Here's the thing though. If our FO believes he's an all star and cornerstone player, (which, I'm dubious of), then you have to go get him. You can't let a guy you think had that sort of upside walk away.
If they don’t want monk then take Derozan this isn’t complicated. I really hope that we’re not incompetent enough to give up an unprotected pick for an unproven guy who’s about to walk from them
No way to hit a home run unless you swing hard. A lot can happen between now and 2030. A competent front office might even pick up a first-round draft pick.Here's the thing though.

I don't have that valuation on him, but he does have a rare upside that Sacramento rarely gets access too. They'd have to be right of course, but if you're going to swing, swing on a upside play like Kuminga.

And if we aren't going to rebuild *newsflash, we arent* then frp should also become ammo to trade.
Just have to embrace that reality of this ownership group. There's going to be no reset, ever
LaVine has a player option for next season. DeRozan's contract is only guaranteed for $10 million next season if we waive him. And Sabonis may only be months away from asking for a trade. I think the reset is happening whether ownership wants it or not.

The Kings haven't fully reset but when they dealt Cuz they did partially go rebuild. The issue there was they immediately again tried to skip the line thinking George Hill and Zbo were going to lead the team to wins at the same time. Players like Hill, Zbo, VC, Koufos, and Temple gobbled up minutes that should have been prioritized to develop young guys like Papa G, Skal, and Justin Jackson.
Do we really want Kuminga? I’m not saying this tells the whole story, but his lack of understanding and IQ seem like a big concern and why Kerr refuses to play him.
They've done well with UDFA pickups, less great with 2nd round picks. I think the real question is where Kuminga's head is at, not so much an IQ question but was he refusing to do what he was asked with GSW or was he really being slighted. It could even be both, but how will he respond in a new environment especially once the honeymoon period ends.I think a move for Kuminga is worth it, but I have to state the obvious: Are the Kings really the team to develop a young player?
I'd be happy if the Kings can secure him, but I'm not going to be super unhappy if they don't get him either.

I guess many people are younger than that old SNL skit with Jesse Jackson The Question is Moot!*moot point
Honest to god if he is worth say 25m a year, most people say ok team option at a premium or player option at a discount. Dubs are like "You'll take team option at a discount and like it and also if we can't trade you we're definitely not picking up your option unless we strike out in free agency" so yeah.
Warriors eager to see these through to the bitter end lol
I agree with every word of this post. Also - If we could disguise DDR and hide him in another jersey, I’d love to have him back in some capacity (preferably off the bench) but the reality is that he barely got anywhere near the same type of foul calls when he arrived in Sac. Smh.I wouldn’t mind Kuminga but not at the expense of a player like Monk or DDR AND a lightly protected first.
Doesn’t really knock down the 3, not known for defense…..feels like a tweener whose game probably has to resemble a DDR. DDR though got to the foul line quite a bit and I’m not sure that’s Kuminga’s game.
Just feels like a risk although it balances the roster a bit. Has to be other guys we take a risk on or who can be productive, balance the roster AND clear the way for Nique and other younger guys currently on roster

Slightly more forgivable when you’re a 6’8” forward rather than a wing.Oddly enough, or not, he plays a very similar game to DeRozan.

Yeah, but that's like 92% of NBA dudes 6'8" and taller, right?Maybe, both are kind of just big guards at heart though.
I have so many questions..
