OG Anunoby my first choice, Kyle Kuzma would be my last if we dont keep Harrison Barnes.
Lets add a 3 & D guy out the draft, either murray twin or the young bull from duke, find a way to get another big behind sabonis, let queta get some minutes, get rid of barnes & holmes & lets run it back.
I don't think the Kings have to match what the Suns did. They right now have zero depth on the roster. They have 5 guys under contract. A ton of free agents and no draft picks. 3 of the starters have struggled with injuries the last couple of years.
The Kings need to focus on themselves and how to make themselves better. No panic moves over this.
Look at the free agent market….
Jeremi Grant, Kelly Oubre, Harrison Barnes, Kyle Kuzma.
Or a trade for OG.
Then it is getting a quality backup big.
Outside of this, I think it is focusing on just making the Kings better with more practice time and continuing to develop more team chemistry.
That off-season plan is terrible
Very good points Matt I hope you enjoy your vacation. Have a good time and let’s go Kings .
I like o max prosper
If you cant make a big time trade. Let harrison walk, move keegan to the 3. Start lyles with vezenkof as your back up 4. Sign Jock Landale as your back up 5. Draft a 3 who can play defense and shoot to back up Keegan. I like O max Prosper. Everything else stays put
Matt, you're the best! I agree that player development of current players is more likely than blowing up the roster by getting impatient to win Chip now. Matt, here's my prediction: Either this upcoming season or the season after that, Keegan Murray will win NBA Most Improved Player award!
Step 1 draft someone at 24
Step 2 find a trade partner for Barnes if you can't find a trade
Step 3 resign Barnes and Lyles
Step 4 trade Holmes
Step 5 Find out if Vezenkov is coming over or not
Step 6 free agents
This is as crazy I see the Kings getting this off-season
They better not trade Keegan Murray. He will be a star.
Sign grandma josephine as your midde linebacker and then have Mike Brown play small forward.
I didn't want Beal on our team. He's gets injured too much.
Beale is just too expensive, I like Harrison over Beale because of availability. I know we don’t want to pay him the 20 mil but, we may not have a choice at this point.
Ya I agree it’s good that teams want Keegan. That means we have leverage but more importantly we have Keegan.
the kings should trade homles and 2 2 round picks for steven adams
The fact that teams want Keegan tells me we should keep him. If he develops a little he’s going to be a monster.
I'm with you
Add yuta watanabe. He'll b cheap and solid 3 n d guy
Don't bring H.B
back
Jock Lansdale and Neemis should be reserves for Sabonis at center. PORZINGIS COULD BE THE IN CENTER Rotation with Sabonis.
HELL NO Bizmack!!He's 6-8. Too small to play the 5spot
Select Jackson Davis at 24, second round: best defensive wing available. Other teams want way too much to trade.
All I know is that Sabonis better start shooting. We ain't forgettin' that woeful playoff performance.
Damnnnn Matt not landing any of them? Any real player should want the starting gig because this team so close to being special (if the money is right)
Like DSJ or someone in draft too. Deep draft
Matt, I know Toronto brought up Keegan's name in the trade deadline talks, but I think that offer is outdated and it doesn't live or die with Keegan. Kings can get OG with different pieces.
If any of these are available, it's a quick yes from me. Even if it's 2 firsts.
Davion + Holmes + draft compensation
Barnes (sign and trade) + draft compensation
I think it is best for us to keep Harrison Barnes, and Lyles. Terence Davis and Quetta are also good players to have…idk…depends on what our options are for them.
Man I always agree with you Matt! Agreed with you on Murray last year too. Also think Brandin Podziemski is an option too if they don’t bring back TD.
Sign and trade Barnes straight up for Christian Wood?
Wouldn't mind a little Lyles starting experiment at the beginning of the year…
