And the fact is it might not equal a ring regardless. Sitting in mediocrity vs. trying to find an answer is an easy choice IMO, go for the answer even if it's not the best one. As is, we kind of know where this Kings teams sits. Length, numbers... Grant is the better option on paper. If he's not...

True, but put Barnes on some of those teams Grant was on and compare. If Barnes is truly a reason for the teams he's on being the success they were then he's honestly better than anyone other than Fox and Domas on this Kings team, so, should the Kings move off of Barnes, or keep him and everyone...

Ok, but who? No team is giving prime youth for that. If that's the goal then Monte has to start thinking about reset around Fox/Domas and I doubt he is unless there are literally no options.

And the issue is the same with Harrison Barnes though, what does it matter if the result is the same? At some point you're assuming players nearing their prime will change and historically that's very unusual for them to.

The end result is nice, but you're assuming the Warriors take a lot of the burden on trade wise. I can't see it.

Huerter off the bench is too much money I think since he's basically been a system player with the Kings. If Brown would change up his view of everyone outside of Fox and Domas then maybe but I doubt it. If Brown thinks Huerter can do basically what Monk can then it should work, if not, the...

Here's the thing about Grant as opposed to Barnes, Grant actually has a history of doing close to it whereas Barnes hasn't. Barnes in iso in a vacuum is >>>> Grant, but no team has appeared to be willing to give Barnes that including the Kings and from what it looks like it's because Barnes...

And I will. Bad team. Look at his numbers with Denver and it's clear. As a number 1 option obviously he's not the difference as a 2nd/3rd, it's a better option than Barnes IMO and unless the Kings can land a legit star without Keegan it's about as good as it gets.

All I can say is look up video comps and time the movement WITH the ball. I don't think MPJ has the ball handling of these two although speed wise he's similar.

Don't come out of the FA period with that star and it will begin whether they like it or not, haha.

Win shares are tough when you're on crappy teams. Is Grant a superstar? Nope. If they want star value that might even be a stretch but Grant can do things with the ball that Barnes won't do and the Kings clearly need the productivity Grant would bring. With Keon rising I think production types...

Yeah, so many of the PF types in this draft always seem to be considered better 5's. Not a big fan from what I've seen.

If Keon is the starter the Kings need scoring next to him for sure. The thing about Keon is that between he and Keegan you have that perfectly matched 3 and D combo teams seem to have success with historically. It's like Raja Bell and Shawn Marion a little bit. Keon, Grant, and Keegan might not...

True, but in fairness one is a role player and the other is putting up 20+ ppg 3 out of the last 4 years. At the same age in a similar role to Keon as a 3 and D guy Grant had a WS/48 of .13 and a defensive win share of 3.3.

And it shouldn't, the Kings aren't struggling on the boards but they are in having a player that can get their own shot and that has the needed size at F. However, Monte should use those eternal Barnes level rebounding numbers against the Blazers if and when the time comes. :p
