THE REFS TRIED IT BUT FOX SAID NOPE
Mitchell will be moved soon. When we see Mitchell backs up vs worsw teams, guaranteed a trade is coming.
It’s awesome for Keon to have these moments he’s the energy bug this team has lacked for a long time but frankly this team feels a bit worse than last year especially with that starting 5 changes have to be made and they need to stop fouling so much particularly early in games which affects their defense
Tell me what you think: Lyles needs more of my guy Harrison's minutes to help more down low, trade Huerter for a more athletic SG and find more minutes for Vez. And my hope is that Linn comes back strong next mo. JS
Oops didn't watch till the end. Matt kind of touch on this. GO KINGS..
I watch the long highlights of every kings game / not once this year has Barnes , huerter even made more than a shot or two and no other appearances except when getting burned on defense
I really like Ellis, still think he has more to offer personally I would be interested in seeing him and D Mitch on the floor together. The only reason SGA scored 40+ was because he was allowed to use his off arm to push off.
Playing you guys is so annoying lol. Great game Kingsbros
I wouldn't be surprised if Davion Mitchell is moved with Harrison Barnes in a trade, especially if they were to make a deal with Toronto for OG Anunoby.
Very happy for Keon Ellis. He is showing why the Kings have been patient with himband his development and why Keon Ellis should be proud of the work he has put in.
I do think the Kings can make a trade. I don't think the Kings should trade Kevin Huerter.
I don't know why anyone would.
The Kings have an overabundance of SF players.
But they don't have the defense or consistency from Barnes it takes to get to the next level.
I know Huerter is the more attractive piece for a move. I do. Our issue is having to move on from HB into a better defender and more consistent player.
The Raptors are likely going into rebuild mode and they need a pg and someone to pair up with Scottie Barnes to keep them from being completely garbage during that time if/when they trade OG and Pascal.
I don't think the Kings need Pascal because they have plenty of scoring. They need defense way more. OG won't take away a ton of shots from Huerter, Murray or Monk or even Sabonis. Pascal would do that.
Which is why I am not one to go for the Bulls. Some can argue about Caruso and his defense, sure. He just doesn't seem to me like a complete upgrade over Huerter and Monk. Huerter can hit some amazing 3's and Monk is so hard to stop that I am not really sure anyone can.
The types of guys that seem to be getting thr best of the Kings seem to be in the front court though.
LeBron James, Kwahi Leonard, Paul George, etc. The Kings seem to be struggling with those guys especially. That is why I just hope they can package together HB, Davion and a pick or two and get OG. I know there are a few others likely to be available as well if the Kings miss out on OG. OG to me is the best option. The one who raises both the floor and ceiling of what this team can do to go from Good to Great.
Probably to me the second option might be to move Murray to SF and use the same trade package get John Collins from Utah. It sounds like the Jazz want to shake the roster up and Collins makes an interesting target. Not the answer on defense OG would be, but might be the second best option in the front court that is out there that would be more consistent and not steal a ton of shots from the existing team.
Because anyone else pretty much means trading away Keegan Murray and I think it is a non-starter in a trade talk. Pascal, great player…but with his expiring contract especially, I wouldn't want to give up Murray in a trade for him. Pascal would have to agree to an extension to make it worth it. Even then, I would have a hard time with that move.
As for mentioning the Warriors…I at least can respect the rest of the team over Draymond Green.
I am just glad the Kings didn't bring him in this past summer. He just is too much of a headache.
