With the trade deadline now over (and therefore little incentive to showcase players on our roster for a trade), what would you like our minutes rotation to be to close out the year ? I’ll go first… PG - Fox (34) / Ellis (14) SG - Huerter (20) / Monk (28) SF - Murray (32) / Barnes (8) /...

Assuming Fox, Huerter, Murray, and Sabonis are still going to be starters, who should be starting at PF?

--------------------------------------- BKN Gets: Richaun Holmes, Davion Mitchell, & Future 2nd (Top 55 Protected) BKN Gives: Royce O'Neale & Patty Mills Why for BKN? Sell off a couple win now, expiring vets for a young PG to continue their rebuild. By the way, could you imagine a defensive...

------------------------------------------------------ SAC Gets: OG Anunoby SAC Gives: Richaun Holmes, Davion Mitchell, 2026 SAC 1st (Unprotected), & 2028 SAC 1st (Unprotected) Why for SAC? Kings would have to make their 2024 1st due to ATL unprotected to make this trade possible, but...

Looking at our cap situation for the upcoming offseason, we have the potential to resign Barnes while still having quite amount of cap to make a splash in FA. We're on track to have ~$22.6 mil in cap space if we don't make any changes/moves, and we could have the ability to have ~38.0 mil in...

---------------------------------------- CHA Gets: Davion Mitchell CHA Gives: PJ Washington Why for CHA? Considering the Hornets currently have the 5th worst record, they start to look towards rebuilding around Ball. Washington is due for a new contract this off-season while Mitchell gives...

***Trade can only happen after 12/15*** ---------------------------------------- CHA Gets: Richaun Holmes CHA Gives: Mason Plumlee & 2023 UTA 2nd Why for CHA? Hornets upgrade their starting C spot who would be a great pairing with Ball in the PnR. PG - Rozier / Smith SG - Ball / Martin /...

The emphasis of playing Okpala in the starting unit is due to Fox, Huerter, Barnes, and Sabonis not being plus defenders (at least prior to this season). Playing another meh defensive player in his place likely makes that units defensive potential very limited. We really need both a good...

---------------------------------------- CHA Gets: Richaun Holmes & Terence Davis CHA Gives: Kelly Oubre, Mason Plumlee, & 2023 UTA 2nd Why for CHA? They upgrade their starting C spot and allow Williams to come along slowly. Holmes is excellent in the PnR and would be a great pairing with...

I posted some thoughts on this in another thread, but thought it would be interesting to start a poll to see what people think Sabonis will do as a FA (I know. Way too early to speculate but it's TDOS). Below are some things to keep in mind when considering Sabonis next contract... Sabonis...

Since we jumped up to #4 yesterday, the floodgates opened up for me in regards to trade ideas/possibilities. Below are some that came to mind: CHA Gets: Richaun Holmes & #4 / SAC Gets: PJ Washington, Kai Jones, #13, & #15 CHA Gets: Myles Turner / IND Gets: De'Aaron Fox / SAC Gets...

--------------------------------------------------- CHA Gets: Richaun Holmes & #36 CHA Gives: Mason Plumlee & PJ Washington Why for CHA? They avoid giving Washington a big payday and going into the tax. Get an upgrade at C who’s cost controlled and get an early 2nd to help replace the youth...

--------------------------------------------------- IND Gets: Davion Mitchell, Terence Davis, Alex Len, & Chimezie Metu IND Gives: Malcolm Brogdon Why for IND? The Pacers move their 29 year old, win-now guard to further lean into the rebuild. They pick up Mitchell as another asset who has...

Part of the reason why I've been looking to move Hield in some deals recently is that I think Davis is able to fill those minutes effectively, and maybe even be more impactful than Hield with those minutes. Below are the advanced impact stats for both players this season: These generally...

The issue with trading for Sabonis is that your 3 core pieces/cornerstones are below average defenders and defense is the Kings biggest weakness right now. Would rather get Horford who can provide some of the passing but also play solid defense and stretch floor (and he won’t nearly cost as...

I don't think it's any secret that Vivek is wanting McNair to push this team to try and compete this season. However, reviewing reports/rumors, it sounds like they are not wanting to completely mortgage the future for this goal. It's a balancing act. With that in mind, the moves I suggested...

Buddy Hield Harrison Barnes Richaun Holmes Davion Mitchell Tyrese Haliburton For Al Horford Jaylen Brown Juan Hernangomez Dennis Schroder Jabari Parker Why for SAC? Kings sell of their vets and two most recent 1st round draft picks to put a legitimate star talent next to Fox. Fox (23) and...

-------------------------------------------------- SAC Gets: Pascal Siakam, Fred VanVleet, & Chris Boucher SAC Gives: De'Aaron Fox, Marvin Bagley, Tristan Thompson, Davion Mitchell, & 2022 SAC 1st (Top 8 Protected) Why for SAC? Although I consider Fox more valuable than VanVleet, VanVleet...

As I've previously stated, I've been on the "tear it down and formally rebuild" train for awhile now. However, if I was GM and Vivek was forcing me to compete now, this sis an idea that could help us get there... ---------------------------------------------------------- DET Gets: Marvin...

TRADE #1 BOS Gets: Buddy Hield & Mo Harkless BOS Gives: Al Horford & Aaron Nesmith Why for BOS? The Celtics add an elite floor spacing SG who spreads the floor even more for Tatum & Brown. Hield's defense would likely be mitigated being surrounded by such great defenders like Smart, Brown...
