yeah except Toronto dumped Sasha’s salary for $0. Monte dumping 2nd round picks to clean up his messes contributes to our depth problem.
We are 11 deep once Carter is healthy. What depth problem?

If we want to play all guards we are fine.We are 11 deep once Carter is healthy. What depth problem?
This transfer system i will never understand , couldn't we directly sacked sasha and mitchel , instead of moving player around to finaly do the same
i mean if you say i player isn't needed and will not spend any playing minute he will move out for sure ...

or are you part of the Davion er Carter can guard small forwards crowd.
Keegan, Huerter, DDR, Keon can all defend the 3. We're fine

I also think that Orlando Robinson is a playable guy too, once he is healthy. There is enough evidence that he can play an 8-12 minute per game role, if needed.
I like Robinson too, but he's more of projection type play still. If we're talking just guys we feel absolutely confident can be in a playoff rotation:
Fox
Keon
DDR
Keegan
Domas
Jmac
Monk
Huerter
Lyles
Len
And while I'm extremely confident Carter's skill-set translates, I suppose you could leave him off for now since he hasn't played an NBA minute. But this is 100% the most talented/most depth the Kings have had since that 02 squad. Not even really all that close. Our bench now would wipe out those "Beno Udrih was somehow our best player" teams in the late 00's.
Of course, we still could use a defensive wing off the bench. But everything is here for us to push being a 48-52 win team this season and be in that top 6.
Ham said that vets who get the minimum are paid like a second year player, something in the 2 mill dollar range. So we could just be dumping Mcdaniels (a guy we may have had no intention to use) for a cheaper version (Crowder). The thing is, if we liked Jae why didn’t we sign him right away as opposed to risking him signing elsewhere. He worked out here over a month ago. Just weird.
The Kings were right at the first apron after signing Len and Jmac. IIUC, they had to shed salary to even add any more veteran miinimum guys.
I generally agree but we NEED to add one more big forward, don’t think it’s optional. If either Keegan or Lyles missed time we literally don’t have a back up. Jones isn’t ready yet, shot is rough.
Isaac Jones also does not jump very well, which means he gets stuffed at the basket a lot and may be limited in defensive rebounding. His standing vertical leap at the 2024 NBA combine was 29". I know a few posters are high on him, but Devin Carter had a 35" vertical leap, tied for first this year. It would have qualified for second last year. I looked it up because Jones was not elevating very well in games.
Jalen only saw a few minutes of preseason action, but presumably Coach Brown and Co. were not impressed with his work in practices.

Isaac Jones has only had one shot blocked this preseason and it was a dunk that got blocked by TJD because Skal led him directly under the basket.I made the comparison was because, as iowamcnabb points out, he was right in the middle of his class, and both were signed by the Kings at the same time. Also, as I stated, it looks like he is getting blocked a lot. I respect your opinion, so I will keep watching! If he were from Missouri, I would say "Show me!" There is another game tonight at 6:00 PT.
Not gonna get my hopes up for a legit transaction after this.
Is this your first TDOS?How does a player who has never suited up for a real game for the Kings have a 12 page thread haha
