Sacramento Kings Reportedly Interested in Trae Young

Sacramento Kings Reportedly Interested in Trae Young

lube on ESPN 1320 trade ideas baby let’s go it’s our favorite thing sorry if that was super loud we love a trade idea we do brian Winhor says the NBA offseason is going to ramp up right away nba draft right around the draft it’s when stuff is going to hit the fan going to see a lot of player movement i think there’s also teams maybe it’s the Jazz just picking a team with some good veterans who they could probably move are going to try really hard to maybe move up because there’s some blue chip talent at the top of the draft and they’re sixth fifth sixth maybe try and package that pick with Yeah something else to move up yeah I could see that um I also like I I think with uh just the way this draft is like it’s super topheavy um but then there’s a lot of question marks from then on after you get past like the top five right like a lot of wide openen draft like if someone were to take somebody at eight or 20 there isn’t a huge big difference between right um I I don’t know this is a draft that I would get back into um you know again I had someone tell me like if you think this is like a a 16 player draft like and you’re going to move back into this draft you better you better if you’re let’s say let’s say you’re going to move to the top 10 there better be 10 guys that you’re in love with like straight up there better be 10 10 players that you’re in love with because if not why’d you move in why’d you moved into that spot like it doesn’t make any sense to get to the a spot and if you you get to 10 and you realize that there’s five players that you like at number 10 you probably should have traded for number 13 or number 14 or number 15 like that’s like this isn’t a draft that I think that anyone is going into and saying “Okay look we’re going to reset all of our depth or anything like that.” Well it’s like what we talked about with the 49ers picking 11th in this year’s NFL draft yeah like they could pick 11th and trade back to 20 and get probably a similar caliber player well very similar here that’s why you take a flyer at 11 on a guy that has like unlimited potential but hasn’t really delivered yet because at least you’re you’re banking on upside and so for the Kings they can’t really bank on they should be a team who’s banking on upside but because of the age of your team and everything else I would expect the Kings to be a much bigger player on July 1st than they are like on draft night why uh because once you get to July 1st you have access to your 2026 pick right so uh you can’t trade that pick until the new Well you can trade that you can have a deal set up that will trade that pick but you also you get your 20 agree to terms of a deal but can’t execute the trade until July one yeah so so like the day of the the draft they can’t trade their 2026 first round pick because of Stephanie roll and they already have their 2025 gone right right but you get five six days later and you hit to July 1st that trade is once a draft happens it’s over that the 2025 pick is gone it’s no longer on your books you can out trade your 2026 pick but you have to wait until the reset of calendar year so I would not be surprised if the Kings are like are more in the big trade market around that time than they are on draft day draft unless you got some other deal that makes a lot of sense okay right so there’s a report out right now i want to I want to get to your trade ideas because you got a two-part trade that’s really fun here and I want to get to it there’s also this report that came out this morning from Grant Aith at RG Media and he reported that Darius Garland has drawn trade interest from the Kings and Trey Young has also drawn trade interest from the Kings i want to put a pin in the Trey Young thing for a second okay we talked a lot about Darius Garland yesterday we did this seems like one of those things where I my knee-jerk reaction to this was of course they’re interested they should be interested in every good point guard yeah yeah you should have a a giant whiteboard with with tiers of point guards and who’s obtainable and who’s not straight up you should have like it all mapped out like if you can get player XYZ you know with this trade this trade this trade yeah the thing I’m interested in because it doesn’t shock me that the Kings are like “Yeah hey Darius got we we talked about Trey Young LaMelo Ball John Morant.” Those are those are the three but then we brought up Andrew Nehard see Derek White Drew Holiday like there’s all these Darius Garland should 100% be on that list whether the Cavs want to trade him or not don’t know but my interest is more is he just on the list or is he a player that the Kings have circled and okay hey here’s this list of 10 names we’re going to underline the three that we’re going to overpay for we’re going to bend over backward we need to get Darius Garland we think he is the key piece to build around moving forward and if that’s true if that’s the case are they willing to make are they willing to involve Keegan Murray in that deal are they willing to involve several first round picks in that deal because if they’re not then they might wind up disappointed in the quality of player they’re going to go get well yeah i I think here’s the difficult thing like if you have a whole list of players you’re not just going to randomly grab a player off the list call that team and say “Can I get that player?” Sure and then I’m just going to do that deal no so I think the the way that this was written from the article that we’re we’re from RG uh sports whatever it is RG media RG media RG.org or okay the website the way that like if I’m reading this correctly though um the they also they they say the Kings have interest in Garland but also on top of that Trey Young came up in recent talks and the King uh while Sacramento’s interest in the Kings multiple sources told RG that the Atlanta Hawks have spoken with the Kings on a potential framework centered around Trey Young in recent weeks oh however those trades have since stalled so this is why I’m I’m bringing this up right now in this this discussion it makes sense that you have on your board what a the framework of a Trey Young trade looks like what the framework of a Darius Garland trade works looks like what a possible uh LaMelo Ball trade looks like have conversations build out and then you look at the three or four or five deals that are sitting there that you think you can get done or that you might be able to get done and then you aggressively attack whichever one you think is right and then if that one doesn’t work out you might go to the next one so either way you need to build out framework for these trades in advance and and start building something that makes a lot of sense like now uh so then when it is time to go you don’t want to get swooped you don’t want to have some other team come in and and offer Russell Westbrook for Kyle Kosma and Montres Herald instead of the deal that you had for Buddy Heield yeah so you got to get you got to get all your ducks in a row you need to touch base you need to build out frameworks of a trade what a potential trade would look like with each individual team and then choose the logical step for your franchise you know gauging age gauging production gauging position gauging uh whether or not they’re a two-way player they just play they’re just an offensive player whether a pass first or a score first point guard like all of these things and if you acquire that player are there other dominoes that fall where if you are acquiring Trey Young yep you know that man there’s a kind of specific type of player that you’re going to need to put alongside him or players that you’re going to need to put alongside him no totally do we have those moves in place yeah it’s a and that’s where that’s where I was talking about earlier when we say that Brian Winhorse said that the offseason is going to get moving quickly that’s where like man you are not going to be able to afford to fall behind because it’s not one move that needs to happen yeah especially with Sacramento i mean like if I’m Sacramento um and you’re gonna play in the pool of like where all the sharks are right you’re you’re looking for um a frontline NBA starting point guard if that’s your main objective you’re looking at 40 to$50 million player and you you might you either have two of those moves in you or you have one of those moves or you might have three depending on who how many of the the players you want to give up so um for me like I my my trade that I I’m proposing um is is pretty specific like um I I don’t I don’t love Trey Young as like an end all beall player um but when I factor in contract I factor in age and I factor in the fact that he is both a true point guard and a scoring point guard um I I I think I like him as a player and I also think that there’s a way in which you can put him alongside somebody that makes you know that makes everyone better like you know what I mean so like I I but what I can’t have is I can’t have a Trey Young and Zack Lavine backcourt that gives up 140 points a night and Demon Sabonis is in foul trouble every single game yeah so my proposed trade would be um Zack Lavine uh the the Spurs pick in 2027 and one other lottery protected pick from the Kings for Trey Young and it’s a straight salary swap and people go well why would the Hawks do that it’s a great question and the answer is the Hawks are looking to reset around a younger roster with Risha Bache and and Jaylen Johnson and that group um you know Capella’s on his way out the door they’ve got a they they got rid of Bogdanovich during the season like Dyson Daniels is is part of their their future and Trey Young is looking for an an extension right now and that extension is going to be 200 something million bucks he’s owed basically the same exact money as Zack Lavine is he’s at 46 million and 48 million 48.5 it’s within like 500 grand of the Zack Lavine contract so the player swap the the money works to swap out player for player and so they’re not taking on any additional money they’re not taking on any additional years of Zack Lavine that the contracts with Trey Young line up perfectly but what you’re doing is you’re swapping out a player giving uh Dyson Daniels someone new to play with and handing the team to him and saying “Okay you’re our guy now um and we’re going to have a really good scoring wing wingman next to you and then at the same time you’re collecting a couple of first round picks in order to continue the build that you’re trying to accomplish so that’s why they would do that and as far as the Kings like look I think Trey Young in Sacramento uh does not work at all next to Lavine but I think Trey Young in Sacramento works perfectly fine next to uh a guy like Keon Ellis in the starting back court and then having a guy like Malik Monk come off the bench and give you something having Devin Carter still part of that like I think that there is a way in that you can create something um with that back court that’s different than what you currently have so I like this idea very much and if you’re able to get out of Zack Lavine’s contract and acquire a starle point guard in the in the process that is a slam dump no pun intended yeah like that is something you have to do um if you’re building around Trey Young though because this he 27 at the start of next year okay which means this is now your new window yep this is not a rebuild this is a going for it now with Trey Young there is a very specific type of build that now needs to continue i totally agree where there there has to be an influx and I think Scott Perry recognizes there has to be that influx of of size and athleticism athleticism that we talk about and what what is so appealing about Trey Young to me is not the scoring he’s going to give you 20 plus a night he averaged 24.2 he’s averaging 25.3 for his career 24.2 last season it’s not only the assist numbers he averaged 11.6 assists a game last year mhm but it’s the way he playmakes that sets up his teammates and I think Trey Young elevates the players around him offensively i think he makes players better not where wow the Hawks have been contending for titles that’s not the case but I think the the quality of player you need offensively comes down a little bit where you can go get a very defensive-minded um hustle grit type of player yeah because they’re going to get open they’re going to stand in the corner they’re going to get open threes off of Trey Young he’s going to break down a defense he’s going to touch the paint and he is going to make the right pass to the open shooter and now maybe that three-point shooter is 33 is 33% but man he’s 38% from the corner because that is just a wideopen look and that’s something that you want to generate uh and that’s something that that I think can help carry the Kings offense around Treyo but we’ll continue talking about this we got to step aside on the radio side we’ll keep talking about this because there’s a second part of this that goes along with it this is not a one part trade there’s a two-part trade the second part of that trade is going to go toward what we’re talking about right now with adding more size and athleticism we’ll get to that next he’s James Ham i’m Kyle Matson that’s Joe Brazil we’re the insider sponsored by Jeffy
