Very Realistic One Year Rebuilding Plan

[Bballkingsrock]

Kings keep losing the way they are.

Kings trade Miller + Thomas for Stephon Marbury. They waive him and he goes to Boston. Ney York does it for 2010. Yall know hte rest. Kings will then have 21 million bucks to spend in FA.

Kings trade Salmons to Miami for Dorrell Wright, Daequan Cook, and Joel Anthony/ Jamal Magloire. Now the kings would have nice role players for the future. Miami does it to have a cheaper SF than Marion, and Marion will leave anyway so they should have decent cap space and a nice piece to Wade with Chalmers and Beasley. Salmons is also a decent defender.

Kings develop ALL their young players now that Thomas, Miller, and Salmons.

Kings have a line-up for rest of year that looks like:

PG: Beno
SG: KMart
SF: Cisco prolly
PF: Thompson
C: Hawes
Bench:
Cook, Wright, Brown, Jackson, Moore, Anthony/Magloire, Greene

Kings lose some mroe and develop. Kings should have around 21-22 million for CAP space.

Kings sign Boozer for 14-16 million a year. (high value since it iwll take a lot to get somebody as a FA to Sactown. Kings still have around 7 million to sign one more guy which would be either a decent starting SF or a decent starting PG. Maybe Hedo?

Anyway, wtever position we dont sign of the pG or SF, we draft with our top 4 pick.

Kings line-up for long itme:

PG: Top 3 Pick (Jennings, Rubio?, HOliday)
SG: KMart
SF: Prolly Free Agency ( Hedo or someother)
PF: Boozer
C: Hawes
Bench: WRight, Greene, Beno, Cook, Brown?, Houston's Pick (Prolly a C), Thompson,

VERY realistic trades and Knigs get playoffs coming in one year. Plus, kings will be good for at least 5 years and with the West spiraling down otehr than Lakers and portland these Kings will OWN.

Somebody read this. Its an excellent idea....

 

[Nighthawk1]

Looks ok to me, I'm not sure i'm sold on injury prone boozer though - and I know most of this board hate him due to his character issues...

 

[nbrans]

They're not bad trade ideas, although I'm also not sold on Boozer long term, nor do I think he'd be inclined to come to Sacramento. I think more realistic goals might be going after Trevor Ariza and Ramon Sessions.

 

[NME]

I know most of this board hate him due to his character issues...

One billion Chinese that know him as "Betrayal Skull Dude" can't all be wrong.

 

[Bballkingsrock]

Well if you want to see the knigs to win, he is the best decision as a superstar.

 

[Nighthawk1]

I actually think Boozer would stay here if we offered him the chedda... I just see him going down the SAR route honestly... Getting hurt to much to help. Although those with character issues are the only players we seem to be able to lure here

As long as trades don't have Magnette or baron davis im pretty easy...

 

[beb0p]

Let's look at it this way: If NY makes this trade they'll be paying close to $20 millions in luxury tax next year. They wouldn't even pay Marbury $20 mil to buy out his contract. I doubt Walsh do this. If Walsh is going into luxury tax realm, it won't be for Brad and KT.

And Second, the trades put us just over the luxury tax line. Something that I doubt Petrie will do in a season like this.

And finally, there is no way in hell Carlos Boozer leaves Utah... to come to Sacramento. If he's going to leave a very good team he better be going to another very good team.

And we do not have room to make a 1 for 3 trade. For one, we'll have to waive someone from the current roster to make room. And second, we'll be paying luxury, something that I doubt Petrie will do in a season like this.

And finally, there is no way in hell Carlos Boozer leaves Utah... to come to Sacramento. If he's going to leave a very good team he better be going to another very good team.

Not neccessarily, he's been quoted as saying he wants a pay raise and nothing leads me to believe anything different... I just don't want him for his injury history

 

[Bballkingsrock]

The Kings WILL be a good team, with all the money, waiving a plyer is easy, lpaying luxury tax is worth it,Boozer will coem because of the money and plus we will have Hawes, Top 3 Pick, another FA worth around 7 million, AND another year for all the young guys.

Bballkingsrock--What you listed up there is quite possible--and I do like Dorell Wright for his potential, and think that since he's wallowing up there in Miami, he can hopefully fulfill that potential here with us. I'm not sure they'd want to sack Daequan Cook, who suddenly discovered his three point touch, but I guess since Miami is a playoff team and may be in a win now mode, they do need that extra scorer behind Wade, and Salmons can get the job done (just don't tell their GM that Salmons pouts and puts marginal effort as a second option).

Nbrans--Like those two players as well; for Ariza, however, I believe the Lakers want to keep their youth nucleus intact, and together with their disappointment in Odom's inconsistencies, will rack out the dough for Ariza over Odom. Don't think that's really possible. As for Sessions, I think he actually is more possible to attain now--Milwaukee's woefully misusing Sessions now (not that we can expect anything less from Milwaukee), his assists have tumbled and although I don't think he's on the block whatsoever, Geoff can potentially make an aggressive move this offseason and hopefully sway the tide to our favor.

What makes you think Sacramento is the only team that can afford his pay raise?

boozer goes where the money goes. hasnt everyone learned that by now?

Again, I ask this question because perhaps I'm missing something: Are we the only team that can afford to sign Carlos Boozer? Because when I look around the league, the answer is no.

Again, same question: is the Kings the only team with money?

 

[Amory]

No thank you. I am soooo not interested in Boozer. Sure, he is decent at what he does but would he stay healthy?

 

[Nighthawk1]

I never said we were the ONLY team, but we might be the only team that offers him MAX... It's a roll of the dice sure.... Other teams who are increasing their cap room might have to spend it on raises or might find another FA of their liking.... Any number of possibilities

 

[Amory]

There is going to be a lot of money going around 2010 and even 2009. Hope we can at least attract someone >.<

 

[Bballkingsrock]

Why wouldnt you guys a superstar in Boozer? He is the only good superstar in the free agency.....

Kings will have 21 million DOLLARS to sign somebody. With money, and with the upcomign stuff, the tuff i pointed out, he WILL COME.

So to recap, we have to dump Miller and KT to NY in a trade that the Knicks are highly unlikely to do; to create the cap space necessary to sign Carlos Boozer over Detroit and Miami, both of whom expressed interest and have the means to offer him a max contract.

Ok, I know Petrie is good, but if he pull this off he should be deified.

 

[Nighthawk1]

That's great -if- he can actually play full seasons... But he seemingly is injured on a regular basis now. I personally don't want to go ahead and spend another 10-15m per year for players that NEVER see the court(Currently, I know Boozer is going to be around 20m per). He's got an injury history, which makes me not want to take a risk on him

A risk is the what the kings need to make a titile. He will probably get healthy since, if the Jazz dont make playoffs, he will have plenty of time to rest.

no, nor did i ever mention that in my post. i said he will go where the money is. Period. Be that the kings, ny, what have you. boozer has shown he knows naught the definitions of loyalty and honesty. but if he does go to the kings, i will cease to be a fan.

This is a great plan, and he will be being with the kings for the money and the players that will be around him. Kings will be a deep team with KMart, Hawes, Cook, Wright, Top 4 pick, and anotehr 7 million FA. Do you how good the Kings could be if they pick up Boozer? He is a excellent rebounder, pretty decent defender, and will have plenty of help.

Not necessarily. He went to Utah when it was a "so-so" team. The first year they had him they were pretty bad.

This is where I would WANT the Maloofs involved. They take him out to Vegas, and treat him to a comped room at the Palms.. They know how to show a guy a good time so I would trust in Petrie, and the Maloofs to get something done if the Kings have the $$ available.

 

[gunks]

Boozer is a bit too injury prone for my tastes...Lets go after Millsap instead

kmart, hawes, cook, wright, and top 4 pick do not equal the jazz's talent w/deron, memo, ak, brewer, milsap (if you list cook and wright as precurser for a deep team, then i can go ahead and list a milsap). sorry, if he comes here, hes coming because we were heads and shoulders above the rest in amount of money given to him/years (jazz can offer 6), and NOT because he wants to see our pyramid that houses state workers, and sample all that old sac has to offer, and go to the railroad museum.

btw, way to toot your own horn.

It's different. When Utah signed him they were the only team willing and had the means to break the bank for him. But now Boozer is a hot commodity and there will be more than one team chasing him.

Exactly my point. Why even bring up the money thing when the Kings aren't the only team with money? Why even bother dreaming up this Boozer to Sactown scenario when we all know playoff-bound teams with money are in the hunt for him too.
