Prospect
In a previous thread, I referenced my belief that the Kings need a YOUNG point guard and said I believe that Miles "Deuce" McBride should be our target.
Being "out of it" afford us the opportunity to "take a chance".
McBride is a point guard only. But he is blocked by Brunson and that is unlikely to change. They sometimes play together, but don't be deceived - McBride is a point guard. He has two more years on his extension at a rate that is "rock bottom".
I also take in to account that Scott Perry has NYC connections.
What would it take? Certainly not a #1. maybe two number 2's. Or a package featuring Keon (who we are going to lose anyway) and maybe we include Schroeder to be the Knicks b/u point. To me, it's a doable trade.
Who else have I seen that I'd like to acquire?
#1 Santi Aldama of Memphis.
This would likely require us being willing to gamble on Ja.
I doubt that Memphis will get many serious offers for Morant.
If we can't get McBride, II would be willing to take on Morant, but only under these conditions:
A) Memphis is willing to take LaVine
B) Memphis also takes Schroeder and gives us Aldama (Aldama makes slightly more on a three year deal, but this should work - Memphis has "bigs" the way the Kings have "guards").
2) Pete Nance (6/10, son of Larry and brother of Larry Jr.). He has earned almost no money, is on a two-way, so, a trade would be an improvement for him. The Bucks played him a lot on Monday (in a close game), so, they may be showcasing him (he played well). And, the bonus is that now that you are talking to the Bucks, you just might inquire about Giannis (they'd have to be willing to take LaVine and we'd probably have to throw in Keegan, Keon and picks, but it might be doable (Doc Rivers is his coach and Bobby Jackson was his assistant coach previously in Philadelphia, so we at least have a "connection").
That's all I have for now. I did see a player who I liked and when I looked him up he was scoring 20+ in the G League but I can't remember his name or team.
