Okay, here's the skills:

Monia:

I might be giving Vitaly a little too much credit though.

He had no play time in his last 5 games and it doesn't look like he ever got playing time...

Apparently he's atheletic, only 23 years old, is a tough defender and can spot up from midrange or for 3.
We could use more shooting with our current squad, so that sounds good... although behind Artest/Garcia/Thomas/Corliss he'll probably never see the court.
Then again, he's 6'8"... so he might get the start at center if Brad goes out.

Hmm... Could this guy (Monia) turn out to be another one of Petries diamond in the rough players?

i have no knowledge of sergei monya whatsover...but if he develops into a solid player, he could be a permanent backup at the SF (something the kings haven't had since hedo). he's strong, athletic, and young...and he likes to play defense. could be a steal. could be a bust. either way, GP took no real risk with this trade, given brian skinner's very limited minutes
as for potapenko...w/e. he's a big dude who can clog the lane, though one without tact or timing, making him a poor shotblocker. nothing special. he'll receive about as much time as skinner did.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't they the first representatives from their respective countries to play for the Kings? We've covered a lot of geographical ground before, but this is a lot.nbrans said:

Welcome to Sacramento and the Kings, Sergei! (I hope you don't have to paint your shoes.)
Grant is saying he talked to Petrie and supposedly Petrie extensively scouted Monya. Should be interesting. Not too much risk here and it looks like we get Skinner's salary off the books sooner. Potapenko and Monya's contracts end with 06/07 season and Skinner's was thru 07/08 season.

I think that last part is only partially correct.
Deal is that Potapenko and Monia both have contracts ending after next year. And so does Skinner effectively -- there is a TEAM option for the year after that (07-08), so obviously we could have just chosen not to exercise it, effectively making Skinner's contract end at the end of 06-07 as well. Basically all the contracts are 06-07 enders.
In any case, if the kid has potential (and I do not opine having only seen him play a handful of minutes) then I still think this is a decent move. Give up nothing we were using, and get back a young guy to develop. Those are normally good moves. Little downside, much upside, even though we did give up the currently best player in the transaction.

Welcome to the Kings, Sergei!
From what I remember, this guy was pretty highly regarded but on draft night he lasted until #23 because of concerns about his contract and when/if he'd ever come over. Not that draft position is that great of an indicator, but the general consensus was that he was going in the top 15 and I seem to remember rumors that the Jazz were hot for him at #14.
If the word on him is that he's got good size, is an aggressive and dedicated defender and a good athlete then I think we're going to like the kid.
