What non-star trade candidates intrigue you for the Sacramento Kings?
Question what non-star trade candidates Intrigue you for the Sacramento Kings obviously you can go other here but he has named a few names I have currently for example matis styo Malcolm Brogden Alex Caruso Tory Craig PJ Washington Royce O’Neal Dorian Vinnie Smith can I just say yes I just want
Them all I’ll take any of them any of them I will take absolutely any of those guys Malcolm Brogden is interesting he’s up in he’s definitely the best of all those guys for sure he’s the best the question is do you need him no um I don’t know that’s kind of a tough
One because he’s a dude who’s always kind of been like that he he’s okay coming off the bench I think you know ideally he would be the backup point guard in this situation uh kind of like what I assume the Celtics thought he would have been for them last year right
Um I think they could I I do think that that would be a really steadying Presence at the point guard position where you can just put the ball in his hands and and feel good about it and uh takes the ball out of Malik’s hands which has its pluses and its minuses for
Sure I I wouldn’t mind that I don’t know what Portland would want I mean funny enough there’s two guys on the list from Portland maybe like what would a matis thel and uh Malcolm Brogden what would they want back from that I I don’t know because trading with Portland is just
It’s a tough situation because what what is their need like they they probably want young guys they don’t know they don’t want unless they I mean yeah because they have Jeremy Grant too so maybe there is a world where they’re where they think it might not be so bad
To be slightly competitive you know maybe maybe competing for those playin spots because I mean we saw the other day there’s there’s some Talent there Anthony Simon scoot Henderson you know Shaden got Shaden Shar back on that team like there it’s not far away from being a semblance of a of a
Roster there that that could do some damage so yeah I mean it kind of comes comes up to what Portland wants but I I would love Malcolm Brogden he wouldd be by far the best answer at backup point guard if he’s willing to take it and we
Have to look at the contract situations yeah there’s no way matis styal I know he hit a couple threes against the Kings but who didn’t when they played a couple nights ago that guy averaging and we talked about this with with vandermill we’ll talk these are conversations that
Chris and I have yes off air we tend to go back and forth with the line of the defensive stopper and what they can provide offensively and I’m probably putting matis styel and Vanderbilt in similar categories but I think matis is probably better offensively I think so yeah matis is is
Starting to hit his threes I think he’s at 30 9 or 40% nowadays from three on like two or three attempts so I I think that he’s he’s somebody who’s at least figured out how to be on the floor 39.6 there you go there you go um so yeah I
Mean if he if he’s able to knock it down at that rate I I think the Kings can find 15 minutes for him for sure uh the yeah the the vanderbelt thing is interesting because he’s averaging like one point a game no joke like not that’s
What I said somehow not a joke he’s actually averaging a single point per game uh but he does provide so much length and athleticism and kind of almost exactly what the Kings need defensively but it is a question and I’ve talked about it before the Kings
Tried to throw out mooh harkas into a starting lineup they tried to throw kyak paala into the starting lineup last year you gotta and you know they’ve also tried to put DAV on you can put DAV on in that conversation as well you have to provide some form of base layer of
Offense just to justify you being out there because while yes the Kings do need defensive help their offense is where their bread is buttered and if you’re just a complete liability on the offensive end if you just stall the offense while you’re out there that’s a lot more detrimental than your your
Defense being beneficial unless you’re just like Scotty freaking pipping or something right and nowadays with everybody shooting or teams being so three heavy yeah it feels like now I’m going old school here it feels like it sticks out more when you don’t have a shooter because all you’re doing is
Shooting so the disres it’s not that they are more disrespectful than they were back in the day it’s that so many people were getting to the paint yeah you didn’t have to you were leaving people in a different way totally you weren’t just leaving them on an island
The same way so yeah I think if if you say matis and Brogden I don’t know how Brogden affects I don’t know how Brogden affects the Malik situation if we take a look at brog contract but there’s no way I’m doing thall by himself I would think about Ian oh if
You’re if you’re the Kings you’re saying depending on what they want I mean I have matis thel I I think he would fit into the rotation pretty nicely and who are you giving up for him though yeah I I don’t know again yeah I don’t I don’t
Know what his value sits at anymore because when he was in Philly it felt like every team that was in a winning situation was like we got to get matis iel over here he was the hot name and now that he’s in Portland it just kind of feels like everyone’s like ah he
Doesn’t exist anymore and and he’s just not the same hot commodity that he was before um so with that said I mean it seems like the perceived value would be at like at best a late first round pick uh if not you could probably figure out some sort of player player swap player
Exchange that I think would would make some sense but I don’t I don’t think matis thel would would really ask for that much I my number one with a bullet is absolutely Alex Caruso for me I think that’s a dude who’s just a winner and and he can play either the backup point
Guard or he can play the backup too I honestly think he could steal a lot of minutes in terms of closing lineups like he’s the type of dude who you just want to have him on the floor when the game’s being decided because he’s going to do
Something to win the game he can knock down threes at a good enough level he’s one of the best perimeter defenders in the NBA he’s also just like a hustle guy which the Kings don’t really have davon’s a dog when it comes to on ball defense but you don’t really see him you
See him dive on the floor a couple times but Alex Caruso is one those just lunatic Maniacs who takes it to another level and is like diving into the crowd and just doing whatever it takes he’s like the definition of what you would say is just a winning basketball player
I would put JTA in that category but I would put Alex cruso higher up offensively JTA doesn’t do enough offensively sure to to play him the minutes and he’s not as good defensively as Alex Caruso so I think you we you have that on the Kings but JTA just
Doesn’t do enough other not get minutes right he does not do enough other stuff 916 339 1140 if you want to be a part of the conversation like Sean who wants to talk some Kings what’s up Sean you’re on souen Watkins sack toown Sports what’s up guys hey um something I
Want to bring up I think the most overrated Comon suggestion is you need to have defensive players on the floor um I think because this is what I think I think the more scoring you have better your chance are winning and when time comes to play when the time comes to
Play defense the Kings played defense last year right game four uh game five was kind of a let down but game six was a great defensive game even in game seven if it wasn’t for step they had a good defensive game um so I think instead of seeing who could play defense
Because you could kind I mean unless if they’re a uh like a Ron arest type of Defender right which there aren’t many of them out there I think you have to add to to your strength right get more scoring in there I mean we’re we’re basically getting 15 points points a
Night out of the two and three right so we need to add scoring um and then when the time comes to play defense I think these guys will play defense because they played it last year when the time came to play defense uh and one last
Thing before I go um I think it was a a big mistake by Monty he hasn’t made many but last year in game seven which is our biggest game of the season Mike Brown didn’t play Davon Mitchell right so there you there was some sign that Mike
Brown does not trust Davon Mitchell the time to move on from Davon Mitchell was last year this off season now that he’s back he I don’t know if he has any trade value left but we have no backup point guard Keon OS is giving us some minutes but we need something more consistent
And that’s where they have to kind of get another player to fit into a rotation no thanks for the call Sean good stuff yeah I mean going more offense that’s essentially what the Kings did in the offseason by bringing in a Sasha venkov and bringing in guys
That they think hey we’re just going to continue to try to score now the issue is is to what Sean talks about you’re not getting that production from I think he said two and three but I think just between Harrison Barnes and herder that’s the issue here they’re at they’re
Barely getting to 15 combined yeah so you gotta fix that I will push back on not needing a defensive player I completely disagree well you can’t you cannot it’s interesting though because you could say well you can get better offensively and then the defense doesn’t matter as much that’s why we’re having
Convers ations about a about a brog and thy trade because that you need you need both yeah I mean you need both but at some point like you have enough offense and getting a stop is just as valuable as getting a bucket and you can I mean
Everybody’s in the NBA everyone can make points like we just saw what our our boy dwop whatever scored 25 points yeah like anybody on a given night can hit shots but if you can slow a team down that’s the best way of being consistent every night I mean shots you can be Keegan
Murray you can be Kevin hder who we all know are good Shooters but for whatever reason you can’t hit a shot on a given night your defense can be there to save you and that’s why it’s so important to play defense because in a playoffs where it’s two months and you’re playing
Potentially an extra what 30 games or whatever you’re telling me you’re going to be able to hit shots for what you need to win four you need to win 12 games or whatever 16 games to to win a a a Championship you’re going to shoot well for 16 games that’s really tough to
Do maybe if you can play defense for four or five of those games it just lightens the load this team has to be better on the defensive end if they if they want to win championships they cannot just get into shootouts and and say we have better Shooters than you
Because that might be true most of the time or some of the time but it’s not going to be true all the time they need somebody that can defend the wings and they need somebody that can create their shot and one more piece for Shawn I
Would say that number one the Kings lost to the Warriors so even though yeah they turned it up and okay at the end there was Steph Curry well step didn’t score aund and whatever points he scored a lot but he didn’t score every he went 50
Piece but he didn’t score every point so that that’s number one number two if you had somebody maybe you wouldn’t have been in that situation and number three the Warriors basically got smacked by the Lakers who got smacked by the Nuggets so I don’t think the warriors were very
Good last season is what I’m saying so if you weren’t able to King couldn’t hit knock down shots they could knock down shots and you still and you got to that game seven if you had that Defender and I to to that point Davon didn’t play but
Maybe if you had one more defensive piece you’re able to get through so I wouldn’t use last season’s playoff I can’t even call it a run because you lost in the first series I wouldn’t use that to say to use it as a example of
The Kings turning it up all right got to get to a break when we get back de’arra Fox hits a career high seven threes in that loss what can he do to truly be a part of the MVP conversation Styles and Watkins sack toown Sports
There are some big names attached to trades with the Sacramento Kings. Zach LaVine, OG Anunoby, and Lauri Markkanen are just a few. But who are some non-starters you’d want to see in Sacramento?
