Trade sabonis.. honestly.. his play is wierd.. he’s good but to have a center that one on one pulls up top of the key to pass.. man I want us to get a center that takes one on ones to the hoop more
A shot blocking athletic big would be nice for once… some kings fan love to say hes a “4” you do realize he was partnered next to a perfect stretch center who averaged 36% from 3 and 2 Bpg while with sabonis and the pacers decided to give up on the experiment and sided with turner …. He lacks major things for a big he shot 1.2 3s a game hes scared to shoot doesn’t rim protect… not athletic… I have his jersey and still love him but this season made me realize who he is … hes a hustle guy who sets screens…. Maybe the cavs want to go all in and spice things up with Tatum out all year the east will be wide open maybe the cavs do a jarret allen for sabonis swap of some sort … sabonis would pair nice next to a mobley who can save him a lil bit on defense and offense as a big pairing
Tijuana for arm lengthening surgery
Sabonis gets paid 45 mil a year, but he is a bad defender, and he is literally scared to even touch the ball on offense during crunch time, let alone shoot it. He is a complete non-factor on offense in 4th quarters. Absolutely a terrible move to give him that much money
I like Sabonis, the play in tournament was bad, but if he needs to go for a better package in the future then that is all up to Perry. I still believe in Sabonis and that he can become a winning player in Sacramento. Big fan of his game
An okc style rebuild if they are smart
Domantis Sabonis for Zion Williamson?
Hell no.
Zion either has trouble staying healthy or he ends up showing up each year way out of shape.
I would rather go for John Collins in Utah, he and a couple of other players would give the Kings some depth. Jonas Valancuanas as the starting center might not be perfect, but he is more of a rim protector.
Collins, Murray, Valancuanas, Lavine, ??? And then Monk and a couple of others on the bench…..I would rather have than Zion Williamson.
I feel the same way about Ja Morant. Only with Ja, you get a guy who seems to have lost his explosiveness and he is a behavior problem.
Hell, I would rather go to Portland for a big and one of their point guards.
Pelicans not taking back more salary, and they drafted a center that actually plays defense and is a lob threat
Sabonis for Zion might work because both franchise management are boneheads. More so Sacramento but two boneheads talking it's a toss up who'd fleece one another
a gap year? bro, it's the kings. every year is a gap year. every year a is a tryout for the employees under vivek bumradive. Even fans do the same thing where they want coach in coach out, GM in, GM out, Player in Player out. Stability is key to the org. they need to ride out whatever they decide.
Sabonis is a GOOD player, but he’s paid like a franchise guy
Everyone acts like it’s so easy to build around sabonis, “just surround him with long athletic wings that can hit threes!”
Yeah right, those guys are coveted around the league, and if it was so easy to do, OKC would’ve kept him and so would of Indiana
Oh yeah, he’s also one of the worst performing “all-stars” I’ve seen in the post season
Trade him if you can and start this thing over, this ain’t Monte’s team anymore let’s see Perry’s vision
The only destination that possibly could change Zion's poor lifestyle choices. It's South Beach. Domas fits GSW.
Trade sabonis, demar and lavine. Draft hansen yang as a replacement. At least thrres some size and low post game
That is not how Christie sees it!
I’m a big fan of the Zion move but idk if Nola wants that. I think you’d have a better shot moving Zach for Zion to them cause they can use his scoring outside & he will be closer to an expiring contract to resign or extend cheaper. NOLA just drafted a defensive center so I think that’s a more likely deal. Which is good for us cause Sabonis & Zion with Keon and Keegan would be nice to see.
I will go with that. Keep DeRozan, Lavine, Monk, Murray Keon Ellis. This line up will be feroceous barring Zion Williamson injury. Zion will dominate inside and outside the perimeter.Great move if this happens.
it's exhausting hearing Vivek get blamed for every bad move. Listen, if a guy is a competent G.M. he doesn't allow it to happen so whether it's something the owner is forcing (highly unlikely) or not it ultimately falls on the G.M. It's seems laughably stupid to think a billionaire owner is making these moves. I'm starting to believe the only reason these YT grifters blame him is because they have access to these fired GMs and none to the owner so they regurgitate b.s. narratives given to them by fired GMs. The only thing Vivek has done is save Sacramento basketball, pay into the tax when it's warranted, supported the fans and wants a winner which is all anyone should expect from an owner. Vivek isn't reading scouting reports and watching college basketball and then telling his GM who to draft. He's not calling our head coaches and demanding certain players play. He's not reading box scores and watching NBA games to figure out who to trade for. Anyone suggesting otherwise is a moron. Everything that has happened is because we've had buffoons as GM. You can fault Vivek for those hires all you want but it's not like Sac can get great candidates. He's going by referrals from people he trusts to make these decisions. And kudos to him for firing inept GMs and coaches instead of wasting time. Hopefully Perry rights the ship. But if he doesn't, I know all the talking heads will surely blame Vivek
I want Sabonis to go to Lakers and everyone will start to speak how good he is …
Picture this. Zach, Kuminga, Zion. No Sabonis, No DeMar No Kegan. Fast breaks, lobs, excitement. Fans going crazy. City buzzing. Give me Trayce Jackson-Davis just for kicks and Kings are possibly a second round playoff team
Would you trade Sabonis for Austin Reeves, Dorian Finny Smith, Rui H, and a 28 First rd pick ?
Man, I am also a huge Domas defender, and he can definitely be a dominant first option, but ONLY if he is willing to be a 20+ per game guy alongside his facilitation. He simply doesn't try to dominantly score which confuses me so much since he can score great at 3 levels.
Zion for Sabonis? I’ll drive Sabonis to the airport myself. Sign me up
This Kings organization is horrendous at drafting. The illusion of rebuilding for two to three years is just hilarious. Doomed to repeat history. Kings have pieces they can retool and yet here are “fans” demanding a rebuild so that we can watch sub 30 win seasons again. Embarrassing fan base with nothing but hit piece after hit piece on the organization, coaches, and players.
