If this works that pick will be a lower lottery pick and there isn't a whole lot on the board that fits the "win now". The time to trade that his NOW, not when it's diminished on draft night and somewhere between 12-14.

Still waiting for Richaun for Miles Bridges….
Sounds likely. What’s your thoughts on his fit with Sabonis and Fox?

Not great but a lineup of Sabonis/Grant/Barnes/Mitchell/Fox would be the most talent lineup the Kings put out in ten years for whatever that's worth.
I have a hard time believing that a Bagley & assets deal for Grant would be flagged by the media as a "deal for Bagley" instead of a trade for Grant. It makes me think it's a very minor deal but I have no idea what Detroit would send back.

We didn't even give up picks for Sabonis so i doubt it. Maybe if Vlade were still here, i'd understand people (not a shot at you) joking like that.
Yeah, I would hope Grant is a more natural SF than Barnes at this point in Barnes career.

How do we know what anything these guys say are true? Yes I know to look for the check mark but there are a few local media guys without check marks. Just wondering

Give me a top 59 protected 2nd and I’m throwing a party.
IMO he isn't. Grant is a definitely a PF in today's NBA.

The Kings going from a big man logjam to a wing logjam would be peak Kings.
As long as we dont lose barnes for grant im down for sure. I actually think offensively barnes is far better fit next to sabonis and fox. He is a superior playmaker and great all around glue guy/calming presence on this team. With that said, playing next to fox and sabonis, grant would be able to play in a flow, not be forced (although he want the burden) of being THE guy offensively, but could return to being a defensive force. Mitchell and Grant on the perimeter would be a tough deal for opposing offenses and while he is not a rim protector, sabonis is a reasonably good paint defender. Offensively grant can carry the load for short runs too when needed. BUT i hope you move lamb and Bagley (likely a frp too) and see about flipping holmes for PJW and Ish smith.
Mitchell/Ish
Fox/TD/Holiday
Grant/Holiday/Harkless
Barnes/PJW/Metu
Sabonis/Jones/Len
That is a deep ass team. Good lengthy defenders, but it is somewhat weak on outside shooting.

It could be Olynyk straight up (unlikely) or some combo of Josh Jackson, CoJo, Lyles, Diallo, or Frank Jackson.
They would have to move bagle and another 10M in contracts to make it work. Hopefully that would be Lamb and not Holmes who we can flip for PJW/Ish, but knowing us it will.

Having a wing logjam is probably more preferable to a big man one in this day and age.
