This does kind of point to Carter being traded, doesn't it?

I don't get it. Carter fits everything GM Perry said he's looking for, the defense, the hustle, the rebounding instinct...
Nique said he grew up playing a lot of point. It would be nice if he shows those skills. A 1 through 3, not a bad scenario.
I don't really get WHY we aren't embracing Carter, but if this is the team mantra, he needs to be dealt this off-season. While he's still a "mystery box" If we're not going to play him or develop him, he's going to only drop further in value.

Actions speak louder than words. Are people still falling for the culture and vision stuff?
Sac media already tried to prime the fans for his departure by calling Carter as fat and questioning his work ethic. If we're talking about real culture, they should put an end to this kind of nonsense that disparages our own players. Going to be awkward when they can't sell him off for a decent return and had to keep him.

Depends if on who they think is the backup now.

err... no?
I’m referring to the tangible, physical skill set he brings to the court. I’m not concerned with culture, it isn’t something that automatically develops just by recruiting certain types of players anyway, or the whole Coach Brown/D. Fox/Monk kumbaya thing would've worked out better.
Aside from ball handling, which he’s shown he can manage at a serviceable, backup level, his skill set stands out as uniquely different from most players on the Kings' roster. That’s especially relevant given that, outside of Sabonis, none of the starting five are particularly aggressive on the boards.
I’m also not swayed by whatever narrative the Sac media is pushing. Given how the organization has been run, I doubt they have any meaningful insider knowledge to begin with.
