why?

the only needle that seems to move is the one scratching my record.

but assume that means we'll be moving a forward as part of more important deal.

So it looks like the TPE is actually paying off for a change. Wonder if we're giving any 2nds back though or if Brooklyn is just buying their way out of luxury tax.

that's about what I know

 

[Kingz19]

why?

He’s a wing with a 7 foot wing span. We wanted more of those guys right?

I don’t know what else

 

[joemama]

Give so many wings a shot, that one has to not be horrible right?

 

[midtowner]

I’d rather Kessler get minutes than Okpala at this point. Kessler plays a little stiff, but is strong and athletic and can be an ok 3pt shooter (catch and shoot). Not a bad wing to have for the bench rotation.

Hmm. Assuming all we're sending is like a top 55 protected 2nd that will never convey, I like it. Kessler had a few really good games his rookie year and is 22, 6'8 wing. Looks like he's playing really well in the G-League this year.

16.9 PPG
6.4 RPG
1.9 APG
40% from 3 on 5.7 3PA


Good buy-low swing.

…. Is he good?

The exact right approach to be taking. All it takes is for one to finally hit and you found a rotation piece at the most valuable NBA position for nothing

I had identified him as a trade candidate last year but he ended last year poorly. Haven’t seen him this season.

Kind of looks like he was expected to take a leap, but just never made the rotation this year? Had some stand-out games defensively as a rookie too.

He is playing well in the G league. He is 6'8 with a good wingspan. Supposed to be a 3 & D type player.

I do like Edwards as well. This can pan out. Also, don’t like it as our only move but stockpiling length. Fans will like him in time I think.

Fingers crossed that Monte stole a productive guy similar to Lyles productivity. That is my hope.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Dang according to his wikipedia page he was converted from a 2-way contract to a full NBA deal but I guess he'll be just like a typical 2nd rounder for us if he is going to be in Stockton to start. Would love a guy that can be on the main roster and get some minutes not sure where he fits but I guess somewhere where KZ would be?

 

[MizzouKing]

Hearing nothing but good things about his defense. Sounds like he hasn't gotten a lot of burn with his current team.

Had a surprisingly good rookie year, then what I'm trying to find out is why he never got back into the rotation this season. Started 23 games, 20 MPG last year, but nothing this year.

And I do recall he had a few stand-out games and has tremendous length on the wing. Think he's a developmental buy-low piece at a premium position as opposed to someone who can step in right away and help

 

[macadocious]

I'm not sure if we have to use the TPE because he's a minimum I think. So we can just get him. @Capt. Factorial can you confirm?

 

[dude12]

I mentioned this in the trade thread…….I’m hoping Monte stole a Lyles level of production guy from another team. I’ve actually had my eye on him and was wondering why the Nets stopped giving him opportunities. Solid low key pick up

 

[The_Jamal]

Im not Capt, but I do know our TPE expires before the deadline and it sounds like the Nets just want to dump salary and are opening up a roster slot. We can absorb him in that TPE without sending money back.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Is he a minimum? It says this will save Brooklyn 8 million in salary including the tax, which I assumed to mean his deal is in the 4 million range, but that might be over 2 seasons?

Well we need one of those. Pels showed how weak we are at wing

Love this.

Yeah, might just be a guy who fell out of favor with Vaughn and the Nets needing to shed salary are getting rid of a young player for free. We take that all day every day

Never mind, looks like it's going into the Bagley TPE

 

[jiimbob]

Could work out well to shore up the bench and we can still get a center upgrade like Plumee in here. It's not a huge splash, but not sure if Monte wants to mess with the starting 5 anyway.
