Trade for Jimmy Butler?

[Filippoitaly]

Rumors wants him out of Minnie, but i saw him related only to Boston and Philly.
Do you think maybe Vlade try to land him in a trade?
You'll be happy with him and what can we give in exchange?

 

[allrightythen]

I don't see that trade working. Not that there wouldn't be interest, but because he could be a free agent after this season I don't see a Kings offer coming close to what Minnesota would want in a deal like that.

 

[Filippoitaly]

Leonard-type situation?

 

[N0tmyfault]

He's 28 and does not fit our timeline well. We would have to compete against the Lakers/Celtics who have quality prospects that they can afford to lose in an effort to compete against GSW. A Kings trade would most likely have to evolve around Bagley... no thanks.

 

[kingsboi]

if he was a couple of years younger, sure...he'd be disgruntled if the Kings couldn't surround him with a winning team though so this would be a easy pass for me

 

[kingsfan1984]

No i think much better to sit back and be the team to take on garbage salary in exchange for good assests be it future picks or promising young players. Bought time we start doing that

 

[Iced Espresso]

We could try to max him next year. Save all assets for now.

 

[Filippoitaly]

Up

 

[ESP47]

If I had to guess, I'd say Markelle Fultz will be the main piece in the trade for Butler.

 

[Sac.1989]

no for me but with our cap space, we should be key players in helping facilitate this

 

[Hoovtrain]

This is a golden opportunity to use that cap space....we shall see if they can take advantage. I am not holding my breath.

This is good. More leverage if they don't have to compete with the Suns.

Good good. Less tilt watching the Suns steal Tyus Jones

I'll take any 2 of the 3 out of Winslow, Jones and a 1st round pick.

So, Kings would play Butler one year? ............And then he's a Free Agent? Kings should probably leave alone if only for a year. Good to have a veteran star, but not for a 1 year rental. Better to let the young guys come up together.

 

[SacTownKid]

The Kings are the only team with real space, Vlade is probably chomping at the bit to troll hard like usual.

The kings aren't looking to get Butler in the trade. The Kings would be a 3rd team helping facilitate Butler to another team while taking on salary for assets.

They’re not trading for butler. They are acting as a facilitator with their cap space to take on a bad contract to get pick(s)/young players

Man I just don’t know how we could afford to have Giles, Bagley, and Fox starting. That’s spacing suicide in an era of shooting I would have loved it if we had drafted a SF then had Winslow at PF.

Bagley shot a good percentage from 3 during college and in general had a very high FG percentage. Giles looks to have the makings of at least a decent shooter, maybe even better. Fox stated in his interview that he spent the entire summer focusing on shooting, alongside lifting weights. It may not be glorious in the beginning while they figure each other out, but I wouldn't call it spacing suicide. We also would have Buddy out there as well as our designated sharpshooter. Ideally though, our future 3 man would be a good shooter from deep as well and hopefully a more defense orientated player.

 

[kingsfan1984]

We may be surprised by jacksons progress as well in regards tothe 3 ball. I wouldn't write him off just yet

 

[Kingsfan23]

I’d trade Bagley for the shot at convincing him to stay past this year, which I’d give a 30% chance if we could put something together

Well, then it's a good thing you're not our GM.

I think he’d stay sounds like he won’t turn down max money. However I’m not entertaining trading Bagley for him

Lmao

"I'm not biased against Bagley. Not at all!"

Oh no! Another ultra-Bagley apologist!
