Welcome Jalen McDaniels

[ShastaKingsFan]

For a "Welccome" thread was there a single welcome?

You posted a "bloopers" video. Maybe he has a good sense of humor

Hopefully the conversations here will show him what general fans think of his overall game and contributions to winning basketball.

Smells like the trade you have to make in order to make room for the trade you want to make

LOL. Dude is already a Kings legend.

I'm not going to get overly upset because I'm assuming bigger moves are coming, but on its own this deal looks flat out awful.

 

[TaxMan]

Im not really concerned one way or the other on this one. Curious what happens next. The dreams of mitchell being some “sweetener” in some bigger deal were laughable. He may well be in the league for a while but I just don’t think he had much value around the league.

Yeah, like this is very much the trade that becomes fuel for Davion’s career and turns him into that stud starting guard for the Raptors but he was unfortunately never going to become that here with the guys in front of him

 

[Kingster]

So Mitchell + Sasha are valued at zero or less than zero. McNair had to literally give up two 2nd round picks in order get rid of them and get some salary and Keon Edwards redux. I guess we should all be happy he didn't add a 1st to the package to get a few mill and the MLE. OMG. This guy for whom they are clearing salary cap space better be damned good is all I have to say. This doesn't auger well for future trade(s) we might see involving Heurter and Barnes.

 

[Merdiesel]

Terrible trade.

 

[Double-K]

Oh no guys! We traded for the wrong McDaniels!

 

[LT-Sac-Town]

Ironically enough I really wanted us to get Jalen last year, he’s been productive before just for whatever reason was awful last year. Going to Toronto seemed like a terrible fit for him to begin with.

 

[SacTownKid]

See, this was an issue and Monte had to do it. He got lucky in the draft but he put himself too close to the tax bringing Monk back. Now see what he does with future firsts haha.

Definite scowl there.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Toppin would make a lot of sense but Indiana can and likely would match.

I think Indiana is low on him but a S&T for Huerter could make a ton of sense for both teams?

 

[Turgenev]

There are some decent players left. Flowers. PJ Hall. Ingram.

I'm just salting those wounds.

 

[Tetsujin]

To be fair, if one of my dudes came up to me out of the blue and said I got traded I’d think he was playing too

 

[joemama]

Once "Kings" set in there was an instant negative reaction.

At least we know he practices?

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Yeah but Keon Ellis was also undrafted which doesn’t require a second round pick in the first place.

And people forget agents tell teams not to draft them in second round and they won’t sign two-ways. In fact this whole extra day thing is probably going to make that a bigger problem since now the major first round snubs agents have 24 hours to be on the horn working back room deals.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Has the full trade been confirmed by anyone other than Sean? Woj does not have the Portland pick included

 

[fansinceday1]

I mean, Monte's worst move is the equivalent of Vlade's average move, so maybe I've just developed really low standards as a form of coping with being a member of Kings fandom.

In my book, NO ONE will ever be as bad as GM Vlade was.

I think the negative reaction was less “Kings” and more “I was just traded and told by some dude with a cell phone in my face?!”

Does anyone have the book on McDaniels’ double jump?

 

[Tetsujin]

Does anyone have the book on McDaniels’ double jump?

Did he work out for us during the draft process and promise he wanted to be in Sacramento?

 

[Tetsujin]

Yeah it absolutely was a bit of a dick move on whoever was filming’s part. At least wait for the guy’s agent to try calling.

 

[joemama]

How many shots can he hit in the rain?

I really don't think Monte prepared for Carter to actually be at the Kings pick and didn't think he'd be keeping it. Bringing Monk back and keeping the pick meant no MLE and less flexibility to make a deal. The Raps kind of held him over a barrel but it could have been worse. Again, in totality he added Devin Carter when he never should have been able to.

 

[joemama]

Will he help us 4 on 5?

 

[joemama]

How good are his spray 3s?

 

[Insomniacal Fan]

Does your book include Pete D'Alessandro? How many pages in your book? Does it have pictures?

 

[joemama]

Lemme guess. He couldn't miss during the workout.
