs. PF so not sure the fit is as good as it may appear.
Jimmer Fredette I presume

Glad that’s not our problem nowThe Indiana Pacers are open to flipping Buddy Hield to another team before the trade deadline Thursday, HoopsHype has learned.

We could add in additional draft capital possibly or something else but DFS would be nice….the impending free agency though is a killer.

guessing if/when this team fails to make the play-offs after teams:
1) target Fox-Sabonis repeatedly on offense 2) sag into the paint on defense daring us to shoot
Monte will deservedly be fired.
but Vivek will be in charge of hiring his replacement and as we all know:

This.Stars need to get to the rim and hit tough 2’s, role players need to be able to shoot 3’s. https://t.co/a2BCU4cXLe

Don’t we have a guy that gets to the rim?

From @KyleNeubeck: “Sources familiar with the situation say [the Sixers] have two potential suitors with cap space lined up who they could move Harris to if they need to clear the decks. The pick-collecting Thunder are an obvious team to watch.“

Sabonis and Fox both have the mid-range and in game that becomes so important in then postseason. The trick now will be figuring out how to get there.
Kings are going to get Harris aren’t they?

Harris and a pick or two for Barnes and Bagley’s expiring.

per @SIChrisMannix the kings are finally aggressively looking to move harrison barnes. (the raptors, with dragic's expiring and some draft capital, would be a really interesting trade partner imo)

whole lot more on the trade deadline right here: https://t.co/FZIkmF9Oux
it’s Mannix so I wouldn’t necessarily put much stock into this but just posting for posterity‘s sake.
That deal wouldn’t fit the win now agenda

Doesn't help if that guy can't stretch the floor and is a below average passer once he's in the paint. Defenders just collapse the middle. See 2H of last night's game.

I guess that technically works but that logjam at guard would be absolutely legendary for the pacers.

Not really newsy per se, but rival teams seem to enjoy talking trades with Brad Stevens. One exec said "He's not trying to get blood from a stone and squeeze for "one more thing" like Danny (Ainge) did."

Another told me "It's less like you're giving up rights to your first-born."
Geez, give it a rest, Fox is what he is which is a good player, worry more about the surrounding pieces and what they need to do. Fox isn’t Hali, Hali isn’t Fox. Both can be good you know. And both need pieces around them to help win.

Hopefully the next part brings in a good piece but order of players I’d rather go out is bags then holmes then Barnes. I know they want to move Barnes but I think he really fits with sabonis and we need what he brings.

My bet: Jerami Grant is part 2. Bags + the Kings 2022 first for him.
My wish list:
Barnes to Boston for Pritchard and a protected first. Or Barnes to NYK for Kemba and a protected first. Or Barnes to Utah for O'Neal and a protected first.
This team needs a backup PG now. A second to ATL for Delon Wright?
And would love for them to try to get Trey Murphy from NO.
I don't think the Kings need a defensive big. Mostly because Sabonis has to play the 5. Play a defensive 5 next to him and it compress his value. Len and Jones is fine as back up 5s.
